This is a rehash of lisp's meta programming abilities. We get it, with lisp you build the language.

I pretty much adhere to this -- I buy an older car, somewhere in the 5 to 10 years old range. I pay cash. That way I don't worry about totaling it. I know that no matter what happens to it, I can just replace it with maybe a week's notice w

This is pretty good actually, because one thing that always bothered me about previous articles that said the same thing, was that those articles didn't have any concrete examples of how you might implement a class hierarchy instead of a co

Wait, didn't "Really Simple Syndication" start out easy? Isn't that the point?

This sort of contradicts what I read before about the industry being hit at the same time by the recession + more access to free/pirated content.

Luckily one of my talents that happens to not be useless (unlike most of them...) is memorizing long strings of arbitrary digits. I could still get into most of my accounts. In any case, there's password recovery.

I have different levels of passwords: 1) Doesn't matter, it's fairly weak and I use it for spammy stuff. 2) It matters, I use it for accounts I care about, but nothing that would ruin my life. It's strong, but it's used in a couple places.

Game theory started out fun! But this is a neat thing, good for Yale.

It's still very, very possible to earn a living from blogging, but it takes more creativity than just slapping some bland, unfocused articles up on a wordpress installation.

I don't need a whiny top 50 [insert inane opinion about inane subject here] story. Bad OP!

He's right, immigration is insane. My wife is British, one in several million smart, highly educated, and she could barely scrape in.

When you get a scan like this, they give you all the slices. When I had it done I got them physically, they might just do them digitally now. I even got a 3D model of my skull, it was pretty awesome.

This is begging to be gamed -- people game for "karma" at most sites, and if karma is cash on yours, people will get ruthless.

Over generalization of two really diverse cultures, then a huge leap to a conclusion that has no evidence backing it up. Flag?

I too was a night owl. Healthy diet, exercise, and something exciting to get me out of bed in the morning changed that.

Interesting, but seriously, wouldn't it be easier to take some time to learn self-discipline, even while groggy? Alternatively, go to bed earlier so you wke up at a decent time on your own. I wake up between 5:30 and 6 am every morning with

Why would I switch from horses to these new-fangled automatic carriages? Horses get me where I need to go.

It's actually quite useful for a variety of purposes. One example is favicons which could contain text in this face.

I was confused by the part that said white skin allows more sun light to be absorbed. I'm quite sure this is wrong: Dark skin means more light is absorbed, and therefore doesn't bounce back at the viewer's eyes. the only explanation I can t

That isn't a new discovery either. I've spent a great deal of time studying New Zealand and Māori culture and history specifically (so much that I actually changed my keyboard layout to Māori so I could write in the language)... this is old

It's under "Products" but there is no place to buy it or see a price. That's what I want to do.

You'd guess wrong -- there is an over supply of art teachers, and under supply of math teachers. If you are in math, you can get a job teaching. If you are in art, you probably can't get a job teaching [art].

Too dense, man. Only people who already get it will get it. People who don't get it, will still not get it after reading. Try to explain it to your 5 year old daughter, or your 80 year old grandmother.
