...like the contortions I have to go through to get exception-safe asynchronous flow control. OK, I'm game. Care to elaborate?

Why, that would have to be the very book I'm reading right now, in the moment, as we speak: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Aufzeichnungen_des_Malte_L...

Yeah, man. We know, we know, we know . What's your replacement?

Have to admit I'm not exactly afraid ... but kinda spooked out by those dried lotus seedpods

'sall good - both kinds of learning are useful and necessary, actually.

...or a notch under, for good measure.

You'll also be exposed to: near-stupendous degrees of waste, inefficiency, and general head-in-the-sand-i-tude. Like: signing up for a $140k/year "consulting" gig, but having a sec…

Seriously, your English is quite good, but there are a few grammar nits in your writeup, so it would pay to invest in a bit of proofreading (from a native speaker, if possible).

So everyone thinks they're hiring the top 0.5%, even though the same 199 losers are spamming their resumes to every job posting. Yeah, when you think about it, this whole "we only …

Well and good, but it might be better to say "correlate with" rather than "predict." In the scheme of things, it's probably more accurate to say that pi(x) is self-generating, and …

...but not nearly as hard as learning to program well in any single one of them.

My wrists, presently. Need a job where I can think for a living, for a change.

Except that the Free City concept wasn't dreamed up in a libertarian vacuum. Except the way Thiel & Co mean it, it was. There's no way you can compare their schemes with historical…

Umm, the people he represents weren't protesting that "Free Cities" are being built near their property (their "backyard") -- rather, that outsiders are proposing to build them on …

Or not goofy, if you think of 'number' as an enum constant denoting that variable's type , rather than its value . In this context, 'NaN' just happens to be another admissible valu…

Are you really posting from Iran? Are you familiar with the Tor Project: http://www.tor-project.org/ In any case, please be careful there, friend. Be very careful.

Nifty little app, but in no way comparable with a service the scale of Gmail. So a better title might be, "Doh! What's above the hood != what's under the hood."

Basic Latin American history, guys. Do a bit of reading.

Because the whole "Free Cities" thing is part of the old Libertarian wet dream of establishing instant Utopias on whatever scrap of "unclaimed" land they salvage from somewhere (so…

I think the basic point you've failed to notice is that, not-so-paradoxically, it's the "Free Cities" entrepreneurs who are seeking to benefit from, i.e. are openly acting in direc…

Jeez. I'm all for ditching $9,000-a-month "internships" at staid glass-box financial companbies. But someone needs to break it to this kid that war is no place for Experience Junki…

First-class Canadian-run legal systems, oh my! Sounds so wonderfully egalitarian and efficient, you almost want to move there... except that things aren't always what they seem: Th…

One of the ways we gauge an applicant’s ability to handle unknown situations is with a Lego test. ... Top-tier applicants will stand out during surprising interview situations, lik…
