It sounds like this might be something you could ob https://egghead.io - it's specifically built for this purpose, and you have a team working to handle the stuff you don't want to do (marketing, customer service, etc.

I'm curious what the total energy storage would be, and what kind of destructive damage it could do. A million miles is a lot of miles to move a full Tesla, passengers, and luggage around. Anyone want to do a back-of-the-envelope s

Monadic let syntax would be a big win (allows for async/await-like constructs) in Bucklescript, and inline variant records have been nice once or twice (I see reason newcomers at dojos do this naturally almost every time shortly after

I believe emacs lisp's advice system is an AOP system in a highly dynamic language, and doesn't make much use of monkey-patching. Advice/AOP is a pattern that can fit (if you want it) in dynamic language as well.

It's not entirely surprising, but one might imagine a different approach: always allocate a 1% buffer for an unexpected GC. It's not a very satisfactory answer (and there are likely much better tradeoffs to be made), but given the

One example that's fun is being able to bring in the data to e.g. Excel - here's an example of a proof of concept we did to give an idea of what's possible with GraphQL https://youtu.be/IHPaDvXQWyA Building t

You're saying the firm retroactively invoiced the company for the lunch the investor had (and ostensibly paid for) with you?

I believe their entire credibility model is largely based on this, as per the TechCrunch founder himself at Startup School back in 2008 https://youtu.be/HbUnatPfSgg?t=238 (the whole talk is certainly a trip back in time!) I

I'd recommend keeping your first two sentences (which are interesting), and deleting the rest of the comment (which just continues an inflammatory line).

I originally thought this seemed unnecessary, but I'm using a variant of this already, and it's so much better. And I love that Reason's approach is extensible as well!

It seems your analysis isn't very generous. Your example would likely fail the litmus test laid out in the first paragraph on at least these points (at the very least): - a mission that attracts talented people into the startup’s orb

In fact, you can take it even further! tom7 (all of his pieces are amazing) put a raspberry pi into an NES cartridge, and manages to "run" Super Mario World on an NES. My short description really does it a disservice - I strongly

I keep coming back to this example as something beautiful, surprising, and so meta/recursive. Figuring out that you can edit the game's code and/or state by breaking out of the level and navigating to memory regions, and then

Replying to each submission is very impressive! Looks like last year you had ~24 speakers, so I assume you had ~100+ submissions. That's definitely dedication! Have you run into speakers responding negatively to your (constructive) fee

The image previews looks like it's very crips, looks great - and the multicolored emoji is a nice touch. It seems like this would have the same challenges as multi channel signed distance fields [0], where for unicode (e.g. Chinese c

Wow, I just googled for a youtube video of gameplay [0] and I'm genuinely at a loss at how they pulled off that 3d engine. The sound fidelity is still pretty high given the lack of dedicated sound hardware on the GBA, and somehow they

The nuances in this case went well beyond what I was expecting - it's actually more than just syntax, this heavily crosses over into semantics. It's been a very impressive process, and I was surprised at the power of the solutio

There's also a fantastic talk on this paper at the SF PapersWeLove meetup going over it https://youtu.be/-O0-HEZAwg8?t=1025 Really enjoyed this paper, the talk, and this technique. Quite clever!
