it's as you say. it is contrived. but no more contrived than the basic integers. these are abstract systems that we have contrived in ways that are most useful to us. the natural numbers just seem more "real" because everyone in most c

i don't see the difference. there is input and output in writing a novel too if you want to trivialize it like that. and programs have multiple execution paths, both potential and actual, and can have successive versions as well (e.g. Cor

i actually write a lot of code on paper, when i'm figuring out how to do something algorithmy or otherwise tricky

> Direct read/write access to the environment as a map. this is one of the things i like about Lua (which is listed there as a source of ideas) i definitely don't like the choice of square brackets though, it's very ugly and hard to rea

yes, there's abbreviation expansion. i do well enough with keyword completion though

if you look at a lot of the popular students, you'll find they are often of certain MBTI types (ESFP/ESTP). there's also a particular type (ENFJ) that is insanely charismatic (Oprah Winfrey is an example,) and they are also very popular in

on a more general note, i see it from the perspective of obvious design (natural or otherwise) what's more reasonable from a survival point of view, that that cut you just received on your left arm from a knife show up in some sort of termi

here's an explanation of gravity http://www.amazon.com/Gravitation-Physics-Charles-W-Misner/d... long story short, gravity is the curvature of spacetime. objects of mass cause the curvature, and the curvature in turn causes objects to mo

thanks. i remember trying to get a hold of the PCI standard a few years ago. there went my little hardware interface project ;_;

i'm a noob about these things. could you explain what you mean?

i haven't used ruby excessively, but one example i found just by looking at it a bit is that blocks are redundant with lambdas to me it seems the language is trying to promote higher-level programming by making what is perhaps a common usag

i think it won't be so easy to compare because it's easy to noob vim. i know people that have been using it for a while yet still think of command mode as a "secondary" mode

i think it's simply that Blizzard actually thinks about what they're doing. i played various MMORPG's, and many of them had such obvious game design no nos -- like losing experience upon death it's as if the companies were just shoving tog

i started watching Family Guy on there but it had ADVERTISING! i don't mind ads around the player, but interrupting the actual content is worse than a popup for me. of course, it's not as much advertising as on TV, but it's something i do

possibly. though i think the difference is significant enough that many people (like myself) will not use Safari for that single reason. you might argue that just as many people will use it because of that reason. but if it's true that pe

i don't know about on Mac or Linux, but on Windows the Safari font rendering is unacceptably ugly. it's fuzzy and blurry. it's the single reason i'm using Firefox instead right now i think Safari uses a custom font renderer, which on Wind

i was thinking about proposing this as a feature. because when dealing with submissions, the constant is that i look at both the article and the comments

actually it would be done with '5>>', which is a lot faster, or a command such as '>iB' (indent right inner block) i've written many times why Vim is uber, but the short of it is that Vim is a high level editor

i discovered the 'new' link several months after i joined. the reason is because i thought new stories automatically appeared on the front page, and would simply sink fairly fast if nobody upvoted them. but it turns out they first arrive

don't be "weird," that's just weird. be yourself. i say this because when i was younger, i had pride in being "weird." at some point though, i realized i was just dicking around with what other people thought of me. it's a waste of time

or perhaps only being able to downvote a story once it reaches X points, so it doesn't get downvoted to hell but doesn't stay up too long either

actually the gamecube is more powerful than the PS2, something exacerbated by the ps2's lack of anti-aliasing. so i dunno about the PS2 rivaling the Wii

i think uppercase is too "strong" for the sort of relaxed company Google is seen as, and uppercase letters in general are rigid/disjointed -> ugly. also, the uppercase G in their font isn't as recognizable/signaturable as the lowercase

that sounds like a slippery slope. this is the first political topic i've seen in a while, and it's about a fairly significant milestone. i think people know this isn't a general news site
