Are interference effects between speakers that are in separate rooms a problem for sound quality? Does beep try to add delays to signals to compensate for this? I imagine it is a pretty hard problem for N > 2 assuming. I'd love a te

The xenophobia and lack of basic logic of these protests are appalling. Even the people giving speeches at them[1] have a hard time making the connection between the buses, the evictions, and the tech industry. "we are against the elli

What would make google et. al. want to move, though? Is it really feasible for government (local or federal) to give strong enough incentives? Those companies are immensely profitable, so I'd guess it's not easy to bribe them wi

i'm a huge fan of python, and yet, after just the most superficial introduction to haskell i couldn't agree with you more. i don't think it is the static typing alone that saves time, though. it is the static typing plus type inference.
