I like this analogy. To take it further I'm equally as fine with me eating an 8-bit animal as I am with a 64-bit being coming into my house and eating 32-bit me :)

I paint (mostly acrylic) and code. To me, the notion of building a practice run is very liberating; it enables me to think about components, how they should be named/organized, how they interact without the pressure of "getting it

Vim also supports org mode as well. Not quite as nice as emacs but it gets the job done for me

"days when you were anonymous, getting to know strangers through common interests and exchanging ideas. I do miss those early days" That's what HN is to me right now. Yeah it's not truly anonymous but almost everyone her

Glad to hear things worked out for your client. The key thing is, YOU had to create an exit strategy just for your client. If the specifications for the serverless platform were "open" then the client could move their stack to dif

Vendor lock-in is a serious issue. But there is an upside. Say you're building a serverless API. Say you build it using pyhton flask or bottle. You can use a packaging framework such as Zappa such that it can be deployed to serverless

Thats not healthy. I've convinced my cat to switch to vaping. Now, he only smokes when he drinks. But I'm a realist about this sort of thing.

Ever watch 'the jetsons'? Generation or so back in the USA that was the the general over-the-rainbow vision of where technology would take us. The robots would do the work while people would afford more time to spend on leisure&#x

The philosophy of the kernel is to work for everyone's need. Its a good question, if these enhancements are of broad benefit and unobtrusive as they seem it's likely better to upstreaming it vs out-of-band patches.

So the author was excited about the concept of function composition? I'm a fan of lisp but I'm not seeing what's particularly novel about lisp here.

by pweissbrod 8y ago
This resonates. I once sought to create a DSL on top of F# for workflows only to end up inventing lisp again. It was a humbling experience. The thing about lisp and why I dont use it in the workplace regularly is that it's dense and in

I'm no prison security specialist but right in downtown Manhattan, of all places, sounds like the least secure spot to host this powerful escape artist of a drug lord of anywhere in the country.

Explosive user growth in "free" SAAS and social media starts to taper towards a limit. Public companies, pressured to maintain that revenue trajectory, compensate reduced growth by squeezing more value from existing users. This te

I mildly disagree in the sense that what constitutes a "palpable" error is just too broad of a grey area. It would be encouraging to see FanDuel just cough up the erroneous wager (which is surely cheaper than a lawsuit) and tighte

I havent been following this closely but the notion of "speedy shutdown of content by the ISP" sounds strikingly similar to the late [SOPA bill]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act ) in the US

I'd be interested in knowing more about how this particular connection was made. Do you have any educated theories on how the message was inferred?

I spent two weeks trying out the evil mode in my daily workflow. Some things were much more user-friendly than vim but at many points the rough edges of the vim emulation on top of emacs showed its bare spots. Finally, lack of support for a

If your statement is correct then a workaround would be to perform scraping in a non-covered country such as CA and, once extracted, proprietary barriers are thus removed returning ownership to the individual.

Totally agree with this. When was the last time you were in line at a coffee shop? Everybody staring into their phones. Compare that with sometime from like the early 90s where conversations would start up between folks inline. All these pe

When powershell 1.0 came out I LOVED the concept of piping objects like so much streams. In my experience there were two camps of powershellers, the scripters and the programmers. The scripters, probably the more experienced folks would use

There's a significant cost covered by the inventor as they carry the burden of trial and error which comes with developing something novel/pioneering. Now, in the bigger picture, I agree with you that sharing knowledge and innova
