He was Un's half brother. First line of the article.

I've always wondered if Google did that. Seems obvious enough to just watch people using premade searches and see what they are up to.

Oh, I'm wrong because you don't like my username, copy that.

I lead a team of women doing computational pharmaceutical research. 12 women and 3 males, and 2 female undergrads and 2 male undergrads. But hey, your narrative is that I'm out of touch with women because I'm not a woman so how co

I've never once heard rumors like these until recently but I've noticed an uptick in people saying that there HAS been, when there hasn't been rumors to begin with.

Well actually I'd say that I just explained exactly why that's a bad idea. No business is too big for consumers to choose to destroy. Yahoo is a good case in point. People chose, Yahoo was killed. The free market could do it overn

I think yall are on the wrong side of this. Benefits of the free market vanish once regulations begin. If comcast wants to charge by the hour, let 'em try. How long until some guy creates the same product for 1/100 the price? Scar

I agree mostly but I'd argue that most F# devs are coming from c# to begin with. I'd love to see some data suggesting otherwise, but I have a very strong feeling that its true. I also like multi paradigm, doesn't take away fr

Well in the past sure, but MS is really pushing that """new leaf""" story, but they're busy fucking up the actual execution of it all.

Edit: just before somebody starts whining about it, I ain't got no problems with NET on its own, but the barrier to proficiency in it from a functional universe is needlessly high, and if F# had a stronger core it would be something no

I realize that .NET is F#'s biggest strength from the perspective that Microsoft probably holds of trying to push C# more functional, and trying to attract talent from R, Ocaml, Rust, Julia, Haskell, etc, but it also feels like its big

Wow!!!!! Stanford is the last place on earth that I'd expect to actually confront university PC culture. What an exciting discussion that will follow this!

by ultrahate 10y ago
Well because it's dealing with like comments on blog posts. There's a time and place for mass scale comment backends, but most blogs are not those places, and most people ain't got the time anyways.

Fowler has submitted exactly zero proof that any of this even actually happened.

Yall, I'm down with Uber. I know there's a lot of mudslinging lately, but I am so damn excited about the future. A world where we can do pub transit + big data, freight + big data, air freight + big data, food delivery + big data

Yeah, meta is something I always struggled with in Lua, as you're completely constrained to the table structures, but just that little extra power of being able to metaprogram over whatever data I want, is absolutely incredible, and it

What a shame that I'm excited that my country still supports my rights as a citizen to some degree. I'm disappointingly satisfied. Our rights are inalienable and self-evidently truthful. How can someone or some court thereafter de

I'm really anxious for Julia to start taking packaging more seriously. Pkg2 situation is pretty terrible imo, and the pkg3 whispers just sort of strike me as offputting, since there's basically no timeline of when they'll mak

If you could outline points of what I've posted that aren't substantial or empirically correct, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise I might be bold enough to note that it would seem you'd like to influence this discussion (whic

You seem to say this as if people's livelihoods aren't something they'd feel strongly about. I've noticed a certain rhetoric lately wherein Theranos is """just headlines""" but I mean, imagi

Yeah, I was just about to reflex-respond to your comment before I read the last line, because med science is something that I'd contend the vast majority of HN to be unfamiliar with. Depending on what the pay or benefits or whatever th

There's no shame in paying the rent, imho. People still onboard either: * don't know the risks somehow, so they must be idiots * know the risks, but think they'll get paid * know the risks, but haven't put together an es

Well I don't know, I didn't say I knew. I'm just pointing out that there are obvious weak points in critical infrastructure in space, as there are weak points in undersea cables, etc. Lots of infrastructure has bad aspects. I

"""Might""" Give me a break, Theranos is the biggest disgraceful excuse of a company that I've ever even heard of, and I've been reading this dumb board for 5+ years now. That people aren't 100%

by ultrahate 10y ago
No, but you might notice I didn't exactly advocate for under sea cable proliferation either. It has the same (percieved, I'm no expert) flaws.

Slightly tangential, but I'm really interested at the political influence of what space satellites or balloon Internet might do. I'm considering a scenario where a nefarious, space-capable entity is capable of disabling satellites

At least Oracle has actual products though. I don't wanna stick up for Oracle by any means, but comparing them with theranos just ain't right.
