The 'slow' part wasn't so new to me, but the `id` command and the attendant understanding that smply typing 110 in the interpreter creates an OBJECT and when you assign a=110 `a` points at that object (and when you reassign a

Also, for the first example, it is a scope issue: def foo2(): def foo(a=[]): a.append('ba') return a return foo() print foo2() print foo2() print foo2() print foo2() print foo2() Gives [&#

From the summary it seems that Parsons was more one of the people involved in early rocketry rather than a central and driving figure. It is possible that this is much ado about nothing - the author of the book (as well as the person writin

I love docopt. My big draw is that I write the documentation only once - in the doc string where it should be. Click looks great, but there is no documentation in the code itself. You need to run the code to print the documentation.

To get a clarification: If you change your WPA password will they be able to get the new password - or do they just have a list of the preconfig (factory set) passwords?

One aspect of the 'infographic' has me puzzled. The search area inset (small box) is way south. It has two lines that say projected flight path. But the flight path is way north. Should the lines in the inset box blowup say '

I agree with you so completely. I have seen this all my life, especially with myself. The things I am proud of are not those brilliant ideas lying half finished somewhere. It is those imperfect, simple things that I finished but which work

Lectures often don't have citations. It breaks up the flow. Basic text books often don't have citations. Citations by themselves are also meaningless. The ideal of science that we are taught boils down to one premise and one premi

That's what science is. Stuff said by scientists, often referring to other stuff said by other scientists before.

It's curious to me that you think raising awareness is orthogonal to teaching people self respect.

by kghose 13y ago
To be blunt, this is fairly useless advice. Awareness is important because this leads to support groups and official mechanisms to handle bullying. It also removes stigma.

Bane, Bane. You need to get with the program. In order to appear intellectual and progressive you need to state that the USA is the worst thing ever by bringing up some anecdote about Police State USA. Anecdotes about bad treatment in Europ

For me the Mac is nice because its command line almost matches a linux setup. I use it because it is like a pretty Linux GUI. However finder and preview in 10.7 have some annoying glitches that I really find annoying. For example, in previe

This is a fairly even and well thought out piece but the author does seem to be a fan of 23andme: the author suggests that the FDA should have contacted 23andme semi-formally before because 23andme has a high turnover and their senior manag

I don't understand why kickstarter can not deduct the money from the card/account and hold it until the deadline passes. If the goal is not met all the money is refunded.

This. Relationships take effort. Often, one will think "Why should I make the effort? Why should I make the move? The other person has not contacted me?" But it is better to make the move and contact other people. Because a friend
