Where does it imply that?

How is that jumping to conclusions? He's not saying that he thinks they stole it. He just wants a clear explanation of what happened. I don't see pitchforks, just a demand for a response.

I think that would apply if this weren't money-related. When your money mysteriously goes missing and nobody's telling you why, I think that's cause for concern.

Seems a little disingenuous to claim they're the first tablet to have side-by-side multitasking when the Surface lets you do just that.

I don't think rapid fluctuation is a problem. I think Bitcoin has a future as a transfer medium. Person A converts their money into BTC and sends it to Person B, who immediately converts it back into "real" money. As long as the conversions

I believe you're free to use any Git repo you want, including one on your own server.

Yeah, that phrase is a bit suspect. It could easily mean "teaching people how to effectively deal with our dumb routing."

A bad review is not the same thing as a dishonest review. It wasn't that Broder simply disliked the car. Musk felt he had falsified data to make Tesla look bad.

Interesting -- he seems to be saying that they'll explain all about the problem, but not do anything about it.

I always like to know how free services like this plan to make money. Their careers page ( http://www.gameclosure.com/careers.html ) says they're hiring and have "top-tier funding," so obviously they're going to need to monetize somehow. Y

He could also offer different levels of review. Sometimes I want my writing picked apart for the slightest error, but at other times I want broader, more general feedback. Nate said it perfectly with So if you have a short doc you'll get l

Note that you proofread Nate Kontny's blog, not Mobileworks' dogfooded blog as suggested.

Ahh, looks like I misunderstood, thanks. But will developers/users really flock to Opera just because it has a fast JIT? For me, Opera is just something to check for compliance.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I very well may be), but isn't the JS runtime separate from the rendering engine? I was under the impression that Chrome uses WebKit for rendering and V8 for JS. So, even if Opera switches over to WebKit, that s

I think one of the big draws of credentials is the ability to measure your success. Getting into a great school or landing an important job is a lot easier to quantify than startup success. A credentialed life might be much less exciting, b

I wonder if there's a generalized solution to this issue; that is, the inability to pay for most things using Bitcoin. If I remember correctly, Visa will let you create a "virtual" credit card so you can shop online without giving out your

Do you know JavaScript yet? That's essential for front-end development, and if you get pretty good at it you can use it serverside with Node.js

Ahh, I was assuming the parent to my comment was implying that people who don't already have Mathematica should check it out for general-purpose programming. If you've already bought Mathematica, great, use it for whatever you want! Howev

by RaphiePS 14y ago
Seems like everyone's misunderstanding my sentiment--now that I look back, I was pretty unclear. I'm not arguing that Mathematica is too expensive. I think it's worth the money and more for math/science/engineering work. I was glad to pa

I'm not arguing that it's a bad language. I was happy to pay up. It perfectly suits my needs. I'm just saying that it'd be a ridiculous "general-purpose" language because anyone who wants to use it must shell out nearly a third of a grand.

by RaphiePS 14y ago
I love Mathematica and use it nearly every day. However, I would not recommend it as general purpose language because of its proprietary nature. The $295 barrier to entry is way too high. Unless there are better interpreters than Mathics (w

I tried it out by sending him an email. Interestingly enough, the average response time for a yes/no question is by far the longest (5 days vs 3 days for a long email). Shouldn't responding to simple yes/no be much faster than reading a lo

Why does it matter?

by RaphiePS 14y ago
See my comment above. The core difference is that (list ...) evaluates what's inside. So (list (+ 1 2)) returns (list 3). ' doesn't evaluate anything. So '((+ 1 2)) returns '((+ 1 2)).

The only Lisp I know is Racket (basically Scheme), so take the following with a grain of salt. '(foo bar baz) is almost the same thing as (list foo bar baz). However, ' also makes the contents of the list into symbols, not variable refere

The fact that you can see the passwords is a bit worrying.

Another downside is that your money is tied up in a company that could fail. In the event that Swapidy goes under, there's no guarantee that you could get all your money out safely. I think Swapidy is a great idea -- a dynamically-priced, p

Why does using virtual vs. real currency affect your ability to dynamically adjust prices?
