That's the version from 20 years ago. Those people have grown up and become school administrators, so it doesn't work as well anymore. The new plan is to release pigs numbered 1,2, 5,6,7, 10 and -2.

This is why the desire for Strong AI boggles my mind. In order for a computer to operate at a "human" level, it would need to make decisions based on things like ambition and fear and greed. It will also have to constantly make mi

Speaking as someone who was bad at monopoly as a kid, those cash injections helped make the game feel more "fair". The vanilla rules make it really hard for a newbie to win against someone who actually knows how to play strategica

I've never heard anybody mention Angular and Web Components as solving the same problem. I'm pretty fuzzy on front end MVC stuff in general, but I know almost nothing about Web Components. Do you know of any good tutorials or reso

Hacking scoreboards is pretty easy for people who are skilled at reverse engineering. Once one of these people figures out how to do it (usually by mocking up the high score message the game sends to the server) they release their crack on

While I definitely think everyone should learn C in college, I don't think it should be a first language. I'm currently teaching it in high school, and the amount of pain that goes into something as simple as managing arrays makes

Just from this comment, it seems like you guys have a pretty interesting problem domain. I'm going to take a look at the VLC repo and see if there's anything I can contribute, thanks for getting me interested!

It's a fun idea, but why is it $20/month? I feel like I could throw this together for free. Am I missing something?

Jinja2, ERB, Haml, Jade, etc. Any system where the thing you're editing could not be immediately served as an HTML file.

While I'm sure this does indicate that the Rust guys are pretty industrious, I feel like judging a project by how many issues it's closed is like judging it by how many lines of code it has.

I don't really see the problem with this. A lot of the languages you mention have been slowly and sustainably building support, even when they aren't on the front page of HN.

Any idea if there's a plugin for evaling pre-processed languages like Haml, Sass or CoffeeScript? And is there a good place to find a list of plugins? I've tried googling for them but I feel like there are probably plugins I'

While I don't need videos in order to learn, I find that seeing concepts represented visually while hearing them described by someone often works better than simply reading them. I've done some of CodeSchool's courses even

The issue I have with the hypothetical is: how would they know about the phone calls without a wiretap? If there was no other reason to suspect the guy, they'd have no basis for probable cause, and thus no way to get a wiretap. Now if

For anyone who's into this kind of stuff, the International Dialects of English Archive[1] is an awesome resource. I've used it a lot to practice accents for acting roles. [1] http://www.dialectsarchive.com/

TL;DR - It's an IDE with support for live coding. It's built with ClojureScript and has a number of unusual good properties. However, you really need to see the video to understand how viscerally awesome it is.

This isn't the kind of problem that policy is good at solving. This is a cultural issue: so long as people in general are conservative about what they want their kids to see, removing things from the block list will carry a political p
