   It's more that D-Wave has gone off and abandoned the approach that everyone else is taking with their machine, so it's not clear if you can call it a quantum computer. Imagine if I had a box that didn't have a cpu, or anythin

   Why not use postfix notation, and make a stack based language like Forth? Even less parsing to do.

   If I didn't already know about the payments company, I'd think that final fantasy was moving off of DSs and onto mobile, to be honest.

   I think you'd need to slow down starcraft for it to be playable as the same game. People hit 60-100 actions per minute, like jumping around the map and directing units, setting build queues. Without hotkeys, you'd drop to around

   I also like MINUX's message passing style of interprocess communication.

    How about protein folding? That actually has a way to check that it was done correctly (NP hard). Sounds really awesome.

    Err, I'm a big fan of Rust and all, but I'm pretty sure c++ does have const and so on. What c++ lacks is a difference between owned and borrowed pointers, except by convention and so on.

    Is there a bash version of that? I don't care about where it is too much.

    Well, lets try Haskell syntax map f $ filter p xs what, don't like the reverse order? That's fixable. If we define # as reverse function application, it's xs # filter p # map f or filter p xs # map f

    This was a really neat discussion to watch. Devotional vs Observational semantics. When I'm in my algorithms class and we have a code snippet to find a minimum spanning tree, we don't even have some machine to compile it down to,

    Did you know about the snipping tool included with Win7? I think it replaces Greenshot.

    I know I use vim and shell out to fmt a lot when writing in TeX. Is there a version of fmt that is comment aware, or some flags to it?

    I am a mathematician, and the Law of Large Numbers just says that if you roll a die many times, then the average of your rolls will converge to the expected value, in some strong way. I think he is just applying Sturgeon's Law (90% of

    Which is a great boon, as I've edited the latex and recompiled it to fit perfectly on my Kindle. I really wish more people would open source their books.

    I am normally just a command line guy, but I really do prefer SourceTree for merging and moving/visualizing branches. And it makes it nice to add only hunks of a file.

    I like some of the differences where it was not constrained by Haskell's choices, like splitting up the Monad, Applicative, Functor instances, and namespacing of accessors. I also quite like the • for compose, with then some shims so t
