   You don't need to be a developer or a wizard to be proficient in writing regular expressions. Regular expressions are used by all kinds of professions; that's why regular expression capability is included in almost every text ed

   CT scans cost $500-$4500 in the United States. Heart surgery easily costs over $100,000. Given your cavalier attitude toward the enormous costs of the health care you received, I'd argue that you're not the one that needs protecti

   I differ from you in that regard. I learn tactics by seeing them played out. Once I see the pattern, it gets burned into my memory a bit, especially if I missed a tactic that led to my defeat.

   Anyone who thinks the FDA is overreaching here has little awareness of how stupid the majority of the world's population is. The people that this protects don't know how to even read this statement from the FDA. Perhaps the startu

    The computer program Fritz actually has algorithms to imitate a human's analysis. It's one of my favorite tools to improve my game, since it searches databases of master-level games to find games that progressed in the same way an

    As a library, I'd have no problem selling a service that used this, with the idea that for an MVP we could launch and then switch out with a more robust library.

    It's not state of the art, but I just ran this guy's code with about 100 samples and it was spot on. It should be noted that the "state of the art" in sentiment analysis is actually pretty far advanced. For basic polarit

    No; the defending champion automatically plays in the World Chess Championship. The problem with the champion playing in the candidates matches is that the champion and the candidate will play each other before the championship title match,

    As much as I would love for companies to do this, I don't think it's really to the benefit of either the company or the applicant. While many companies set absolute caps on maximum value that a given position can bring, a person f

    Here's the advice I was given: if you're going to go with an opinionated framework, go with Rails. If you really want to use Python over Ruby, go with Flask. His thought is that Ruby is more dogmatic than Python by design, so Ra

    I don't get the password aspect of this. A password database isn't exactly something I want to write to constantly. Notes, on the other hand, need write access all the time. Is there some level of protection against file corruptio

    I have no idea why, but CoffeeScript gives me a "kid on Christmas" feeling when I code in it. I never realized how much mental load went into counting braces and curly brackets, how many times I've tried randomly copy-pasting

    I'm not a physicist, but it's irritating to me that this article is using weight and mass interchangeably. I doubt they'd ever allow this, but the "simple" solution is to bring the weight aboard the ISS and capture

    The "superiority" that you're accusing professors of is actually a reaction to the power struggle brought on by students with the mindset of "I'm paying for x , therefore I get to make the rules." I adamantl

    I think you're taking that conversation the wrong way. When I saw the exchange, I sympathized with the author immediately because I've been in this situation many times . It's very distracting when a professor is giving an

    Why are you critiquing this script like it's a consumer product? Obviously any developer who wishes to use this will have do some extra work to make sure things run smoothly.

    Anyone who is coding for cases like this will likely need to handle those kind of user errors. Not a big deal, though, considering a lot of apps do this already anyway.
