I finished Confessions a few weeks ago, and this review does it justice. The first few chapters, which are autobiographical, completely changed how I view antiquity. From "ah, these people are tough to relate to and certainly must have

Even if you don't write Clojure code in your project, the Clojure REPL can be used to experiment with Java code in the same way the Groovy or Scala REPLs can.

I totally agree. It is an imperfect comparison, and by no means did I intend to directly compare the horrors of war with a few years spent in a hacker house. But it is interesting that the reasons quoted above can be used to justify so many

> “Teens have a greater risk tolerance. They can live in conditions we would find inhospitable. They have a fresh mind; they have so much optionality, youth, and stamina.” Sounds like the same reasons we send young people to fight in war

I built a shell in Haskell for a class project this semester. At some point I'll get around to releasing it on Github. It doesn't do much aside from backgrounding tasks, piping, and supporting environment variables (both in a conf

I was about to comment with the same observation after looking at your parent's link. Has the hacker news audience really grown that much in the last 2 weeks?

I thought roughly the same thing until this semester, my fourth in university. I took my first class with under 10 people, a combinatorics class, with an outstanding teacher. The class was demanding, and it is the first time I have attended

I once worked with an engineer who implemented the card game hearts in every language he learned. After the first implementation, you don't have to spend so much time thinking about the problem domain and can focus on finding the most

To be fair, the science section of the ACT is testing the ability to understand graphs and read short passages on scientific topics. In this sense, it is more of a reading comprehension section than a science section. In my opinion, this is

Oddly enough, I find movie soundtracks to be the single most distracting music selections during work. I constantly find myself zoning out and thinking about movie scenes. For me, a soundtrack carries a heavy emotional weight similar to wat

Thanks for sharing. Just downloaded and am using it right now. Just the fact that I can comment once again is a huge improvement over my last daily. I was really beginning to miss my Android and its version of HN.

I think this issue is causing real identity problems for many in the Republican party. As noted above, the libertarian wing is clearly against surveillance. However, IMO some of the most fundamental tenants of conservatism are anti-authorit

I guess I rationalize spending the money for University in two ways: First, the cliché: You are almost guaranteed to make enough money coming out of college to pay off debt incurred in a reasonable amount of time. Anything extra from that p

Funny to think that the experience gained by attending Harvard for 4 years wouldn't be worth anything if you couldn't tell people you attended Harvard (due to the NDA). Just goes to show that the degree, not the education, is what

Wow, that's an option I hadn't even considered due to North Korea's closely watched borders. I guess it's hard to imagine a terrorist style nuclear strike from NK.

I fail to understand why North Korea is seen as a serious threat. The country can't fire a missile much further than Japan, failed miserably when attempting to launch a microwave-oven satellite, and has no technical abilities that are

I'd be interested to compare the benefits of a 4 day week with those of a 5 day, reduced hour week. I'm inclined to believe that the reduced hour week would give you more productive days while still making lots of time to sleep in

We were actually allowed to use Mathematica on our Linear Algebra exams this semester. I think it made the tests a lot more effective because you didn't have to go through the algebraic trouble of finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors,
