Yes. Exactly. The editorial mentions only agreement from Scientists.

> Pretending 'science' supports one political view or another is the sort of thing that got us in this mess in the first place. I agree. That's my point. The editorial mentions only Scientists who agree with Damore's

It seems disingenuous not to mention the many debunkings of the memo's Science by Scientists. For example: https://www.quora.com/What-do-scientists-think-about-the-bio...

I have no idea what everyone else's salary is (and I'm not going to share mine), but Square Atlanta pays, well, and -- more importantly -- we have an amazing team. And we're hiring. Get in touch if you're interested: my

Other games with interesting/different visual “looks” and custom 3D engines are Reset and The Witness.

From the video, it appears that they are dipping by 1cm, measuring volume, dipping by 1cm more, measuring volume, etc. So they end up, effectively, with a set of 1cm slices and the volume of each slice. For one orientation. Then they repeat

Ah, perfect. Thanks!

I expected they'd be either visually watching the changing contours of an opaque liquid, or somehow using refraction to get multiple visual angles of the same features, but… …they're repeatedly dipping it, and using the volume dis

Man, if he did that in 2011, and held onto it until now, he's made a killing! (Click “all” on http://www.coindesk.com/price/ )

That's a cute (albeit tired) quote. But it's not 50 anecdotes. It's an informal survey of 50 people.

No worries. Hyperion was ultimately a letdown (compared to its promise), so better than that is good!

by zellyn 9y ago
Interesting. It shows Hyperion in the "People also searched for" section in Amazon. I liked Hyperion: it showed such promise. It's tricky: if your writing feels mythical, you shouldn't resolve/reveal too much at the

Don't let her description of Void Star put you off. It's not literary, but it is fun scifi. Although I don't think it will ever be seminal, parts of its world-building compare favorably to Snow Crash, and the treatment of AIs

Can you recommend something of his to try? Go for best, not most palatable :-)

> The reality is that every modern statically typed language except Go has generics, and they all implemented them very well. The ML languages and Ada were already doing it in the 80s, and OCaml and Eiffel managed to combine generics and

It really just seems like you're saying "When I think my Go code is correct, it turns out it often isn't, but when I think my ${other_programming_language_i_know_better} code is correct, it turns out it usually is.

> Can you give an example? I guess I fail to understand why a statically typed language would choose to forgo all of the advantages generics provide. Does it have something to do with Goroutines? Like I said, the objections are practical
774.
by zellyn 9y ago
It's more than fine to be enthusiastic about programming languages. However, some of your points about Go are dubious. The reasons Go doesn't (yet) have generics are practical rather than philosophical. And well-documented. I also

This too is true in every programming language.

I love this. Then again I'm the kind of person who sits wondering, if you were running from an elevated sniper, trying to get to the treeline, would it be effective to change direction after 3 steps, 1 step, 4 steps, 1 step, 5 steps, 9

My summary: “Commits from casual or infrequent contributors are no more likely to break the build.” Not super exciting, unless you need ammunition when arguing against some kind of non-benevolent project dictator.

Don't bother reading the article: I read the whole thing, and there's no substance beside the title. The author asserts (without any facts) that Vanguard employees must be making a ton of money; otherwise they wouldn't work t
