   I hear from a user on another forum that a guy on his dorm floor got arrested and had previously bragged about participating in an attack on a group who opposed the food drive in Orlando that got shut down (user hasn't mentioned hearing abo

   I disagree with the conflation of "applies to life in general" with "applies to every situation you could be in." I would say it is, for example, a mistake to interpret lesson #2 as "never choose delayed gratification," but it is very impor

   A "life lesson" may still have a non-universal set of (common) situations to which it applies.

   What do you mean by "can't do recursion"? A regular grammar can definitely be recursive.

   it is obvious that flows are conserved Given that government can issue additional currency, conservation of flow doesn't seem particularly obvious to me.

   The rate of padlock production doesn't stay approximately the same when people double the amount of resources they put towards producing padlocks.

   Though I wonder where "Wizard" lies on the spectrum between praising for "Hard worker, lots of effort" and "Naturally intelligent"? I was under the impression that it draws heavily from both.

   Don't patent trolls often operate by buying up patent portfolios?

    So how do you deal with situations where there is more prerequisite knowledge than a particular listener is willing to take the time to hear?

    Now all publicly funded research in the USA and UK must lead to open access publications. I think this rule is specific to the funding agency.

    It's not exactly special insight, but presumably all the people involved have experienced a number of encounters with Ted whereas for flying saucers, it is generally the case that all parties to the conversation have not had a number of en

    Language can be expressive in ambiguous ways Having more ways a statement can be interpreted does not make it easier to identify the correct interpretation, so I don't think this is really a reason people have a harder time understanding

    Maybe we've been seeing different criticisms, but the ones I've seen don't just complain that it's not backed by fiat -- they complain that it's not backed by anything.

    I was under the impression that restaurants tend to operate on very thin margins. Is this not actually the case, or is The Melt expected to be an exception, or is it expected to overcome this with large order volume?

    A lot of what gets taken out or changed by the optimizer comes from earlier parts of the compiler. Producing IR code to match the AST is much easier when you just focus on the tree node you're currently at and don't look around at the rest

    And how do you guys manage to balance the books you WANT to read and books which you SHOULD read? I haven't really had an issue with this. The books people suggest that I ought to read, especially non-fiction, tend to fall close enough t

    Where I live a 3br/2bth house can be rented for <$500. How's the tech/software job market in that area? I can't say I've seen a whole lot of recruiting for jobs in the cheapest towns I've visited.

    I use every mathematics and physics course I took until part way into my undergraduate studies on a daily basis. I think this highlights an issue I have with the meme that with a major in math, you can do anything. What you can do with a

    Definitely agreed, but is there anything more complex than DF? Until someone writes out rules for Azad, I think Dwarf Fortress will remain king of the complexity hill.

    Also at 100k people it isn't exactly "small town America" as the article claims. I started to wonder about the actual size when he mentioned "reasonably extensive" bus service and then four colleges. And maybe my estimation is skewed fro

    Actually there probably are pairs of cities where it could be made to work by using small, low-traffic, convenient-to-the-city airports which can't handle large planes. I think this was the intent -- fly out of Palwaukee, not O'Hare.
