   You can write it either way in CS. Anyway, saying that CS is a huge improvement over JS doesn't imply that every single feature of CS is better than its JS counterpart.

    I powered through nearly the whole book in a pretty short period of time, preparing for my Google interviews. It was a great review (and a great intro to a few classes of algorithms (e.g. max flow) I hadn't seen before). Congrats to the a

    Well, circumstantially, there are companies like Google and Microsoft who spend a lot of time on these types of tests. It's not an original suggestion that they aren't effective, so I have to assume that Google et al have considered this..

    Agreed that a computer can solve that much more easily, but my point was that just looking at a corner square wouldn't be sufficient.

    Ah, my recollection was that the Django guys wanted to include South in a previous Django version (maybe 1.3?) but that the South developers didn't want that to happen. I had a quick look and couldn't find where I read that, and you seem t

    What on earth does that have to do with capitalism? And what makes you think your choice of how to present yourself doesn't become part of how others perceive you? You might wish to read this: http://lesswrong.com/lw/yp/pretending_to_be_

    First of all, I said "approximation". Second of all, genes and values are inherited as well.

    I used Live Mesh once. Then, out of the blue, after a reboot reboot it started deleting all my files. I got in touch with the Live Mesh team and was told that I should remove files with unsupported extensions (WTF?) from my synced folders

    Given that prime frequency is around ln(n) on average, and that nineless frequency is around .9^log_10(n) (log-exponentially low, or whatever the right terminology is), this isn't actually that surprising when you think about it.

    I think Facebook has had groups for a while - they just aren't exposed that well in the UI. (I don't think I've ever tried to use them, though, so maybe they're different from Circles in some way.)
