I believe the idea is that the best language for any given situation will vary depending on the situation. The point, I guess, is that Python isn't really optimal at anything but is very good at a lot of things. Realistically, there ar

When my children were young I wrote them some games using Love2d in which they and their pets were the characters. It was just intended to be a bit of fun, and it was, but they were actively involved in the game design and the artwork. I al

What a scary notion. I'm Egyptian Christian descent (genuinely, my father was from Alexandria). Do I get a golden ticket? If I want to set fire to the library are we good with this as its "my people"? What about if I asked an

This comment is a gem of nationalist thought. When the Bamiyan buddhas were dynamited, exactly whose culture were the Taliban "preserving"? It is entirely reasonable to believe that culture and history have an importance independe

Not sure left and right are good metrics. May I suggest that Breitbart is politically full English and The Guardian is politically granola?

I have to say that I'm a little confused about the point of this article. In my experience, the people who make the type of argument she describes tend to advocate hard work, education and financial prudence. In fact the sort of attrib

With the caveat that they're not quite adults yet (eldest is 16) so there are no actual results to this experiment... The children get regular money put into their accounts. We don't put many restrictions on what they spend it on.

> Why would you make such an assumption? Because it would be wholly disingenuous to presume the opposite. The article in general and the headline in particular is juxtaposing tax against revenue explicitly in order to elicit the response

Thank you. I wasn't aware of the history of the 51st. That's some story.

It is true that the withdrawal was a unilateral British decision and the French wanted to continue fighting. It is also true that most of the rearguard were French and were, presumably, ordered to destroy any heavy weaponry. Anyone who beli

Not exactly. The only facts here refer to a study post-Reunification that said that East German women had twice the orgasms of West Germans. The rest is a couple of anecdotes that seem to fall suspiciously in the "it was better in my d

Sorry, are you saying that the People's Republic of Bulgaria was not run by Bulgarian Communist Party? Or are you saying that there wasn't a People's Republic of Bulgaria or that the Bulgarian Communist Party wasn't comm

I don't have to guess, I read it. Also, I don't agree with him. His whole premise is that he doesn't think there should be major change at Google as he seems to like it like it is. I find his approach to reaching that conclus

The problem isn't with the science, it's with the misuse of the science to add apparent credence to flawed logic. So yes, across humanity there are statistical gender differences to the choices people make. The flaw in the logic i

Might be a stretch to say that it changed everything but my wife getting a Fitbit that displayed calls and texts reduced my frustration levels somewhat. My wife tends to keep her phone in the bottom of her bag and would often miss calls. Ha

I don't know what the Google chap was referring to specifically, but unequal gender representation in leadership roles is definitely skewed by unequal gender choices over child rearing. It strikes me that there's a perfectly sensi

Lua fully supports scripting in multiple threads i.e. multiple threads can each have a Lua context that runs scripts independent of the other threads. Within a context you can run multiple coroutines but these are all run on the same thread

Sure. For a while I worked at a company that made props for aircraft and hovercraft. We had a robot arm that painted them. This was about 20 years ago so it was fairly unusual, at least for me as an engineering student. The problem was that

Indeed. I live in a 1920's built Arts and Crafts style house. We had some carpentry work done a couple of years ago and the chap that did it also happened to specialise in period restoration work for the National Trust. He estimated th

Right, because constitutions don't generally have a mechanism to be amended? And the judiciary in countries with constitutions don't tend to apply constitution to areas that they were clearly never intended e.g. encryption. The id

I entirely agree with you about the value of maintaining diversity but Iv was pretty much pointing out that Esperanto was vetoed in order to prevent an increase in diversity. French was the diplomatic lingua franca and the French delegates

Threatened may well be too strong. Not given a choice is probably closer to the mark. I strongly suspect that what he meant here was that he accepted the reasoning for asking all the big banks to participate. Not that he agreed that JPM nee

by lucozade 9y ago
I'm a bit confused by your link. This just confirms (albeit in Dimon's testimony) that JPM declined TARP until they were told that the Treasury et al wanted all banks to take it. Did you read something else into this? I don't

I agree with you. From my POV this isn't a net neutrality issue. This is a promotional offer. It would be a net neutrality issue if the ISP blocked B and C as services so you were forced to only use A if you wanted music streaming. Or
