Lisp: nil and the empty list '() are equivalent and are falsey. C: 0 is falsey, the rest not.

While we're at it... this piece of ruby is about operator precedences. Not strictly in the truthy falsey department but still slightly in topic. The participants are 1, nil, or, ||, assignment and puts ... puts (i = nil || 1) => 1

He even mentions that it would blow up the stack ... so, no TCO is applied, which does not exist in javascript (at least not in V8). But tail recursive it is, as the recursion is the last statement. What he implements in the variation is a

The better analogy would be: if you business depends on Delta Airlines you should have a good chat with other Airlines to expand your business. It' s a common pattern in the non-virtual world that dependency on one exclusive channel/custome

You could find one answer here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_(data_structure) In short: a data structure where the last thing you put in is the first you get out. To others it means everything you can pile up in one or the other way

While the standard is obviously written with OOP in mind UML is just as well a usable tool for desribing e.g. Erlang actors (sequence diagram) or the functionality buried in lisp packages. It helps drawing boundaries and responsibilities wh

My problems were in fact with Java web services. There are different interpretations possible of the recent SOAP standards (or non-standards, as some are more de-facto than ratified) of smaal details as where to put type-info in the wsdl an

To give a slightly different spin to the discussion: does REST solve some of the problems SOAP addresses? First there was REST, now closely related to HATEOAS... I see the acronyms are coming. How to discover the meaning of data in the abse

I don't know what wsdl's you were dealing with, but I met a fair amount of them who were not consumable by neither php-soap, python and even a java client while trying to read a .net one. The reason people are writing their own envelopes in

As I understand it it's not a problem of the API but the nightmare of layers upon layers upon layers together with the promise that this will be hidden from you. (Not that having to fumble out what that REST service is actually sending back

I would be surprised if the said 100k-1M LOC programs would not be decomposable eventually into 100-1000 line subunits. The "faster" aspect might be overrated, but in a concise language the 1M-LOC might be reduced significantly or might be

Your preference looks a lot like the linux-kernel list.h. (e.g. http://isis.poly.edu/kulesh/stuff/src/klist/ ). Requiring idiosyncratic setup of your list struct though.

About the bees you could check with http://www.sfbee.org/beekeeping.html if it's a city-related problem or just a neighborhood/plant related issue. In some busy city-areas in Europe it turns out that bees have more varied resources there
