Yet our bodies have excellent self-repairing facilities (as always, supported by appropriate diet, sleep, yada yada).

Guilty until proven innocent? Surely it is not unreasonable that if found guilty, the criminal would be required to produce that money or work to pay off debts.

This just isn't true. C is not portable assembler. It was never intended to be. I hear it claimed, and it is wrong every time somebody calls C a low-level language close to assembler. You can make some roughly reasonable assumptions abo

I skip by any site that does not mention a price, but the one thing they could do to get my interest is to at least mention a price range and what goes into the calculation of the lower and upper prices. Ballpark figures are nice, and some

There is only one study in this article, and it involves how a group of people adapted to a 14-hour sleep pattern. Other than that, there are no studies of importance here, nothing that confirms concretely that this kind of segmented sleep

I think it is inconsistent with the idea of allowing the instantiation of classes with default constructors, classes whose member variables may be given default values by the constructors.

I realize that you can lose your business if your equipment is confiscated and so forth, but isn't this akin to a temporary injunction? These stop a suspected-within-reason on-going crime and do not require a full trial to be placed. I do

It looks like the wording of this clause has people in conflict about its meaning. Isn't that enough to suggest that it is poorly written and can result in some judge's interpretation in the wrong direction expanding the law's power?

Wait... why can't we make Internet communication a talking point? The tech community has been wrestling with censorship, net neutrality, and the like for a long time now. Can't we frame this into a simple, non-extremist message and start a

This is what I fear. I fear that some hiring manager is going to make a career choice for me. I chose to interview with his company for a specific position, my choice of career path.

> Keeping silent is a form of a white lie. I grant that people may believe this, but I disagree that it is true. If you ask me now my social security number, and I silently refuse to answer, or I ignore you, am I a liar? Of course not

Strange. I see your post is from 10 mins ago, but many of his responses are much older than that. His name is highlighted in blue and has a green leaf next to it.

I have not told a lie in roughly ten years -- although something bugs me about that statement, rankles me deeply, so I suspect I may have said something wrong at some point. I do, however, keep a lot of things to myself. I can speak truth

I see it as a reminder that one still needs to worry about deployment because of OS version limitations, lack of upgrades, etc.

Yet I have had trouble with having the "right version of Java runtime" installed in order to run programs, especially on Mac OS X where you sometimes cannot upgrade Java without upgrading the OS. I think there is still an installation/comp

I agree. And so when I go to a website that I trust , I enable its JavaScript. NoScript makes it easy to enable JavaScript from specific places and permanently ban scripts from other places. I prefer having the whitelist approach so tha

AdBlock + NoScript. The web has been much more tolerable for a long time, thanks to these, and it is always amazing how much noise is on the page when I navigate with an alternate browser.

Erlang. It is a reasonable stepping stone towards Haskell and will introduce you to some new concepts and syntax. It is also a simple language. Then tackle Haskell, which will build upon what you learned in Erlang.

Update: I checked my systems today and could not get it to reproduce. I do not know if that gives Google Chrome a clean bill of health, but I have no more evidence of a phone home.

This is partially true. At one point I was trying to figure out how much I would enjoy Chrome, and one test I do with my applications is to have tcpdump in the background running while I run them. Whenever I went to any site, internal, ext

Thank you for the note. There is a large difference between slides used in a presentation and slides intended to be read like a book. With the former, it is pretty useless to have the slides out of context. With the latter, there is no n

My first thought about a jQuery standards team was that they would rate plugins on "adheres to jQuery interface standard". Too many times I grab some contributor's plugin for adding behavior to primitives, only to find out that they taint

If those become common enough, then you have reduced your symbols from 50 (your first example) to 11 (your second) where five ("in the and in the") are typical joining words. We can imagine password crackers can just combine the words in t

In some agreement... According to an article on "color for developers" that was posted at some point on HN, one gets a better "pop" contrast if there is a smidgeon of color. As I read it, using white or black, regardless of the other color

In fairness, "so much" fits the "weasel words" category ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel_word ). You and jrockway placed different values on the phrase because it is a "numerically vague expression". I admit to making similar expres

The argument on the delayed execution issue is that you could just wrap crazily-expensive-computation() in a lambda/sub that is executed conditionally.
