Google has had Seattle bus schedules for years, and OneBusAway has tracking, not schedules. Schedules are useless.

Why does someone who'se never used my site have an opinion on it?

Nit: A closer analogy is rationals, more so than reals (as reals have other unrelated properties like uncountability)

That is, given your simple rings (the integers) and finite rings (modulo n), you get fields by introducing just division (integers -> rationals; mod-n -> mod-p for prime p).

$50K over 5 years, not so much. 100,000 shares, maybe.

Missing generics -- it doesn't destroy type safety, it just forces the developer to write boilerplate variations of every method.

The official stance on that issue is: yeah, but it's better than the hassle of supporting generics (compiler effort, object code size/slowness, and excessive high-level abstraction (a bad thing in the Go world).

I have a foot on both sides: I miss generics when I'm writing one-off low-scalability code, but it's nice to have the speed of low-level Go code, and perversely fun to actually spend some of my coding time writing all those low-level sorting and array-building routines that are the meat of programmer interviews.

Now, when a candidate asks "When will I need to write a method to sort the keys of a map?", I can answer "Every time you use a map[string]T for a novel T!"

I hate novel T now. (<-- This is also a design feature of Go, the passive pressure to not use large hierarchical types, and try to do your work with just maps and slices of primitives)

Confusing post. It's an example of core.logic, not really an interesting Sudoku-solver, as all of the logic is in core.logic

Article title should be "Reverse index of where people went to school who talk about various topics".

Obviously, the author chose a more wieldly title, but a far less correct wrong.

Ugh. Behavior like this encourages more obnoxious teaser sites like this, that profit from abusing people's natural curiosity. These sites are barely a quantum leap above spam.

Yeah, it seems like weird wording, asking for confirmation that they can sue, without establishing the basis.

Why is the source code using StringBuilder everywhere instead of "+"? Is it designed for an ancient version of Java? Or is that some decompiled version?

Not everyone who works with electronic signatures reads HN or TechCrunch, though.

More than decade-old. The prime properties are FF3 - FF7, which are 15-20 years old.

Um, it gets worse. Apps are classified by how much the writer thinks the app is girly or manly, not actual usage numbers. The writer put all puzzle games in the girly category.

HN doesn't appreciate concise one-liners. You need to wrap your claim in a wordy anecdote with some explanatory flavor, to give readers a sense that you put a lot of thought into your typing.

Funny, that we have movements like Where's The Math lamenting that math education is collapsing because classes are doing "discovery math" (AKA goofing off and chit-chatting), instead learning fundamentals and practicing to memorize basic skills.

The blog is "Signal Vs Noise". There was never a promise that Signal would win.

Facebook didn't have to sell stock to comply with regulations. They only had to file paperwork. They IPOd to get the benefits of the IPO ($$$), since they already were facing the bulk of the paperwork requirements.

The problem is that individuals invest in funds whose managers chase these fads -- or who invest in broad market indexes. It's hard to find a "no hype" fund to invest in, especially when individuals have their hands tied by employer/government plans that don't offer owner-directed investments. (These 401-K and other non-defined-benefit schemes always seemed a scam to me -- in order to enjoy the tax benefits of saving for retirement, I have to invest only in the funds whose manager bought the fanciest lunch for my HR director?)

You are aware that Skype requires the Skype client, even less standards-based than Chrome, and everyone can use it? You can use Chrome and Skype alongside your web browser of choice. Chrome is spritually like the Mozilla/XUL of old -- it's a platform for apps, not just a web browser.

Hodgman is an pleasantly entertaining comediam. It's hard to appreciate him while loathing his character.

I don't know why you are surprised. Forbes is not a reputable publication. It's "People Magazine / US Weekly" for people in the business world. It's not Bloomberg News.

Who doesn't have a gigabit NIC? They've been standard for years.

Airline bankruptcy is a normal business activity, akin to an occasional server refresh in the data center.. It doesn't disrupt the overall airline industry, and it's not a catastrophe to a bankrupt airline.

Forbes has an agreement with Quora.

(But yes, to your point, Forbes is not a "journalism" site.)

Considering Googler guys never even published their thesis... they went commercial pretty quick after hitting their idea, and dedicated the largest portion of their lives to the business end.

It's written explicitly in the U.S. Constitution:

$2000/yr for 4 years is $8000

In Washington State, an AA is 4 semesters * $1500 = $6000, completed part-time by people have jobs at Amazon.

The Amazon hate on this issue is bizarre.

It's $2000/yr bonus for minimum wage warehouse employees, not spoiled engineers.

Redfin already has property taxes and mortgage rates, it just doesn't bother to put taxes in the calculator, for unknown reasons. Doesn't have the credit score stuff, but that's not really relevant -- if you have poor credit, buying a house anywhere near your affordability boundary is likely a huge mistake anyway.
