   I think you underestimate the differences between people; that has definitely not been the case for me.

   1) Have a blog 2) write something (do not finish!) 3) release it (minimally, stick it on github or something similar) 4) blog about it (and post the blog entry somewhere where people will see it, aka here) 5) guilt will drive you to make it

   In the context of the article, the "it" in "whenever it is used to access the internet." refers to the computer that you're using, not your gateway or some proxy machine. Also, it's not true that an IP address is only assigned to one comput

   "changed the way programmers... get their answers" != "changed the way I get my answers" Clearly, based on their traffic, they have changed the way many, many programmers get their answers.

    It's so far from a perfectly controlled experiment as to be useless. You have sales before the ad ran (when it wasn't the super bowl ), and you have sales after (when it was the super bowl ). That's a huge confounding factor; everybody

    but the big discontinuity could be caused by the frikkin super bowl . You know, the one where everybody buys chips and soda and beer. (This is actually a bit unfair of me; my brother makes models to analyze the effectiveness of ads for Nie

    And how would they be able to distinguish between a sale due to an ad and one that's not? Or are you merely saying that "these companies" (like CareerBuilder? or do you just mean Coke, Bud Light, and Doritos?) have so much revenue that mere

    You really think HTML5 adoption will be held back in the minigame market because the source is visible? I see how it's an advantage, but I think if that's the full extent of why flash will win long-term for minigames, you haven't swayed me

    I agree with you 100% that the linked article sucks awfully. Your proposed study, however, is so riddled with confounding factors that to call it a proof is nonsense. The man the article talks about does have lots of papers giving evidenc

    for the same reasons of style and clarity, I prefer my imaginary syntax to the lambda you've defined. And if you want to make it impossible, just imagine it's "print baz(z)". Anyway, I'm familiar with why Guido doesn't want them, and I tota

    OK, I'm a huge python homer, but I'll take a hack at that. Sometimes, for reasons of style and clarity, I want to define a function inline, but python doesn't allow me to. It forces me to do: def x(bar, fram): z = foo(bar, fra
