Oh, I'm not asserting that it is , just that it sounds like it might be, based on the description in the Github README. If you're actually familiar with Perl 6 and don't view that to be true, I'd trust your assessment

Except that Ruby's translation into English was literally the cause of Perl's decline. Perl was intended to be a highly concise shell-like language that excelled at text processing. Partly in order to achieve such concision, the s

The bulleted description sounds almost exactly like a description of Ruby, and I don't mean this sarcastically.

Pretty sure it used to be <$20k for the same ~7%. The main value of YC has always been the training, network, and vote of confidence, not the funding. Not everyone finds it worth it for their particular situation, but many do.

Nope it's very clear once you know what to look for, as long as you're looking at something highly polarized. I still have this superpower about five hours later.

Took me an hour but I got it! Staring at a solid background on my Nexus 5 on full brightness in a pitch black room did the trick. Horizontal linear oscillation was more noticeable for me than vertical for some reason, which meant holding my

It would seem they also have far better short-term visual memory than typical humans. Or maybe that's the result of practice. Time to find out...

VimFx too - It's basically a clone of Vimium for Firefox, meaning it alters Firefox far less than Vimperator/Pentadactyl. There was previously a Firefox add-on that shared the name Vimium, but it doesn't seem to be maintained

Strange. Almost every article I'm finding echoes the EFF's statement about 48 months, but Judge Lindsay's own explanation of the sentencing is as Orin Kerr says. I wonder where that 48 figure came from. http://www.

The threats actually accounted for 48 of the 63 months according to the EFF article that the OP linked to. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/01/eff-statement-barrett-...

Card College by Roberto Giobbi is pricey but provides excellent instruction. If you don't mind reading older, more formal language (though not as old as Erdnase!), The Royal Road to Card Magic by Hugard and Braue, and its sequel E

Agreed if you can only report one figure, but the point of the article is that forecasters did only report one figure when they should have made it clear that there were competing models with very different predictions.

Right. Free market alternative should be able to beat government, so in cases where the free market isn't producing acceptable results, rather than forcing them to change through legislation, government can just compete with them u

I think the parent is asking/claiming that public options are almost universally less desirable than the product of self-interest in the presence of competition, so their main effect is just to ensure that the private would-be monopoli

I think you're confusing the parent's use of "primary" + "source" with the lexical item "primary source". The parent presumably meant "one of the most main sources [to use as one's only or f
