If you can understand splay trees, I don't think linked lists will give you the slightest problem.

The original submission leads to an obnoxious NYT login form, while this one can be read freely.

When asking a question, you should use a question mark. Your last comma should be a colon or semicolon, or even better, you could split the sentence in two. I find it perfectly readable anyway, but I'm quite sure the comment is technically

All the examples I gave have at least one native compiler. In order: gcj, SBCL, GHC, llvm-lua.

Not sure why the downvotes - perhaps the "wat" sounded too trollish - but yes, this strikes me as a very ignorant statement... even good old Java is another example. So are many compiled Lisps, Haskell, Lua...

I respect the author's dedication, but I think he has his priorities completely wrong (and I told him so last year): how can you commit something like "cleanup and performance boost for color-coded output" when there is not even a proof of

(To make my comment clearer: there is no working compiler, no code generation, not even a proof of concept of what the compiled code would look like. It could become more interesting, but so far it's just an imaginary language making wild p

AFAIK, this thing doesn't work any more than it did a year ago...

The slow diesel engine can be connected directly to the propeller shaft, making it mechanically very efficient. I could be wrong, but I don't think a 90 RPM engine with extremely high torque would be appropriate for hooking directly to an a

It also sounds better when you consider that the booleans are called True and False: isUserAMonkey -> Yes/No userIsAMonkey -> True/False

For the record, I'm a Canadian from another province, and I've never heard of such a thing either.

I suppose there are cases where people want to go to certain places, eg. "the shopping center", without having specific enough information to look it up with a GPS. Also, the driver knows ways that may be faster than what a GPS will suggest

I don't think you can say "after supplier releases own commercial app" without being a little dishonest: I have been using this successfully for more than 6 months for both London Bus (now called London Travel Deluxe) and London Tube Delux

My impression is that it is a strategic advantage of course, but not a "big advantage". Knowing that the enemy is weaker then expected is good, but it's not directly useful like decrypting Enigma communications or acquiring research materia

What about Qt? It looks good for me, although I never tried on a mac.

The poster's point was that having a tough boot camp does not justify the highway police salaries, since marines do a similar camp and earn a lot less. Thus saying that CHP bootcamp is a breeze for ex-military does not make that argument no

Isn't a FLOP a "Floating Point Operation"? If the chip has no FP unit, it does 0 FLOPS.

Yes, my point was focused on this specific case (explaining why it sounds entitled for a fresh graduate to say he can just pick up anything), not on someone with a very wide experience. You seem to have neglected the part where I was talkin

Why would it not matter? I don't understand why troopers being ex-military has any relevance to the issue.

Programming languages can't all be picked up that quickly, since semantics may differ a lot. You can't say "Give me any programming task and I'll pick it up". What if you're a Web guy and the task is a C++ medical application? What if we're

I agree with the grandparent post, because I think it's misleading to lump all of mathematics together. I'm very bad at mental calculations and basic arithmetic, and I couldn't memorize integration formulas if my life depended on it, so I'v

As CPUs have become more capable, their energy consumption and heat production has grown rapidly. It's a problem so tenacious that chip manufacturers have been forced to create "systems on a chip"--conurbations of smaller, specialized proc

Yes, and it's better than what you describe. For example, I only typed "delic" and it found your post instantly, since it actually does a search on the full text of pages in the history.

Oh my God. I've been using Opera for close to 10 years and had no idea that I could ctrl-tab windows. Opera has a lot of features, even weird stuff like a BitTorrent client, text-to-speech reading of documents, custom search engines (eg.

Then focus the infrared light on a thermoelectric generator instead of a cube. The generator powers a widget. The dissipated heat from the generator and the friction on the widget goes back to the walls and is later reemitted as infrared. T
