Well, tightly connecting it to sexuality carries an implicit assertion that asexual people cannot love (or be "in love"). Seems untenable.

Additionally, certain notations are open to interpretation (fermata, accelerando, retardando, etc) and thus need someone to lead, unless they were standardized completely beforehand.

If you structure competition as Winner(s) + everyone else (as opposed to a full ranking system), you gain a powerful motivator for competitive students, while not necessarily convincing the others that they are garbage.

I'm more surprised that the Go 1.4 compiler is written in C. Writing a compiler in C sounds very unpleasant compared to a language like OCaml. Does anyone know why they made this choice for the initial design?

All research I've seen finds that talking while driving, even if it's just to a passenger increases accidents by a large amount. Other studies show that people tend to vastly overestimate their multitasking abilities. So in short:

I was under the impression that Monopoly has mostly reinforcing loops. The more money you have the more you can develop your property and make more money.

Sometimes it's even easier after just 1 minute away. I code and play music, and I've made a habit of occasionally walking around the house, petting the dog, then back to where I'm working/practicing. It doesn't take

I only use Cygwin because its the only way to use certain tools. I run a tidy Windows install otherwise. I wouldn't use it at all if I didn't need to.

I bet a similar curve exists for runner's paychecks with similar placement for Usain Bolt.

Shouldn't team performance decrease the season after a coach change since the players have to learn a new system? This seems to say that the cost of firing a poor coach is zero because at worst you will do the same as before in the sho

"C++ sucks" has become a bit of a meme around here. The upsides outweigh the downsides for a surprising number of cases. Every alternative is either immature, doesn't solve the use case that needs C++ or doesn't have the

I'd like to disagree. The language specifications provide various limits on the kind of performance you can get, regardless of the platform. Performancewise, for the record, I find JavaScript to be wholly adequate for writing servers,

Back in the days where if you had a disk that implemented it, it was illegal to take with you to another country (the vestiges of such laws are still around today as a relic of that time).

I hate the coding challenges because they are hugely asymmetric in effort required between interviewer and interviewee. They usually come as the first or second step (after the phone interview), which means you aren't even really being

A lot of people think the blockchain is important independent of the "monetaryness" of the coin it is associated with.

Not usually. I usually hear that it's either confusing or that people prefer functional languages with static typing over the dynamic flavor.

F# is very close to OCaml (each language has a few features the other doesn't have). I love OCaml, but Visual Studio's F# integration is why I use F# now. The tooling for other functional langauges has seemed lacking to me, but ha

Quicksort looks significantly better in a functional style. Here's some Haskell, but it certainly doesn't use any Haskell-exclusive features: quicksort :: Ord a => [a] -> [a] quicksort [] = [] quicksort (p:

Static typing comes with benefits and costs. If you don't want to pay the costs and can forego the benefits, dynamic typing is fine.

For me, it's not really about the amount of typing I have to do. In my opinion, function is so annoying because it takes up way more horizontal space on the screen than it needs to, especially if you get a number of them together.

I think I speak for America and the rest of the world when I say that the EU should stop trying to boss around foreign companies. This was ridiculous the first time when it only applied to EU, but now it's pure insanity.

Definitely true, but if America can't figure out basic rights like privacy there will soon come a time where it doesn't matter how many H1B visas are issued. However, in light of recent corporation missteps like the Google and fri
