Wow! Excellent read!. It's even more impressive since the footnote says: "This story first appeared in the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, December 1961" Fifty-five years ago! It reminds me of a recent hn article (

In my experience most (maybe even all?) of the times I've had to leave a job and I think about how to do so, I end up realizing that the best course is to be honest. In your position I would pretty much just tell them everything you ju

Thanks for the response! I'll look into them. Well, I am still looking around so no fixed ideas yet whether to use or not use whatever CF offers, but since in my experience CF is the one that stands up the most in whatever stuff I read

What competitors are there for CLoudFlare that you consider better than them? I am genuinely interested since I was thinking on signing up for their service, but I would love to research some alternatives first.

I guess he's referring to Intellectual Property, so the code probably.

Not really. I was already enrolled and it didn't work, so not sure what happened.

Well... I guess it's too late... they probably noticed already because I can't download any more courses :(

Yes, it was tautological on purpose. Maybe I failed to communicate what I wanted, but basically I was trying to say that I've seen most people equate luck to something akin to a deity's intervention, i.e. luck is something that an

Yeah, I definitely agree on the first and the third, but I'm not so sure about the second. Even though they might be unsupported or unusable that doesn't mean that the legal team would be happy to ignore them. Sometimes (most time

How come they can distribute binaries of an OS that belongs to a company? I mean, even though it is a failed project, it still may have valuable stuff, patents, etc. So how come they are able to distribute without issues? are they going to

I guess I'm on a similar camp. For some reason the idea that I would be posting my day to day seems to me very "un-private" for a person like me that doesn't want to voluntarily broadcast my every waking second. I use Fa

For those interested I found this book quite good: "Linux 3-D Graphics Programming" [1] That explains how to build a 3d engine almost from scratch and it does explain 2D math (cross product, etc) and also 3D stuff of course (matri

This is extremely cool, however the source code does look a little different than the output (the output only has '#' chars, but the source has letters and other chars besides #). Does that still count as a quine? (don't real

Do you guys fear that if big banks start to feel threatened, they will start lobbying to keep the field uneven to their favor? Leaves me wondering how much inroad is possible to make going against such big (and dirty-playing) actors. I mean

Could you elaborate a bit on what kind of commercial systems you used this for? and what was the role of Inferno in it? I've been really interested in playing with it since my college years, but every time I got to poke around I felt l
