I'd never heard of them before. I wonder if they keep the old scans and resell duplicate books. They could make a bunch of extra money on half.com or similar. Depending on how they're scanning the books it'd also save time. Then again, it c

This was a great post. Just a little nitpick. I think this line near the bottom: var something = maybe(doesntCheckForSomething(value)); Should actually be: var something = maybe(doesntCheckForSomething)(value); If I'm wrong then I likely mi

I don't think he's saying it's ok . He's saying that in spite of Apple being unethical the present condition is an inevitability. We can try to shame Apple into doing the right thing but it won't fix the real problem.

You could also have some anonymous understanding of B. This reminds me of Richard Feynman's story about his dad and the bird.

Well that's nearly impossible when a tap is a zero length swipe.

Here is some relevant discussion: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/2003 Also, codata doesn't solve everything. You still can't filter infinite data. Filtering with \x -> x > 0 won't terminate for all infinite lists of numbers s

It's plain HTML5. That scrolling behavior isn't a freebie. The scroll bar you see is actually for an empty div. There's an attached scroll event handler that they're likely using to run the animation.

I think Twitter is using Clojure now that they've acquired BackType.

I've felt like that at times but I think it's important to be unbiased. We're not the only people who give a shit.

If the unique id didn't work out you could charge per post instead. Spammers would post more than other users. Extra accounts or not. Is there any way to make payments like this easy?

I'm in Oregon and Wyden came up for me but hes already a SOPA/PIPA opponent. Shouldn't he (and the others) be omitted to direct traffic to where its needed?

I'm not trying to have an attitude. I said it once but I'll say it again: You're reading too much into whats being said. I like your analogy. It perfectly exemplifies what I'm trying to say. Can I not use their services and be careful whi

"Their products are deliberately engineered to make it painful to seek affordable alternatives when you need new parts." Some of apples products have RAM directly soldered to the motherboard. This has legitimate engineering trade-offs. Of t

In all seriousness. What does "open" even mean? I've noticed that no one is saying "open source". Not that I know what that really means either. Android isn't developed in the open they just release the source code. That's the only real dif

Dangerous: "Able or likely to cause harm or injury" [1] Google is exactly that. I think you're reading too much into whats being said. Are you suggesting we shouldn't keep a watchful eye on Google? They have a tremendous amount of power. 1:

Can you give any examples of this? You may be over-generalizing. Most of their products don't even have replaceable parts. Are you sure their reasons aren't legitimate?

I love Google but they're at least dangerous. The "bad" may come later.

It'd be cool to have a lisp that you could edit structurally with an iPad. Structural editing is a foreign thing when done on a keyboard. But it's 1:1 on an iPad. I know that's not visual in the way you meant. I just think it'd be easier to

HA. Error correcting codes? You realize that means the person thinking in bits would have to do that themselves . A 7-bit parity would be harder to do than just dialing the damn thing. Even then all it'd be able to do is tell you that you

Dude you are awesome. I used to think splats and destructuring were what made CoffeeScript more than just pretty Javascript. But this new stuff is doing even more substantive work on our behalves. Thank you.

Lets break it down. mseebach: "You're writing that as if SOPA was one side of an argument where good people could reasonably be on either one side or the other, and HN and Google just happens to be on the same. But it's not, SOPA has a righ

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. People get stupid when they're this opposed to something. His argument had absolutely no value and your characterization of it was spot on.

You're refuting a point he didn't make. He never wished anything away. He wished that a different means to an end was more common. Then those organizations (riaa/mpaa) will have to be useful or die.

I remember going back and forth with you about that escher illusion a guy built in his garage. Just an example of what I'm talking about and why I think it's cool. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2233584

"1. Avoid long back and forth threads. Say what you have to say and get back to work." If everyone followed all those rules I think this one would be detrimental. Seeing you smarter-than-me people go back and forth about stuff I'm right on

On reflection I think I may have been trolling. Personally, I prefer lower case with dashes interposing distinct words. I've rarely gotten to use that in practice but haven't cared much. I didn't realize people got so upset about things lik

Right but if I have to make up a different one for every site then I'm still stuck using the super-secret text file.
