Of course, in a more functional language you could perhaps just write "ary.map( * 2)" Wait, isn't that already possible in Scala? ary.map(2*)

I was looking for a similar solution recently, and came across Stackicons[0], basically icon fonts with multiple color layers, essentially what Microsoft is proposing. But there's a huge flaw with the whole approach: you can't hav

While Cuil failed, it only cost them about $30 million to do most of what Google does. They raised ~$30 million in two rounds, but their valuation was at $200 million by round two. I agree with your point though; the cost to develop a g

I think, however, that you can preceded mandatory terms with a + sign to require it to be present on page. That was my first reaction too, but I tried it out and it still doesn't work. In fact, the result is kinda funny: Googling &

The two aren't completely mutually exclusive. There are Vim emulators for pretty much every popular IDE out there.

That's actually exactly what I had in mind. Range voting[0], for example, doesn't suffer from Arrow's impossibility theorem, Gibbard–Satterthwaite theorem, nor the Condorcet's paradox. [0] http://en.wikipedia.o

Let's say I like party A 10 times more than I like party B. In a preferential voting system, there's no way to precisely express my preferences using the ticket. I'm forced to choose between "1. A" or "1. A, 2.

Arrow's impossibility theorem only applies to rank order voting systems, not democracy in general.

If everyone followed the reversed-domain-name naming scheme, then namespaces taken up by abandonwares will get flushed out of the system after a few years. That's a pretty huge "if" though.

Per capita, each Chinese person owns $927 out that 3.5 trillion dollars[0]. Yeah, that's gotta suck for them. Not as much as it will suck for the Japanese though, who'll lose 10 times of that at $9645 per capita. The Belgians have

Interesting enough, Google chose to build upon the Eclipse java compiler instead of Sun/Oracle's javac. I'm guessing this is due to javac being GPL and the Android SDK being Apache License 2.0. This is strangely reminiscent

Think about it, does it really? To parse Foo x = new Foo(); , javac has to perform type inference on the right hand side to figure out its type, and then check whether that type is a subtype of the left hand side. Telling the compiler: &qu

Refactoring goes a lot further than just renaming types. A refactor script _WILL_ rename both sides of 'Foo x = new Foo();' to 'Bar x = new Bar();', so given the right utilities (and if you use java for everything, it&#

I'm not much of a Python guy, but that chained comparison operator is sweet! Sure, it's just syntax sugar, but it saves a lot of keystrokes, especially if the variable name is long. Is Python the only language with this feature?
