I think the uber point of the article is that, even with the help of types, you cannot design the whole type structures until you know the entire picture. Suppose you throw some autonomous to your character (e.g. pathPlanning, preprogramme

Don't know about how the grandparent commenter learned it, but I had a similar experience when I went through Meisner acting technique classes. Meisner emphasizes reacting to the scene partners, and its basic training includes perceivi

It's interesting that the similar "stretch of lifetime" is seen in Japanese ancient document (Kojiki), and probably in other cultures, too. Those ancient tales were inherited orally before recorded. Could it be that the sto

This is all great info, thanks, but the flood came well after the world creation, didn't it? Actually at the first reading it occurred to me, too, that the fact became the base of the flood legend, but it happened before Australopithec

Aren't they basically the same thing? In your example 2., you can say you still distribute $15K to everyone, but you set the progressive tax rate so that if you get $60K the extra tax amount would become $15K that cancels the flat dis

The compiler knows the type of the value it switched upon and generates code accordingly (efficient code on int values, dumb if-chain on other values), doesn't it? Sure it may become hard to tell if the code is efficient or not, but t

And C++{n+15} would have tons of new fun features so you can enjoy learning them in the next 15 years!

Is that the part describing Lubet's criticism? The Malcolm's main point seems to show "how badly the brand of Southern populism Finch represents has aged over the past fifty years", and the lengthy description is just t

Hmm, from Gladwell's article I did perceive his aim was at the naive interpretation of the novel, not at the novel itself nor Lee. To me the article was very informing; when I read the novel I did see it's not just about what&#x2

On standard UI: The kind of unity of UI I want is a bit more than common cut/copy/paste/save/open shortcuts---for example, using the same incremental search or mark-and-kill-ring-save keystrokes on items in the long pull

To be precise, the film is based on a stage play and character portrayal came from it, too. The theme of genius vs mere human can be traced back further, to Pushkin's short play "Mozart and Salieri" in 1830 [1]. But I agree

This is clever. I agree that usually just picking some obscure name would suffice. Fun to know nevertheless.

The situation may differ greatly among fields? For CS, ACM digital library is $99/yr which is pretty reasonable (I've been paying it for years and willing to chip in that range even ACM allows the author to put up the submitted v

Using macro fails if I happen to pass a variable named _args as one of the arguments to bar().　Is there any clever trick to simulate gensym in C macro?

Either side can be responsible. Communication is a mutual process, and if your goal is to communicate, you have to do what you can do---if you're writing, try various tactics to find which one can penetrate the reader's precognit

No, the station isn't staffed since 1983. I think the photo with a desk, books and timetable is a waiting room.

Sadly it is pretty common that someone copy & paste some witty tweet and get attention. There's even a service to discover that. In Japanese it is called pakutsui (pakuri (= plagiarism) + tsui (= tweet)).

It doesn't need to be the default/transparent behavior, isn't it? Mechanisms like LD_PRELOAD can be used for the same purpose in more controlled way. Not having the current directory in PATH / LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a well-

His previous bookstore had also a gallery space for rent, so it may be the case that this new store's model is actually closer to a gallery---author or sponsor may pay some fee. Just guess; I couldn't find an official document st

I dug a bit. The legal ground of charging families of victim is this: When a person dies, his legal heir inherits all the rights and duties associated to his property (NOT his property itself. Civil Code, article 896.) The company asks

Assuming the family members aren't a guarantor, I think it's highly likely that they can win if they go to the court. But even if they're not liable legally, they tend to feel morally responsible and reluctant to fight in co

As patio11 mentioned in the sibling response, it is likely that family members had signed as guarantors. It is very common that the landlord demands that, even for short-term lease. If family members aren't guarantors, then there&#x27

That's norm. What's more interesting is that, if everybody gets choice, will some of blue-collar jobs such as janitors actually gets paid a lot more? Somebody has to do it, after all. (I'm not disgracing those jobs; as Pro

It'll be interesting if people can choose jobs freely and wages are purely determined by supply and demand, then those jobs people love to do tend to pay lower, while menial jobs people don't want to do tend to pay higher.

Yes, that's it. Thanks. Like 12 Angry Men, the original is a stage play.
