To all the folks replying that someone will fill the gap in front of you: that’s the point. It isn’t about reaction time. It’s about letting traffic flow easier, not fighting with each other. It removes the need for your fellow drivers to f

That was an incredibly condescending answer. In 2015, we continue to develop incorrect CSV parsing and production when there are ready solutions in the wild for the spec ( http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt - 200

I am disappointed in this challenge on two levels: (1) A great many solutions fail to actually produce proper CSV: what would you do if any of the names or arbitrary credit card number inputs had quotes or commas in them? Big waste of time

Perhaps something like a Talk page on a MediaWiki platform? It would be out of the way but directly connected to the page you are on, a second set of comments accessible by a MetaTalk filter.

I can't speak for the other two systems compared, but to be clear, OP's examples involve more than "dictation and simple searches"; Siri also controls the device. Without entering the text messaging or email apps, one c

This is not two-factor authentication. It is important to know what it means. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-factor_authentication factors are: * Something only the user knows (e.g., password, PIN, pattern)

This sentence really clued me into my problem with the essay. As I read it, I found myself tripping over the sentences, especially this one. I had to reread it in order to understand what the author was saying. Today's punctuation ru

1. I think we should challenge the definition of "global variable". In what context is the variable global? The traditional definition is that the context is the whole program. However, in imperative OOP [1] code, I find that p

Brief rant whenever I read this tripe, and reading it afterward reminds me of psychobabble, but I am ranting against psychobabble anyway... I thought the notion of willpower being a finite resource was debunked ( http://lifehacker

I believe you may be saying that if your goal is to make somebody say "Yes", then the toolset adequate for the job is one based around manipulation. One may manipulate through direct force, emotional means, whatever it takes. It

While true, I happen to have both kinds of devices (updated, not old), and we found the Facetime experience MUCH less pixelated and less jumpy than the Skype experience over the same network, back-to-back. In further tests, the Google Hang

Every time I see the phrase "open source", I mentally add "but not open binary"; how do I know that the service that is run uses binaries that are compiled from that open source alone? with trusted libraries? After all,

Maybe the critical question is: If no light at all comes from the object, is that the same as it being dark, or is it a complete lack of stimulus? If the brain receives noise, it fills in the blanks ( http://www.sciencedaily.com&#

My guess: The object that does not reflect light to you ceases to exist in your vision. Nothing comes from that direction. Your brain would then attempt to compensate -- as it does for the blind spot in both your eyes -- and fill in the v

Rebase is for cleaning up history. Merge is for introducing new features. Use the best tool for the job. Always "git pull --rebase"; it is fast, easy, and meaningful. You can change the default configuration and probably should; same goe

The closest Clojure has to car/cdr is first/rest. It supports "cons" but only for creating sequences. Traditional Lisp car/cdr is one-location/other-location, and its cons puts together pairs of data. Often this is used for constructing

Can you go into more detail about your architecture (a quick diagram of the connections between these components)? I am very interested -- my own dabblings have been leading me in this direction and firm belief, but I would love to learn f

I guess I will be your essay-writing dissenter. C is a high-level language with fewer features than many other languages, is not necessarily the engine behind other languages, has the problem of its programs poorly implementing a percentage

Having done this for a while, I can solidly say that the relationships and structure of data has been consistently better when designed as a set of schema tables than as a set of classes because they are especially constrained. The const

I didn't get it either, but my guess: The engineering student took a literal view. You told him to evaluate the statement; you gave him a rule. If you say all odd numbers greater than 1 are prime, then so be it.

From someone who likes to look at these kinds of libraries... D3.js vs animation/graphics libraries: D3.js targets processes over arrays of data, perfect for designing views of data; these other libraries (like raphael.js, jquery.svg, etc)

I agreed with your first post. I am also holding out for the thought that there are exceptions. Interestingly, this comment stood out to me: "That is mostly because eBay is a generally badly designed site. They have one of the most averse
