Meh. What are the advantages over daemontools?

Bingo.

Wow, talk about a sampling bias.

There was a great comment here on a previous thread, but I can't find it. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Some more thought (can't edit below due to noprocrast :). As he suggests at the end, the distance between points (cards) on the table seems to be important. If we have some set with a given mean distance between point (or some better measur

There's a factor he doesn't mention, which is which set is removed from the table. Norvig's code removes the first set it finds. Another strategy would be to identity all sets and remove one at random. And who knows how humans play? It's

You aren't thinking of Oppenheimer?

What if he'd just been an ordinary guy? I think the damage to his life and the lives of those who knew him is more important than what he would have invented.

You're putting us all down. Blogging is no more inherently self-important than speaking at all.

Wiser than the author? Where do you get that from? Also, while I agree that the piece is more philosophical than literary, it's more than just an argument for the younger man's perspective. After all, if the argument were irrefutable, the b

"if you're the kind of person who likes to use self-important HR jargon" Wow, talk about self-important. People have a term for something you just took a paragraph to explain. Can you guess why? This comes across as a pointless dig to make

Not distasteful, but lacking information. People around here are very sensitive about the signal to noise ratio. (FWIW, I didn't downvote you.) This latest post has a little more effort put into it, and I think it probably would have fared

Here's something I've been thinking about. Imagine Google or FB acquires of a small startup. The startup's product is either unwanted or incorporated into their parent company within a year. That means that for the next couple years of the

Still, your post was essentially "CS is overpriced", but more verbose. If you have some analysis of their pricing (and why it might be wrong), share it, but to just state your personal opinion like that is kind of pointless.

It seems like you're saying CS is overpriced, but it's not clear how that's relevant.

I address your safety concerns in the README. But seriously, how would you have designed this more Pythonically? It's an easy criticism to make, so back it up!

It's striking how they don't use an article before the word "iPad". For example, they say "reading on iPad" instead of "reading on the iPad". Are they trying to make it sound alive?

There are two different definitions of "know" in play. That's all it is.

According to http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=ox -- "Oxen is the only true survival in Mod.Eng. of the O.E. weak plural." From what I can tell, it looks like OE nouns could have either "strong" or "weak" declensions, and this is d
