   Fascinating read. "[..] I had never been to California before, so I was discovering San Francisco, my favorite city in the US and second-favorite city in the world. [..]" Out of curiosity does somebody know what is PG's first

   Thanks for sharing this. Especially on the page there is a presentation as well as several ports of this same program to other languages like OCaml, Haskell and JavaScript. Interesting to see that the OCaml version is on par with the C++ ve

   I understand the article, that the technique consists in starting conversation with a two people that speak already - so the ones that do not have a conversation partner yet will stay alone. Or did I miss something?

   It is actually not only asking questions. It is about asking open questions, i.e. questions that cannot be answered by yes, no, but require the person to tell a story. At the beginning it it is even more frightening, but once you force your

   Funny. It is actually the comments that made me finally read the article. Nice technique. But immediately I felt sorry for all the people that come in the room alone and do not have the courage to mingle. This technique will make them feel

   As an ex smoker I fully agree. I miss the fun l had during the smoke breaks with other people. After I quit smoking however unfortunately l quit as well the habit to make these fun and efficient breaks.

   I agree, just want to change to "ask open questions" with emphasis on "open".

   A presentation about Frege from the author itself: http://fregepl.blogspot.jp/2013/08/talk-at-karlsruhe-functio... Actually it is the link to the blog entry that contains a link to the presentation.

   "Frege is thought as a substitute for this missing GHC port. While not derived from any existing Haskell implementation, it is more or less equivalent to Haskell 2010. Please see the wiki page that details the differences." So now

    I feel exactly the same. But there are some cool projects around that do thinner the layers between software and hardware. Look for example Extempore ( http://extempore.moso.com.au/ ) or Hylas-Lisp ( https://github.

    After having slept over it I re-posted it on HN, because I am convinced it needs more attention. So in case you stumble over this comment, the new post is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6640244

    There have been two posts about it long time ago but they went completely unnoticed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5397123 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5125339 I personally am very impressed

    Wow, this blows my mind up, thanks for posting. Immediately had a look if it was already discussed on HN and to my surprise it went completely unnoticed! So here the links: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5397123 http

    This question has been asked in the comments to the article and there is answer: "Heninger et al. did check their data for “Debian weak keys.” They found 4,147 such TLS keys and 53,141 SSH keys."

    I tend to say that sed could be considered as a domain-specific scripting language usable to edit text. awk is a more generic language - to my shame I used it only for parsing and translating text - even without a REPL you can 'test&#x

    Agree with you, without knowing F#. I guess F# is related to Haskell and in Haskell you have static types, but you need them only where the compiler/interpreter is not able to infer them.

    So what? The Unix Shell library consists of all the executables that are on the system - for me this is the beauty. There is not much of abstraction between the Unix Shell and the system under it. And shell is very tolerant to other program

    Tried it on a phone with Firefox and Chrome browser. Works fine directing the fish with the finger - though sometimes you do not see the fish because of the finger. Maybe using inclinisation of the phones to direct the fish is a better idea

    Thank you very much for going into such detail. But what does it mean for the ECC or RSA methods? Which can be considered as secure? I guess we need more expertise, right?
