IIRC, `process._debugProcess` just sends a SIGUSR1 to the provided PID.

I can't think of any time a double-comma would be syntactically correct. Double-semicolons, which may be what you're referring to, are never required (although in some situations they will cause syntax errors to appear closer to

Parent is specifically talking about full time positions. No one is concerned about short stints that are clearly internships. That's just how they work.

There is no "OCaml middle end". Reason is parsed into the same AST as OCaml, and then passed through the rest of the OCaml compiler.

Unless you know more than us about their deficit, we can't really say how big this was. If they were spending 101% of revenues, for example, 35% off their deficit _is_ a blip.

I don't really understand how a blockchain allows participation to be permissionless (how do you know what's written there corresponds to reality?) so maybe that's where the magic is, but every other point has been solved for

But the problem is that you can't know the list you need at embed time for hg, because extensions are arbitrary python files discovered at runtime.

Trello shared an office with Fog Creek until last December or so, so no surprise that they're similar. I suspect Trello retained the offices layout since Fog Creek was the one that moved out.

For one thing, it claims to eliminate the speed arms race by setting a sufficiently long gap between auctions, but depends on a bizarre assumption that there are 2 speeds at which information can get to the market, each at a particular cost

That pretty clearly wouldn't work. A necessary (but not sufficient) condition for breaking a trade typically involves language like "clearly erroneous". Selling an option that is trading in the $100s for $1 (the case here)

The claim made by that article isn't nearly as strong as what you're saying it claims. Two-user encryption obviously can be made secure. But when one of the keys that can decrypt something is shared by every message using that pro

It can be done from the command-line ( https://www.janestreet.com/tech-talks/code-review/); many people just find the Emacs integration nicer. But there are plenty of vim users who use the command-line instead.

In two comments here you've called USD unstable and Bitcoin stable. Can you explain what stability of a currency means to you? Because it appears to be very different from how the rest of us define it.

As Haskell shows, typeclasses are not ruled out by type inference. There is a reason they can't be added to OCaml, though, and it is functors. OCaml's functors are fundamentally incompatible with typeclasses. I think one of the

I think OCaml fits your description. ReasonML is an alternative syntax, and it is in fact implemented as simply a parser that generates the same AST as the OCaml parser, plugged into the rest of the OCaml compiler. This is particularly easy

It's certainly rare, but my employer is aggressive about keeping compensation appropriate. Top performing new hires can see their comp double in 2-3 years.

Keep inflation in mind. I don't know how old you are, but that's probably going to be more like $3k/month in inflation-adjusted dollars, which honestly isn't much more than my employer pays to cover my family now.

As described in the SEC letter at GP's link, all of the ICOs I've seen clearly categorize as securities, and none of them seem to be registered. Selling unregistered securities to the general public is securities fraud. Although

Here's a couple: Monads are so pervasive that multiple languages have determined that they deserve special syntax (see: Haskell's do-notation, OCaml's let-syntax). Those syntaxes play nicely with a ton of seemingly-different

I don't think I understand your argument. What would change such that immediate bankruptcy filing after graduation would no longer be the obviously correct move? A degree would have to be astoundingly cheap for this to not work out -

We wouldn't have to call it an Initial Public Offering if companies never sold shares in subsequent Public Offerings. Most trades don't have the company in question on the selling side, but some do, even after the IPO.
