   So, because of one incident you lost all respect for all union activities? That's like losing respect for all Chinese because one wasn't acting rationally.

   Well, your hypothesis is definitely scientific, since it can be disproven. Couple of counter-hypotheses: - Consuming less food requires the body to use fat-reserves. Some of these might have been storing heavy metals. With a quick enough ch

   Sounds very familiar. I once made a planning AI for the xlockmore / xscreensaver Pacman. It was never included since it would require too much CPU on low-end machines. Nevertheless, it took me quite some time to debug a strange behavio

   Yes, perhaps I was not clear. I do think an IDE is more efficient. Actually, I believe a modern IDE is barely scratching the surface of what could be possible. I am one of the lunatics who believe in editing directly on the AST, forgoing th

   Thanks for a great and insightful article and answer. Views like yours should be shared by a wider audience, since it accentuates a section of software engineering that is rarely discussed: understanding and adjusting the mental model of pr

   Yes, I don't see this point either. A 'man 3 stpncpy' or an alt-space seems rather similar to me. Actually, with the 'man 3 stpncpy' we cannot be sure the results will align with the target platform. Everyone uses I

   Of course, Dijkstra had his view on it. I try to adhere to his position and prefer proof by type-checking over proof by single example. "A common approach to get a program correct is called "debugging" and when the most paten

   I'm sorry, but the argument 'calories in' == 'calories out' is getting old and is based on incorrect facts and wilful thinking. Be careful with this advice! First of all, due to a variety of reasons the caloric ener

    As the exploit for this vulnerability is at (below?) beginner script-kiddie level, it is not far-fetched for a more sophisticated burglar. Every lock's life ends with someone uttering the words: "I never thought they would do that

    I agree, but VM security and exploits also get orders of magnitude more attention. Besides, physical separation does not just apply to the data-center. Consider EM radiation from phones and laptops.

    I've first read about it on a more mathematically and scientifically inclined tuners page. It also described the effect that slightly untuned strings on the same pitch create a semi-chaotic effect which allows us to hear the tone for a

    Although it seems pedantic, it is important to note that these are 398 publicly known vulnerabilities. An easily overlooked distinction. (Small edit due to style).

    Cheaper solution would be to try the open source Pd (PureData) in combination with the free "Programming Electronic Music in Pd" book [1]. [1] http://www.pd-tutorial.com/english/index.html

    Any piano can produce the main frequency of the bass notes. Apart from length, the tension and density of the string play a role in the main frequency as well. The problem with shorter strings is rather simple. Shorter strings are stiffer t

    I wonder how you arrive at your conclusions. It's rather hilarious, to be honest. I've found that good machine readable specifications of rest interfaces are as rare as well designed SOAP interfaces. I've used a variety of to

    Really? I made one yesterday based on a WSDL from a customer. The whole API was auto generated in type safe Scala in seconds. After adding authentication configuration and some sensible timeouts, I had the whole thing running in two hours.

    Personally, I think Trello is pretty crappy. Unlike you, I'll give some examples: - Not usable without browser plugins - Referencing cards from other systems impossible (no stable urls) - Referencing other systems from cards difficult.

    hi sandGorgon. I agree with mhluongo on this. If you want to do things like transitive closure or connected components, you fall in the 2% section above. However, if you want to encode graphs for message systems, a simple table with parent-
