    I thought that was for infix expressions with order of operations?

    I agree that it's not appropriate here, but in general; people do it because male forced envelopment victims get congratulated, male domestic violence victims that call for help ar…

    We shouldn't allow disfunctional individuals to participate in our communities, but I think at the point where you photoshop nudes to damage someone's reputation, a therapist would…

    Yes, well done. But I've a policy against arguing with trolls so I can't be baited.

    Yes. I took some Coursera classes and it was better than reading the relevant Wikipedia articles in terms of how much I learned and retained. Net win for education IMO.

    > not paying is stealing > that's not how the law works You are a hypocrite, you're just frothing at the mouth claiming anything you'd like even if it's self-contradictory. Coupled…

    It would be nice if you had wrote about this dilemma without making a strawman argument. It's a fact that DRM only inconveniences the paying customers. You of all people should kno…

    These have facinated me for a while. I wish there was a nice open source implementation of the McEliece cryptosystem to try out.

    That doesn't make it right.

    I'm not "upgrading" to Lion ever. Their next software update will determine whether or not I buy a Mac again.

    Why is "banging the beehive" not considered to be manipulating the market?

    I first read about it on wingolog.org, and IIRC there was mention of an implementation of Guile using it. I think that supports your paper as evidence. Very cool technique, but I w…

    Like what? I thought the GIL and GC forcing COW were the largest problems bar none.

    Jailbroken iPhones have a way to reject requests to domains like Flurry. Regular iPhones not so much.

    Your intended meaning was very clear since you used parenthesized qualifiers. IMO any argument on your usage is pedantic at best, but I would have put it as perceived and empirical…

    I think in that case it would be better to make it variadic on input arrays, like map(makeInterval, array, array.tail())

    Techcrunch cannot be considered a reputable news source for far more reasons than that.

    No, IDEs make you more productive. It's like declaring that your blue screwdriver is better than their red screwdriver.

    I bet if you pay them what they expect to get from their own companies, they'll stop fucking around and get right on it.

    No thank you, Christian Scientists are "experimental" enough. We don't need the Tim Ferrises of the world selling snake oil to parents (as medicine).

    I see, I thought you were using the proxy as normal and had programmatically made new classes also. But you are creating an object and then setting its class to the proxy. Neat.

    Ah, I misunderstood you. You're right that our own opinions aren't really relevant without a study.

    Sexual selection has been observed in other animals. It's inaccurate to say that all men or all women are alike but it's not far fetched to think humans have certain behavioral tre…

    I misread you as running the original method on the proxy object. But if you don't, aren't you missing methods you do want to track called from methods you don't?

    This kind of stuff is awesome. I made a profiler for ObjC that did a similar thing, but by programmatically creating a new subclass and only profiling certain instances. On your pr…
