I'm colorblind; I don't; and I haven't even looked into it. I have a lot of little heuristics I learned in the real world to help cope with not being able to distinguish certain colors. If they're not good enough, I can

Disclaimer: I'm colorblind. There are SO MANY designs that use indistinguishable colors for no good reason at all. It's perverse that League of Legends uses blue and purple as its team colors—literally anything else (blue and red

I'll never forget when a startup tried to poach me to be Employee #2 or 3 and refused to even match my previous salary and suggested that I really wasn't taking their equity (.15%, I think?) seriously enough. I told them that if

I TAed every semester of college except my first, and went to a small liberal arts school where cheating was legitimately uncommon. However, I'll never forget the following exchange: Student: Why did you give me a 9/10 on the sort

I support reclining, but almost had the screen of my Thinkpad mangled when someone reclined and the tray table hook caught the top of my screen and started forcing it downwards in a way it shouldn't go. I was fast enough to scoop the l

Vanilla forms just GET or POST to some server endpoint with all of the <input>s passed in as query parameters. Frameworks (e.g., Rails) put some syntactic sugar on it, but that's really all that's happening. If the form subm

Since everyone's talking about the double-blind study again and as one of the (probably) few people on HN who's seriously played a Strad, I feel obligated to link to my previous comment on the matter: https://news.ycomb

This doesn't contradict Trinitarian theology, by the way—Jesus and God being one falls into "three in one and one in three". It's perhaps also worth noting that trinitarianism is so fundamental to mainstream orthodox Chr

How useful would that really be? PCL has Peter's take on Lisp, and the Joy of Clojure occupies a similar niche if you just want to learn specifically-Clojure. At one point he mentioned writing a book to the effect of Statistics for Pro

Clojure's immutable types mean just that—the values are immutable (e.g., in CL you could do (defvar x 42) (setf x 84), but in Clojure the equivalent is not allowed). But there are many more side effects than changing variables. Clo

Not the GP, but for quick things I prefer CL because: * TIMTOWTDI. Doing everything with map/reduce/filter is great, but sometimes it's more direct to just use the LOOP macro. Immutability is great, but sometimes it's w
