For x == 0, this also blows up. And for x > 1, which base you use matters. E.g. if x == y == 2, >>> from math import log,e >>> 100 * log(2,2) 100.0 >>> 100 * log(2,e) 69.31471805

To anyone copying/pasting: the whole command extends far to the right of what's visible.

Interesting that we can detect it at very small concentrations. Maybe this is an adaptation from some proto-mammal or even earlier ancestor whose environment had few pockets of fertile ground, and detecting this smell was a good way to find

It didn't sound to me like this is an automated system. Just humans pretending to be who they're not.

The point is, though, that you never just want a piece of wood with a hole in it. You want a piece of wood that has a hole in the middle so you can put a rope through the hole, tie a knot, and make a swing. Or you want a piece of wood that

michaelochurch, I don't see an 'SWE 1' there. You also don't take into account what I've heard about 'slotting'. Are these two related?

I recommend reading the original; the summary doesn't capture its style (and may not capture its substance, for all I know). This is interesting as a piece of rhetoric as well as advice.

Perhaps you shouldn't have skimmed. You will find what you need on the left column of page 32 (page 2 of the PDF).

Much of this advice is applicable to any Unix. For instance 'man man' is good advice on a Mac, too.

Or what about a pre-commit hook that, instead of transforming the version you're committing, just compares a transformed version to the version you're trying to commit? You could warn on commit if they don't match, plus maybe provide an opt

It seems so easy to pick up that I wonder whether it's wise to restrict hiring to those who are 'Go developers'.

ah, then maybe it's the "15:10" that doesn't work. That's what the op originally had instead of 15m10s.

Fyi, to link to a specific time from another page you need to do &t=15m10s rather than #15:10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=t...

I'm mildly disappointed that this article has ignored both Diogenes and Lisp. All these connections seem tenuous to me, so what's one more? Why not say Diogenes was the first Lisp-programmer philosopher? After all, he had it right, but was

This is cool. A minor critique: to click 'Next' repeatedly requires you to move the mouse again and again to wherever it's repositioned. If you move it to the side, you can avoid this and let people read through as fast as they can click (i
