I don't understand your reply, nor do I see a reason for the downvotes. A downvote is a bashful admission of the correctness of a statement.

It's hard for you because you have good credit. It's not hard for people with bad credit, as is evidenced by Fannie and Freddie's latest 3%-down mortgage program. The reason is that the very point of the new lending standar

You're right, of course. It's called Cultural Marxism for those who don't yet know it.

Again we see another Dijkstra soldier pushing the corrosive "software programming is complex" ideology. Notice how they are the same group as Martin Fowler followers. > "They keep people from re-inventing nearly identical

I googled for tessellation infinite plane algorithm but could not find any pertinent information. There are problems that the brain can solve that one can prove an algorithm cannot. That to me is a bold claim. Could you point to material I

Because 20 years ago everything on every list was about object-oriented programming and I didn't complain (too much).

So what? It's Turing-complete so it can simulate any non-Von Neumann machine that can compute. And in fact it does so very well, see Forth, Lisp, and other languages from different paradigms for which there are dedicated processors. If

I was talking about revisionist interpretations of the events leading to and surrounding WW2, up to and including questioning the number of victims, the methods of killing, and the systematic nature of the killing. This is so scary it even

There is theoretical, and then there is theoretical: one is privately fueled and produces real-world industry-strong gems like Haskell; the other is publicly fueled and produces concepts such as self-stabilization and superstabilization. If

Wikipedia's article on Dijkstra says: "He was the first to make the claim that programming is so inherently complex that (...)" Meanwhile Alan Kay had 12 year old kids making computer games (videos on Web Archive). Dijkstra c

What good is showing the function signature? It will be different per language implementing the OpenGL bindings. The docs should be just about the OpenGL functions, not about how C implements them.

Very clever UI, very clever indeed. You get my money. Please don't make the time keyboard-settable. ;) I really appreciate apps that get out of my way and what you made is just that. That's why I use macs. Thanks for being one

It's not about the public's perception of wavering, it's about the scientific outlets wanting to say "Yolk is bad!!" instead of "we now think egg yolk is bad because we found that the foo in the quux frobs the

The Center for Science in the Public Interest sounds more like a group of people using science as a flag of convenience to steer public policy. As such I wouldn't say they are doing unadultered, capital S, Science. They are, after all,

It's the ivory tower problem. I agree with you and the parent post. Parent said: "new less scrutinized algorithms may still offer a practical defense" But in my experience that P word there is unknown to ivory tower dwellers.

The joke is on us for accepting a story that could be verified by computer simulation, but for which a computer simulation was never written. Also the report written on it only needed to prove that the fuel leaked from the tank. From that p

I'm interested in this but I have no idea what you are talking about. What does "numerically" mean and how does it allow one to implement rigid body physics in a "much easier way" than using the known formulae?
