I'm afraid none of these explanations work for me. All of these analogies have the same fatal flaw, regardless of what you try to use to describe how distance between points expands you still have a material in a container. With a balloon,

Unfortunately, there are some bugs with the variable passing. You should be able to pass an array of variables to the V8js object and have access to them under PHP js object. However, the values are currently set to null. In my experimentat

The negative index issue is a valid bug concern because when I was typing out the _fictional_ PSL code I missed the negative index hence my reply that said language could be smart enough to handle that (ie, tongue in cheek). However, your b

by giberson 15y ago
Tongue in cheek, you don't know how PSL handles negative array bounds--perhaps it's smart enough to know how to handle the first element.

by giberson 15y ago
So imagine you define some amazing PSL (Problem/Solution Language). It let's you "Code" by defining the problem and solution, ie: Define SORT: Given SET(x), Find SET(y) Where [For i in y] y[i]>y[i-1]. So now you're feeling all

Have you considered the possibility of starting distribution branches? For example, might you save on shipping if you shipped via a single shipment to a central location (country) where your primary subscription base is. From there, mailing

by giberson 15y ago
Thanks for that information. Just addressing SOPA from this angle, would SOPA legislation be okay if it only applied to domains that did not adhere to DMCA voluntarily or regulatorily? IE, SOPA wouldn't be capable of black listing any US si

Thanks, up voted you for the explanation via code sample. It helped click the concept for me. As you mentioned there is an ability to refactor forEach to support early termination and as you state I agree is inelegant--however, I think for

I know that now . I'm saying I didn't know that then, I didn't know then, that there were even sub-reddits. It wasn't until I did discover those facts that I became a reddit frequenter.

I'll admit to being one of the latecomers to reddit in the last year. I use to avoid reddit like the plague, because I thought reddit was just www.reddit.com (the main page) which the few times I visited was filled with random assortment of

My whole point was not the method they'll use to legislate such activities--it's that they will find a way. Don't to try slither around crappy legislation, focus on getting the proposers and supports of crappy legislation out of office.

It's a great idea as far as creating your own communication system--definitely innovative. However, it's still not a solution to SOPA. Why? Because SOPA is legislation--and if they'll pass bad legislation against the internet they'll certai
