I don’t get it, couldn’t you just put your money in some very low risk money market fund instead of keeping the cash in a bank?

But it won’t end there. Eventually people won’t care much for clarity and precision, that’s boring. The real problem is that everything that can be photographed will eventually have been photographed in all kinds of ways. What people reall

Not that easy. If they buy it all up that only cements the value at their entry point.

For a 10x engineer, heads down coding is the best state you can get them into. If you suspect someone is a 10x engineer, throw them your hardest, seemingly impossible problems, where they can stretch their legs and spend long periods of tim

The exemption should still be allowed, as it led to great banking innovations for startups. The exemptees just need to be fucking careful with this advanced mode of operation.

Social networks are like cigarettes. If everyone is smoking everywhere you’re still affected even if you decide you won’t smoke.

They were not a mistake, people just need to grok them better. You need to embrace functional purity.

Agreed. Top comment is a joke… Despite the optimism, I expect the actual number of jobs to fall short of expectations.

You tend to get these kind of emergent behaviors easily when you design a game around entity component systems.

People don’t really realize the level of distortion an iPhone camera adds to an image, forget trying to take accurate photos of anything.

You’ll realize gear matters when you stop taking shitty iPhone photos of everything and use a proper camera with actual focal lengths.

We can certainly do more to help paralyzed people be functional members of society. Just because you are paralyzed doesn’t mean you have to be worthless. With advanced interfaces and equipment for instance, a paralyzed person could control

It’s a feature. Europe of all places can tolerate a society of minimal private car ownership.

4. The institutional knowledge is not gone, in the event of any massive catastrophe employees who previously worked at Twitter can return as “consultants” and charge very high rates to fix issues as they occur. It’s pay as you go.

The op wrote an article about how he shot himself in the foot and got taken advantage of by a shitty host. He should have put his name down as one of the guests. When the host saw his name wasn’t listed, he got him to incriminate himself an

Putting it in a TOS is one thing, how is it enforced ? Also, it’s trivial to book a room at a hotel and have someone else check in under the reservation as long as you put them on the guest list. I’ve done it before. Not sure how this is f

Am I missing something? Why didn’t the author just say yes he was staying as well? In fact he was going to be there at check in, just not sleeping there. Do you really think they’ll check the bed to see if you’re in it every night? The host

If it is a true pure function that has already been proven and tested to be correct, you only need to be concerned with the output. The function itself will never have side effects you need to understand nor will it ever change.

by xwdv 4y ago
You tell me. Seems like most functions can be eliminated and just replaced by comprehensions or a series of map, reduce, filters, sort, comparisons, etc, with small operations applied per element.

Names are mostly for humans. In functions with limited scopes there should be no need for names beyond single letters. Even functions don’t need names once they are small and pure enough. Alas, we still cling to names.

It’s worse than taking life advice from another common kind of source: a victim. Victims are the worst, they become wholly engulfed by their personal tragedy and shape their world view and strategy for life around it, producing a twisted, p

I wish you could come across the graves or dead bodies of other players where they died and perhaps loot items or something.

I think you overstate the problem here. Chances are, unless you’ve addressed other more pertinent issues, simply using ECC memory isn’t going to stop systems from crashing in the middle of the night.
