Wow, the Python community sure is impressed with its small dicts. Have they tried pooling?
Or perhaps the brain is less impressive than you think.

Hey HN! I want to hear the arguments as to why this is or isn't a positive development for society. Not whether or not it's the right business decision, or whether or not they should have the right to do it. Any…

Yeah, the tribalism isn't really based on party lines so much. Identity politics has gained primary importance, perhaps in part because of social media. Also, on that note, I thought this was interesting:…
Remember, we just elected a black man who was the head of the Harvard Law Review. Whatever you think about him, he did not succeed because of know-nothingism. We have bifurcated in some ways, but there's still a lot to…
This is so freaking cool! A mini-history told by someone passionate about it.
I used it at work last summer, and it was fine-- did everything you'd expect it to, etc. I found that I missed my Mac for a few reasons, but those seem to be mostly idiosyncratic.
Well... It doesn't. The same ratios exist for A=440:A=440 * 3/2 and A=432:A=432 : 3/2, for example
If I understand correctly, he's guessing that pitch discrimination is finer at lower frequencies, so tuning at 432Hz would allow our ears to be more 'exact'. Of course, this advantage would be negligible, and pitch…
Ok, I see what you mean. Then most songs would sound 'better' a half-step down, etc.
What??? Tighter differences between each notes' frequencies?? Please explain this thought.
It's not.
Or it's a stand against a movement which opposes their moral principles. To Pao (and, to the extent that it matters, me), D. Trump's movement is so vile that any prominent supporters of it waive their right to being…
Right there with you. I'd like to know your perspective of the explicit amorality of the SV "quirky-elite", especially the YC-Facebook nexus. To me, Altman, Zuckerberg, and Thiel all very obviously have ulterior scifi…
I agree, up to the point where we are so certain about a freedom that we decide it is not worth having. Say, the freedom to drive on the wrong side of the freeway. You make a good point: regulation is a clumsy tool, and…
Very funny.
It's large... Perhaps, not as high-quality as some other development communities... But quantity may help over quality.
I have, and it's fine, even on my mbp. Perhaps I'll switch? Margins are low because I don't code all that much.
They don't, but they also don't like going to the gym, waking up early for work, or taking out the trash. I think it'll be interesting to see who do and who don't Willpower and motivation fascinate me. I've been living…
Atom (hear me out): + runs graphically + runs linux, macos, windows (nothing else?) + open source + ridiculously, easily extensible + not riddled with bugs (slowness is not a bug) + for small files, comparably quick to…
Ethically, it's absolutely unconscionable to show people only what they want to see, enabling our worst features to simply fester unchallenged. From a Machiavellian standpoint (read: Thiel or Zuckerberg), this isn't an…
Some good points brought up here-- we need evangelism like this to get enough public support to explore the galaxy.
I agree, for the most part. But can you explain why this is a valid equivalence? On the surface, sure, but exploration-for-it's-own-sake isn't a good enough reason. Also, some would argue that the disadvantages (e.g.…
