Furthermore, when this is implemented in ObjectiveC, the Apple app store will require all chicken-chicken-based apps to be fully cooked (and all eggs hard boiled).

You're making some pretty serious assumptions regarding WikiLeaks' intentions, and even if you're right, assuming whatever advice they offer is good is about more than their intentions, it's about a very difficult inte

We, the people, chose leaders and were betrayed. That doesn't just apply to the US... Absolutely true. Unfortunately, in my opinion, one of the things that simply does not work in modern democracy is the election system, two-party de

This outrage at American reactions is terribly hypocritical. Yes, people -- regardless of nationality -- should be upset when they realize their privacy is being grossly violated without cause, by any government. However, people seem to

Hopefully they have plenty of checks and tests to make sure this isn't the case, but having no knowledge of the details and simply reading this article, my thoughts at several points ran to "conspicuous instrumentation failure.&qu

I hope no one looks at this as advice... I was in this position for a long time, and looking back, it's a completely unsustainable (and, in my opinion, irresponsible) method of development. Problems with PHP itself aside, rolling your

Unfortunately, this doesn't just touch on whether a thing can be judged in any specific capacity objectively. People "like" or "dislike" things for too many reasons to reason about them. There's a sort of masoc

Hell yes. There was a place in the Twin Cities (and by some accounts there still is) that served it on tap... a whole pitcher of pitch black slightly-chocolately slightly-coffeeish gloriousness is a wonder to behold.

Yes, but even subjective judgements are invalid if they're not based on objective differences. I disagree here... subjectivity is intrinsically at odds with objectivity. They may sometimes work together (mostly in "I agree with

Nope! Wine isn't bullshit. Painfully overpriced anything is bullshit, but then that usually (as in this case) ends up being a matter of opinion. I'm a fan of Scotch whiskey, and I think Johnny Walker Blue Label is usually worth

This is just no way to live. If you find yourself doing this, you're either needlessly paranoid and worrying yourself into an early grave, or you're justifiably paranoid, and you should reconsider the choices you're making re

As a Clojure noob I can see 'map' and quite a few other functional things seeming seeming like magic to programmers who aren't used to the paradigm. Until you get used to thinking that way and using the tools, they seem a lot

That it shouldn't matter (with which I agree) doesn't change the fact that it does matter to people . Taking the teeth out of a threat that's largely posed by public opinion is vastly easier when you can convince said pu

That's one reason. However, I have been in the position of being desperate to sell a home (many people were at the time and in some places still are, I'm sure), and "test drive" or any equivalent simply does not make sen

Then it seems likely you're either correct and working with very poor engineers or making very poor and potentially incorrect assumptions based on your own lack of understanding of the code. I've been brought on to several project

That's one way to look at it. Another way is that this is totally irrelevant to any real individual's world view: Why should the fact that people die and suffer make death and suffering somehow things to be ignored? I stopped ridi

I think it depends largely on the source and target languages and how similar they are (in what ways I couldn't say with real certainty). Japanese -> English translations are pretty much always hilariously bad, but then we get at le
