Favouring dash over underscore to break words in variable names doesn't preclude using underscores in variables names ever. A sometimes used _ is okay. Its_using_it_almost_all_the_time_that_the_author_is_questioning.

if (getcwd(cwd, sizeof(cwd)) != NULL) ; else perror("getcwd() error"); Is that common? What's the advantages over the below? if (... == NULL) { perror(...); }

I think their point was that Ctrl+Z is more intuitive than Ctrl+Shift+T, though I don't necessarily agree with that.

'if's returning a value is from expression oriented languages, not just functional. Functional languages are by necessity expression oriented because it makes no sense to have a statement in a functional language. However, not all expressio

You can set up an alternative number, and can also print out a bunch of one-time use codes. One of these methods should be enough to log in and change the settings.

Isn't passing messages to boolean an OO concept, not a functional one? Haskell98 defines if-then-else as a syntactic construct.

According to Kickstarter [1] the success rate was 43% in 2010 and 46% in 2011. Wikipedia [2] suggests the success rate so far in 2012 is 44%, but the source is no longer available. I don't know if that's just the success rate of crossing th

Those things are pretty consistent in iOS too, if you follow the pretty well laid out conventions. Settings are in the settings app, search is at the top of a list etc. I guess the difference is with hardware buttons the app has little abil

One of the big things I like about CSS resets is it forces me to think about every design decision rather than just going with the 'sensible' browser defaults. I guess with discipline I can train myself to always think about things like the

While I guess it's needed to show off the features, the sample at the top of the page seems far too slow to bring in new characters. I don't want to have to sit around for 5 seconds before I can start reading. It's also very difficult to co

There are lots of people for who name and gender are hot topics. And with the "Like" buttons you /are/ forced to share your browsing history (no, being able to circumnavigate it by blocking it doesn't count)

I know a few people who haven't been invited - or have found out too late - about events because they were organised on Facebook and they're not on it. Those same people are regularly out of the loop in conversations their friends have on F

In this context PowerPoint is used as a description for a style of presentations (e.g. lots of bullet points) I think most people realise it would be the same if that style was done using Keynote or transparencies. But yeah, it's a shame Po

If it's anything like Twitter, it will appear in your stream out-of-sync with when it was posted, so it's guaranteed to appear near the top of your stream whether you're viewing it days after.

Its imperative nature is unrelated to TC. Non TC languages can be sufficiently complex as to make analysis difficult. I don't see any of the risks of js as linked to TC in any meaningful way beyond a very hand-wavey "TC tends to lead to com

The Google+ app could register it's own url scheme, and then the Google+ website can UA-sniff for iOS and redirect to the special url scheme.

It has nothing to do with turing completeness. More complexity leading to bigger surface area for potential attacks, yes. GPU and file access, yes. But nothing to do with turing completeness. Here's a non turing complete language I wouldn't

I would be interested in your reasoning why G,B and B,G can (rightly) be considered distinct, and B,B and B,B can (rightly) be considered the same enumeration and thus one discounted, but BT,BT and BT,BT ( ) should still be considered disti

No, they are correct in saying that GB and BG are distinct, even with no other information. It is not order that is important, but considering each child as a distinct entity. The 50% chance of being a boy and 50% chance of being a girl app

The removal of duplication and the distinguishing between GB and BG are two completely different things. If you're not meant to remove the duplicates, then why doesn't your enumeration of two gendered children run: BB, BG, GB, GG, BB, GB,

When considering the case that the older son was the one born on a Tuesday, that gives 14/28 possibilities. One of those 14 is the case that both were born on Tuesday. When considering the case that the younger son was the one born on a Tue

Using age as the ordering is not important. What matters is that when enumerating possibilities you count the probability of the first and then the second, and the second and then the first. If manlier child = boy <==> one+ child =

My background is with LINQ, which means I find it more natural to group it as: st {for s in state} {for st in states[(s,letter)]} But I agree, reading it as English your grouping makes more sense.
