The reasoning of "it's a rape joke because rapists say it" is flawed. Rapists could say plenty of other things (e.g. "shut up") which, if repeated, aren't considered to be rape jokes; and there are situations w

This might even be the one with full free 3G browsing, full stop. I believe I remember that being available on the K3 Keyboard and the DX.

Something like this, but with a progress bar instead of a generic loading thing, would also be very nice.

Because some idiot may get the formulae wrong? I don't think there was an actual Excel bug recently, just PEBKAC errors.

A lot of good points there, and a notable exception to Betteridge's law.

It's not explicitly measuring the time from emission to reception of individual pulses, that would be (pretty much) impossible with light. Instead, it sends out periodic pulses of light, and measures the phase offset of the lighting of resu

To be fair, it's a bit of a creepy thing to do. Just because you _can_ do something, doesn't mean you _should_.

Because it's a human being treated inhumanely?

I don't know, in this case, with a bit of reformatting the switch can look pretty similar: function processUserInput(command) { switch (command) { case "north": movePlayer("north"); break; case "east

Yeah, that's basically what I do too. No \v on trivial regexes, \v on ones where there's more than one or two groups.

It's not about the actual difficulty of the games, it's about what sort of problems can be encoded using the gameplay.

The three most difficult things in programming: naming, cache invalidation, one and threadoff errors safety.

So like GPGPU, but with specialised parts of the brain instead? That's pretty cool.

Aresveepee, obviously. Rolls off the tongue.

Supercomputer =/= "a fast computer".

What languages are supported? The examples look like C#?

I very curious what the funeral will be like -- I imagine there will have to be a hell of a lot of security to protect the body and attendees.

As much as I hate to disagree with Aza Raskin, this is possibly the worst example of icons becoming obscure. The floppy disk icon is hardly going anywhere; it's pretty much ubiquitous and universally recognised, despite having lost the orig

There is also pyclewn, a plugin for vim that lets you interface with gdb. http://pyclewn.sourceforge.net/

Arguably, that's actually a messed up E rather than a C.

I was replying specifically to the question in the comment asking: "What harsh conditions are there in the side of a building that don't exist in nature? ([...] it would be nice for him to specify)". Whether those specified conditions are a

He lists several. Actually, most of the article is listing these conditions. > It’s hot, cold, windy, the rain lashes at you, and the snow and sleet pelt you at high velocity. > Wind is perhaps the most formidable force trees face a

I'm an adult -- well, close enough, 25 -- and my mother is a programmer (mostly C#).

We're also introducing Python in the Cambridge CS course for computer vision practicals.

Also the same. I could sort of recognise the Amazon one once I knew which one it was, but even then I wasn't 100% sure.

One of the false assumptions you're making here is that CS == programming. There's a difference between being a civil engineer, where you have to be able to calculate loads on beams, and being a physicist, where you try to understand why be
