To elaborate: > "Either" isn't ordered list of elements. Although the Either<T,U> type looks like a pair definition, an Either<T,U> return value contains only one element of type T or U.

I know I'm being pedantic here, but I'm pretty sure you haven't verified it. To do that, you would have to visit every Wikipedia article.

Q1 and Q2 are horrible, but it picks up a bit after that. Q1: I see a problem on all lines 1 through 6: The class doesn't do anything. There is also no documentation as to what it is intended to do. Here it becomes, as leon_ also comme

Depends on what you use the TL;DR for. For me, the TL;DR summary helps me get the gist of the article and then decide whether I should read the whole thing or not. If I just go ahead and read, and after 1200 words, the author promotes inh

All good, just a nitpick: You don't need a unique parent to have a tree. You don't even need directed edges. :) The purest definition of a tree graph is "a graph with no cycles".

I actually get allergic reactions to shopping malls. I'm not kidding; dry eyes, headache and joint pains slowly start to show up if I spend more than 30 minutes inside one. Consequently, I tend shop for clothes almost as if it was a milita

A problem is that "hacker" is a good, short word. Descriptive competing phrases like "cyber criminal" are clumsy by comparison, and "cracker" is just equally good and short. At least the French, by refusing to use English words, have fou

Skip past points 1. and 2. They are just embarrasing to read. The rest of the points are valid for discussion.

> You say "1.0/0.0 == +infinity" like it should be surprising, but it makes perfect intuitive sense to me. But it isn't correct. 1/0 is undefined. 1/x approaches infinity as x approaches 0 from the positive side. 1/x approaches nega

According to my calculations, the Japan earthquake will not require us to adjust a leap second - at least not within the next ~761 years. The Japan earthquake shortened the day length by 1.8 microseconds. [1] 1.8 microseconds * 365.25 days
