the algorithm to figure out left/right hemisphere dominance from MBTI type is pretty easy... J is left-brain, P is right-brain. there's some potential subtlety but that's the general rule

INTJs : programming as science, maybe a little art INTPs : programming as equal parts science and art this comes from the fundamental difference between left-brain and right-brain conception. namely, the right-brain folks can hand

yea it's unfortunate. the good thing is the current administration's Race to the Top requires states to remove protectionist laws before even being considered for the grants http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNbDv0zPBV4#t=12m

well, the president had what i think was at least a couple dozen speeches on why it was important, and in many of them he was quite detailed. and the kind of reform that republicans were proposing was in the opposite direction... towards de

you really couldn't expect anything different considering how all-out the opposition went, combined with the fact that people respond to negative statements easier than positive statements. it's never a good combination for the people tryin

i haven't ready any of dawkin's books, but it seems to me the "point" of this argument isn't a logical one. the point is to express to theists the kind of "feel" that atheists have regarding religions, namely that any specific religion is

it was party, based on what they saw as a far-right "grassroots movement" called the Tea Party. they chose the strategy to completely go against democrats to try to deprive them of any victories, in order to keep the population angry ("con

that goes for the creature designs as well. there were "dogs" and "horses" in the movie. and in fact i'd argue that goes for the plot itself. a lot of people criticize the plot, but i think it was a very deliberate choice. a "screwy" or

i think one of the main confusions is that people think it is a statistically-constructed personality test like the ones that are designed and bred as such

i don't understand why people think it's impossible to grok languages on first glance. even if that were the case, having more languages under your belt (especially non-similar languages) makes the next languages you learn that much easier

dynamic scripting languages are my friends, but i've been writing a handful of programs in C#/WPF lately and i really don't have any complaints. having experience with all sorts of esoteric languages, i was afraid C# would feel "limited."

i don't see what's wrong with downvoting on disagreement. does it hurt people's feelings?

for the sake of language geekdom, it would be done in J something like this: - +/ p * ^. p where p is the array. you can even remove the duplication of the array with a so-called hook: - +/ (* ^.) p

that 'show body' thing looks like Slickedit ( http://www.slickedit.com ) which is a self-called "source editor" and has Vim and Emacs bindings. it supports a bunch of languages. if i didn't use so many of the more advanced features of Vim
