You're not wrong, precisely, but the former method has the virtues of simplicity, forthrightness, and the presentation of a salutary example to others who might find themselves in a similar position. Also, people from the West have bee

There's enough bandwidth for yes-or-no questions, right? I wonder if anyone will ever come up with the courage to ask such a patient "Do you want to die?"

For people to settle their differences like reasonable adults really isn't on the menu in the United States lately.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what the sequence of events was there. As best I've been able to work out, whatever juvenile oaf created the "dongml" repo added Shaw to it in order to harass him somehow, and Shaw

I'm really hoping there's at least one submission which consists of a BBC BASIC interpreter written in C and compiled via asm.js into Javascript, thus satisfying the contest's requirements regarding platforms, and which execu

Very little is obvious from looking at that code. I'm sure nonetheless that someone can and will deduce the format and produce workable dungeon files, but whether they have any resemblance to the originals is something only Richard Gar

Is it just me, or does this game strongly appear to be a roguelike that was written three years or so prior to Rogue? Update: Also, I'm no longer familiar with any BASIC dialect, and I've never been familiar with any that ran on a

Having spent over a year working with Magento's community edition, it seems to me that, for a developer unfamiliar with it, the reaction it's likeliest to inspire would be panicked flight.

I missed that bit the first time through. That seems to me to fall well on the wrong side of the line between "strong family ties" and "just plain not equipped to cope".

That makes sense; to oversimplify somewhat, the boomers tended to be really crap as parents, resulting in a generation (my generation, more or less) who are absolutely adamant that they won't inflict the same on their own kids. This se

Perhaps it would help to see that pronunciation rendered in IPA for English [0]: /ˈiː eɪ .və.ˌskrɪpt/ Note particularly the italicized phoneme ( eɪ ), which corresponds to the "long A" sound in English, e.g., the 'a

That's C-x o; C-x C-o in Emacs runs delete-blank-lines, and I'm not sure what it does in DrRacket.

Either you're doing a lousy job of putting Harris's thesis across, or the thesis itself is gibberish. Whichever is so, you would've added more to this discussion by not posting this comment at all, than by doing so in its cur

> If doctors have the final say on all matters, they don't have a patient - they have a subject. "Extremist language" indeed, and true only in cases where the doctor can forbid the patient from going to another doctor.

True, but amazingly enough this is one of the two times per day when Gladwell's stopped clock happens to coincide with the actual time.

Oh? I've never been all that close to the SV startup scene, and as far as I've been able to tell, that was mock-worthy already. Many good things have come from startups, but maintaining a sense of perspective is a good thing, too.

The Zeo Sleep Manager Pro [1] looks like probably your best bet. Unfortunately, Zeo closed its doors about a year ago, which may make it difficult both to find the product available for purchase in the first place, and to get support for it
