This "for humans" shit has to stop.

I think he means that Linux email clients are not that good, and Apple Mail is pretty decent.

I'd never bash CLRS but people suggest in strange situations. It's definitely not a good introduction to algorithms. It does makes sense as a reference and of course as a course textbook. As a book to actually read, Kleinberg/Tardos is much better.

Can't really be a pure function if it's changing state

Because you're playing according to your current sentiment and not crowd pleasing.

Pretty sure it was a joke...

Here you go, straight from Zardoz.

"Ideal" growth of an economy is 3%. Growth takes resources(fossil fuels, ore, etc). Compound growth takes more and more resources over the whole planet. Free market fundamentalism means we're not investing so heavily into alternative sources but burning what we've got. Compound that 3% and it's just a metter when we'll be fucked unless things change a lot.

I'd take it step by step: Step 1 is to launch your friend into space.

Interesting how migrating to space is more "Real" than changing how we use resources.

The Art of Computer Programming

There's nothing wrong with gaming, but from your other post I gather you spend a lot of time with computers(like everyone else here), so try to find something that's low tech and involves other people. Gaming is like drugs, it's fine if you occasionally partake, but no-one likes an addict.

The rich are already paying taxes in other countries so it's like they already left...

It's not about me, it's about the artist, and I sure as hell hope they get a say in how an event gets experienced. That's part of the art.

Or you can, you know, just enjoy the show without your phone...

We were writing out our own thoughts before the internet and also cutting the length down(see graffiti, sms).

Being exposed is not the same as being constantly bombarded with new content. By the way, you're not really being exposed to that differing views as Google, Facebook, etc are putting you inside a bubble filled with things you like.

Moderation is hard when companies are working hard to make you use their tech as much as possible (more looking, more clicking -- more money).

I used to do something similar. Nowadays I put stuff I want to read into <insert fav read later service> and read them later if I'm not going to do it right away.

Many tabs is not a hundred tabs. You can't really manage a hundred tabs. Try using bookmarks and a search engine.

A classic example of finding a technical solution to a human problem. If you have a hundred tabs open, you're problem is the hundred tabs and not your browser.

It's today's software which -- being almost a synonym for enterprise software -- can be a problem for a culture built on it's difference from Enterprise Java.

This is among the dumbest things I've ever read on HN.

Posts like these are the new infomercial.

That's just not true. For one you're not factoring in the cost to hire, monthly tax on that salary etc. I doubt a good developer earns less than 4k gross in say Paris.

My other problem with this line of thinking is this idea that you are getting less for that 4k than if you were to hire someone from the US. There are extremely capable people around the world with excellent communication skills and if you're looking at it with this attitude you will just miss out on this talent.

Not written in Go but look into OpenSMTPD[1].

Not agreeing or disagreeing but I don't think he meant what do you need to survive but after he goes on to say that it means "what do you need to be happy with this job".

false dichotomy alert

Probably all of the options waste a lot of screen by default. Elementary would be an exception. I was thinking more about just general polish.

It is the most polished Linux desktop IMO.

It's even more difficult when alternatives are so scarce. For example TextSecure doesn't exist for iOS.
