If you added a trivial wait of random length before each response, mightn't you see non-alternating behavior at times?

As a former Austinite, I can say that it's very easy to forget that you're in Texas when living in Austin. This creates the good feeling of being an oasis and the bad feeling of being a bubble.

Submitted an issue for this. Good catch.

Thanks for the additional information on antlr. I stumbled upon it last month when doing some prep work for long-term planning at my company. I immediately wished I could rip out most of the custom code my team had written for handling ARFF

UPDATE: Either the maintainers are responding to feedback or, as speculated downthread, some A/B testing is going on. If the latter is the case, pick B, for the love of all that is holy!

I might cut them a bit more slack if the image to the CTA wasn't for "Typography Crash Course"! Thanks for the reminder on Constrast Rebellion.

I bumped into #1.4 (patented research) not too long ago -- I wanted to try out Bi-Normal Separation for feature space reduction in a machine learning classifier, but BNS comes out of HP Labs and would need to be licensed. I think the wordin

Would it be acceptable to set the form's submit button to disabled in the HTML, attaching the custom event handler and enabling the submit button in a document-final script? Seems like you still get reasonable behavior in the low-bandwidth

Just under 5'9", which I suppose is a fairly average height. Re: vaguely viable, I'd say my main prima facie drawback is very thin hair on top. There's no doubt in my mind that shorter men have a tougher time, but I don't think it's limit

I disagree utterly. There's a significant number of people looking for real relationships on OKC -- you just need to find out whether the other person is on the same page as you ASAP (profile, messages, first few dates). Thanks to OKC I wen

Of course you can have seven perpendicular lines. It's as easy as embedding a seven-dimensional graphic.

I think this would be quite valuable -- provide a second input for sample text and highlight the path taken. Bonus points for figuring out a way to handle multiple sample inputs, showing capturing group output, etc.

I thought the business visitor case might not apply because he was hoping to move for several years, but it might be worth looking into the conditions for renewal (though 5 renewals might be pushing his luck). The wording on the NAFTA bit d

If you're okay with a slower pace of life and plenty of light rain, Victoria is great. Being in my late 20's and having moved from Austin, I miss having the abundance of late-night venues and stellar cultural events, but Victoria isn't with

I moved from Austin, TX to Victoria, BC (still on work permit). To me, your simple plan seems nigh unachievable. From the Canadian government's point of view, what you have proposed sounds like taking a lot more than you give. From the CIC

My current employers have invested in the Birkman method[0][1], which many people at the company see as quite helpful. I remain skeptical, but then again I found the Enneagram[2] to be helpful in giving me some guidance during a particularl

Submitting the link of a dead site has never really made any sense to me in the first place. If the company has a separate status page, post the most specific URL from that page. If not, perhaps an external checker like http://www.isup.me

Can you clarify "broken"? In this context there is a world of difference between "inaccurately implemented" and "slow".

by Cyranix 14y ago
Agreed. "Business value" shouldn't be a justification for constant quick-and-dirty work; otherwise, the implication is that you don't see long term value in your business. If you always budget some portion of time for paying off technical d

Do you think it would be reasonable to make this a joint Victoria/Vancouver group? Ferry times might make it a non-starter, but thought I should float it out there...
