It's like the difference between occasional bets between friends on sports games and being a professional bookie.

Very interesting, thanks for the explanation!

This has to be illegal, right? I can understand renting out your vacation home or apartment when you're not using it, but buying a home/apartment to run essentially a mini hotel has to run afoul of zoning/licensing/regu

Great job! I'm not entirely sold that you needed to go that far outside vanilla AngularJS though. If you follow #3 strictly and throw out #1, I don't think you need #2 and #4, which are the ones that break the spirit of the gener

This is bad for both wall street and the technology sector.

This goes into libel territory - Wikipedia presumably doesn't have the resources or authority to investigate and fully ascertain who paid for what.

This isn't really true in poker - the online poker boom created tons of new poker celebrities and lots of online pros who are technically better and more profitable than old-school grinders.

I was describing first-year students who are reading code as though it's written in a foreign language, not anyone with some degree of competence. For obvious reasons, professionals should not be internally verbalizing as they write o

Ruby and Scala are both feature-rich languages that give programmers every chance to abstract away any common logic that they can find anywhere, while remaining elegant at core. Python and Go are both minimalistic languages that provide ba

For people with zero knowledge of either, I think the following analogy is somewhat (but obviously not completely) apt: Scala is to Ruby what Go is to Python.

The point is that using (a == true) instead of a is idiotic. Now, there are good semantic reasons to use (a == true) in some languages, but we're not talking about that, we're talking purely about style. It's no different f

So your proposal is to replace the entire education system with the principle that children need to become adults? What is there to converse about? We're not at all talking about educational policy here, we're talking about your

What context does it depend on? Where is it reasonable to say (x == true) instead of x? Edit: your original post said "If I were writing something, and I really wanted to make it clear that I was testing a boolean to be true, I might

This isn't even remotely coherent from a policy perspective. You couldn't even handle schooling as a child because somehow you weren't handled in some special way and couldn't do what you wanted to do, but now you think

14-year old's are wiser in many ways than 24-year old's. Most people in either age group aren't wise or mature enough to think from other people's perspectives, but 14-year old's are less pretentious about their mo

By that standard, you're an exception that the system successfully accommodated. So what's the problem? I'm also going to guess that you've taken advantage of help from tons of people that the system has successfully p

How is if (x == true) easier to read than if (x)? Deliberate obtuseness makes things harder to read.

There's grey zone and there's being obtuse. We're not talking about fancy tricks here - the clearest way to retrieve the truth value of a boolean variable is to refer to it directly, not comparing it for equality against a c

The system isn't designed to maximize your personal well-being. Your extrapolation from "this was good for me" to "we should have everyone do it" is troubling.

"The problem is when you arrive to age 24" Stopped reading there.

by candybar 13y ago
What are you talking about? If it's somehow clearer to say if (x == true) instead of if (x), why isn't it also clearer to say if ((x == true) == true) instead of merely if (x == true)? And so on?
322.
by candybar 13y ago
Why stop there? To really get the point across, you may want to do: if (((((a == true) == true) == true) == true) == true) That way, you can be even more certain!

I'm with everyone else that as written the proposal makes no sense, but there may be big portions of Windows, including probably almost all of the kernel, as well as much of pre-XP versions of Windows, that can be released as open sour

I'm surprised not to see anyone mention this but a large taxi service for Google can become a huge competitive advantage if it can be intelligently used to gather real-time traffic/street-view/etc data.

The problem with articles like this is that it inspires precisely the wrong reaction. The best way to develop "soft skills" of the sort that matter is to stop caring about developing "soft skills" and to be genuine and

Is this actually true on a marginal basis, especially in comparison to Go? My understanding was that JVM languages have a larger constant upfront memory footprint, but the difference isn't necessarily an increasing function of workloa

It seems strange to see a long article on the novelty of Frontback without mentioning that it mimics and seems largely inspired by the built-in Dual Shot feature on Galaxy S4.

But whose honesty are we talking about? I agree with the heart of this, but very often leaders being "brutally honest" to the point of being rude and inconsiderate have the effect of causing others to become too afraid to speak t

No, traffic is not traffic in advertising. If you have a popular blog on home improvements, advice on mortgages or home purchases, the price you get for advertising is going to be orders of magnitude higher than advertising on random lolca
