It is compared to a "long weekend" as described in the parent comment. Although it would be nice, taking a month off every year would be grail-status vacation time for a US employee I think. Also, I don't work in Silicon Vall

I'm curious to read about what it means to "de-stress" from work but I think you forgot the [1] citation. Maybe this is not common, but if I worked at a company with "unlimited vacation", I would definitely take ext

I'm not the author, but there are no hover classes for tables or alternating rows, as seen in the source, which is very readable [0]. Also, each additional level of list-nesting requires additional CSS, so it's actually impossible

The * operator made me laugh out loud. Only Perl would have an operator called a "Whatever star". Although, I actually think a lot of the stuff Perl does is really cool. I wouldn't want to have to maintain a codebase of it, b

It's too confusing, I think. The effort it takes to try to understand what's going on is too great. You can explain our REST service infrastructure to a developer in a few hours. I don't know how long it would take to explain

I work on an SOA platform for a very large software company. We offer both REST and SOAP versions of our RPCs. In my experience, SOAP services are okay plug-and-play if you own both the provider and the consumer. But consuming external APIs

It never equates XML with SOAP. The point is that even while SOAP was being pushed by Microsoft, JSON was gaining mindshare among API developers, and API design was moving away from complex XML documents. Using a simpler format for object s

I'm psyched for the changes in the way .NET applications are being deployed. NuGet was already a great step, and having a well-factored .NET core framework in NuGet is only going to make it better. Even little things like renaming the

Video lectures during the meditation? That sounds bad... the only things that I think would be acceptable are guided meditations, where you focus on different parts of your body, or moving your energy or whatever. If they legitimately had v

If you're using Web API (built on ASP.NET) then you're not using Node, which is a Web server written in Javascript. But I do think it's cool that someone can transition from WPF to Web development with Angular without feeling

They are also moving to a Flux-inspired application structure which is supposedly very similar to functional reactive programming, which is what the OP was referencing.

I believe we get puzzles randomly selected from a pool. Mine was about date parsing. Yours?

Semi-related, Google does base conversions too. You can type "8660 in hexadecimal" in Google and get the answer. Seems strangely appropriate since this is a Google game.

Nothing. At least at level 1, I made an incorrect submission multiple times without apparent reprisal.

Obstreperous doesn't mean "stubborn" (at least not in the definition given), it means that you are "defiant", and that defiance is stubbornly maintained. I don't think you did this deliberately, but it seems li

Hmm... maybe this is just me not being familiar with the literature, but from that link, it looks like there are very mixed results (some studies report no difference based on age of acquisition, whereas others report that children learn mo

Well, I was trying to start a discussion over semantics anyway. "Science" is already a very vague term, and I think it's important to keep it as concrete as possible in meaning. In my mind, science is associated with testabl

I think this is related to an implicit assumption that startups are for twentysomethings, where you have to have started early in order to have much experience at all. Maybe it's just me, but I think the startup culture has an emphas

I agree that this is a great project. But, do you think it's right to call this a "scientific process of understanding"? It seems to me that the field (as it were) is simply in a pre-scientific phase of exploration and expe

I disagree. A PL is not a "natural language" by definition (it's eminently artificial). Although PLs do evolve over time, they seem to be essentially different in structure from natural language, in that they have a precise s

I think the Vertical Flip transition is the one with an issue. Not only does it not work, but it breaks the others.

FWIW, I think this is a really cool idea. When I was trying to imagine use cases, most of them involved a project being generated on only one stack. Mobile apps are the only exception I can think of. Do you expect that most people will only

Absolutely. I even think this, or something like it, will catch on in enterprise development shops for those fringe projects that are done in like a week. Especially if it can be deployed on the same tech stack as that other random thing we

My understanding is that you "describe" your project using XML or JSON or code (which can be written against libraries in "the language of your choice"). Then, Kozo spits out a skeleton project based on that description

I don't know what your question means, especially the "reaching around the HTTP protocol" part, but I'm going to try to answer it anyway. Mechanize doesn't contain a JS engine, so it can't scrape sites that rel

I think it's stylistic. The anime series (To aru majutsu no index) uses the same style of "to aru <noun>" instead of "<noun> to aru". It reminds me of Latin, where you can adjust the position of phrases
119.
by delluminatus 12y ago
I would love that. But "to aru" also actually means something in Japanese, which I would translate like, "there is an". Disclaimer: I definitely am not an expert on Japanese. It's actually kind of hard to translate

And yet, if you just google "polyfill", there are no results referring to that usage. So, although polygon filling would also be interesting to read about, it's not really fair to complain about the OP's idiomatic usage
