Evidence? Also false dichotomy. We do not know the percentage of successful marriages with undiscovered affairs.

Similar to Global Thermonuclear War in the movie WarGames, the only winning move may soon simply be not to play :O

While this sounds sexist, would any husband actually argue against that part? Let's be frank, here

That limits your choices quite a bit. For example there are a large number of attractive women with terrible incomes and/or no savings, for which "scoring a successful man" may be …

I actually think this biases mate selection (not necessarily in a good way) toward people of similar or slightly greater/lesser income

"Throughout its history Norsk Data produced a long string of extremely innovative systems, with a disproportionately large number of world firsts." Still seems like something worth…

Fascinating. I see it as yellow. This also hints at the "qualia" mystery...

Don't be jaded! Stay excited! You were way ahead of the curve! ;)

As someone who has only recently (finally) become disillusioned by OO (especially in larger codebases and/or on programming teams, which both seem to rapidly escalate tech debt and…

> I also like the immutable variables aspect. Elixir has the same immutable variables. I don't know why this is such a misconception. Erlang conflates rebinding and reassignment, E…

I thought Erlang looked weirder than Elixir (to the extent that I was turned off until Elixir came along), but fortunately, both of our opinions are compatible as everything compil…

"I couldn't be bothered to Google the problem, but based on my sample size of 1, I think your problem doesn't exist" Thanks for that useful comment, man.

This is a quite beautiful post about engineering in general, actually. You try to solve a practical problem as best as you can, and you get sort of an unintended-beneficial-consequ…

I think physics and art are nearly the perfect potential sources of a good programmer

I could not get into Witcher 1 OR 2. Witcher 3 is as different from 1 and 2 as Assassins' Creed 2 was different from Assassins' Creed 1. I recommend it

I'm kinda glad I left frontend dev just as JQuery peaked lol

Zynga And I would personally argue for Microsoft's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend_and_extinguish program

Might I recommend Witcher 3 (amazing!) and Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain, both of which I enjoyed (slightly) more than FO4 (sadly) and DA:I. They are both also more "mature" g…

Homebrew... The only Homebrew I know about is http://brew.sh/ 1) There is almost definitely an emacs equivalent for iOS 2) Pycharm- Maybe Textastic ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/ap…

I am ONLY interested in this if it will be possible to code on it. I am fairly certain most of the HN community would agree that a device that "completes the circle" (allows you to…

EDIT: I was wrong. I assumed Chrome iOS and Chrome Android used the same rendering engine. I'm rather shocked that they don't, actually.
