I think that's exactly what it means in this case also - the period of rotation on its own axis is exactly matching the period of revolution of its center of mass around the Earth. So that's why the same it is always presenting t

Trying to figure out what exponentially means there. "Much"? Or is something varying that I'm missing?

On the contrary , to me it's good to see a relaxed p-value cutoff being reported, as opposed to self censorship for being barely on the wrong side of the completely arbitrary 5% cutoff. Occuring in the 8% tail is still unlikely to occ

I think parent is pointing out that there could be a problem of "mutliple testing" in the statistics used. If you do enough tests for statistical significance, and do not correct for multiple testing, then some fraction (your cut

JVM is impressive until closures are involved, in which case when inlining is not done (either because it cannot be or ever-changing heuristics are not met), you can drop back to virtual calls and performance suffers a great deal. Compare t

Parent poster didn't imply that the replacement would be garbage collected, just memory safe, which is a pretty big difference. I think you will see it sooner than you may think, it seems the tide may be turning.

It's because the more advanced features that it has over Haskell in type-level computation make its type inference undecidable. http://impredicative.com/ur/tutorial/tlc.html

I think List plays a much more integral role in Haskell than it would in a strict language like this. In Haskell, list is irreplaceable because it can correspond to a value and a thunk for the rest of a result stream, so it's a very s

I can't imagine wanting a "gui" for either git or "database". I'm happy with the git command line, where I know what I'm doing and the details of which you must know anyway, as many learn the hard way. S

I don't think their Markdown flavor supports any Latex extensions, that would be a good start, IMO.

Sure it's not, but the existence of a spec to guide (arguably) licensees of Unix to have greater compatibility with each other will not necessarily protect non-licensees. (That the spec doesn't address this case is neither here

If Oracle wins, is Linux the next target, as an api-compatible re-implementation of Unix?

I think you got it right. According to Grzegorz Kossakowski's comment (which is more accurate than the misleading article) : http://www.takipiblog.com/2014/01/16/compiling-lambda-expres... , Java 8&

This may be getting pedantic, but the relationship is affine not linear - linear would mean k times the original input would yield k times the original output.

Very impressive. Especially the native regexs which will fail at compile time if they are invalid and which compile to a custom matcher machine (without having to express them in nasty template syntax). Rust has more macro-chops than I su

I've noticed especially with newer tech is that recruiters will scour github for technologies, maybe examine the code a bit, and then write or call the developer directly. I've had that done to me and I have exactly 0 entries at

Glad to hear faster is a priority. Hopefully faster for loops will make it in.

I actually like "let" to introduce variables, it's what I scratch on paper when doing psuedo-code since before I met Rust or any other functional language. To omit it (or something like it, e.g. "var" or "va

Yeah this is a great effort that will have a really big upside for developers like me using Play! framework. It means I can define my transfer types in Scala and share them between client and server in a typesafe way. Currently that takes

That's a neat feature! So my aside about single dispatch was misplaced. What I'm really after though is somewhat the opposite, which is static dispatch so that the functions called are known at compile time and can be optimized

This is great news (thank you for doing it)! Especially that it doesn't require changes within the CLR which seems to be a death sentence for proposals. I've been teetering with trying F#, and a proper ML-like module system may t

I wasn't aware that you could do double dispatch without encoding it yourself with something like the visitor pattern, is that what you meant?

Yet the CLR model is apparently not flexible enough to implement type classes, which Scala can handle in a very flexible way. Here's Microsoft's rejection claiming that the current CLR can't practically support type classes:
