What if there was a word for a group of men, a word for a group of woman and a non-gendered word for a mixed group?

I use Firefox on Ubuntu and do not have this issue - is there something more specific that triggers this behavior? Have a link to the bug tracker?

Try using a pin to clean the lint out of the USB port

How would I configure StackImpact to run on my celery workers?

You could try an antenna - most of the things you mentioned are broadcast over the air

> This is a squandered opportunity to try to get scientific minded people into running for the republican seats, which is how you would get real change in the discourse.

I believe his point is that getting scientists into Republican seats might re-shape the party from being anti-science, to being a pro-science, fiscally conservative alternative to the Democrats.

One of the major parties being unacceptable is highly problematic.

What if instead of coopting the tech, they add their resources to the existing blockchain, making it more robust?

Thanks, that first post is really interesting. Two things stand out to me:

* Run regular code at run time - does this just error if you try to use const on something that depends on a runtime value?

* Add your own optimizations to the compiler - isn't this very dangerous, especially if optimizations from various sources of code get combined? Even if your optimizations are valid (which there seems to be no guarantee of), computer math is notorious for being different from real math. People unaware of the nuances of integers rolling over or floating point seem like they could easily shoot themselves in the foot here.

No, the title is right. The sum is not -1/12, there is no sum because it diverges. The Ramanujan summation is not the real summation, its a way to assign a sum to divergent series which can be useful in some cases.

There is no central controlling authority you need to trust to not seize your digital currency.

1.5 years is 78 weeks. 12.5B emails / 78 weeks ~ 160 million emails a week.

6 weeks * 160 million ~ 960 million emails.

So the last 6 weeks is 156% of the average. That seems like good growth, not unbelievable growth.

This problem is also present in Haskell and it seems to work out pretty well there

I would love a chapter on Monan Transformers. Its one concept I can't seem to wrap my brain around and a LYAH style chapter seems like the perfect thing to help me understand it.

Yes, but its not turnkey. It takes a certain level of skill to put up a landing page and track clicks on your "Buy now" button. I think he wants all of these things to be super simple.

Yeah, naming has never been free software's strong point. I had a hard time understanding what it was until I read the pdf in the linked blog post. Hopefully by the time the idea is fleshed out and presented to a more mainstream audience there will be a better explanation of what it is and no sign of the poor code name left.

Yes it is really pulling a syntactic trick and not comparing against bools. From the docs:

Comparisons can be chained arbitrarily, e.g., x < y <= z is equivalent to x < y and y <= z, except that y is evaluated only once.

Thanks! This is exactly what I've been looking for. A dynamic language with Haskell-like syntax.

Where does the Haskell type system fit into his description?

My solution is a little bit more hackish, but more usable imo. Not thoroughly tested though, might have some implications I haven't thought of.

I think his point was that current third party mediators will not be happy to be cut out of the equation. Even though the system will be more efficient without them, they will try to do whatever they can to still get their share of the transaction.

I haven't picked it up yet, but I remember reading about "The Princeton Companion to Mathematics" on here a while ago. It looks like a pretty complete guide to all of modern mathematics and sounded like it was easy enough for a beginner to get through while still being able to teach math experts some new things.

Thanks for reminding me about it - I think I'm going to order my self a copy!

No need to learn a new editor. There is a great plugin to use Vim with Clojure. I've always been a Vim user and think its great, although I've never used SLIME so I can't directly compare.

The reason seems to just be that LISP books generally don't sell well. And it seems to still be in their submission guidelines.
