I kind of lost my train of thought writing pseudo-code and failed to emphasize the key point. The law does not require a complete specification of all implementation details in order to develop working "production code". The law is a syst

The way I see it, the flaw with the argument here is that Steve is assuming that writing law is like writing working production code in a modern imperative or object-oriented language. It isn't. If the law is like code, it's fundamentally

There's a quote often attributed (I don't know for sure if he actually said it or not) to comedian Bill Murray on the topic of being rich and famous that says something along the lines of "Try being just rich first and see if that isn't eno

This is probably very cool for people doing CG work. It's still too limited for most scientific work though because only single precision floating point is supported. If they'd make a version of this that supports double precision arithme

FTA: "Japan’s history is mined for evidence supporting Olson’s theory." This is why economics is not yet a respectable science. I can't say that I disagree with the analysis presented in the article, but that says nothing at all about its
