Yeah. I'm not an American but adjusted for inflation $100,000 in 1985 would be $221,508.36 today. That's pretty rich. You'd be in the top 5% with that.

Well I used the word parenthesis since the topic was Lisp. > This is an argument against complex functions that do a lot Functions large and complex enough to make this problem significant seem to be the reality I have to deal with when

It's a zombie complaint. I feel it's actually easier with parenthesis because with always well formed lisp you get the benefit of incredible tools like paredit-mode which make it easier to type than in other languages and I say th

I don't mean to suggest it wouldn't be of interest. As you point out it would be of paramount interest to discover the physics behind it. The Pioneer Anomaly, however, was very very small indeed. This effect appears to be many ord

As far as I can tell it wouldn't matter what the cause of the apparent effect is. Not requiring reaction mass is what makes it interesting.

Many people in the EU, including myself, don't bother with the localised versions of Google since the results can be annoying. Having said that it really is frustrating not to be able to easily restrict a search all the EU ccTLDs.

The example in the linked ThreadLocal documentation appears to have a mistake. In getCurrentThreadId it should read return uniqueNum.get(); not return uniqueId.get();

Fun fact: When designing the original system there was disbelief amongst some involved that the relativistic effects were either real or relevant so they built in a switch to be able to remotely disable those parts of the calculations. They

> the incentive to save/hoard that is typically associated with deflationary monetary systems may be weaker with BTC. I don't see how that is possible. The coins may undergo a process similar to a stock split but any holders of the coin
