i'm so glad don't have a facebook account. i'm also glad i deleted the account i had with a national facebook-clone a long long time ago. all this pseudo-social bullshit is getting on my nerves. go out, meet people, exchange phone numbers a

just what is it with blogs and gray-on-white text these days? what's wrong with real black on real white? does everyone have a miscalibrated super-glossy-glare highdef screen or what?

uh, after revisiting the tables in the PDF, i understand the situation better. the NAND and NOR tables don't follow the same evaluation scheme. the NOR table is "(not A) or B", which is according to python's precedence rules without parenth

python's variable scoping is useless. i can't reassign a variable in an upper context. i can mutate the object it refers to, but i can't reassign the variable right there. instead it gets instantiated at the current level. that's why javasc

i see some strange things in the truth tables. first, the left and right operands are ordered differently. on second glance, this smells like gray code, so only one operand changes to the next line. nevermind my reaction here. then, the NOT

so they're growing faster, but they're held back by school with no end in sight, doing inconsequential things?

training, not learning. did you read the first paragraph? care to give examples of positions that require learning that isn't actual hands-on training?

so you argue that it's okay to FORCE kids through school? i wouldn't have been ready for the world at age 15, but maybe at age 19-20. now i'm 23 and i'm getting sick and tired of university. they don't even try to relate the stuff they teac

and what is it with "waiting months to see a doctor"? i live in germany (socialized health care) and if there's something wrong with you, you either see your GP or walk into the next (teaching) hospital. whatever further referral you need i

when i was in high school, i had problems with my back and neck. we were referred to a doctor about this. he sized me up in 5 minutes. then he revealed to us his chiropractor nature and said he'd do his thing. i wasn't asked if that's what

you fail to realize that windows has codec management built into the system. a browser should never concern itself with codecs. that's what system APIs are for. you can teach IE6 about VP8 by just installing a codec into the system. if that

hm, wavelet analysis on (source) code... strange notion, and intriguing. i've long thought that language is a fine tool to deliberately construct notions beyond our horizon. composing such nonsense sentences feel like fuzzing the brain's pa

it's a giant ipod. of course the girl knows how to use it. her father probably let her play with an iphone when she was still in her mother's belly.

right. the tape only has to be $steps long, for $steps steps of computation, because that's the longest distance the head can travel at all. any program that eventually halts, has a finite number of steps, so the band can be finite. the onl

actually, it'll only make you a cynic and a misanthropist.

why is codec support even a browser issue? the system is supposed to manage my codecs, and the browser is supposed to use system APIs to play any and all videos i have a codec for. i'm guessing this is because linux doesn't have a single vi

i disabled acceleration, and i suspect many others do. i tried several times to get used to it. it's just not predictable enough for me. hitting or missing a target just because i was too fast or slow, sounds useless to me.

four eyes might actually benefit the owner. with 2 eyes, you can cover 360 degrees without stereo vision, or half that with stereo vision. two pairs of eyes should give the owner superior awareness of its surroundings. six legs... the na'

i think the concept is kinda weak. i'd use a QR code with a link to a wiki page, if that's what this is. so they're proposing a wiki page for each unique bar code... that smells like wikipedia, but i don't see "business value" in it. that s

how about an "inverse" graphing calc that takes an arbitrary line drawing and gives me a "nice-looking" equation and not just the vectorized representation?

kinda obvious now that it's implemented, right? i mean... kids know they're wasting time by just sitting in a bus for hours and doing nothing else. homework got to be done anyway, so why not use the time now and have more free time in the e

don't overthink it. in germany, the state is called Bayern, even though it's "Bavaria" in english. same thing with my current town: it's called "Aachen" in german, but "aix-la-chapelle" in english or "aken" in dutch.
