But even if the exhaled vapor is perfectly safe, they'll still try to ban them.

I want to see the excuse for banning these from being used indoors. It'll probably be along the lines of "children will be influenced or something". Gotta love the nanny state - not!

I've always wanted the core semantics of Clojure - immutability, the core abstraction of Seq over lists, vectors, and maps, with some strong type inference, and a nice python-like syntax.

Freedom of speech is and should be limited, even in the USA It's pretty creepy to see some on HN so adamant about limiting free speech.

I'm just not getting it. I understand the whole "let's make JavaScript the assembly language of the web", but "real" games (not 1987ish 2d scrollers) seem to have an uphill battle in the browser. IE probably won't ever implement WebGL, an

I find it amusing that how we Americans love to bash North Korea and Iran. So what are you saying? That everybody else isn't privy to your insight about India, China, and Africa? So you don't see something unique about the regimes in N.

Yeah, it was very creepy how the mainstream media never questioned the ramifications of an entire city being under newspeak "lockdown". I'm sure there are lots of authoritarian types in government who are very pleased with how docile the sh

I'm sure there's a Paul Krugman article coming up soon.

Yeah, Crytek makes it a point of pimping their engines quite a bit. The problem is that they're not comparing their engine to Minecraft, but to Unreal 4, Frostbite 3, Id Tech whatever, etc.. Is someone going to choose to play Crysis 3 beca

I like this book. Even though the beginning of the book is aimed at people with no development background, it does pick up steam, and it explains prototypes well.

Yeah, with the size of government now, you need half the school day dedicated to civics K-12. The Obama crowd would love that.

I don't know where you're deriving social norms from conformity. If anything, with Europe being traditionally much more leftist than the U.S. there has been much more conformity of the individual to the state in Europe.

I'm sympathetic to your post (and more sympathetic to the blog post), but Google has overstayed the web's welcome. is just emo bullshit. The guy that replied to you is right, and hopefully I'll start following that advice too, because I'm

Hate to say it, but....."Clippy" in your IDEs, but way, way better. Or to give more detail, "intelligent" agents that know some things about your domain, rather than just the language like we have now with Intellij, Resharper, etc.. And I

That's a fake. Real laser weapons like seen in Star Wars and The Terminator can be seen coming out of the gun at very fast speeds of hundreds of miles an hour. Also, a blaster like Han Solo had would have blow up that drone as soon as the

Taking out of context, but I found "Having a television antenna is every American’s right.” to be pretty funny.

And it should be noted that most frequent flyers have, since 9/11, severely moderated their personalities WHEN ONBOARD THE FLIGHT. I had routinely seen passengers chastising flight attendants and even arguing with them prior to 9/11. Aft

Who's this - the ghost of Hugo Chavez gracing us with his presence? What kind of immoral, capitalistic people are in charge in the US The kind of people that don't throw you in jail if you just deny something in public, like in Germany, F

In Norway everybody's total balance is published by the government. I really find irrational some ordinary people desire to keep stuff like net worth, salary, etc. secret. Wow, that's horrible. I'm assuming it's some kind of "societal goo

Even if they didn't obfuscate the jar files, it wouldn't be open source.

It's pretty obvious being isolated from real social and physical connection with other humans tends to have a severely negative impact on people's mental and physical health No, it's not obvious. It's really sad how America has built its

One thing we had for an action item of our retrospective is to start consolidating meetings. We had a huge problem with non-delivery people scheduling meetings willy-nilly, just because people's calendar's were free. I've put the kibosh on

Who's doing standups with a 6 member team for 30 minutes? That's nuts. We're a 6 member team and our standups are typically 5 minutes or less. We stopped that "what you did yesterday, what you're going to accomplish today, do you have any r

Or, you know, it could be like Mozilla's vice president of products said about NaCl: "These native apps are just little black boxes in a webpage." In other words, Flash reincarnated. Who cares? Asm.js apps are little black boxes.

That's why I think people should take a look at the next generation of Rebol http://www.red-lang.org/ . Fast as C, expressive as Lisp, and more readable than Ruby...well, that's the goals at least ;)

Are you really surprised that someone like Krugman would argue "seems hard at this point to envision search and related functions as public utilities, but that’s arguably where the logic will eventually lead us." That is the "logical conclu
