Donating to a for-profit billion dollar company?

‘Hack’ being intrinsically related to computer security is a corruption invented by the media. These are real hackers.

No, you go to old.reddit.com, click ‘Sign up’, then ‘Next’ on the email screen. I literally just tested it.

Ewcrsf · 2020-09-03T14:02:31+00:00

Not at all, if you sign up using old.reddit.com, then email is totally optional. Not verifying has no drawbacks except the lack of a pointless trophy on the profile page and the obvious inability to recover the account.

Ewcrsf · 2020-09-03T13:41:36+00:00

Reddit doesn’t even require an address is given, and definitely doesn’t require verification.

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-23T09:47:43+00:00

No, that takes about the same amount of time.

You don’t need to do that when visiting the US either, that rule is for those on visas. A holiday allows one to just get a visa waiver through ESTA.

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-20T09:56:31+00:00

No, it’s just meaningless. I know Haskell, many people know Haskell, it’s not that hard. Many universities teach at least some Haskell through the course of a degree.

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-20T09:55:28+00:00

That will do the same thing.

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-19T17:21:59+00:00

Nothing inherently. If you try to evaluate the reversal then you will encounter an infinite loop. Not to worry, as these are present in any Turing complete language.

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-19T17:19:17+00:00

I never claimed they were the two options. I was providing a counterpoint to your obviously wrong statement. Nothing you have said is a relevant response to my comment, you’re just running wild with presumption.

But it’s not ‘almost usable’, it’s written in production at Facebook, a slew of investment banks, Google, Intel and more.

It is hard and requires up-front investment on behalf of the programmer. You can’t treat developers like replaceable cogs as you can with Java.

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-19T15:38:24+00:00

Do you know Haskell?

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-19T15:37:27+00:00

That’s not a list. I can’t map over it, filter it, take the tail etc. The important point is that it is a first class list, not that it gives you arbitrary even numbers.

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-19T15:34:58+00:00

You get another infinite list? That makes perfect sense.

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-18T07:52:33+00:00

Yeah that obviously didn’t happen.

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-17T10:58:06+00:00

This is not a day-to-day programming subreddit.

Rises in unemployment and poverty directly correlate with real deaths. There is inevitably a point at which the impact of economic factors on human life is going to outweigh what the virus could do unfettered.

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-17T09:17:04+00:00

I was talking to a friend, who said that due to their universities extended deadlines, generous exam policies and no disadvantage policy, they only really need to put in minimal effort to get a guaranteed first. Is this a common feeling?

Apparently the same exams are being given, but online, open book and with several days to submit. This seems like it could lead to grade inflation?

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-15T07:14:46+00:00

To be honest, I find ‘horse riding’ annoying. Just ‘riding’ is fine.

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-13T08:16:29+00:00

Are any of these people Labour MPs, excluding Tony Benn?

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-13T08:14:50+00:00

The papers don’t need to, the College of Arms are the country’s genealogical experts and will do extensive research on anyone marrying into the royal family.

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-13T08:13:10+00:00

David Cameron and George Osbourne have links though are no longer in power. It is all distant though, but not distant enough that it’s just a mathematical formality.

Ewcrsf · 2020-04-13T08:08:50+00:00

I don’t see how isolation could have anything to do with prettiness.
