This is not a great experience for the majority of users. Even suggested questions like "What is Rust written in?" is going to confuse so many people.
Re:Roblox raises $520M at $29.5B valuation

Just thought of downloading the game to understand what all this valuation is about, but the reviews in the iOS App Store are so so fake, it stopped me right there from installing it.

I've used it for custom domain mailboxes as well. It's ok, has 2FA as well.

Or more like, you write unit tests even if no one asked you to.

Ask HN: Should I worry about software patents?
A patent like this http://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2016/0342709.html is a straightforward way of persisting graph data on RDBMS. If I wish to create an open source alternate implementation of a GraphDB with similar design, should I be bothered? Can I get away with minor tweaks in the design?

"There’s no need to manually create indexes on columns already declared unique; doing so would just duplicate the automatically-created index."
Is the last part real? Makes me feel like forking postgesql just to save the world from accidental duplicate expensive indexes.

Everyone against Facebook is just jealous. Admit it. You don't want a world that's not connected, and Facebook executed it brilliantly.

Agree. But that line is the crux! They should have implemented this match to begin with, to functionally make use of maps!

If you check the errata #77244, that's his ONE SINGLE example of how you can use pattern matching with maps. I smiled as I read the example. But when I tried it, boom! That piece of code does not run on any released version of Erlang, and I am here trying out Erlang to see if I can use it in my enterprise project! The most disappointed I have been while learning any language.
