What if there was a word for a group of men, a word for a group of woman and a non-gendered word for a mixed group?

I use Firefox on Ubuntu and do not have this issue - is there something more specific that triggers this behavior? Have a link to the bug tracker?

> Why? The U.S. CDC and most experts agree that many infected and contagious people don’t know they’re sick because they don’t have symptoms.

> This is a squandered opportunity to try to get scientific minded people into running for the republican seats, which is how you would get real change in the discourse.
I believe his point is that getting scientists into Republican seats might re-shape the party from being anti-science, to being a pro-science, fiscally conservative alternative to the Democrats.
One of the major parties being unacceptable is highly problematic.

What if instead of coopting the tech, they add their resources to the existing blockchain, making it more robust?
jedi_stannis | 11 years ago | on: Porting a NES Emulator from Go to Nim
Thanks, that first post is really interesting. Two things stand out to me:
* Run regular code at run time - does this just error if you try to use const on something that depends on a runtime value?
* Add your own optimizations to the compiler - isn't this very dangerous, especially if optimizations from various sources of code get combined? Even if your optimizations are valid (which there seems to be no guarantee of), computer math is notorious for being different from real math. People unaware of the nuances of integers rolling over or floating point seem like they could easily shoot themselves in the foot here.
jedi_stannis | 12 years ago | on: The sum of all the positive integers is not -1/12
No, the title is right. The sum is not -1/12, there is no sum because it diverges. The Ramanujan summation is not the real summation, its a way to assign a sum to divergent series which can be useful in some cases.

There is no central controlling authority you need to trust to not seize your digital currency.

1.5 years is 78 weeks. 12.5B emails / 78 weeks ~ 160 million emails a week.
6 weeks * 160 million ~ 960 million emails.
So the last 6 weeks is 156% of the average. That seems like good growth, not unbelievable growth.

This problem is also present in Haskell and it seems to work out pretty well there

I would love a chapter on Monan Transformers. Its one concept I can't seem to wrap my brain around and a LYAH style chapter seems like the perfect thing to help me understand it.

Yes, but its not turnkey. It takes a certain level of skill to put up a landing page and track clicks on your "Buy now" button. I think he wants all of these things to be super simple.
