I mentally cross out the "not" and the "un" or "in"; then it reads correctly. e.g.: "not uncommon" becomes " common"

Seconded. Devote a short episode to tools, but don't mix the tools and programming too much.

Very cool. I don't have many Haskell coders where I spend my time, so it is nice to watch how someone with more experience tackles fairly basic programming tasks. The guard window …

It's not so simple. Any language (that is actually implemented) is always designed with regular specific consideration for implementation strategies. In fact I would go so far as t…

IANAL, so isn't one of the counterparts to intent in law negligence?

Well good on you taking a reasoned but unpopular position. I agree that the description of the events seems to leave out a bit, particularly the emotional content of the interactio…

You had me until "somewhat write-only." Sounds like you are poisoning your code-base with square functional pegs in round C++ holes...

Can anyone describe the types of people who bid+pay 5 and 10 thousand dollars for these projects? I can't imagine devoting that much money to a playdate at PAHQ or to hang out for …

I'll bet those tires were purchased brand new...

It took me awhile to figure out what this is. Jeff Wofford has cloned IGN's article and made small but important changes as way of giving IGN some of the medicine they are recommen…

Totally sour grapes, but I sure get tweaked when I see people doing cool things with toys that are ostensibly available but that I can't buy yet because...

One difference is that macros (whether run-time or compile-time) use a call-by-name evaluation strategy. Hence they are a form of lazy evaluation. Functions (in scheme and lisp) ar…

Nordstrom offers unlimited and lifetime exchanges for cash. It appears to work well (overall) for them.

Not to mention the Pop Chips bags...

Hopefully it'll eventually become a computer with no screen or keyboard, just a big red button which turns the thing off. I'd buy that.

I doubt it's too gory... its probably just that "hitting pause" would pause whatever is deciding to put the block of text up so it would never go away...

Anyone else feel that there's an overwhelming sense of entitlement to the fruits of the pharmaceutical companies efforts?

More than that, the experience surrounding the purchase decision for the $6 coffee is packed with seemingly reliable indicators of quality. From the neighborhood of the coffee shop…

I don't know much about it, but I believe it is called lojong ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojong ).

Is it possible (and effective) to enlist the services of a debt collection agency in these cases?

I was one month away from starting college, and a month away from discovering that there were computers in the world that were permanently connected across vast distances (didn't r…

If you're marking used letters in a mask, why sort first?
