If it is so good why ain't it is used more? pg has written about this [1], and the main reason he found was that popularity is always self-perpetuating . If one of the languages get a head start with libraries, it's usually easie

For people like me who would like to make PDF-reports with this kind of graph-style without resorting to Mathematica, take a look at this TeX-solution[1]. It utilizes the random step-decoration in Tikz to achieve a similar result. [1]: htt

People thinking "Oh god, not another x in y lines of z " (I first thought this as well), be open minded and try to read the code. It might not be in a language you know, but try and see if you can understand the last part: (run 1 [

I think we're disagreeing on definitions and words, not what's going to change. We already have "high security" psychiatric wards, but they want to increase the security and have specific people placed in those "especially high security" wa

The problem was that if the court declares Breivik insane, Norway couldn't (legally) put him in a high-security criminal prison. That's wrong - they can do that without Lex Breivik. The issue is when he's declared healthy, what would then

There have been no changes to the law to increase the powers of the police and security services, terrorism legislation remains the same and there have been no special provisions made for the trial of suspected terrorists. A white lie, I'

From the text: We now have all the information to compute the optimal two egg solution. While I prefer to read about algorithms and strategies in the fashion the author writes, I'm a bit sad that there's is no proof (or informal reasoning

Anyway, having followed through their examples and done some of my own Clojure programming, I ended up not so convinced that people who are good at solving story-style imperative problems will necessarily be good at solving math-style func

I think http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Programming_languages has a better list of programming language quotes. As this list, it contains a lot of ha-ha jokes, but at least it contains more of the "good" quotes too.

Isn't that just syntactic sugar[1]? I cannot see any kind of metaprogramming going on here - unless you can define attr_accessor and similar parts yourself. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_sugar

Ah, I see. So this falls into the category of "very hard to fabricate"-evidence, if I get you right. Then, that makes it reasonable to use it as evidence. Just a though experiment: Would a mobile phone with these possibilities (sending mess

I find evidence from mobile phones to be potentially problematic. If they track your position, you could just leave your mobile phone home when doing crimes, and say that you are home (You can tape it to your dog to make more realistic move

Yeah, that's hotswap in practical use. When using debug mode in Eclipse, you're able hotswap - which basically means that you can change the content of a method while the program is running. When the method is called again, the new content

As a person who read about studies like these, how do I filter out the "real" studies versus the studies blown out of proportions? I've read Ben Goldacre's Bad Science (which I highly recommend), but I don't have the time to do much resea

The main problem with the distros available today is their lack of non-free software. No matter how much you or I like free software, Minecraft can't run as good on OpenJDK as on Sun JDK, and I automatically install the proprietary Flash ve

As far as I know, 0! = 1, so I assume you meant non-negative integers instead of positive integers?

The point he's making is that work, art and design done by the author doesn't have anything to do with the arguments he puts forward in the article/blogpost. If the arguments he uses are wrong, point that out and explain why they are wrong.

If you've gone through this book and want to learn more ways to use statistics and probability, you should look at the videos from mathematicalmonk[1] on youtube - he's like Khan for Machine Learning and more rigorous probability. It helps

What is somewhat disappointing is that they don't tell if they have managed to solve these issues or not, as they were clearly commented on one year ago. Another major issue is the RAM-usage, as point cloud data will require a lot of memory

It's hard to compare the events and the psychological impact, but keep in mind that most of the victims are children, came from all over the country and knew the PM and rest of the parliament, especially the Labour party. As far as I know,

To elaborate on its usefullness: An XOR-swap is only useful when you do not have space for a new pointer, otherwise, making a new temporary variable will on most processors be faster than XOR-swapping.

In Norway, we have the opposite problem: Nearly half of the grades in some subjects at NTNU are Fs, and 40% of all students get an F every year . The institute for IT, maths and electronics implicitly says that "a high failure rate means t
