Whether the voting public is a "representative sample" or not, it does not change the main point of the GP.

I don't think this is anywhere close to being as nefarious as voter suppression attempts. If the increase in early voting schedules (even assuming that there is an intent to manipulate on the part of one side) are favoring one side, it is e

If you think the situation applies, PUCL ( http://pucl.org ) might be an option. See the contact page for phone numbers. If nothing else, they should know some good lawyers.

As a parent of a kid who is currently undergoing this "torture" of the admissions process [1], I beg to differ. The Common Application is definitely one of the ways the pain is alleviated. I wouldn't want to imagine the times when every c

Perl: # 97 characters for my $i (1..100) { say join("", map { {3=>'fizz',5=>'buzz'}->{$_} unless $i % $_ } 3,5) || $i } # 81, if those pesky spaces are removed for my$i(1..100){say join("",map{{3=>'fizz',5

You'd still be wrong. Soghoian's "contribution" to the article is just his tweet cited by the actual author and nothing more.

Is it racism only when you consider the group as a whole? Can't one be racist when talking about individuals? [To be clear, I am neither supporting nor refuting the GP's claim that the birthers are racist.]

If I remember correctly, that would be "mtve" [1] (who sometimes went by a slightly longer "mtveurope"). If I had to pick the top three all-time Perl golfers, he would be one of them. [1] http://www.perlmonks.com/index.pl?node_id=143426

While I generally agree that the discretion must be observed when working on production code, I don't think the author is advocating these to be of wide use. These are very useful when you play Perl Golf, and can be pretty powerful in the h

I did not paste the Clojure example from anywhere. I wrote it. It was not intentional on my part to write broken code, but if it was, it actually nicely illustrates my point.

If he chose his example without consideration of idiomatic Perl, then his attempt appears even worse. Further he chose to remove all spaces from the example, presumably to demonstrate that Perl code is "not clear". I have not written a sing

To the OP: If you have to take a cheap shot at Perl in order to demonstrate the benefits of Clojure, then you have failed. For the record, I am not implying that Perl is above criticism. But, showing a single arbitrary perl code segment, an

I came across a HN comment recently that has a bunch of resources: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1033503 It's old, but still is useful. Also, see http://dev.clojure.org/display/doc/Getting+Started
