In 92 I took a class that focused on "The theory of programming languages" It was one of the first classes I took (Master Programme in Computer Science)

I think it's instrumental in my ease of reading and understanding code bases in new languages.

We do the same in a 6 member team

It would be neat if someone added samples of extinct[1] or endangered languages.

My guess is that a massive majority of websites will never notice any performance difference.

Anecdata :

My wife's parents worked in Kenya for a few years in the 70s and they where advised that having a maid and a nanny was expected.

(we are Swedish)

There is an argument to be made that all those actions should be done by an external log parsing tool.

As with many things there is no easy right or wrong. For example, I want to be able to set log-level on different classes dynamically but where to draw the line?

Interested. I have a few decidedly "non-technical users" in mind. Any way to keep updated on the project?

Can someone please do a summary? I tried to read it but found it was too technical for me.

I suppose it's akin to a fidget toy but I think my cognition would halve if I didn't have my squeeze ball.

"An unusual tradition - a hangover from a time when people used mustard for its medicinal properties - is that chemists sell julsenap at Christmas"

It's not the pines themself. It's when its only pines i.e. lack of diversity.

I have ulcerative colitis (an autoimmune disorder) and my doctor said that there are some correlation with smoking and reduced symptoms. I asked if nicotine gum was an option since I didn't smoke and she said that gum or patches showed no such correlation.

All in all she did not recommend that I start smoking.

Slow down the animations please.

Is the certificate signed somehow? If not you should add that. Perhaps generate a qr-code with the text content in the certificate and a pgp-key the issuer holds.

And noone was surprised

In similar a vein.

"With enough users any bug is considered a feature by someone."

I have about usd 100 rotating in different micro loans through https://www.kiva.org/ In 11 years only one loan has defaulted.

OT, but I feel people who care about this perhaps knows the answer.

Is there a browser that pretends to accepts all cookies but never saves them?

Little longer summary:

The ideas of APL and its successors, the array programming languages, were two generations ahead of their time. These languages are based on the notion that everything is a tensor, and all operations are rank-polymorphic: they extend automatically to tensors of any rank. These ideas are perfectly suited to an era of machine learning, large scale data, GPUs and other accelerators. Building on recent academic research, we are building ShapeRank, a new statically typed, purely functional language for industrial use, that extends rank-polymorphism to streams. We’ll introduce the key ideas and show how they are realized in ShapeRank.

Find something that bothers you in your everyday life and make a MVP that solves that problem.

In Sweden at least "non payment" is not a valid way to cancel a service. You could end up with late fees and debt-collectors after you instead.

We use solr/lucene. It provides search and indexing for our CMS. It will in all likelihood be retired when we change CMS, it's scheduled for autumn next year (yeah right).

Very informative. Nicely done.

Recently had to move to windows/cygwin at work, iTerm2 is sorely missed

Original article is much more informative. http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/tech-industry/3501030/german...

Going to the site trying to get a TL;DR about what it is and then the information is a 4.5 minute video. That's not gonna happen.

Design! Show the result to potential users. Get criticised. Do more design.

"They started it" - Is no reason to be disrespectful or rude. Instead they should show by example how a to act.
