If you're thinking of land value taxes (Henry George style taxes, considered highly efficient), it's not taxing every property that's the same size the same exact amount. It's taxi…

Why not just view it in private mode?

I wonder if it's the fact that you're willing to explain that makes you better, that gets you over the "7a" hump, or if it's that after you grow out of the "7a" hump you become mor…

The argument here seems to be "Opportunities lie in the places others overlook." But that seems to be a little off-kilter, in this case: Atlanta might be a good location for you if…

I was going to say, it looks like my Series 9 15" is at least as good in every aspect (and it blows the lenovo away in terms of battery), plus if you're looking for something light…

But then you have to put all your butter/salt on all at once, and so you'll lose more of it. If you go in rows, you can go step by step, adding butter/salt as needed.

This article is really a poor analogy of what game design SHOULDN'T be. At least, if you want to create an original game. If all you want is to create another FPS with the same con…

But surely, you don't expect to actually use trees and recursion in your actual projects? All you need to be a good programmer is to take the libraries someone else has developed, …

What is it with certain static blog sites and linux chrome that make links and "special" font (such as his inline css font) unreadable? I don't like having to edit someone else's C…

Much more effective, and doesn't botch the code. The blog post's code would actually return 16, due to reduce being a fold left, and the sum function incorrectly being x+x.

Wait, isn't the whole idea of HN (and reddit, etc.) to have a social proof indicating which articles/comments you should read? What else besides a social upvote pushes articles to …

Well, considering LISP is still as valuable as it was 50 years ago (and lisp-variants aren't going away, because people will move to higher levels of abstraction), learning to prog…
