This is an excellent development. Indeed, when researching just now, I saw examples of people throwing strings at Module#const_defined?, which no doubt get converted to symbols straightaway.

This is not an ignorant question. Any half-experienced Erlang developer can tell you that you use `list_to_existing_atom' rather than `list_to_atom' if you are ever doing dynamic things with atoms. So, if you're trying to accomplish dynamic

A small thing: If you are targeting Chrome, or modern browsers in general, use Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype, 'grep', { enumerable: false, value: /* ... */ }); rather than Object.prototype.grep = /* ... */ T

Just one small nit to pick, Xfce uses the project's own window manager, xfwm. Xfce and GNOME have their glib/GTK+ core in common.

"It's understood that people who don't have enough social connections, they have as high a rate of mortality and morbidity as a pack a day smoker." How is it understood? I've seen things here and there about an active social life in old age

Just because they say they want to monitor Amtrak doesn't mean they can afford to. There are too many stations and the mode of travel itself doesn't lend itself well to surveillance (you board and leave as you please). I'm not saying they c

As long as they've got guys randomly swabbing old folks' palms to test for bomb-making materials, and all of the other ridiculous trespasses on personal dignity that comprise their much maligned "security theatre," I won't be flying. Amtrak

I think that the old protestant work ethic, which of course is what originally made American capitalism so strong, is more to blame.

No, but suicide is not the only alternative (you could try to flee the country or otherwise go into hiding). It is just horrible that somebody already battling with depression for so long got caught up in the twisted game that is the prosec

What you are arguing for there is quite common-sense. Who would advocate the "throw up your hands, you're screwed if they're in the DB" approach?

A more cynical observation is that users with high "karma" point totals earn this by parroting the majority opinion or otherwise treating comment threads as a game.

It will block your process (just like a `receive' does), but a good Erlang/OTP system is generally comprised of a great many processes. If one process can block, your design is wrong, and the system itself is designed to be robust when thin

Further, you have a class of individuals whose job is to make new laws (Congress and its machinations, as well as the state and municipal equivalents). If they don't make laws, the perception is that they are not doing their job. It was the

Comparing intellectual property law to chattel slavery is a bit tasteless, no?

And so this buy-in occurs at the library level rather than the language level. One might see that as a good thing.

The parts you mention are largely in Alexandria, Fairfax County, not The City of Alexandria, and they are quite different too. In any case because of its huge Korean influence, I don't know of any place in the area that is at all like Annan

Nobody is denying that northern Virginia is part of the DC Metro area. That doesn't make it magically not Virginian any more than it makes Prince George's county, etc. not part of Maryland. Your friends would say they were from DC, or the D

Alexandria and Annandale are not remotely alike ... Annandale is purely suburban and is the Korean cultural center of the east coast ... Alexandria is an old city with grid streets, Metro service, beside a river, etc. etc.

It's pretty patronizing, as a Virginian, to hear somebody say that Alexandria is an extension of DC. Alexandria far predates DC and there was strong opposition to its integration (Arlington didn't exist at the time; the entirety of Arlingto

It is true that I am not a liquor drinker, but if you replace this with free beer or wine, it still is just a perk, and not something that I'd cite as improving my quality of living.

I must've been unlucky in my visits then. I definitely found some tasty Afghan places and such around town, but the low prices seemed to be linked to poor ingredients -- cheap canned vegetables, fatty meat and such, overly seasoned to mask

Many of those restaurants serve exceedingly unhealthy food. Not quite sure what to say about the assertion that a little free booze == good life. But I'm biased, because New York City is not for me ... there are so many ads you feel like th

I'm specifically thinking of the downfall of the Russian old order as Russia was losing the Great War, and the general upheaval of aristocracies on the losing side of that war. The earlier defeat in the Russo-Japanese war also precipitated
