This is the first I'm hearing of repl.it and it looks like an amazing resource. How does this work business-wise? How does it make money? Edit: Will Julia be supported in the future? This is not good... https://repl.it&#x2F

But it's precisely that. The prevailing attitude is that, well, advertisers are going to track that you googled "ob/gyn prenatal care XYZ area" and hostiles are going to be able to doxx you anyway -- you have to take pro

I think there's a part in your comment that you thought but somehow neglected to type out. It reads to me like two completely disconnected parts.

I don't necessarily disagree with what you said. This is because I don't know what you're arguing for . Wealth taxes are one solution for what ? For the anger people feel when they realize billionaires exist, absolutely. To

To build a (small, steady) following. Twitter is full of weird people who are the core potential audience of my creative/intellectual stuff. (HN in contrast is not.)

Yes. Even the vaunted algorithm is merely an improved way of doing this. I remember when "the long tail" became a slogan. What was meant was that if popularity is a power law, then at every level there's a shorter long tail.

There's something called "economics", much like there is something called "psychiatry". [Maybe we need more sociology in policy-making. Maybe economics is too narrow a view on the world. But it is a specific field o

Apparently there's "right wing" people in Haskell now. This is such a paper thin threat on unspecified persons who must know they're being targeted. Seriously, I don't think the readership of HN is in any disagreeme

Where I live, undergrads have to present their capstone graduation paper to a committee, much like PhD students do. I've had a handful opportunities to ask, after a presentation about this very subject: why is this bad? I never got goo

I dropped from grad school with a Master's degree in applied math, and vowed to keep studying for the rest of my life. It's really hard to study "real maths" on your own. It's harder to understand materials without

Maybe Dreyfus's course already did this, but it's worthwhile reading other perspectives into Heidegger. Rorty kind of shoehorns him into a pragmatist, while Graham Harman does, well, Graham Harman philosophy. His book "Tool-b
