This is a very silly equivalence--you're just glorifying vhosts and method dispatch.

This does not mean that RE prices react suddenly; it takes years, usually, and you see markets not clearing and inventory sitting around rather than price corrections. Otherwise there would have been plenty of RE steals to snatch up in 200

You'd think so, although doesn't this usually take a couple of years to happen?

What if the car is flying through the air aside a suspension bridge at 23:59:59 and :60, and crashes into the water a second or two later? Has the loss occurred the moment the impact with terrain becomes inevitable, or not until impact?

If you exit by cashless exercise of options, it's (usually) then blasted by the full effect of wage/income tax.

Aren't commercial leases typically of much longer terms than residential leases and less convertible than homeownership?

I suspect the parent is talking about leverage; and, your view of cumulative mortgage payments ignored the time value of money.

And the post at the head of this thread contemplates the utility of Visa/MC in general. Not really a concern leveled at Apple's thing in specific, and I wouldn't want my concern about consumer protections to be construed as

YMMV but I absolutely will not bite on non-creditcard-facilitated payments until/unless the same or better consumer protections are in place.

You got it--folks who've dedicated their entire careers to the nuances of blood testing were screaming about this for years. The unsuitability of capillary blood for many tests is not something that can be overcome with will, desire,

It's not an accusation leveled at CF--it's a consideration of possible effective strategy in general.

Do you seriously believe public markets would be kind to these companies in the foreseeable future?

Tracking cookies, pixels, etc., are implemented by server-side software; perhaps the matter you would like to contend is what the meaning of the word "placed" is.

The Times in the first (and only working) link uses fallout in the "problematic aftereffects" sense, although I can see how this might be confusing.

> toxic stuff that falls from the sky I know... "radioactive pollution." The public would not expect a civilian airliner to be nuke-powered.

Ditto, it was my impression that direct control / mechanical linkage was the underpinning for the "if it's not Boeing I'm not going" mindset.
768.
by sk5t 8y ago
Nobody with a full command of the language uses "fallout" to refer to a debris field. It is most commonly used in the abstract sense, to refer to negative after-effects, or else in the technical sense, for radioactive pollution.

Wonderful demonstration. I can't help but wonder--as someone who has flirted with R but certainly not committed--how much time and practice it takes to acquire decent fluency with these half-magical incantations to become productive.

Kotlin is still a pleasant language to use, and some of the ideas have some good carryover to Scala, with quite a lot less culture shock than going right from Java to Scala.
772.
by sk5t 8y ago
Yeah, Kotlin has some "enhanced switch" type stuff, but nothing that compares to Scala's matching with unapply, list extraction, etc.

Ditto, if something extremely special happened in the years 2008-2012 with regard to frameworks, its cataclysmic significance seems to have escaped my notice. Rails? /shrugs

RFC 4180 is really a well-intentioned attempt to document popular ways CSV is used in the wild, but it does not set a standard. There is no such thing as CSV well-formedness in the way that exists for XML. Can a CSV field value span lines
775.
by sk5t 8y ago
There is no standard for CSV per se, although experience suggests most files have it. Use head/tail as needed to preserve or avoid it in pipelines. The GNU utils are usually the way to go; the Mac/Darwin/BSD variants have so

Unfortunately, it's very challenging to hire wedding scientists nowadays, since the HFT firms have snapped them up.

Seems reasonable to flag it--new account, straight-up copy and paste even including "priduct", karma farming, no good can come of it.

This ("shouldn't be a linear increase in support requests") is true some of the time, but not all of the time in all lines of business. Make a thing foolproof, and the world will go on generating greater fools, you will see

Scala collection processing--and syntax--will, after not too long, quite possibly put you back to disliking Java. "Why do I have to keep asking for .stream()? Where is '_'??"
