In your example, X is still in scope when f('x') is called. It doesn't require closure to work.

Well $8 for a chip is extremely expensive. I bet a vast majority of keyboards on the market sell in bulk for less than $8.

> even though no useful economic activity is taking place Saving is a useful economic activity. Why should I let some filthy money lender touch my money? It's my money!

Living paycheck to paycheck is not the converse of saving. When I save money, I invest it in productive enterprise. Thus, I have less in my checking account. You could even consider (gasp) that I'm living pay check to pay check!

I can't hear you over the sound of your filthy and oppressive fiat currency rattling in your pockets.

All those features are hogshit, completely irrelevant, and extremely complicated and difficult to achieve. I have never once watched a movie and said "I didn't like that movie. Let me watch it again with taller actors and more rou

Software freedom is the ability to do whatever you want with the code, for example, compiling it. I'm not saying there's any sort of license violation here, but it's not in the spirit of software freedom to "not supposed

You're right, all solid savings plans must fit comfortably beneath a mattress. Reminds me of the old saying "If I can't lie down and sleep on top of it comfortably, it's not an investment"

Hang on I almost read that as meaning bitcoin has less financial capability as fiat currency, which we all know is patently false because the premise of bitcoin is centered around an increased flexibility compared with fiat currency.

If you can completely obliterate your margin like that just to make a single sale, I suspect prices are too high and you'd end up doing better by just offering the product at $400.

I sincerely hope names like this become widespread if they accurately describe the job. Very helpful to have a bright red "KEEP OUT" sign.

I've always been told by labview advocates that "you can of course pull up a text editor and write code." The language and API is certainly a different matter, being a second class citizen and presumably an afterthought.

Repost, don't know the original author: I agree, I can't keep up, I just finished learning backbone.js and now I've found out on HN that it's old news, and I should use ember.js, cross that, it has opinions, I should use

Never ran into any problems with vanilla zsh on Arch, Debian, or OSX -- just pacman -Ss zsh || apt-get install zsh || brew install zsh. What kind of problems did you run into?

Not sure I understand the semantics. I'm passed what looks like a continuation, but instead of calling it, I yield it? What other values can I yield, and why would I want to? Alternatively, couldn't the `next` object just be a pla

Couldn't agree more. I've seen a few "job applications" that are more like marriage proposals, and its sickening. Hey actually that gives me a great idea: maybe I should spend 100 hours preparing a marriage proposal for

Here's how that would look in the instruction set we use here ($100M commercial product) ; ARM spells it ADD R0, R1, R2, LSL #8 ; We spell it CLX R0 ; 1 cycles ADX R1 ; 1 ADX R2

Anecdotally, I bought Dark Souls not knowing it required a Microsoft game profile to save your game at all -- no local saves whatever. I wrote a (really bitchy) email to Steam and was promptly offered some sort of "special circumstance

Not the same at all! We're talking about Notch's process. I don't think there's any disagreement about his product being top notch (sorry). The product of BS is well, BS, and her process be damned.

Look I know that much of HN has a libertarian and pro-corporation bias. But, I think the article is pretty specific about the profit motive being cause for concern. The California Board of Health reports, however indirectly, to the taxpayer

Good luck. Making hardware in general, and silicon specifically, is a clusterfuck compared to the software world HN readers likely expect. Know how a good undergraduate CS degree involves writing hundreds of fully functioning programs? A gr

The real risk that I see is less malice on the part of anybody at Intel, but that some third party could inject some nasty binary into the nice binary and we would have no way of knowing. Web servers get hacked every day. If somebody gets i

Besides, the 3D rendering technique is apples compared with the oranges of pixel art. There's really nothing like artisanally crafted, locally sourced pixels made with love ;)
