Switzerland is biased because of the militan army approach. Every able-bodied Swiss male has an assault rifle at home, without any bullets, however.

Very interested, subscribed for an invitation. Your pricing model seems unconventional: I'd not cap at $50, let bigger companies pay your salaries. Also maybe consider letting small teams (e.g. 5) have a free plan.

Notice that the user agent string gets rewritten to something innocuous in HTTP headers but not JS. So sniff client-side through JS.

Seriously though, 14 years in internet time is about 1400 years. Whatever was on that graph is probably not relevant today.

My LL(k) recursive descent parser cannot handle left recursion without incurring in a O(n³) worst case time-complexity. OP please fix. I expect a solution until next week. Thank you.

If I wrote a natural number calculator in Agda; would all my numbers be represented as lists of successions from zero or can the compiler convert them to two's-complement integers as we know and love them? In case the compiler can do t

Thanks. I am referring to, for instance, the 'method notation' introduced in that article. I think I know what you mean by chunking. It is my understanding that it is a counter-productive thing, though. Just like how with 'fr

Why do Haskell programmers see it as a good thing to package their abstractions in syntactic sugar? Stop doing that. It makes it incredibly difficult to participate -- you basically need to learn 3 syntaxes on top of Haskell's own to c

That's the real problem; they don't know what to do about it, but they'll rather do anything instead of nothing. Either it's gonna be a lot of hot air or turn out for the worse. What's funny is that Google already o

Any side chain must therefore be able to generate currency out of the blue and on-demand. This might be possible to do in other protocols but not bitcoin. So the symmetry is basically lost. am I missing something?

It seems like the author is a Briton. As a Swiss citizen I don't understand how anyone from a first-world country would like to move to the USA. It's a downgrade in every aspect. Giving up democracy, social-security, the practical

You are right yet Go is much closer to C than Erlang in syntax, type system and memory-representation. Go is so close to C in fact, that its compiler is a modified C compiler. Therefore I'd bundle it with C and D rather than Erlang.

Unless you're a mathematician or theoretical physicist the gross of your CPU time will be spent waiting for IO. Reading from disk, writing to the network, synchronizing, etc. They're probably just aggregating 2 or 3 APIs, maybe hi

As I read it that's one AWS server of unknown size serving ~500rps of an application of unknown complexity. Tripled when using PyPy (whatever that is). Maybe a very small instance serving something fairly complex?
