It's easier if you see it as logical operations, rather than language. A iff B has the same meaning as A == B, but with the added twist that !B negates the answer in the example (knaves always lie). So let's take A = Pluto is a dw

One piece of advice for people who don't want to learn new things: Learn C++. That Bjarne interview might be fictuous, but in the last 20 years the language hasn't seen any significant movement or change that isn't just &quot

Those pixels are always drawn anyway. And a phone's biggest battery killer is the screen which... is on if you're looking at it. So, either your biggest power draw is already on, or there's no reason for you to put any pixels

You forgot 4) Copyright cannot extend past the life of the author, since only the author can have exclusive rights to his writings. I.e. copyright is non-transferable to heirs, corporations, etc.

You're right up to about 4). The iPhone had more power than 95-era computers and definitely could render buttons with bezels. It's just a design fad. iPhone removed a few decorations from the GUI to make it fit better on a small s

Well, he did say if the function is smooth and you have a reasonably small interval to start from.

I feel the entire point is whether torture can work. Because if it cannot, there's no point to making people suffer. If we can get the information in some other way, then those should be tried instead. Bribing could work. Offering th

Or a small fence? Not tall enough to stop someone from walking over, but enough that it would be damaged by him driving over it. Together with a security camera.

So this is a bit ranty and I hope it doesn't come off as too rude, but here goes: Let's talk about functions. Why is id . f = f . id = f? id . f is a function which takes some argument, pushes it on the stack, calls f, pushes the

I must correct you about one thing. Gold/silver wasn't used until fairly recently - 15th century IIRC and for a lot of the time the value of the coin was in no way correlated to the metal it was printed on. Gold caught on in a tim

The individual traders' guesses are influenced by the market and by their prior knowledge on how similar stocks of similar companies performed. So the final average does depend on the values of other stocks in some ineffable fashion. W

This really is looking like a job for a static code analyzer. I'm all for the compiler emitting warnings as much as it can, but I also want it to compile my code very fast... I think the right approach here is to run slow code analysis

Hm... that is indeed a weird problem. If you don't get tested on Monday, that is a surprise, because you expect to get tested on Monday. Then if you don't get tested on Tuesday, that is surprising, because you've inductively

Not the worst joke, but it presumes a large amount of domain-specific knowledge on the part of the listener.

When you use more water, it comes out over the same time (roughly) as less water, so it carries more kinetic energy and can unstick solid waste from the walls, plus additionally it can help bigger pieces pass through the u-bend. Source: I p

Just say "less addictive and with fewer side-effects". No need to have us go through all the levels of indirection, i.e. implications one must think of when you say "plant".

Fewer hours at work and no dress code are never on the table, I suppose... On another tangent, is there no japanese analogue to Scott Adams's Dilbert? People must be self-aware of the system, right?

Tangentially, I keep seeing those figures, but can't figure out how it happens. I mean, how is there enough work for every single corporate drone to work 70 hours per week, plus an additional 20? What the heck is it that all those peop

We should really retire sRGB as the standard monitor colourspace and use 16-bit linear floats per channel. Every single image operator gets really tricky if you work in 8-bit sRGB and most don't bother, i.e. they treat 0-255 as linear

It is forbidden imagery. Not only is it forbidden, people get extremely repulsed, revolted, indignant, angry, bothered, and censorious at the mere mention of a perfectly ordinary human organ. Imagine if the moralites went "HIDE YOUR KI
