This is blowing my mind, I had no idea it was as good as it was. I always remembering it being slow, empty, and just not really usable. This is incredible work and I'm sorry that I held such a negative opinion of it for so long!

Learning functional programming will add value to any programming language that you use as you'll have more strings to your bow, so to speak. You may not get a job writing Clojure, but you'll be able to bring the concepts you lear

Honestly, I really like it. It's minimalist but has all of the information that I require. Big fan of the example section. Love the product, too. Think you're onto a winner. Is there a path to monetisation with this or is it just

The term you're looking for is "dual-sim phone". That'll give you a jumping off point to look for a phone that suits your needs with regards to pricing and specs. But yes, works like you're describing.

Sure, I guess. However, the market will not die due to my lack of participation. It would be amazing if we lived in a world where morality would win out but we don't. My concern is "how do I help the most amount of people?",

No, not pump and dumps. Just stocks that a large amount of people are about to buy into. A pump and dump is a coordinated effort, whereas I'm looking for something more organic. It might be late in that you might make less money than y

Good question! It's a manual process of discovery. As in, I actually go out and hunt down groups talking about stocks and if it looks interesting, I'll add it into the algorithm. I'll then analyse the data over a period of a

I can understand the criticism that it's not adding value to the world. However, the same could be said of the stock market in general. If they shut that down, I'll happily close Feetr. In the meantime, someone will be making mone

This is my favourite take. Seeing the arrests in Edinburgh this past week has been heart wrenching. It's just... I thought we were better than that?

Hey sorry, it running poorly is the only way I wont get addicted to this. Is there any chance you could edit your comment and lie for me?

Quite a fun little game! Although it did make me seem like a really cheap whore because I was constantly undercutting the average amount. If anyone wants to pay someone to be stung by 10 jellyfish, email me to save $42k.

I've given up on it dying. It's too entrenched. It does what it needs to in a way that isn't awful for the end user, and the barrier of entry is so low that developers are cheap and plentiful. And it's old enough that th

You can tell how outdated that quote is and it's a shame because so much has changed. You don't need to submit anything any more, they can steal everything they want behind your back.

It certainly is to me. I like knowing that I can run code as long as I want, and not as long as their packagers allow. You can always compile old versions of ruby, python, etc yourself but let's be honest, it's a ball ache. And it
