>> Readability is mostly a matter of experience. "It is totaly bogus claim." A single example of Perl, Brainfuck or Ocaml can prove that you are wrong. "The only people that can't read their own Perl after 6 months

Oh. Ocaml again. Well, I'll chirp on the opposite side of discusion. The syntax is completely <->:%^&#$^ $% %^&*% up. Unreadable. Yes, it maybe somewhat pleasant to write code in such syntax, but readability sucks. Just l

Hmm. I'm considering a start-up that would make special EMF field interacting hammers that could be used to reset large scale neuro-networks. Could thing, is that I think these hammers could actually be used on both, biological and si

I don't think you can have both - super-happy and super-smart. But otherwise, yes. I see no problems with you creating super-smart children that will be able to wipe out all the stupid ones. Who knows, maybe this is the only way to sa

> Examples: 4cm by 2cm, red PCB: $12 for 10 copies - This should go on the front page. Funny. It would be a thing that would discourage me from using your site. Lack of graphic and flashy ads actually is very pleasant to the eye.

I would very much agree. Tribalism should stand alongside the greatest achievements of humanity, like Religion, the discovery of War or "the invention of negroes, or, of the present mode of using them" .

Well, let's hope they will go broke wasting money into the AI research black hole before being able to actually build one :) Otherwise, you are correct. A successful built of super intelligent AI is probably an extinction event for th

Ocaml 3.12.1; Ubuntu 13.10. X server is available, Desktop is MATE 1.6.0, OpenGL also seems to work (glxgears works).

Seriously. You are so biased that it is easier for you to believe that other people are downright lying than to accept inconvenient truth. I was running it in the interpreted mode. Isn't that how one is supposed to run tutorials code?

The trouble with Ocaml is that you will probably get something like: $ ocaml o.ml File "o.ml", line 2, characters 0-13: Error: Unbound module Graphics And after you've googled for a while and had done: sudo a

I don't know. Maybe I'm very wrong here. But I think there is a correlation between 'fighting for scraps' behaviour and 'recent immigrant'. I do not have statistics to confirm that.

A bit of advice. Do check that you are not doing an internship with immature first time CEOs/CTOs. I've seen an intern lied to, abused and dismissed without recommendation letter and promised salary by a CEO/primary founder

Type-safe format strings should never be mixed with plain strings, constant strings, byte strings, unicode strings, batteries strings, byte array strings, char array strings, string buffers or any other type of string supported by ocaml.

For what it is worth, I have anecdotal evidence that thinking in a foreign language in fact does somewhat inhibit emotional and experiential (common sense) subsystems. So beware.

by throwaway7808 13y ago
Still, I would advice not to disregard this study completely and at least be careful about making decisions when using a foreign language. It well might be true that the emotional and other subsystems are somewhat inhibited when thinking in

The thing about YC, is that it is the 'Steve Jobs way', the way of brilliant showmanship. But also the way of blatant lies and distortions fields. It is not the 'Wozniak Way'. (I'm also a YC dropout.)

Nope. Think British selling opium in India, ethical? And notably, selling a variety of addictive dopamine stimulants [including cocaine and methamphetamine] other than games is considered to be unethical.

I don't think that employee unions are helpful in the long term. I'd rather see individuals exercising some common sense and making good informed decisions. Like instantly recognizing bullies and not working for (with) them. Quit

Only the life is unfair and the distribution of power is completely asymmetric here. You may actually need a positive reference about you and the company usually don't care what you say. You also don't have any way to verify and p
