Before anyone starts using this as a Redis replacement on Windows as the readme suggests, take a look at the TODO file. Notable missing features include: - maxmemory key eviction - hash values - ~2/3 of the set operators - multi/

Minor correction: The green cabs ("boro taxis") can be either called or hailed, but in either case can only make pickups in the outer boroughs (and the very northern end of Manhattan).

I think you're misunderstanding - they went after someone who didn't even attempt the described project, and showed no intent of ever doing so. There's a big difference between an outright scam and someone trying but not rea

Good credit doesn't mean no risk of defaulting; it means less risk. Fewer of the people with good credit defaulted than of those with bad, which is the only thing a credit rating really claims. Credit rating is explicitly intended to

Interesting. How smart are they about this? My HN flow involves always voting from the comments page, even though I got there from the front page or /newest. Does that mean I'm triggering the penalty?

That depends on how you're defining better. The slow one is somewhat more readable, and since your test runs a million times farther than the 100 that FizzBuzz usually asks for, you're looking at a gain of .6 μs. That's an

The problem with that is there are tax implications to giving someone a chunk of a company (it's technically income), even if it is completely illiquid. Tax implications the employee probably can't afford much better than a buy-i

Honestly, the "Why didn't you have an emergency fund?" are probably from people who feel the need to justify their lifestyle. I get it. It feels shitty to see this person owning a house and a sports car while younger than m

It uses a lot of uncommon words (and at least some proper nouns - small cities and such), but I have yet to see something that's not a word. Also, it gets better once you get through calibrating a few letters. There just aren't

Civil forfeiture isn't "soft language", it's a precise legal term. You may not agree with the principle (I certainly don't), but calling it theft is no different from a libertarian doing the same with taxation.

It is acceptable for a client to retry a request that failed if it is a GET. This could happen if the server got your request but the response got lost, in which case you can't count on the deck having the right number of cards.

`Either a` is a functor, not Either. I agree with the rest of your point, though. Maybe might be a better example - similar in spirit to Either, but without requiring an application to get a functor.
