I always thought the main reason lisp did not become the world's dominant language (or, at least, dominant language with garbage collection) is that writing (/ (+ (- b) (sqrt (- (* b b) (* 4 (* a c)))) (* 2 a)) is a pain in the ne

Does not sound as a healthy family dynamics. Healthy dynamics would be: they talk about their problems and you offer your help, based on your availability. When family actually asks for money I am happy to help all the more. I want crimin

Actually, I don't see a scandal in this, all income should be in the public domain. In fact it is, in various contexts: public workers salaries are public in the US, in my country tax sheets are public record, you only need to identify

One point that is often missing from this discussion is that we should take away money from the super-rich because they will use it against us . In two regards: - They use it in political activities to maintain their status also by fightin

For how much the idea of a dead toddler hurts, this is such a First World Problem.

That one actually predicted the First World War. I am actually with you on the first sentence but your counterexample is weak at best

OK you were right, it is correct. At first sight this (default = difetto) looked like so many careless anglicisms, where a faint similarity in sound and meaning induces someone into believing it is a translation. And this happens really mor

No I disagree, it can be wrong: You cannot translate "by default" with "quando si mangiano le mele" (trans.: "when eating apples"). That is wrong. And you can do even worse: translate "by default" wit

I'll rephrase, Your Honor: Even in English, "accessor" is a word that was rarely, if ever, used, before it was picked up in the programming languages jargon. So much that it has not made its way into some dictionaries, like C

Noting that "accessore" is not an Italian word was on the tip of my tongue (or, rather, fingers), when I realized that not even "accessor" is an English word. Terms used in programming languages are probably much more aw

No, that dictionary has lost all its authority with this, and no, I would not take texts related to IT as reference: those give the worst examples of bad translations. Take a look at this http://www.treccani.it/vocabolario&#

I don't understand what's you problem with "lanciare". In C++ you have the couple "throw" and "catch", like "you throw the ball and I catch it". In Italian that is perfectly translated with

I would not use that: a common programming idiom is that of "returning an error code", and "ritornare un errore" may be confused with this. As in "return error;" where "error" is some error code, agai

I have used SRS and found it powerful, but not that powerful. SRS only commanded the times of rehearsal but not the way memory consolidated. And it consolidated by creating connections. So I needed mnemonics, prompts and all the likes,

I don't know how this ended up in the USMLE but AFAIK, it has long been debunked... unless for "inherited" you mean something other than "genetically transmitted". See "Not in our Genes" by Lewontin, Rose,
