They add new features constantly. I'd be surprised if there was a single week with no new features being developed. Most of the work is server side, e.g. voting ring detection. We only notice indirectly, when the quality of the site go

For any given website, if you can log in and chat with an employee, the conversation is logged. This is normal. If you call a corporation and chat with them, the conversation is recorded and used for quality purposes. This is normal. If you

The coach. He shared what little rations they had, and his condition was visibly worse than the children by the time they were found. He also helped them by teaching them meditation, so as not to focus on their hunger.

Can anyone explain how the heck they found the children in the first place? Seriously, I can't wrap my head around it. The kids were stranded 2.5 miles inside the cave. All anyone knew was that the kids didn't return form their

Why does that sound horrible? That's how the world works. I suppose it is horrible, but it's a very common situation.

It's a deeper reason than that. Humans are hardwired to start with short symbols. Picture a group of humans who evolve a new language. That language will likely start with short sounds, and then progressively build up to longer sounds.

...An interesting question, but I'm leaning towards "yes." 1. Our immune systems are pretty good. Much better than is generally appreciated. 2. People usually buy lemonade from lemonade stands to support the kids, not for the

That's entirely unrelated though. Just because someone dislikes the left doesn't automatically make them more or less likely to dislike gay people. That's an unfortunate association with the republican right, which tends to b

If you have anything to back this up, that would be worth sharing. But I don't think it's fair to say that factually without some pretty strong evidence.

Can you expand on some of the problems? I was going to write an inliner for a Lisp I was working on for a couple years. Emacs seems to have a decent one. But I know there are tricky corner cases.

A frantic commit free for all isn't necessarily better. I count nine different developers committing to the project's master branch in a single day. That has tradeoffs too.

In the early days of a software project, the most likely people to use it are business programmers: front line devs who have no say in corporate policy. Typically, they want to use your code to save their own time. The code rarely does exac

Again: So? I think people focus too much on the "VCs are getting rich" part while overlooking "the world is creating thousands of things that wouldn't otherwise exist" part. If you imagine what the world would be li

Well, the point is, Vitalik can't do that. The community would have to agree with him. If the situation were sufficiently dire, then presumably it would be easy to get community support. But the opposite is true too.

Not quite. The ecosystem was much smaller back then. Nowadays, I'm not sure one company would be able to make a case for forking the currency. Besides, you can still buy ETH classic, if you disagree with the decision. It's just no

It's interesting how similar that is to the type of optimizations gamedevs do today. E.g. sub out "floppy disk sector" for GPU memory and crank up the numbers a few orders of magnitude.
