In Haskell, you can represent a state machine and its current state using an iteratee: http://www.yesodweb.com/blog/2010/09/enumerators-tutorial-pa... An iteratee is essentially just a function that takes an input symbol and returns eithe

That may be better milk, but I doubt it's as affordable as this could be.

Babies drink human milk, which is typically harder to come by than cow milk.

These "freelancer" heuristics are dubious. Despite that fact that 100% of my income last year is printed on one 1099 or another, I satisfy less than half of them. A year ago, I satisfied zero of them. I use an @gmail.com address because I d

I'm not sure how you're getting "object-oriented programming" from this article, except that it was mentioned in passing as an example of a paradigm that belatedly entered mainstream software engineering. OOP is orthogonal to the comparison

Makes sense to me. Do the Lua scripts get lower-level access to the data structures, too? E.g., could I write a variable-argument-list LINSERT that inserts M items in O(M+N) time rather than O(M*N)?

By saving bandwidth, do you mean saving network bandwidth between a Redis server and a client on another machine? In that case, another solution would be for the user to write her own daemon (in a language of her choosing) that sits on the

What data are you referring to, specifically? Anyone can lurk HN threads or crawl user profiles for karma data.

You should also make your sites amenable to password managers that autofill and submit login forms. Bank of America, for example, foils 1Password by spreading login across two forms and using a custom, non-machine-discoverable "submit" butt

With a few exceptions, pointers returned by methods in Objective-C are assumed to be autoreleased. That means their reference count will be decremented at the end of the event loop. But if OP is expecting a lifetime of learning, he might wa

I'd venture to claim that it is far more feasible to bring 100% of the world population internet access than to bring them health care at even US Medicaid standards.

GCC would give a warning if you tried to compile this, and Xcode 4 would highlight the offending line with a yellow bubble. appCode's behavior doesn't seem too inappropriate in this case.

And if competitors do adopt FB's infrastructure, they'll essentially be training their engineers to work at Facebook. They'd better have counteroffer packages ready.

For what it's worth, I think "Offer me a place at your startup" is better English, being more clear and less wordy that hajrice's alternative. Rare is the English speaker outside the US or UK who will award you points for speaking in a roun

I think it could even be appropriate for an analytically minded non-programmer. I'm going to try it on my sister, who is a mathematician.

This seems like the kind of armchair quarterbacking that would be proffered by someone experiencing the world exclusively through a Boing Boing RSS feed. We might as well ask, "Fukushima -- where are the 3D printers?" On the other hand, thi

You're correct; my Harvest use is only personal in the sense that I have a single-user account. However, I do pay for Netflix ($9/month) and TurboTax ($75/year) for non-business use. I used to pay for .Mac, as well.

I pay $12/month each for GitHub and Harvest, both for personal use.
