It can work. My current company uses a rule system to represent most of our business logic since it is so dynamic. The downside is that we have to rebuild the entire graph into memory (times the number of threads, times the number of app se

Actually, the car is one of the best listening environments most people have ready access to - an enclosed space (perhaps dolby 5.1) with sufficient bass, with all the channels pointed more or less equally at your head. Many audio engineers

I seldom see such hippie bullshit espoused on HN outside of Bitcoin/Ethereum threads. Music can sound good and be valuable in any setting: it can sound better with good audio engineering. It serves everyone to have a high quality artif

Oh, do tell me more about how blatantly different "ryanlol" and "ryanl0l" are and how it telegraphs your intentions transparently. If you never vote with this account or on anything posted by this account then... what&#x

Rails is at least an order of magnitude more widespread than Django/Laravel/any of its imitators. If you take a swing at any of the follow-ons, its proponents will invariably say it's just doing what Rails does. Try to imagin

Doesn't matter. When given the choice between "I believe that God doesn't exist" and "I don't believe that God exists" >99% of atheists would choose the latter as better representing their personal stan

I used to work in the music industry. I think your beliefs about writers' knowledge of music theory are way off.

I have never known a self-proclaimed atheist to actually say as much. This is purely a line toted about by those who wish to paint "atheists" in a certain light ("they're just as irrational as we!").

Most people who call themselves atheists disagree with you. You should respect others more.

It's not a functional language: http://robnapier.net/swift-is-not-functional Please inform me what Swift's type system has over, say, Java as I don't know of anything and neither does a cursory Google. The la

Swift might be "functional" (which means it has immutable values I guess?) or have a "pretty good type system" (which means it has generics?) but for a supposed "most productive language", I've never heard

Way to miss the point. Different precincts having different proportions is not the issue. Anyone that lives in NYC is well aware that, no matter what the commish says, the officers on the ground do whatever they think they can get away with
