For relatively simple data, like small structs, you can use memoization to achieve immutability. Programming in Lua has a section on it. http://www.lua.org/pil/17.1.html

Yes. However, C# uses the convention that capitalized "fields" are actually properties, and lowercase ones are true fields. For example, Foo.X might be an x position, returned from a getter method, and set with a setter method. In

The height limit is still 256, I believe. There is a mod that uses cubic chunk loading to avoid this.

I have a summer birthday, and our schools use a September cutoff, so my parents had me do kindergarten twice, so that I would be the oldest, rather than the youngest. Instead, I ended up skipping 1st grade after that, negating my age boost.

At my high school, there were definite groups, like the athletes, and the top students, and skaters, stoners, band kids, choir kids, etc., but there was a huge amount of overlap between them. You could find someone with any combination. My

At my high school, just about every AP student participated in sports. School sports are good because their cost is only around $100 for a season, with generous financial aid for those who cannot pay, vs. local teams which can be thousands.

There is another program arranged in a similar circular shape that calculated pi experimentally using it's own source code as the circle to test.

However, it says in the problem that you are offered the switch before you open the envelope. So, you can't know if your original choice was $20 or $80,000.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but here's my analysis. There are two envelopes. One contains a value x, and the other has 2x. You pick an envelope at random. Let's call the envelope you choose z. The variable z is a random variable

Unfortunately, the scanner would need to reverse an md5 hash, if I understand correctly. This is not impossible, but not very practical.

Well, there are several on the ISS.

It's better than that -- you don't have to trust either compiler, just that they both don't have the same backdoor.

Of course, languages like Java have StringBuffer objects. In Lua, if you are generating a string, and you know that it will need a lot of concatenations, you can use something like this: local string_buffer = {} while condition()

There's also a Toupee Fallacy effect going on -- you never see a good looking toupee - because a good looking toupee is indistinguishable from real hair. The same way, you will never notice normal homeschooling kids - because you will

Win-X gives a menu with the control panel and a lot of other options. Once you get used to it and look up the keyboard shortcuts online, it really is better than 7. Unfortunately it isn't discoverable.

I know that I was trying to hike near Mt. St. Helens in Washington, and Google maps gave directions along a road that was gone in a landslide at least 3 years ago. In fact, we never found the way to the trail -- several roads were washed ou

Part of the US system is protection from tyranny of the majority. Prop 8 in California banned gay marriage. It was passed by a 52% majority of the people, but struck down in court. That said, I think that everyone should attend a school. Ev

Honestly, this seems like a parody to me, but they are serious. Sure, some sites are open-source. But I wouldn't expect every site to be open source.

AP Statistics needs a graphing calculator or a computer. I think a calculator is a more realistic option. At my school, you could buy a TI-83 or TI-84, or you could check it out from the library for the year, so it didn't have to cost

If you're talking about the ones in Washington, weren't those operating illegally under Washington law and federal law? They didn't attack dispensaries because they were dispensaries -- in Washington some will be legal soon -

I get the same thing. On my machine it's 80% slower. One solution is to use a string comparison. The high number is only 7% slower in that case. http://jsperf.com/qsmflkjtest/2

My English textbook in high school had the text of the speech, and on MLK day we watched a portion of the video.

There is a definite difference. The .gif has a dithered appearance, while the video is blocky. A good animated picture format could be similar in size to video, while maintaining the advantages of a gif.

If it were illegal for all companies, you could probably assume each company would have approximately an equal number of men and women. They could charge the men and women the same price - the average of the old men's and women's

Yes, I think that would be a good option. When you enter the theater, it pops up with a dialog - "You have entered Regal Cinemas - your phone is going to theater mode. Press here to cancel." Making it opt-out rather than opt-in wo

It seems, from this translation, that removing .de and 0049 information is only a part of the process. They probably do something else, but it is probably impossible to filter out most German's info.

You could definitely use BitTorrent sync securely for personal use, like DropBox. The issues with illegal downloading are totally separate. If you are downloading a public torrent, you join a swarm and upload pieces of it to others, where t

Washington State withholds Federal education money from schools and instead puts it in the general fund. We don't get a choice to improve the schools with more funding, we get a choice to raise local taxes for school funding, or disso
