Oh look, it's another American who thinks Europe is a single cultural entity.

I'm European and I've never seen an unrefrigerated egg in my life.

We refrigerate them in Belgium as well. What a shit article.

Vote for pro-EU parties. Or really any party that isn't UKIP.

This would not have happened if the UK had listened to the ECHR or the ECJ.

Thanks, that makes the situation much more sensible. (ESL)

> Germany asks top U.S. spy to leave amid flap

That says quite a lot about U.S. - Germany relations.

I think the Pinteresque tiling home page might work if the information density were to be increased by quite a lot. What bothers me most is how you can only see the name of the board and the two/three most recent comments. What does that provide in terms of information? Not much IMO.

The forum itself just seems like the same 90's forum from yesteryear with a new glossy coating. Once you've gotten used to the Reddit/HN way to manage content you simply can't go back to that.

Why London? Wouldn't it make more sense to have it organized in a mainland city such as Berlin or Paris where many more Europeans can easily get to?

This is basically how homeopathy become popular in the first place. It worked better than what was currently available in regular medicine because it didn't work at all.

Landing pages like those are becoming the new 1999 restaurant website Flash intros.

Why not? What's wrong with taking your kids to soccer practice with a bike?

sorry.

Think haikus but in code.

People would be more easily convinced of Ur/web's usefulness if impredicative.com/ur didn't look straight out of 1995.

In an age of asymmetric public-key cryptography there would be very little to gain from number stations and a lot to lose.

You might want to try posting this question on specialist electronics subreddits and forums like r/electronics, r/rfelectronics, r/electronic_circuits/, r/hwstartups and r/hardware. So I guess my advice would be to treat it like a numbers' game :). There's bound to be someone out there who can help you.

He should really consider smoothing it out a bit and selling it as a beginners' kit somewhere.

I would love to give my little nephew something like this where he would have to assemble all the separate parts and do some basic Linux configuration. Perhaps Adafruit could help him out with that?

When is the last time you heard of someone going to jail because of a zero day?

Edit: apparently wget has a magical flag that allows you to download all resources on an HTML page as well. Consider this solution inferior to Ellipsis753's and jamiis's. However, I will leave my reply up since this method is applicable to a lot of other situations as well.

I think it says a lot about the web when a simple, mostly text-only page giving an accurate description of what something is gets viewed as excellent due to how uncommon it is.

I don't exactly understand why Haste was made into a separate dialect when it "just" has a different stdlib?

> with a different set of standard libraries

Is there a technical reason why it would be ill advised to just make Haste itself into a separate library that can be included into the regular Haskell ecosystem? Doesn't this type of fragmentation cause huge delays in the progress of a language, ultimately?

Hopefully it's obvious that I'm entirely not knowledgeable about these things and that I'd love for someone to explain this to me.

No.

Yes Please. Do you have a link to your blog?

Same here. Would totally love a tour of their offices.

Have you guys ever considered getting EU funding? There's always some grants to be had with projects like these.

Which would require me to press two keys instead of one.

Why take a car to the neighbourhood store when a fit-for-purpose bike would work just as well, while being free of all the complexities that a car has?
