He/she is referring to that this fake Harlem shake from youtube has nothing to do with the real Harlem shake, a dance that's been around for 30 years. Also, the term "trap music" for that electronic music isn't the original trap music eithe

Why wouldn't git work? The vast majority of projects I use it for are ones I work on by myself. As far as vim, the only plugins I use are syntax ones and command T, which I could live without.

The difference between the popularity of Emacs, Vim, Git, Linux, and a programming language is that it doesn't matter if anyone else on the planet uses Vim Git, etc., they will work the same to me. But the difference in productivity from pr

You can think of no reason someone wouldn't want to have every waking moment of their life recorded?

anshargal, you're shadow banned. His comment is: "For several years (2001-2005) we've already had the situation when the single browser engine (Trident, MSIE) had the dominant share of 90% and more. Indeed, this was bad for the Web as a pla

If you like this, check out http://www.happstack.com/docs/crashcourse/AcidState.html . It allows for arbitrary Haskell data structures to safely and automatically be marshaled in and out of the data store.

Take a look at snap ( http://snapframework.com/ ) as well. I'm working on a small project with it, and I'm really enjoying the type system after getting over the initial hump. Also, it has great concurrency performance characteristics ( htt

It's possible(even likely) that what you typed is enough for a crawler to try that site.

Does the behavior change if you take out the even condition, or if you make the algorithm tail recursive?

Another important point is that the VAST majority of software is not pretty consumer iphone and Rails apps. Some of the products I've worked on have been ugly as sin, but no company truly cares about that vs. the value gained. Imagine two s

You still create FSM's in functional languages though. Consider: data Light = On | Off toggle :: Light -> Light toggle On = Off toggle Off = On So, the data structures represent the possible states, and the associated functions the tran

I strongly recommend you offer a demo without needing to sign up. I was intrigued enough to take a look, but not enough to go through a sign up process.

I think that's wrong philosphy to have. If I've built something (especially a 3 day project when I haven't invested too much time yet), I want all the criticism I can get. Comments like "that seems cool" are just noise. On the ohter hand, s

I worked on something similar to the MVP shown (not about jokes specifically, but a "gimic" dating site). The real problems have to do with gender imbalance, men shotgunning messages, and the fundamental issue with these gimic sites: attrac

I would be shocked if you've used a dating site before. Not to critize your product (the site looks pretty nice), but it's solving a problem that doesn't exist.

But if we Mark your words, how can we trust that you won't change them later? [Sorry for the bad joke. I myself hate seeing jokes on Hacker News, but I just couldn't resist.]

If anything, I'm surprised they allowed you to rent out your place without that verification in hand. There is enough possible legal/liability quandaries around the idea of AirBnB that is seems risky to sanction the rental of a place withou

"When you write 1111 = 4 you are sneakily using the length of the number on the page to encode the value. The length of the number on the page isn't supposed to matter. In base 10, 17 = 017 = 0017 = 00017." I couldn't find a rigorous defini

Can you expand a bit on what you meant by "...and that model can and will extend into the server."?

I think it makes more sense to go JS -> Erlang, because the valuable thing about JS is the language itself (and trying to achieve code sharing), while the valuable thing about Erlang is the vm/concurrency model/OTP.

by stuffihavemade 14y ago
I wonder how hard it would be to make JS compile to Erlang like Elixir. I think the big problem would be some kind of actor model in the browser with everything callback based. Other than that, they're both dynamically typed, functional (Er
