Yes, and I've done that before. However, there is still overhead in switching underlying data structures when switching between the two and making sure you don't break the STM among other things. It's hard to share data models between the

No, but I am saying that switching between them is not as easy as grabbing a different tool. The easiest place to switch languages is between abstraction layers or between functional components/processes. These language separations do not

OO is not "just a tool", because it's often coupled with a language. A wrench is "just a tool" because I can always reach over for my socket set if that seems to fit better. Once I'm in Java, I am locked into a whole ecosystem and Java wo

Yes. This is exactly why I wasn't happy with the original. If people live to be 90 and die of heart disease, that is a huge victory. In the chart I linked, it shows that cancer and heart disease start being the number 1 and 2 killers at

I would be much more interested in a breakdown by age group with a representation of how large a percent of the total that represents. It seems to me that as we age, we have to die of something. I would be a lot more interested in why we d

Umm. Poor people who learn philosophy understand the world better and might be better equipped to influence it. I guess that was the point. The author rambled a lot and implied a lot without saying much concrete. Pretty poor writing if t

It's been a few years since I read it, but I remember Snow Crash being filled will about 100 pages of explanation about the development of language in Mesopotamia and the basis of the plot still didn't make any sense. I'm concerned how the

I just want to say congratz on being part of making a great game. The opening level with the Normandy landing where the cinematics led into the level was amazing. I remember feeling terrible giving the orders for the soldiers to move out

Hrm, Very interesting response. Software and media are both zero marginal cost products, so when someone pirates it, I don't consider it theft. Left to run rampant, piracy could create a situation where it wasn't viable to run that busines

Yes, and when they go out of business and post their sad little page about how content producers can't make money in this age of piracy, are you going to believe them and support the next internet clampdown legislation, or are you going to

I'm not talking about self justification here, i'm talking about business and politics. Lately the entertainment industry has been campaigning for government intervention to clamp down on the internet because content producers can't make e

I like your comment but you are confusing the issue. Your argument is that processed food is bad for you and cheaper because of production scale and I completely agree. My point is that if I take two meals and put them in front of someone

Ok. That's fine. But I now fully consider piracy for HBO to be a business decision and I don't want to hear any moral condemnation and cries for government intervention from them.

Salt is a very important part of a human's diet and was a major trade item for all of recorded history. Salt has been used as a preservative for meat for as long as I'm aware of. Animals often sit and lick natural salt deposits. There is

There was an idea in 'Fat Head' where the narrator pokes fun at the idea that we are a species who's evolution has made us so that we crave foods that are actually killing us. It's not proof that we can't crave foods like sugar, fats and s

That is a very practical definition for economic models but that doesn't make it complete. Your link says value within a market, and a single offer for a company by Google does not automatically qualify as a market and therefor determine v

My dad came to me just the other day and told me he didn't like the stories about Google recording every page he searched for, so I told him to use DDG. Heck if I know how big the market is, but if my parents care without me telling them,

I want to take this seriously, but I just can't stop laughing at the picture of the stereotypical college guy trying to impress girls. If this thing gets made, I want to hear from the first guy who gets laid with his gTar on easy mode.

I can't get the same result now. I might have just fat fingered it. Really like the site btw!

It doesn't show up when you actually search for it though:( I think this is a sev1 defect and you should fix it immediately:)

And worse than that, the y-axis range shifts. For example, the range on the Fat vs. Normal chart is much smaller than the surrounding charts, giving the illusion that the spread is much larger than it is. (site is down or I'd link).

There is a big difference between what a bill says it does and what it will actually do. In this case, I am very confident that this bill will not improve the security problem you describe. I'm not even sure it's possible to write such a

The article lists photobucket as having 25 million uniques in March '07. Looks like it has 16 million today and in a steep decline. http://siteanalytics.compete.com/photobucket.com/

Not exactly. If you look on your friendly dollar bill, you will see "this note is legal tender for all debts public and private." Turns out USG says you can pay both taxes and court settlements with that paper. It's not just a belief tha

Most logins are just a way of showing that you are the same person that logged in previously. Gmail is an often public identifier that could link to you IRL.

When I collect all of the Tops '88 baseball cards, I don't suddenly own the NY Yankees. Stocks have fundamental value beyond novelty.

I think we are getting very little for our 10 billion and I don't think giving them more money will get us more space. As for the military budget, I do believe we spend too much there, but taking that money and having NASA waste it instead

Huh? Did you just make this up? How can you possibly know the relative risk of those two things?

I keep hearing this argument and I'm always underwhelmed. .5% of the federal budget sounds like a huge amount of money to me. Sure, it's only a small fraction here and space can be important, but this has to be balanced against cancer res
