I'd argue the other way: hobby code is a product of genuine enjoyment and is probably better than the paid alternatives created to earn money.

There's no way this is going to hold up in any kind of court. A 50-100$ fine might have flown under the radar, but 1000$ is enough incentive for taking this to a small claims court.

The suggested food pyramid suggests mostly grains and carbs, which spike insulin and trigger the satiety response. It's much easier to eat two thousand calories of protein and fat, than two thousand calories if carbs. Also fat is more

Typing on an ipad will makes this easier I hope. Having correct punctuation and stuff takes quite a long while using the virtual keyboards. Maybe this writing app is not for fast, lighting-speed thoughts; but for seeing how bottlenecking yo

As a Glen Weyl-esque solution, make an owner of x domains pay x dollars for each domain they own. This way personal users get cheap domains, and we extract quite a lot of money from squatters.

If you think this is needlessly complex, just wait until you see what the betting mechanism of an agent looks like in a 'simple' auction. With strategy-proof mechanisms you just bet with what you know instead of predicting others&

Philosophically yes, but realistically not. If I can borrow 10$ to earn an extra dollar, why would I object to paying a 0.5$ interest?

Here is the trend data where google autocompletes two results while not autocompleting other two. The trend data groups the results pretty clearly, however the autocomplete engine does not agree. If the trend data is not being used for the

Honestly, adding legislature into code is a losing game. Let the developer just deliver a flowchart engine so that even unpaid interns can get to modify the logic. In my opinion, a whole part of being a productive developer is about empower

An idea: In a trail path, it makes little sense to have "corners" along the curves. Constraining the naturally-occuring (as in naked ground vs grass) borders to be differentiable might help them blend in in the environment.

_.map is basically syntatic sugar for p => p.map, only written with today's javascript capabilities. I just tried to implement the proposed #. Dynamic access to methods doesn't yield very nice type signatures.

That example is wrapped perfectly, so it seems a bit unneeded. A more complex example would be // helper for method calls in pipes const _ = new Proxy({}, {get(_i, c) { return (...args) => e => e[c](...args)}})

I feel Proxies could be a cleaner way to handle default cases in using object literals to replace switches: const cases = new Proxy({...cases}, { get: (obj, val) => obj[val] || () => {...default case} }); It does no

A better option (for me, who likes fp) would be writing a group_by reducer once and apply it to any situation at hand group_by = f => (acc, item) => ({...acc, [f(item)]: [...(acc[f(item)] || []), item]}); const {true: truth

People feel cheated when you request them to wait, but they can get better outcomes by redialing. It violates the trust between the call center and the dialer. Leaving people to wait forever is a bad, bad, bad move. Alternative scenario: So

All those correlations, but not a single regression? Each of those correlation measures are poisoned with the biases introduced by the correlation of other variables :(

by ulucs 7y ago
After a while people would grow wise of this tactic and start redialing after waiting for some time. We could build a whole lot of efficient and beautiful systems, if only not for the people...

Learning a language that is almost completely useless for your company is still useful for you. It adds to your skill set, increases your market value and keeps you learning. Only learning corporate-approved languages is a bit shortsighted.

> We can’t grab a coffee with a random investor tomorrow. We don’t meet as many driven people who are interested in tech. We can’t go to fancy networking events. In Bodrum, that's correct. That's where people go for vacations.

>When they first launched, they gave away about 4GB of 4G data per day for free for the first year to all new subscribers. That looks like an antitrust lawsuit waiting to happen. Or is Jio going to keep at it forever?

Also copy-pasted 3d models from previous games, flying iron snakes and floating seagulls. And they didn't even bother copy-pasting all of the models from the previous games so people are really in the mood for nitpicking.

Honestly, talk is cheap. If they do hire people with programming tests and keeping the performance metrics of the people they hire (as most companies do), they could have just published how test performance predicts actual job skills. Until
