Yeah, his problem begins with this statement: If the U.S. government went out today and took every single penny from every single American bank, business and taxpayer, they still would not be able to pay off the national debt. And if they

There are also different versions of the ten commandments across religions. (The Catholics had a problem with the ban on graven images, especially given how many of those they had been erecting). I don't know how this works, given that anyo

What's more likely is that one psalm was copied from the other during the Torah's authorship. Just looking at the translation you can see the use of YHWH (translated as the LORD) in one psalm, and the lack of use of YHWH in the other. This

Please keep in mind that Google IS presently the world largest censor. I thank that honor goes to the Chinese government. Google isn't the one that's actually blocking any access to sites.

Wouldn't it have been easier to have moved away from PHP? From what I understand, Facebook only uses PHP for the most front of ends. Business logic is all in other languages. Isn't it easy to port the front-end into something else?

Not true. It's only available for Standard Edition. That means having Google Apps for your domain, not just anyone with a gmail account. I should know, I work on it. By the way, if any of you have comments, suggestions, requests, feedback..

Date Founded (1998 vs 1976) is listed as a difference, but really, it's more of a similarity. The "new" Apple, with Steve Jobs at the helm, was founded at about the same time as Google.

Everyone's bitching and moaning about a quote of Eric Schmidt's that was taken out of context... when it was Zuck that we should've worried about.

I wonder if it's possible to have some sort of controlled de-normalization. Like, the ability to create a read-only column whose values mimic that of a column in some other table. A "view column" if you will. I would definitely opt for that

Looks very much like Philip Wadler's Links: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/topics/links.html Also, looks like it's done by people active on the OCaml mailing list. They are smart guys. Worth checking out.

I thought this was a question about programming. And yes, I think inheritance in programming should be illegal.

Well, I'm arguing from the Bob Harper standpoint that untyped lambda calculus is simply a mode of use of typed lambda calculus. That is, untyped lambda calculus is typed lambda calculus with exactly one type. Now, neither LISP nor Haskell a

Isn't this problematic? Lispers fling around lots of superlatives, as if their favorite language will never be dethroned from its position atop the language kingdom. And they always felt justified about this. Shouldn't we confront them abou

Here's an example of improving the design of your interfaces to improve the problem... The mapper function now receives two extra arguments, one Writable of key type and one Writable of value type. The emit method now has zero arguments. Wh

Liked the post! Interesting point about allocating too many Writables. This problem is an indication that *Writable classes are poorly designed. Instead of having public constructors, they should each have some sort of static method, akin

Microsoft actually tries to enforce the policy of "you shouldn't read Open Source code". For example, they block access to Sourceforge from the Microsoft campus.

I don't think it's an extreme approach. It would otherwise be nearly impossible to prove that Microsoft's code is not derived from GPL'd works. At least without revealing their code.

Yes. I'm no fan of oversimplifying things.
