Another way to do this is with Reverse Polish Notation (as in forth); it has an avid but non-mainstream following. I'd say it's only a problem if you want to go mainstream.

Is the iPhone a big hit? I thought it was a relatively small proportion of the total phone market.

Yes, the article says the costs are "passed on to consumers". Because goods are prices the same no matter how you buy, I think this means that the price increase is passed on to all consumers, whether they pay by VISA or not.

Thanks, are the details of the basis of that public now? Since the code was released open source, it doesn't seem to be a technology IP acquisition (even though they appeared to have unpublicized patents). I got the impression that it was m

This reminds me of a "finder's fee", where you pay someone for recommending your product. It's similar, because the recommender has an incentive to promote your product, regardless of whether it is appropriate for the buyer or not. I know t

That makes sense, thanks; if you have an examples, I tend to find them very educational and helpful.

I've always thought it was standard practice to convert to non-left recursive form (when it will be implemented as a recursive descent parser, as it is here). I would have thought, that for pedagogical purposes, this would be of special imp

Do you have some examples in mind for 1. pure technology play? I ask because that may be where I'm headed - thanks!

If they had an actual prototype, that's what they'd be showing, instead of a mockup, yes?

It's a fascinating idea, especially what would their language (syntax) be like if they didn't have the concepts (semantics). Or would it turn out that they do have enough in the way of concepts, and have only lacked the language to expres

Good point, thanks, I was thinking I should have addressed that. The thing was that no one was digging ditches. Yes, given a choice, it would be more efficient to use unskilled labour than a surgeon... but it would be better to have a surge

To clarify his terminology: the "real programmer" values the means ; the "dude" values the ends . It's a question of what one values , and this does tend to be mutually exclusive, in the specific sense that when they are in conflict, y

Run the java app as a server. I did this with javac, and went from 5000ms (ant) to 200ms (averages). It gets faster each time it runs, enormous speedup after the first run; but still very significant for the next 10; and continuing at a slo

"make mistakes and learn from them". So obvious, well-known and true... but it has a certain reassuring omph when someone at the absolute top of their field says it, with examples from their experience. It doesn't need to be right the first

This guy is so cool. He's like world class, a pioneer, a revolutionary. And yet he's talking about all this stuff as if he was digging ditches... that he's really into. He cares about it for its own sake. The way he describes that story-tel

It's so refreshing and simplifying to look at what people need - what is actually useful and helpful to them - rather than what is technically "cool" at the moment.

I probably shouldn't say "crap", it just sounded funny to be so emphatic. I think, personally, my confusion really comes from xml schema's use of it, in its rules about qualified vs. unqualified etc. http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/#NS

pedantry-activate: That is a complaint about DTDs, not XML. DTD's are part of the XML specification. While I know what you mean, that DTD's are schema language, and it is natural to think of "XML" as being purely instances within that lan

The input method is what stops the iPhone from being a "general computer". The iPhone is read-mostly. Great for web-browsing and games, but while you can write emails/documents on it, it's... sub-optimal. Without a better input method, a
