In case you're interested, word creation is a pretty interesting topic in linguistics. The wikipedia page on this -- they call it "conversion" [1] -- seems like a good starting off point for someone interested in the subject.

I'm sure this is going to increase the competition for these roles, but heads up that the `icims.com` links weren't working for me, so you may need to use https://careers.microsoft.com/us/en/job/5903

Aah, thanks for the clarification :) the top voted comments on this article now indicate that as well, so hopefully no one else will have the same confusion.

There's a golang wrapper for libui written by the same author [1], if that's of interest. Same standard of documentation, though. [1]: https://github.com/andlabs/ui

Aah, makes. I'm not a huge fan of it for similar reasons, but the appeal of a language that's quick, dirty, and relatively acceptable by coworkers is strong.

Re. a recommended alternative to quick and dirty bash scripts, do you think golang would do? I've barely dabbled with the language, but its default packaging (a single, static binary) and build system (`go build x`) seem well suited to

Looks like you can set the cursor [1] property on some root element and it replaces the cursor with a custom image. [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/cursor

May I ask where you invested your time in learning Scala (e.g. reading the red book, studying type theory, syntax + stdlib + collections, etc.)? I found I could read simple Kotlin in a couple afternoons, and after a couple weekends, I felt

AFAIK, it's popular on Android because it provides e.g. Java 8 stream-like functionality without needing support for that baked into ART, which is something. Additionally, it supports compilation to Javascript [3] and early support for

shrug I was just cracking wise, but maybe? I've had the stock market on my mind a lot recently, hence the bad joke.

This [1] is the article they're citing. Note that a cursory search turns up similar claims from back in 2013; it might be worth waiting for someone with more experience and less bias to express their opinions before dumping your captch

To quote the page (emphasis is theirs): "COMPATIBILITY MacBook Google Chromebook Pixel MacBook Pro (2016) Dell XPS 13” So those devices work and everything else is a bonus, I guess.

Not sure if it bothered anyone else enough to look, but I tracked down the missing source for the header image [1]. The U.S. Declaration of Independence [2] is another nice example of handwriting, but unlike a random, faded (and potential n

On the flip side, I lose coverage incredibly often with Freedom Mobile. Basements, but also random parts of ground-level buildings, are off-limits. To be fair, their coverage map doesn't flat out lie anymore, so they are improving.

They 'closed' the Google referer header loophole by switching to Facebook and Twitter headers. That is a shortened Twitter link, thus you see the full article.

Edit: You don't really need monads any more than you need classes, interfaces, functions, procedures (just use goto!), etc. they just help bring a bunch of seemingly disparate functionality together into one standard (which is helpful

My workplace uses a rubric for determining when a developer qualifies for a promotion (+raise), which seems very similar to this. I'm not sure why both spur an immediate sense of revulsion in me, but they certainly do and the feeling i

shrug I wouldn't know, but as I understand it, people will sometimes spend a lot of money on hobbies. Also, I'd hope that most software developers don't need the best-of-the-best laptops to do their jobs -- perhaps this is

Wikipedia says that Embedded Controllers [1] are microcontrollers (like an Arduino!) that control everything the OS doesn't. It looks like these slides describe how to program said microcontrollers. [1]: https://en.wikipedia

I suppose I'm not arguing from the perspective of fairness, but moreso about incentives + experience. If we applied the author's argument against other fields and languages, e.g. machine learning and python, then the cpython maint

It seems like the core thrust of this article is that someone isn't around to perpetually support the libraries the author would like to use; i.e., he/his company is unwilling to fork out the money for someone to keep the 'bl

AcronymFinder.com works pretty well when you encounter an acronym you don't understand. In this case, you'd have to hit the 'Information Technology' section, as will frequently be the case on Hacker News.

Since you have way more knowledge in this area than I do, would it ever make sense to use a radio frequency laser (if that's even possible) for point to point communication? Like, to cut down on signal loss and etc. in much the same wa
