I believe you can abstract single match vs. set of matches using monads.

That also works for marketing static typing - now with added syntax errors!

I saw that ad last week, and of the 4 or so randomly selected friends, I was incredulous that one of them had a score of less than 130, and that another had a score as high as 130. Ordinarily I would be tempted to waste time competing with

I can't believe someone listened to that song the whole way through more than 0 times, let alone 30.

We'll still have swap as long as CPUs support virtual memory. Nothing beats using a dumb programming language and process model, and without explicitly deciding anything, being able to scale past physical memory until your working set just

I looked at SML and there seemed to be a few warts compared to Ocaml: http://www.mpi-sws.org/~rossberg/sml-vs-ocaml.html mlton may not allow separate compilation (it does whole-program optimization at least), and it's pretty slow even on

Haskell may potentially be compiled to within epsilon of C when using strict evaluation + mutable state + unboxed types (look at the shootout implementations; the majority are in this style), but lazy evaluation and functional data structur

That may be what they told you at university, but censorship is in fact bad.

Sure, but words mean things. I can't see the harm in knowing the most appropriate word for my meaning, even if most everyone is oblivious to the preference. There are items I find questionable too ("Brokerage is what a stockbroking firm do

I don't see any error.

Sorry, but what's the difference?

no problem - types for left-trimmed, right-trimmed, and both-trimmed ;)

I read Sarno when I was suffering from "carpal tunnel" like symptoms that wouldn't heal. I didn't believe his claims, but his argument about the possibility of self-perpetuating psychosomatic pain made me put more effort into being happy,

Stuart McGill's http://www.amazon.com/Low-Back-Disorders-Evidence-based-Reha... is a good textbook. It's not for the layperson looking for quick recommendations, but he does give some recommendations based on physical and computer models

I mentioned this already, but be cautious of full depth if your femurs (upper leg) are relatively long (to your lower leg, not your whole body). Those lengths affect your hip angle in keeping your center of mass (including the hopefully he

In a vulnerable state (from athletic wear and tear), I've incurred unexpected sharp nerve compression pain (feeling like part of my spine crunching against the nerve, maybe some minor lumbar disk slip) from things like kicking a lid shut on

I agree, but I wish I could caution my younger self about the risk of low back injuries from certain weightlifting activities 1) You can develop very strong lower back muscles (primarily the extensors), but don't challenge those muscles whe

As another comment suggests, there are many muscles acting across the pelvis and trunk that might be contributing. A physical therapist will either correctly identify what specific areas you should focus on, or (more likely) make sure that

Forth is ridiculously simple to implement. But there's no reason to use it, beyond that. It's less expressive than C but not faster.

On the other hand, adding a few explicit lessons on mental 3d rotation at the start of some university's chemistry (organic? - I can't remember) significantly narrowed a male/female performance gap.

Scientology isolates its victims from their (non-Sci.) family, makes ridiculous claims about the nature of the universe, and sets itself dangerously above evidence-based medicine. Does Landmark do any of that? A smart guy I know seems happ

I liked the evolution of persuasion: it would be easy, just use Erdos numbers ... detailed explanation ... to finally, just hiding the details entirely. The accelerated replay is a good default. My attention span would require some kind of

Nitpick: a nonce is supposed to be used only once (safe against replay). I think you both mean the URL is supposed to be secret. I agree that there are many ways (e.g. web proxies) for a URL to become not-secret.
