Are there any programs that produce output before they are executed?

Output is a side effect.

He did say this, but maybe it wasn't clear. It's faster because you can skip the meaningless bureaucracy associated with obtaining copyright permission for a tiny run - a lot of dance music samples other music. If you try that w

I think the original expression was poor, it could perhaps be paraphrased as "gun safety is an oxymoron".

Nice analysis! I was thinking safety is a function equivalent to negation. But I agree if safety and gun ownership are separate variables. p | safe (p) | ¬p | safe (p) ↔ ¬p --+----------+----+-------------- T | F | F | Own

Over my lifetime I feel like computers have gone from nerdy thing that nerds do to trendy thing that popular kids hire nerds to do badly and treat like garbage. I guess it's not really surprising that people known for poor social skil

Oh come on, the claim is that safe (p) <-> !p, which is a bit different. Attack the actual claim.

Do you sit through television commercials without talking, getting up, turning down the volume, muting them, or looking away?

I think there's two things here. The first is the implicit or explicit contract to view ads in exchange for getting to view content. Entering into a contract in bad faith or breaching a contract is both a legal and moral issue. When

Alright, these are the statements that made me feel guilt / anger, along with the message I interpreted: > If you walk up to me and ask for my newspaper without offering compensation, and I say "sure, but you have to first look

I think it's pretty simple, any time you're admonishing someone and telling them how they should behave, rather than how they have to behave, it's basically a guilt trip. It makes people feel guilt. This guilt is supposed t

Hmmm, good point. Ok, if you count individual messages, there is more spam, but if you look at the kinds of spam messages, they are way less diverse. So spam goes into one of ~10 buckets (419, pharmacy, fake conferences, view my profile,

> For me, the arguments that fall along the lines of "once it's been sent I can do what I want" don't sit well because they feel anti-social in nature. For me, guilt trips are anti-social in nature. And from a busine

Positive means you found the special thing you are looking for; negative means you just found an ordinary thing. False positive means you thought you found the special thing but you didn't, it was just ordinary; false negative means y

The link you gave doesn't use the word implicit and actually says: > Wherever possible, make sure you have an explicit license to any necessary patents held by the licensor. Then it goes on to distinguish between weak and strong gra

The text of the link itself could contain copyright material. Google says the practical limit 10 years ago was ~100Kb, not sure now.

Well, you could do a double-blind test where you feed pureed lazy plants and pureed healthy plants to your test subjects and see if you can detect a difference. But honestly just the metaphor of humans being like lazy plants is already deep

by rwjwjuwjudf 11y ago
What you said makes sense right up until the last bit about the lazy plants generating low energy in humans. There is no science to substantiate that, like none at all. I think it's more likely that we're living in a system that

People also use something like that to mask a lack of knowledge / experience / understanding / intelligence. Once in a while someone uses big words so well it's poetry, but those people are the exception.

I think that's wrong, because all 4 if-statements are evaluated for each sample. But yes agreed, in general there are lots of edge cases. I actually wrote a finite state machine specification for an elevator in a logic class once. Wi

Also you can decouple the handling of ac and heat, and check the current state to prevent a redundant transition into the current state. if (temp > max + error) if (off (ac)) turn_on (ac); if (temp < max - error)

The higher mg caffeine / mL of coffee mitigates that a bit, probably so it's 2x as bad instead of 4x as bad.

I don't like tipping for those situations where it's unclear how much is appropriate, for instance grocery delivery at the supermarket says their employees won't take tips but then you talk to the delivery person and they say

Yeah, for men, 220 - age is your max heart rate, in theory. And "going to die suddenly" = max heart rate. The other thing that's bullshit about the graph is that there are only 4 evenly spaced data points for what sounds lik

You were asking about design, not implementation. The way Java works is there's a language spec and a VM spec and then organizations are free to implement them as they see fit. So JVM design is referring to what's in the spec. Wh

The JIT and threading / memory model were bolted on afterwards. The JIT isn't even part of the JVM spec. (Unless this has changed.)

There's no such thing as no state. For any conflict, whoever wins is the de facto state.
