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.

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.

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.

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

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…
