How about: orders.collect(&:total) Isn't this all a bit of a storm in a teacup? It seems to me that we should minimise the amount of code because #(code) ~= #(bugs).

Another one!? Seriously, looks very interesting.

I use Ruby ALL the time, and I've never once thought, "I wish this was executing faster". Yes, perhaps it could be more efficient, but I don't use Ruby for speed. The way that I see it, Ruby exchanges execution time for programmer time. Alt

Actually, if the app I just bought off the app store was a "can of tomatoes", couldn't I use it on any device of my choosing, give it to my friend or include it as part of my estate as a gift to my children? The absurdity is that we are con

While valid and useful in specific cases, I think that this approach is short-sighted in general. In-place algorithms can lead to significant problems as it is typically hard to enforce strong invariants during the game update loop. In many

I have the same problem if its any consolation, and in my case, it might have been longer than 2 months.. I actually started hammering away at their online contact form for app reviews. After I did that suddenly a few days later it went to

Is it just me or is the VMware Store completely broken? I click on any of the Buy links and I just get redirected in a circle back to the front page of the store!? I'm in New Zealand BTW. Perhaps they have some problems with non-US IP addre

If you didn't get my intent, the last part of the article which you recommended was highly biased and after reading it I was left questioning the author's motive.

by ioquatix 14y ago
Yeah, that was part of the lolcats image. I can't quite remember what I did but it wasn't malicious.

I once found a public printer which I don't think was supposed to be public. There wasn't any way to contact the owner since it appeared to be in a different country based on IP address. ...so I set it up as a printer and printed a bunch of

How is .each any simpler than a for loop, conceptually they do the same thing.
436.
by ioquatix 14y ago
[I tried to post this as a comment, but Zed decided to delete it :/] I think your comparison between for loops and .each is flawed - clearly you don't need to explain all those concepts in detail if at all. A for loop ultimately involves so

This is the most ridiculous thing I've read this week.

Based on the down-votes I'm receiving I have to say I agree.

Sure, it may be so, but what does this have to do with hacker news?

Is this not a valid question? Since when did food and health have anything to do with hacking? This belongs in /r/health

One problem with this technique is that over time you will end up with more and more data on the production server, even stuff that has since been deleted. Even for a small website over the course of a few years can end up being GBs of wast

I'm a New Zealander and I think this is ridiculous. Anyway, I don't support mainstream media and instead buy as much as I can direct from the artists. What I don't understand is why the government thinks this is a high priority.. there are

Sure, it might not be typical, but it does happen in quite a few languages. CLOS is one system that comes to mind. FP vs OO is an interesting discussion but this article hardly does it justice.

by ioquatix 14y ago
Languages that are "OO" and languages that are not (in this case functions and data structures) are semantically equivalent. Q.E.D.

I've called them, and they've called me several times relating to various different issues. They've always been very pleasant and happy to help.

No they aren't¹. (1) 95% of statistics are made up. I'm sure Apple, who actually sell the machines, and collect statistics, know what their users are after.

No one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to buy this computer. For some people (some being the vast majority of MBP users) this design actually makes a lot of sense.

I think you need to quantify a lot , as in "a lot of pros need ethernet". I work in a university and I see a lot of laptops and I don't think I've ever seen anyone plug in the ethernet except for very specific situations like LAN parties

I have a current MBP with both 8GB and 16GB of memory. I found that with 8GB, performance is excellent. With 16GB, I normally have about 6-7GB free - Mac OS X normally uses the rest for a filesystem cache but it doesn't really affect perfor
