Last semester for a compiler course I was taking we had to implement a compiler for a subset of Go (called GoLite), with free reign over language choices. I chose to implement a compiler[0] using Haskell and LLVM, this article helped a _lot

Your stock market idea is interesting, however it wouldn't work well at all and would destroy the entire pro scene. If you check http://dotabuff.com/heroes/played you'll see the list of most played heroes and

Security by obscurity is perfectly fine when it's part of a layered approach. It will help keep attackers from learning the details of your architecture and will also stop skiddies in their tracks.

One of my issues is that this article discusses the Zumwalt's main failures as being too 'avant-garde' where it was a classic example of a jack of all trades, master of none. The whole ship was supposed to have swappable &#x2

This piece and the [EM Briefcase]( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8228755 ) made me realize how much IEEE Spectrum appears to be PR. Is this normal, are we being duped?

But the whole point is that this browser isn't meant for technical people. It's not meant for the kind of people that feel the need for a different `Downloads` folder.

It seems like DDG is positioning itself to become WolframAlpha for tech. Hopefully, this will allow it to better catch the exact market segment that would be wary of search engine tracking (educated tech-savvy people).

While it may be too expensive to have it made entirely by a craftsman the US, if you're up to the challenge you can join a woodworking shop and learn how to build it. It will certainly take more time but you will get a more complete ex

I heard a saying at work: "Python is the second best language for anything." Scientific computing is a perfect example. By being close to the best, Python ends up taking over each sub-section of the SC world.

Hey jmbmxer, we're currently in talks with sustainableharvest to get access to all of their images and videos about their farms. We built this on a bus from Seattle to San Antonio so we haven't had enough resources to fully flesh

So far we've gotten a lot of positive responses from importers in the north east (Seattle, Portland). We've also talked to micro roasteries both physically and on the phone, and a lot of would be interested in a system to make the

So we are collaborating with both warehouses and importers to allow the warehouse employees to package orders that need beans from multiple importers. The reason it hasn't been done before is because there didn't exist a single pl

The difference is that we don't actually hold any product. We allows importers to list their beans and warehouses on the sit e and provide a standard view for them. Though I agree that there is too little discussion about the beans, th

As the author said "counter-intelligence". It allows Kim to post pictures of him visiting a factory in one city when he is really at a completely different one. The less any one knows with certitude about him the safer he is.

The problem is expectations. When I pull up my map application, I want to find a position on it, usually navigate to it, and do so quickly. Having to navigate menus containing way too many unnecessary options slows me down and discourages m
