Then the question is whether he can beat the Rock in the primary. Who do you think the Democratic nominee will be? Clinton again?

It's possible now to run Linux in a web page. How long before every web page has an Linux running in it?

Let me make sure I understand this: The license means that Facebook grants you the right to use the patents on React, but if you sue Facebook for patent infringement, you lose the …

Unicode identifiers make me uncomfortable. I have no idea how I would type that circular one in the "sharp macro" section (short of copying and pasting), and I'm imagining seeing t…

As a Python-lover who previously played with Common Lisp and Clojure, lispy syntax took less getting used to than having no end tags, but I'm still not used to prefix math.

> all I can say is, buy a B+ domain name, expect B+ results. Fair enough. I guess the expense could be justifiable if a good domain name really helps. I'm just wondering about quan…

> Personally, I think buying domains that seem good, and then brainstorming ideas for them is risky. Your ideas have to come from somewhere, but I think it's risky too. That's why …

Ad-supported site where people vote on ideas for making a quick buck.

I like the idea of using expiring domain names to generate business ideas (especially domain names that are fetching a good price). But what if, instead of buying the domain name, …

Me too. I hope someone in this thread will guess it, or something else equally interesting.

Also part of the C4 methodology: https://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:22/C4/ * A patch that introduces new features to a Public Contract SHOULD do so using new names.

What's a good resource on how to do this? How does the "income" part actually come back to you? Do you sell a little stock each month?

I see someone already posted http://www.everything2.com/ (my used-to-be favorite) and http://www.fusionanomaly.net/fusion.html . Another older one: (somewhat NSFW horror stuff): ht…

How do we find the cheat codes for the simulation?

I've found that reading sci-fi/fantasy before going to sleep helps me transition to sleep mode. I think it's because sci-fi problems are really somebody else's problem, so my brain…

That's why they call it neg-otiating.

You can write any abstraction in any language (more or less). But working in some languages you're less likely to encounter code written by people who realize that.

Why do we need so many different VMs anyway? Is it it just history and politics? Are, e.g. Python and Ruby so different that, if implementing from scratch today it would make sense…

An example of "scaling in" is this talk, "How to speed up a Python program 114,000 times": https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e08kOj2kISU

The relevant bit: F|R: I read that when you call Y Combinator winners, the founders have only five minutes to accept. ("If people turn us down," he says, "as far as we're concerned…

I think it's his use of coutnerpoint and its ability to pleasantly overload the brain. Case in point, Toccatta and Fugue in D Minor. Close your eyes and try to play air organ to th…

From the "choosing an interpreter" section: > Also use Python 2.7.x if you’re starting to work on a new Python module. Is this a generally accepted guideline? I'd have thought Pyth…

I'm guessing 5k + 5k per founder for ~6% of the company wouldn't work for a later stage company. Would this be more like a Series A investment?
