That's one way to look at it. From the perspective of a researcher, if you're true to your work, you're really at the vanguard asking hard questions and probing the limits of your own mind and its fallacious thinking .. no matter how small

I think what Knuth/Hoare/whoever was trying to say here is - solve the problems you know you have. The key point is that the "know" should be demonstrable knowledge (as opposed to asserting "I know" with authority), in which case it woul

The OP argues well that it is not inheritance, but neither does the term "delegation" fit. For example, when I delegate a task to someone at work, that person is not expected to wear my shirt to work. The delegate is expected to complete

Most of the comments here seem to be about the qualities of the notation itself and whether it is good. I would like to ask why this notation of all possible notations? Music notations - systems of analogies between visuals and sound -

I sort of interpreted this to mean that though neither of them had evidence about whether check-ins translated to revenue over time, Foursquare chose to project it as though it did, thereby creating the "game" that Gowalla joined.

I did this as well - watched both 48fps and 24fps, both in 3d and the former in imax. I didnt talk to Knoll, of course, but some notes follow - 1. The imax hfr 3d was on the whole awesome and I got a glimpse of where cinetech is heading. I

Though Shaw raises a valid point based on the fact that we program in more diverse and hostile situations today than K&R did back in their days, I'm unsure how deep one needs to go into program correctness when teaching a language. Woul

From your description, it looks like it can be repurposed as a 3d scanner (as imagined by monk_e_boy). Would be nice to see raw access. I would like to use it to scan fingering techniques on string instruments.

What do HNers think about the Leap "app store"? I'm dying to get my hands on one of these awesome things and I have tons of use for it, but I'm seriously not interested in putting "apps" on Leap's "app store" and I don't like this trend at

This is why I avoid using "this". Placing this comment next to any of the 9 points causes the comment to mean something different. However, "this" could be useful in circumstances where that is the exact effect desired. Even in such cases,

Looks like good work with some thought having gone into it, although with most such schemes the major gains are usually reaped with the first few simple optimizations. Maybe you need a catchy marketing line like "Its like msgpack, but small
