The alternative being closing the doors on the person's arm and likely injuring them to avoid a minor incovenience?

The precondition on the link you shared has -1 <= x && x <= 1, so 99 is way outside of that range. But even so, testing for x=1, which is supposed to be inside that range, 0.5 does…

I'm guessing their issue isn't about the vowel, it's about the number mismatch between the singular article "an" and the plural noun phrase "frequently asked questions".

It can change sometimes, but not very reliably. For example try this: "I’m not sure our professional values are currently aligned, but I wish you the best in your future endeavors.…

Example 1 is a declaration in Go. Example 3 is a declaration in Python.

I guess the reasoning assumes that you have multiple eggs in your basket. A 95% chance of failure is bad if you're pinning the whole business on it, but if you have a variety of 5%…

> Most twelve month olds struggle to support their head I don't know about the other claims, but this one is false. It would be somewhat concerning if a 6-month-old struggled to su…

Which one do you have in mind? For each of those three constraints mentioned, I can think of a reason why it's not like the other two, but there's not one in particular that seems …

Their example "understanding and translating vertical Chinese spring couplets to English" has a lot of mistakes in it. I'm guessing the person writing the blog post to show off tha…

How is the gameplay related to the information? The connection seems pretty contrived to me.

Why isn't SendGrid on the list? It seems to have a similar pricing level

If people want to live in rural areas, that's fine by me. They don't particularly contribute to the problems with car-centric infrastructure in the US. The main complaints are how …

It looks like all of the templates are basically listing steps or showing a list of facts. Most of my favorite infographics involve some sort of graph or chart that visualizes data…

Since it's 5 minutes I'm wondering if it's just "that's how the web works by default". I remember a while ago I was doing a long-running calculation on an POST request and was tryi…

What's wrong with that? If America was for some reason invaded by Chinese infantry, I would certainly prefer that the soldiers were properly trained to avoid civilian casualties.

And Google Cloud Platform

Theoretically, if you choose the first two points at random, then you have a 50-50 chance of guessing right on the third guess (the two circles from the first two guesses have at m…

It makes sense that more developed countries would have lower optimism. If the previous generation already had a decent quality-of-life, there's less reason to assume that the next…

> You need tens of millions before I could call you huge That seems like an absurd standard to me. The three largest employers in the world (by number of employees) are 1. The U.S.…

I think the parsing method in this article was borrowed from Crockford's TDOP article, except it parses a simpler language than Javascript.

There is a slight snag that arguments to a function are eagerly evaluated. A built-in if function would be more useful as a special form.

I'm not sure I'd be so quick to say it's not turing complete--the language includes building functions (not first-class functions though), but it might be possible that they can be…
