'causing injury' is an interesting thing to prove, since without the sperm the girl would not exist. Conflating the parties involved with the transaction being made (one of the parties _is_ the transaction) is sure to throw a monkey wrench

If gravity wasn't forcing me onto the ground I could fly. I'm sure there are plenty of organizations that would love to move away from Microsoft, but its just reality that they can't. They are too invested in it. It would take too much mone

Microsoft has a pretty solid monopoly in the institutional space through sheer inertia. It would take monumental will power to switch away from MS Office, let alone Windows. Startups: "Yeah fuck Microsoft, who needs em." 10,000+ employee go

Ah sorry. You said "I wrote it by hand" and he said "it's a pain in the ass" so I mistakenly thought you felt the same way. One person's banal is another's fun.

You should check out LLVM. It generates really fast code and has a JIT compiler. I don't know much about Parrot, but it seems heavily skewed toward making dynamic languages fast whereas I believe LLVM aims more toward static languages. Not

Can you give some examples? (Not doubting. I don't know much about Clojure and I'm curious.)

Interesting game. The only winning move is not to play.

I thought I was going insane reading the comments. "What are these people talking about? THERE IS NO 5!"

You're right. That's pushing it for those handful of scratches on the tablet. Who knows, maybe they had some lemma tablets lying around.

If you know that 1/2 * base * height = the area, then the second diagonal can be seen as the height of the triangle cut by the first diagonal. Since b = 2 h, 1/2 b h = 1/2 ==> b h = 1 ==> 1/2 b b = 1 ==> b b = 2 ==> b

They also rewrote the standard library. http://ocaml.janestreet.com/?q=node/27 And did so only recently. Imagine how bad a standard library has to be before a shop takes it upon themselves to rewrite it. I think that might partly explain

"Thanks to the American tendency of "exporting" their culture..." Oh come on, surely the British share some of the responsibility there, if not all of it. Last I checked, we haven't yet liberated* India, so if Indians consume American media

Well, I'd much prefer a title nicked from the military, like "grunt" or "man on the ground" rather than "code monkey" which I've always found condescending. One implies that you are submitting to the common good, other that you are submitti

The reddit thread ( http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/888km/how_a_pro... ) on this point gives some insight into the mind the person who holds such a prejudice. Apparently, PhDs can't code, take too long to solve problems because

Who says schools are supposed to be a meritocracy? Schools, especially private ones, can admit whomever they want. Apparently Standford places some value on a diverse student body. Say what you will about this guy in particular, but I don't

As a longtime GHC user and sometime #haskell visitor, I find your troll HILARIOUS. One thing though, you forgot "Clojure has a better library of persistent data structures." That would have sent dons into an epic flameout.

It's not an OS problem, its a network problem, as in, linux doesn't have a network of ISVs who distribute software with 1-click installers. Its certainly possible, making an .rpm or .deb is no harder than making a Windows installer or an OS
