The long game is being fully wired. No, the long game is wireless communications (and renewable energy). One of the reasons for fast growth in some developing countries is the fact that they don't have to make the same investments i

I was referring to the AP article linked as [6] above where Mika attacks the Guardian reporter. That's ridiculous! She isn't even quoted in that article. Here's the paragraph you're referring to: On "Morning Jo

Michelle Norris took a leave of absence from All Things Considered during the campaign - I listened to the show in which she announced this and the reason for it. I very rarely watch Morning Joe, but the show doesn't hide the fact tha

No one has mentioned the use of a lightning rod on the roof to provide an alternate path. Does anyone know how effective these are in practice?

Scandinavian countries also didn't go around colonizing others, or getting involved in slave trading, or importing cheap labor when convenient, or generally meddling in other countries affairs. About England ever being peaceful, that's funn

Well Morgan Freeman has publicly commented on that pretty explicitly That's just as silly as stating Lucy Liu's hypothetical opinion on the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (yes it does exist) [1]: "Well Lucy Liu has publicly comment

What does that have to do with anything? Have you done a survey of all blacks, or even all black actors, to arrive at anything resembling a consensus? Why do you cite Morgan Freeman's opinion and not others?

Ok, I'll say it. I clicked on this because of the "I learned to code..." part. Always feels good to see someone take the bull by the horn and tame it. But you apparently have two years of CS undergrad courses under your belt, in C++. Con

So is there any chance you might get some of your memory back? Because you may be better off switching to a different, but possibly complementary, field. And if you manage to regain some of your memory you'll have that too.

Are you sure you can't qualify in the US? A quick Google search for "memory loss disability" suggests you may have some options. A recent story on NPR [1] suggests the examining MD has some discretion in deciding if you qualify for disabi

Yep. And even then it doesn't take into account the fact that writing tests is more common in some languages (Ruby, for instance) than it is in others.

Are you still planning on taking 35% of markup? I commented in a previous post on HN that I thought that was too high for the value you're adding. I don't see this discussed on your website. There is mention of a "wholesale price". What

Why is this nonsense the top comment? How can you, from your study of a cohort of one, assert that no one can beat depression because you haven't? That's a potentially fatal message you're sending, and it's based solely on your own experi

I'll be more interested in hearing the opinions of women who didn't have access to a TI99/4A at age five on the need for "women in CS" programs. The questions are: Are there women who, under different circumstances when growing up, would h

Makes for an interesting blog post, I guess. But precedence for "&&" and "||" in Ruby are similar to precedence for "&&" and "||" in C, Java and others, and they are similar to precedence rules for "and" and "or" in Python.

For me the greatest benefit of TDD is that I can first specify how a unit of code is expected (by me the implementer) to behave. Then I write the code that fulfills (just) those specs, without writing any unnecessary lines of code. If you
