Okay, he still succeeded in his goal of fear mongering and making everyone scream "controversy".

Some of them don't seem entirely ridiculous. Anonymity going mainstream could likely happen due to everything that happened in 2013. Similarly, Drones got really big towards the end of 2013, seeing them get even bigger doesn't see

Google also has a ton of computing power and disk space... That said, homophones and homonyms only would make the 3-gram sets smaller, but it would only detect homophones and homonyms being used incorrectly. I could still use a word incorre

One of the Senior Thesis presentations at my college last year was someone working on a context spell-checker. I don't know if his demo could suggest a better word, but it would highlight words that seemed wrong. It was based off of Go

Or, similarly, drop a physical, paper note off under their door explaining the problem.

Your feelings make you weak. All joking aside, definitionally feelers are going to place higher weight on their personal feelings, which makes discussing technical subjects difficult, because they're less willing to evaluate different

The traditional libertarian viewpoint isn't that the government shouldn't use the money it has to foster innovation, or that the government shouldn't have any money to use for anything, or even that the government should be t

Some. INTP is also highly represented, what with the "MUST UNDERSTAND SYSTEM" drive. I think I heard somewhere that pg's an INTP, but that could be wrong.

It also looks like it generates a lot of boilerplate stuff for you. I personally prefer Flask's simplicity of "do as you will" over "here's an entire project for you" that lots of frameworks use.

But the XPS 13 is a standard Dell laptop. Sputnik is just the project to get Ubuntu running excellently on them, coupled with some developer tools.

Which Laptops? I always like seeing who's making Linux laptops.

The Prime Directive wasn't mentioned until the end of the first season, and it wasn't defined until the end of the second season. And, provided someone previously broke the Prime Directive, inadvertently or not, Starfleet personne

Like ihsw said, in Go you probably should leave it as `NewEmail` because `New` is ambiguous.
346.
by dkuntz2 13y ago
In Go isn't `email.NewEmail()` more idiomatic? To be fair, you could write: e = &email.Email{ [fields and values] } The only thing NewEmail does is give you a pointer to an Email.

Small note, but Roddenberry was dead before The Chain of Command went into preproduction. I'm also not sure that was an episode he would have let through considering he was against the militarization of Star Trek.

It's not really the same. Not capitalizing things is breaking the language's rules. Having a small line height is an easily changed, arbitrary, and mostly subjective "issue".

I haven't explained why I asked: I left after the first couple paragraphs because I found the lack of capitalization off-putting, which is why I commented on it.
350.
by dkuntz2 13y ago
I don't think so. For the most part people were either curious about why Go did what it did (let you export the `NewHidden` while keeping `hidden` unexported: requires `hidden`s to be created using the specific constructor), or defendi

Also, you might have better luck talking to the administration over the IT guys. My experience with IT guys has been "the policy must be followed... Unless someone higher up says otherwise".

I disagree on your technical books point. Things may change, but most of the technical books I buy (I can't really speak for anyone else), and those in the post, are, for the most part, going to be relevant for years to come. Most of t

See if you could get your university to give you some web space and FTP access. It'd be the cheapest route.

Maybe. But even over IM and text messages I use proper punctuation and capitalization. I know I'm weird, but my thought process is this is supposed to be a novel -> novels are a form of formal writing -> formal writing should use

Right, suggestions on how to teach it, when most of the audience doesn't have a technical background... As for "How to setup your own website", I think that shouldn't be the first thing, but close to the first thing. I

Having also read Snow Crash , I think you're extrapolating a little too far. The composition of words shapes experience, not small syntax choices. Plus, I don't know that it's a huge element of a story (I can't tell if

Presuming it takes a weekend to solve some sort of problem that at least some other people have. Presuming they're not only a couple weeks ahead of their students in the course's material.

I don't know that explaining all of how the web works initially would catch the interest of the 2/3s of the people who aren't CS majors. A lot of people would probably get bored really quickly and stop showing up.

While a cool idea, this places a lot of overhead on a professor who most likely already has a bunch of other stuff they need to get done (even at tiny liberal arts colleges). Expanding on your idea, collectively, or in small groups, student
