No matter how closely together the cars can drive, as long as you have an engine and a crash-resistant shell around each passenger, it will never be as space-efficient was the 35' Gillig Advantage I am sitting in right now. IMO the best app

I am fairly sure that most of the streams and sockets would get closed when the interpreter exited regardless. Also, in accordance to the principle of "explicit is better than implicit," it's generally better to avoid messing with global st

A friend of mind posted this article on Facebook earlier: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/201... The summary is that in the aftermath of this election, Democrats and their allies are not just celebrating the fact

One of my coworkers and I both live around the same area. I commute to work via bus, he drives (occasionally we carpool, but our schedules are different most days). He doesn't understand why I would take the bus when it's a fifty-minute rid

While driverless cars do provide advantages over normal cars, there are two counterpoints I would like to make. First, there are people who simply will not trust the driverless cars. I was talking to a friend yesterday who said that he woul

Annotations are not required to use either of those libraries. Doctrine allows mapping information to be defined in XML or YAML files. For Symfony, the @Template annotation is not part of the core at all: it is part of the SensioFrameworkEx

An idea I had the other day is a "resurrect" feature. If you have X karma and showdead turned on, you have an upvote link for comments made by hellbanned users (unless a moderator killed that comment specifically). Two upvotes by non-hellba

The DCPU isn't byte-addressable - all memory addresses refer to 16-bit words. Endianness mixups would result in swapping 16-bit words, not 8-bit bytes.

On the subway, it's probably harder to get data to the TVS since it would be transmitting from underneath tons of concrete. They could tie it into the train control system, but they probably don't want to connect that to the Internet to pre

This is like publishing the comparative performances of a Nissan Altima, a Ford F-150, a Honda Odyssey, a Smart Fortwo, a Kawasaki Ninja, and a Gillig Advantage. Sure, it's possible to determine which one has the best land speed, range, and

The examples you give are equivalents to Enumerable#map, not Enumerable#each. In JavaScript, the closest equivalent to #each is Array.forEach(). In C# and Python, while methods equivalent to #each may exist (I'd have to double-check the doc

Great idea! Now how drunk do I need to get Systems so they will actually install Go on our servers? Because I'm sure that they would just love giving several thousand students, staff, and faculty the ability to run arbitrary machine code!

I haven't finished it yet...as I said, it's quite dense. From what I gather so far, it starts out at the "Go Tour" level and works its way up to the "Effective Go" level. Besides the package references, I don't think golang.org really has a

I'm pretty sure you get downvoting powers at 500 karma. (At least, that's about when I got them. I have heard rumors that it fluctuates, and like all the mechanics of Hacker News, the precise rules are proprietary secret sauce.)
