Yeah, I wish Lua hadn't taken undefined and nil to be the same thing given the way tables work in it. Most of the time it doesn't matter, thankfully. Sometimes you bump into it. A sigil value can work too if you…
I agree with this, mostly. I feel that Trump's campaign has already damaged the country in a very profound way that will take years for us to recover from as a people. But, I don't see Trump suddenly being the adult in…
Wow, I never thought they'd open source Chez. This is really cool.
I'm an OMSCS student. Udacity is fine. It serves its purpose. Sometimes it looks like the poor instructors are getting a double whammy of Georgia heat and hot spotlights, but the lectures are pretty high quality. I'm…
Also an OMSCS student. Funny. On my iPad, it's less than straightforward to use Udacity on the website, and I've never been able to get the mobile app for the GT login. I have my IOS course bookmarked so I can watch the…
The people who Fox News caters to the most are suburbanites. Most people way out here are lukewarm on Fox News. They're just... different. They agree with some things that I imagine would be popular in big coastal…
Hey! I really love Lua. I'd recommend reading Programming in Lua (whatever the latest edition is) and Lua Programming Gems. Unfortunately, Lua is one of those languages that isn't written about a lot because its use…
I don't think he would build a computer. 10k years ago was before writing. I imagine if anyone were transported that far back they'd want to focus on the stuff that has a huge impact (hygiene, food, basic medicine,…
I'm from the South and hear this all the time. I have no idea how many people are actually descended from the Cherokee (they were one of the larger groups in the South). I have a different crackpot theory. Historically,…
This is interesting. Is there anyone who has worked in companies like this willing to talk about how it ends up working out? I've never been in sales but I've never heard of companies not implementing commission.
As much as I love dynamic languages, I have to disagree friend. :( Static typing confers more benefits than just enforcing a self-documenting type check on your code. It adds a level of expressiveness about datatypes to…
Yeah, that part of the article I feel is off. I've never been on a retreat but I do sit. It's definitely an experience that I think people should try, but it doesn't really bear any resemblance to a trip (at least for…
Yeah, this is a pet peeve of mine. As far as I know, right now it's structurally impossible to have Congress make real reform, or even legislate effectively. There have been a string of these "inside" articles from…
There's no good way to easily gauge scheme with this site. At first I typed in "scheme programming language" and came up with 250 results, "scheme lisp" provided something slightly more relevant, but with only 45. I…
I think what all of these articles point to is that it's expensive or time consuming to raise kids, so people simply don't have them. It seems like the key to raising fertility rates is just to provide a good…
Compare with this article from a few months back: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/10/world/europe/10iht-sweden.... . While this article isn't exclusively about just birth rate, it notes that Sweden has one of the higher…
Maybe. It depends on if we're talking about individual applications or just the desktop experience in general. The thing about people using applications like Photoshop and Word is that they have established workflows…
