This technique is about rote memorization. While your engineering and science classes require less of this, subjects such as history require significant memorization not only for tests, but also for holding connections in the mind. Short, f

To paraphrase Dan Savage - how many monogamous relationships "work"?

Some small pieces... 1. The plugin interface to adobe doesn't seem like it's quite there just yet. I had some significant slowdowns with trying to get to other tabs and with responsiveness. 2. There were a few cases where new tabs didn't se

Do you believe this is endemic to heterosexual relationships? As a gay man, where casual sex is normative (and I am not an exception, though I am by nature monogamous and currently in a monogamous relationship), I don't see any of these pro

I've dated the very well off, and I know at the lower levels, they are using those services. American Express operates one, and I knew someone who made a decent living as a personal concierge in Manhattan. It all depends on the circle, thou

Rhapsody, and my partner pays for NetFlix. I was paying for Oreilly's Safari but I wasn't using it enough. I pay for Espn.com insider as well.

The one piece of the puzzle not solved is how everyone's going to afford this wireless. I'm making decent money, spending 80 dollars on two cell phones worth of coverage, and I'm still wincing about the idea of 30 bucks for a data plan. (Or

Sometimes, it just seems like the universe is trying to send us a message. Take that in a spiritual way if you want, or take it in the sense that a cataclysmic (relatively speaking) forces us to reevaluate our priorities. Certainly, if this

I'm most pissed that some of the earlier events are still linked on the site, but have no video attached to them. I'm trying to get the qualifing day of women's gymnastics to show someone a routine with very little significance other than t

And thus, we have java? (Well, and Haskell.)

A former coworker would go into the bin directory and read through every command at least once a year, if I remember the exacts correctly. He was also the best system admin I remember ever seeing. I believe I have 80% of the java spec read

Actually, my daily knife is a Santoku-style German knife whose compromises I like better for much of what I do. It was amazing how much better at knife work I got (and how much more confidence I had cooking!) when I was liberated from my c

I don't know about you, but it has me thinking about making a porn site for Kafka enthusiasts.

The one piece I disagree with is that you should pick the knife that feels most comfortable to you, be it 19 or 99. My knife is a santoku that I bought for a little too much but as much as I use it, I can't complain one bit.

They do downloads as well these days. It's not as elegant as I'd like, though. I think they were partnering with Rhapsody and iTunes though.

I like aurora, but unless there's something since I last updated it's just a mediocre bejeweled clone right now.

Automated testing has less of this problem. It still has the problem that some testing must be done manually, and there is a large spike for code in production.

This sounds like a business opportunity for someone. In fact, there are people who have done this. I believe Intuit has a pretty good package for that matter.

This would be news without "The last lecture." He was a prominent, well-respected computer science whose research in computing education and virtual worlds will be missed. He was also, by all accounts, a great teacher at CMU.

In what sense? The progressive movement as currently constructed is not enamored with neither Leninism nor Stalinism, though there is sometimes a smidge of respect for Trotsky. The 80s just called and they want your meme back.

Why? 1. Sometimes, issues require more interactivity, especially for an individual inexperienced with the product regardless of the technical aptitude in general. This is more crucial in issues regarding offline apps, but let's consider an

While I agree in principle that #1 is correct - that OOP is not necessarily less performant than procedural languages, the argument provided is a bit of a strawman. No OOP-antagonist that I know would consider that a proper argument. The ar

Most languages are like a Home Depot. You have big pieces in the end and you assemble, usually in predictable forms. It's easier, but not as flexible. Lisp is more like a machinist's shop. It takes considerably more skill, but the system is

Yes, but in a system where information is asymmetric and there are governmental statements to invest in one's country, the message of risk is often drowned out and even intentionally so in some unfortunate cases. Consider how the subprime r
