There usually is no explicit treaty. That's why it's a hard problem. People become so used to those around them being mostly reasonable* most of the time that when white supremacists show up to promote genocide, no specific line

Hierarchical instancing YEAAHHH!!!! Thanks guys; I no longer need to go write my own path tracer. (I say this because I really like the idea of things like Chunky (the pathtracer for Minecraft), but I'd rather be able to simply export

I suspect you are being facetious, but I've for a long time thought that this was actually an okay idea, even for systems less screwed up than PHP. When I need to write a function with lots of complex interactions, I mash the keyboard

That's cool I guess, but this article is more about setting up a load balancer than it is about HHVM. I was hoping for some juicy bit about it completely hosing up on some obscure PHP function.

I use a Git-tracked text file to-do list for both. I also shove random notes into it. It's a pretty effective system, and it never becomes obsoleted or loses my data.

You use zero and one-based counting for different things. Mixing them up is where fencepost errors come from. Say you're counting the length of a fence, so you are numbering the posts. Of course it's preferable to number the pos

I've had the misfortune of being forced to use Laravel on a project, and the larval connotations are pretty apt. Basically it's yet another PHP framework that adds megabytes of bloat to your application in order to give you alter

Next time we get an opportunity for a constitutional amendment, I suggest mandatory death penalty for any official found to have condoned or covered up the use of torture.

This is why the first thing I do on a new machine is make sure I can switch the arrow to point right for when I'm mousing with my left hand. Some systems make this easy (click the 'flip cursor' box, done!). Others make you s

It may be obvious to someone who bothers to think about it. I get the feeling most people never give it a thought, which is why we're in the predicament that we are.

That he futzed around with function name lengths instead of just fixing the hash function is a pretty good analogy for both the design of the language as a whole and to much of the code that's written in it. Queue "it's popu

Another missing option: I don't have one but it's in the mail. I have ordered a Solidoodle 3 and it shall arrive in 6-8 weeks, should my order be processed as expected.

"It would be near impossible to recoup your investments with that first sale, and so the more likely consequence is that research dollars would be put elsewhere," Great! Fuck Monsanto's investments and their fucking poison.

So what am I paying for? I wasn't born yesterday; I know what the terms mean. Get to the point because I don't have all day to look at some guy holding his hat on.

No. Not for me, anyway. Go seems okay. I tried to write a few small programs in it but spent a lot of time hunting around in the manual for how to do things. D (as in dlang.org) has a very similar feature set (static but not annoying typ

Stop with the misleading titles, people! I thought this meant you'd somehow make Dropbox run the website for you, which, while a pretty silly idea, would be interesting. But no, it's just a server that pulls files off Dropbox.

With sufficient metadata about resources this would be perfectly feasible. My thought, though, is that maintaining that metadata (so-and-so needs access to such-and-such, which changes oh-so-often and which is typically a binary blob 0.5-3
