How can we then tip from one equilibrium to the other?

That's what I think of every time I see a page that has flash on it. It makes me wish I knew of an easy way to install a fake flash plugin into Chrome that intentionally crashes immediately.

That doesn't really answer the question they were trying to ask, but other replies do.

I recommend treating it as a spectrum instead of boolean. Eval is considered harmful for a similar reason as to why GOTO is: it makes code harder to prove and to manipulate. Markup and data on one end of the spectrum can be endlessly manipu

My post deserves negative four points (actually, it deserves worse) for two reasons: it's both false and rude.

Sorry about that. I really should check my facts before being snarky. For some reason I thought twitter was only a year or so old. Maybe that's when it really took off or something.

No, they are saying that Pickle as it is currently designed is too powerful. Depending on the goals of Pickle, it may be possible to reduce its power by redesigning it to do no more than its goals.

I really like the idea of refining the questions and their mapping to the answers. If the results increase in accuracy, we may find statistical predictors for how the meiosis and sperm-race play out. Macro-level predictors for micro-level b

The problem with eval is the principle of least power. He almost figured it out when he said it was too much tool for the job, but then he went on to useless metrics.

Avoiding this discussion was why I danced around the name issue by pointing to its referent.

This is where one should inject a joke about his skepticism and his famous expressions thereof. Here's an unfunny example of one: "He doesn't believe in the cancer and is offering anyone a million dollars who can prove the existence of it."

Irony? Denying that something is evil seems pretty typical for the referent of that symbol.

When I asked it to show its work, it demonstrated that it did the algebra first. I was asking if that's legal here.

Interesting. I think I like the idea of having different sites with different granularities. HN could be a site that occasionally has a post saying, "Hey, there now exists a subreddit for this," and Reddit could have articles saying, "OMG,

Ask HN: What is your favorite application of Graphviz?

If users can no longer rely upon their names being displayed, they will come up with alternate ways of identifying themselves. Forced anonymous has worked in some places in the past.

I suspect there would be millions of data points on the bioinformatics corresponding with the taking of that quiz.

You've been thinking about it longer and probably more in-depth than I have. There was a project awhile back called localhost that made me think about it. It wasn't as transparent as what I would like to see, though. 4chan also made me thin

This is why microblogging needs layers. The inanity of a post should be machine-readable so users can filter those they follow based on how much they want to know. At the bottommost level would be stream-of-bioinformatics auto-logged by att
