> The original paragraph form is probably easier for someone unfamiliar with anything beyond arithmetic Isn't this because of the fact that at the time (628 AD as you say) there wasn't that much to be familiar with beyond arithmetic? (I

Is something like this sufficient as a proof? It's so natural and easy, yet convincing and accurate, that I have hard time believing it. :) Even if it's just an explanation it's still awesome. How I wish I could find materials teaching math

I'm a little bit late to the party and haven't had time to read all the comments yet, but I like the idea and the fact that it's written in Erlang. So I just wanted to ask: is it intended to be open-source? I couldn't find the link to the s

I cringe in pain every time I read such posts. I'm almost entirely self-taught, but I was teaching myself for nearly twenty years now and am still learning, even faster now than ever before. And I will learn for the rest of my life. Hell, I

I have nothing against singletons! (I'm referring to your somewhat defensive "I think it was an appropriate solution, especially since this singleton class is used internally,...") I was just curious about what 'singleton method ' meant, a

Singleton method? I'm admittedly not a DP geek, could you please tell me what it is used for and point to example reification(s)?

I think what he meant is that it's impossible to "make" someone a great programmer, as in "transform him by applying external force". If so, then I agree - it's impossible to "teach" or "convince" someone to write for example readable code,

Just stop it. I mean - stop worrying about mathematics, this instant. If you want to develop software your hard work and passion will trump everything, be it natural talent, better memory or plain intelligence.

Smalltalk. You can fork any block IIRC. Edit: sorry, I posted reflexively before reading other comments. Turns out I'm not the only one who values Smalltalk to the extent that I actually want to remember something about it :)

I read your piece with mixed feelings, I felt some kind of frustration. Then I thought for a bit and realized what I actually felt was jealousy and a bit of insecurity. After I recognized this it took me less than a minute to dismiss them

I disagree. The essay you link to is absolutely fabulous and I couldn't agree with it's conclusions more, but I know that I want to be a programmer. I 'always' (since 10) knew it and now, nearly twenty years later, which were filled with pr

Well, I think it depends on the person who you're trying to teach. I, for one, spent nearly two years before I even started learning Haskell, precisely because I can't bear the thought of using constructs I don't understand. In this two yea

I'm not sure (yet) how this site works, and especially how comments are (up/down)voted, but I noticed that this one (parent) is displayed in grey-ish font. Does that mean it was downvoted? If so, I disagree with whoever did this. My opinion

Well, I know full well that 'sexual assault' does not have to be linked with physical violence, but lack of it certainly makes it somewhat less serious than other cases, does it not? Also, the victims did not want to persecute him, they jus
