Let me give you an example from my experience. I wrote an elegant parser definition library, used for parsing specialized output of ... never mind. It had hierarchic specifications (regular expressions etc) of parsing states, along with ano

If you check the research on the subject of development speed, it suggests a given programmer generates around a certain number of pages of code in any language he/she is proficient in. And if the programmer learns another language, th

As a European which don't follow the subject of US police, my TV habits are not crime dramas, I just have to ask: WTF are police going to do with grenade launchers?! (Do they have 155 mm artillery too? :-) ) Are those for tear gas? I j

Not really relevant to anything, but I could never get why so few of the Finnish bands got so little international traction compared to Swedish bands. There are lots of good musicians, even without importing from St Petersburg, not only in

So "Hungarian notation" is a language joke too?! Damn, so many years and I never made the connection.

Let me add a couple of points re calling Gaza a concentration camp: 1. Gaza has among the highest population growths on the planet. Anyone implying organized murder is ... well, to not be impolite I also have to say: "is an offense to

Uh, from the article: >>barely one in 20 of the population under the age of 15 >>[the population] more than halved again, to below 10,000 So 10K/20 == 500.

I assume this is posted and up voted now because of the similarities to Putin? Anyway, let me recommend "Down and out in Paris and London". It taught me more about the human condition, and why you want to stamp out poverty and let

Interesting, you know more than me but afaik it is correct. Both in facts and arguably in moral. Since you brought up Rome in discussing payback for warfare, you could also ask "Cui bono" here -- "who benefits?" A war is

How about if we put it like this? When a democracy has a war with a dictatorship it is similar to when the police defends civilians from violence. (So this don't get into a shouting match: Check "democratic peace theory". I a

Compatriots? If you mean the Swedes, they should be OK (except for the grief they create themselves). Sweden is probably not on Putin's top 10 list... :-) :-( Or do you mean Emacs/Perl/JavaScript guys? :-)

Good to see that you can take facts pipy -- and thanks xi for doing better than I did in discussing. I -- and probably most people -- have been in the situation where we lost contact with reality, because we have read too much spin, even if

It is easy to promise that for people which don't "argue" by dismissing Wikipedia, BBC etc -- because they have posted a youtube link somewhere where they interpret what someone said as different. That is arguably ruder. [Edi

Those would probably have existed by now, without the terror. As I've read about it: People were commuting from both the West Bank and Gaza into Israel to work, before the terrorism got too bad. People in Israel used to go with their c

The real problem is that this is how criminals can create a "no go" area for the police. That is the first step to ghettos controlled by criminals. So Sweden seems to go the way of Brazil's favelas. Note that Brazil is going
