It's a problem when businesses still have to pay the employee's salary while she is on maternity leave in addition to the salary of her replacement. Also, there is a lot of productivity lost during the transitions. If it were me, I would pr

@georgefox, I do think that you shouldn't have children if you can't support them, but that is their decision to make, and they should bear the responsibility for their decision. @brown9-2 In theory it does, but if businesses don't hire sai

In order to afford such a plan, governments would have to impose really high taxes. That would be a much bigger disincentive to production than the safety net itself.

Are you saying that liberal arts majors can't be entrepreneurial? It takes more than engineering prowess to make a successful product. Also, although science and engineering degrees do hold the promise of a higher-paying job after graduatio

I'm pretty sure the internet itself favors an ad-supported distribution model. In a fee-based model, in order to make a profit, you have to limit viewing to those who pay. In an ad-based model, you make more money by getting as many people

1. Everything in Python and every function returns a value, but that method just happens to be None if you don't explicitly return. You could probably pretty trivially implement a class that wraps an object and returns the object itself if

It's the same. The Ruby 1.9.x (YARV) interpreter uses a GIL as well, although like Python, there's a way for C extensions to release the GIL.

Apparently, that part of the site is now "under maintenance". Real classy white house.

Exactly, I've worked with the Lua C API before, it was fairly easy to use. I've looked at the V8 API before. Compared to Lua, it is far more complicated.

Many C applications use Lua as an embedded scripting language. This program would be very useful if the developers of the application wanted to extend scripting support to Javascript (and compile-to-JS languages) without having to modify th

The US Patent Office is part of the Executive Branch, so the President certainly does have the authority to issue orders to them.

Instead of answering OP's question, most posters seem to be saying "learn language X because it is my favorite language and the best programming language ever!" Completely unhelpful, although not entirely unexpected. If you want to learn a

Many companies are reporting a shortage of skilled labor (mainly in the IT sector). How can this exist alongside 9% unemployment? It exists because the American workforce is not trained for the changing job landscape that has been brought a

And now I realize I've just knowingly spammed myself and given you my email address and phone number just to satisfy my curiosity. Very well played, sir.

Oh, the old external image exploit, eh? Seems like a great way to annoy your friends. Most email clients block external images by default for this very reason. Also, the image url is broken, so the message doesn't actually show up.

The internet in China isn't that good. Transfer fees are slow, there is a lot of government censorship, and not many people can afford it. Why invest in a risky internet startup, then, when there is much more money to be made in manufacturi

I hate to sound like a grammar nazi, but is there a reason there is no capitalization on the front page? And I second everybody else. If anonymity is one of the features, having Facebook as the only login option kind of defeats that purpose
