That's because a Purist amplifies his paradigm, and the form of object orientation he practices in is misguided.

ES6 generators are (shallow) coroutines This is the first I've heard ES6 generators being coroutines. Is this documented somewhere other than the PEP?

yield is not just a statement, it's also an expression Perhaps you could give an example of yield as an expression? "x = x + yield" doesn't make a lot of sense to me. > Reserved words are unnecessary. I've g

Why would yield as an lvalue or var conflict with yield as a statement? Yes it would be unavoidable if a variable named yield was used as a statement, but that's a pretty strange thing to do. Reserved words are unnecessary. As to conve

I think that we also forget in this age of reduced crime, that it doesn't matter whether or not something is illegal if you have no means of preventing someone from doing it or holding them responsible when they do. We discovered this

Google wants their own protocol to succeed, Mozilla wants a different video codec to succeed[1], Microsoft probably wants to own both. It's very easy to cache HLS, which makes distributing high definition to a large number of people mu

I think this is a great idea. The casual reader will type in the short url (giving the publisher tracking and control), but the expansion will be available long as the print issue survives. This still fails if only an article survives (by c

Except that your shortener service won't last as long as your print issues either. With the original URL there's still the hope that the Wayback Machine is still maintained and had visited the page. It's a hard problem.

His point is a little different: that someone exiting the highway might exit before reaching the traffic if the line were shorter. My point is that a line on an exit ramp which reaches back onto the highway will cause additional traffic f

Since occupancy determines flow rate, there’s not much benefit to trying to “cancel out” a traffic wave This is so fundamentally mistaken as to make the rest of the analysis useless. Traffic waves account for the majority of highway traff

And yet no one seems to do this in games built around this idea like Second Life. Does it take a AAA shoot-em-up title to commission a virtual world worth exploring?

Criticizing Apple for poor design is like criticizing IBM for being unreliable: rather important because that's why people chose them in the first place. I'm still hoping that iOS 7 is an elaborate prank, and will be replaced by s

Your argument makes no sense. It makes no sense today, but it will make sense in 5 ~ 10 years. I bring up individual ownership of self driving cars because that is the environment in which the debate will happen, not the current one in wh

No one drives a self-driving car. If I ride in one that I own, are you still going to call it a taxi? If I am at work and call the one that I own to drive me on a short door-to-door trip to grab lunch, will you call it a taxi then? What if

How so? What if it stopped a block away from you and pretended to be a ZipCar?

Why would a self driving Über be a "taxi", and not a "rental car"?

Why would a self driving car that you temporarily take control of need a taxi medallion? I don't see any medallions in the Hertz parking lot.

I would certainly expect it if Target already does, but then this just highlights how pervasive the problem is. [ http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/02/16/how-targe... ]

The problem is that you can't effectively enforce legislation against it. Even if we were to crack down on the surveillance apparatus that we can see, unlike analogous physical action electronic interception is practical with a tiny am

Where is this blanket outrage you have imagined? There are other programs that do what the original comment suggested. To get hung up on the fact that they are not called PRISM is to miss Sneak's point that the NSA is already doing it.

No one in this thread suggested that the NSA is copying data out of servers except you. It has been reported that they are wholesale tapping communications lines, and trying to collect SSL private keys, so Sneak's sentiment is not wron

The literary evocation is far more powerful than the word-part "soy". Even so, given soy's ubiquity I suspect that no one would seriously be turned off by it at this point. The name doesn't "essentially mean canniba
