Re:What I learned getting acquired by Google on Friday December 15, 2023 @08:31AM (#38653985)
Perhaps I'm missing something. Why is this the same content as https://shreyans.org/google, word for word?

As far as I can see, they are not the same authors

More information about Thue on esolangs: https://esolangs.org/wiki/Thue

There's a list of alternative implementations if you feel like playing with it.

PS: IMHO, this is a better link than the free.fr link from OP. Link to this page instead, either from esolangs wiki or on HN here?

Take a look at this link from Chris Allen (aka bitemyapp): https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell

The current best resource for beginning with Haskell seems to be haskell-book (listed on the Github link above): http://haskellbook.com/. Chris Allen also authored this book with Julie Moronuki.

If you're looking to diversify your interests to broader CS/FP topics, you may find this link helpful: http://reinh.com/notes/posts/2014-07-25-recommended-reading-...

You forgot binary.
I just had a look at your "about"[1] page - In all seriousness, why do you have to name your "about" page as "wtf"? If it's for humour quotient, it doesn't look good.

Re:Ask HN: Where do you get your daily laughter quota? on Sunday February 15, 2015 @04:11AM (#9052122)
> where do you get your laugher quota everyday?

Honestly, if you have to ask that question, then I'd say you're doing it wrong. Why do you need a _quota_ for something as natural as laughter? That's like saying you are not human or you don't identify yourself as human and see yourself as a drone.

RELAX! Let yourself go and let your brain run free. You may find yourself truly surprised at how your brain comes up with weird and funny things. Or, you can find humour talking to your colleagues in the course of work during the day. If not, of course, there are other channels if you're _really_ looking for dedicated humour topics (others have said that already, I'm not adding more to it. I just enjoy reading Calvin & Hobbes from my daily newspaper) :-)

This is a very bad precedent. I'm hearing impaired and I would never think of demanding this when I'm getting these things for free. Perhaps, I would not be saying this if I were paying for it - still, I may consider the other party when it comes to this.

Using the law as a weapon to demand something where we have alternatives[slides, notes or manuals] is, in my opinion, like "biting the hand that offers help".

That said, I have been seriously putting in effort to listen to videos without captioning. Yes, it's an uphill task and I'm willing to do it.

Don't fret - I'm pretty sure it isn't the same in other Indian languages :-)

That said, I'm a bit leery about doing user management using third party libraries and I looked at the linked HN page to find the same concerns expressed. Please explain more about how you plan to address security concerns. Good luck!

P.S: "Mast" as posted by architgupta means "Cool/good". As always, have fun!

Re:Bullshit Interviewers on Friday August 30, 2013 @11:21PM (#6305620)
Yeah, I thought of that - but do people look at average speed when timing a race? I was reading the whole sentence in "... you don't have a stopwatch and all horses run at a constant pace." :-)
Re:Bullshit Interviewers on Friday August 30, 2013 @11:02PM (#6305564)
And "all horses run at constant pace"? People are reading too far along skipping this thing - I mean, what's the point in finding the fastest one when they all run at the same pace?

For context, here's the actual wording from the article:

  There are 25 horses and a single race track. The
   track has 5 lanes. Your job is to find the fastest 3 
   horses assuming you don't have a stopwatch and all 
   horses always run at a constant pace. What’s the 
   way to find the fastest 3 in the fewest uses of the 
   track.

Re:Java Developers: Need to know vs Nice to know? on Friday April 05, 2013 @12:08PM (#5499250)
I'm not sure Scala qualifies as a "nice to know" when OP had specifically asked of Java developers and ecosystem.
Re:For One Man, It Really Is the End of the World on Friday April 05, 2013 @12:01PM (#5499211)
I'm not really sure what to make of this. Is this supposed to be a record breaking thing or a talk of the kind of obsession that this guy has/had? In either case, 193 countries visited in a year is no mean feat - it requires a good amount of dedication/focus to achieve that. So, the real question is, what did he get out of this worldwide trip? Changed perceptions, ideas and what does he intend to do with it? It's not entirely necessary that he has to share them, but then, he had given an interview - so I think it's a natural question.
