1) how would states rights prevent the tragedy of the commons? CO2 emissions surely apply. You would need to have state-level tarrifs for bad actors. 2)If you move it to the state-…

People need efficient transport not efficient cars. Efficient cars are merely less bad, rather than good. We need more public transit and less urban sprawl so that we can reuse inf…

Yes! I wish this was known. Mine lasted a couple of days. Thought I'd never feel joy again.

Sounds like it would have lots of noise.

Yeah, but they might live for another 6 months, or 18 months. They might see there kid graduate or get married or met a grandson in that time. Also, a close family friend was given…

Object oriented does not require state: it requires encapsulation. I incorporate as much immutability into my code as possible and I would say most of our objects never have their …

I honestly just use my Kobo for tech books like Manning and classics from Project Gutenberg. Otherwise dead tree.

Any summary on what was omitted? I'm not a C++ programmer so going to the source wouldn't help me much, but I'd love to know.

Libertarians care about [1] and are a significant percentage of the user base and a worthwhile demographic for advertising etc.

The property of homoiconicity is shared by all Lisps, Forths, and Prolog amongst others: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoiconicity

Hmm, in your opinion do you think this would be a good technique then for digitizing paper maps? And if so, could you point in the direction of a library or textbook you'd recommen…

Don't forget the AGPL.

Is there an e-ink reader with a 8.5"x11"/A4 screen that'll display PDFs? All I want is to be able to bring all my tech ebooks with me to work and be able to look things up/brush up…

With the plug pulled on Groovy I'd love to see optional static typing added to JRuby, even if it wasn't a Ruby-compatible extension.

Formatting -IMHO- depends on context. I have one convention I generally use which is chaining methods together on one line, but when chaining together builder method call I make on…

That dream is so child-like that you should treat that person as a child.

No, it should be part of HTML. A dimension or unit tag. It seems like a perfect continuation of semantic tags and the direction of XHTML 2 before the presentation-focused monstrosi…
