Using morphine for recreational uses isn't more accepted then heroine.

The page seems deleted. Google's snippet tells me that it used to contain: Sorry, karma-whores. Thursday, June 26, 2008. We are no longer counting karma for self-posts. That is all. posted by david [ketralnis] 1) what happen

from the comments: The plaintext passwords are bad enough, but I think the biggest WTF here is that they give you the "Sorry, we don't recognize that email address." error if you enter an address not in their database. I hit it about 20 ti

I'm always amazed by this. Why would you keep your computer running if you're not using it? just for comparing lengths?

I guess the articles author is not talking about strokes per minute but rather how well you're able to put your thoughts into words. That's a skill that's more on the same level as programming.

So the moral of my story is you can give 1000 people a computer and even if only 4 people start doing great stuff with it, its better than no people. They did spend EUR 200 for each computer, so if it only helped 4 out of 1000 kids, then

That thought hit me too, but actively growing new crops will take out at least as much carbon as the bugs produce (nihil ex nihilo fit). The problem with fossil fuels is that it takes lots of carbon that was safely tucked away and reintrod

that's not how chance works. The chance that a given child becomes a boy is about 50% even though I am a boy. As the article explains: rerunning everything in a near-identical situation does not mean the same events happen. So based on the

Try reading up on latent semantic analysis. It also uses vector calculus, but works a bit different IIRC. It can be used to identify words that are used in the same context and therefore should be the same. I'm not sure if it is directly ap

If you want to say plus 1, you should just vote on the comment instead of making a new post. It's both nicer to the author and it reduces the noise in the thread.

only stupid programmers the thing is, you can't just read a book about design patterns (any book, no matter how well written) and know when to apply them. You'll have to try it, make mistakes, learn from them, make mistakes in the opposit
