Better version, with GroupBy and less lambdas uploaded to http://pastebin.com/f201d8052

Um, what's hard to understand in: "#LINQ in C# is cool #Python doesn't quite need it as it has generatior expressions, sum(), len(), sorted() and itertools.groupby() #so let's just…

Um, exactly what words in "#LINQ in C# is cool #Python doesn't quite need it as it has generatior expressions, sum(), len(), sorted() and itertools.groupby() #so let's just wrap a …

I figure humans are best modelled as singletons, each being one instance of his own class... (This is why prototype-based OO would sometimes be more useful)

(Python) TweedHeads.Say("something", visitor4rmindia.Listen) visitor4rmindia.Say("something else",TweedHeads.Listen) The Say method takes 2 parameters, what is said in a string, an…

I'm interested in functional programming, but I think there are some features of OO that are a bit hard to reproduce in non-OO functional or to do anything similar. So you have a t…

Also, Hollender's Tenth Rule (tongue-in-cheek): Any sufficiently user-friendly functional programming library contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementat…

The author doesn't grok what higher education is currently for. The current methods are suitable for the current goals. I think you should first thing about chaning the goals, not …

Um, I'm techie enough, but I don't get it myself. I mean, if you are already using some sort of knowledge base then yes, it should be a wiki, I get that. (Wiki is the closest thing…

I'm in a similar position working as a Navision ERP consultant/developer (MS Dynamics-NAV), doing it for 6 years now. But my advice is different. I think it really boils down to on…

"Doing what you love is as important as ever" Eh. Does the sticky sugar-candy new-age optimism pouring out of blogs like this disturb only me? It's pure bullshit. Work was NOT mean…

The problem with most exercise advice is that no exercise in the world helps if you are not willing to do it. And this is what they don't tell you. They just tell you to gather you…

"You just made me and every other female/over 30 reader feel like shit." Why do you care what other people think of your age or anything? If someone wrote "she got a boyfriend with…

About the Heisenberg-principle of interacting with others: my experience with Americans is that they tend to be outspoken and direct, and expect the same in return. In cultures whe…

I'd think all those nuclear bunkers could be converted into parking houses :-)

Wouldn't it work when "smart" clothes are required, would it?

There is no such thing as "succeed". The question is always about which evils are lesser.

It does not matter. All that matters is that it corrodes moral character less than other - socalistisc - arrangements, because in a market you can't just take something away withou…

Not getting enough sleep is bad in itself, but I think my bad habit is world-class in stupidty: 7PM: arrive home 8PM: have dinner 9PM: start drinking wine (3-6 glasses depending on…

Agreed, but still, I think the point is that failure does not need no reason. Failure is the default option. Try to land a Boeing 747, you fail. You need to learn, practice and do …

I'd suggest reading it first (PDF): http://mises.org/books/econforrealpeople.pdf

You know, the funny thing about evolution-acceptance is that it forms a full circle. There are the weird creationists on the far right. And there are the liberals in the center and…
