Contrary to some sibling comments in this tread, I'll recommend getting the type of guitar that you want to play to learn on as well. There are several kinds of guitar. The three most distinct types are classical guitar (nylon or gut string

Most heavily optimizing compilers do strange things to the code. You wouldn't want to debug an -O3 program, just as you probably wouldn't want to debug with TCO turned on. Luckily, in the lisp and scheme families (possibly also other image

I have to admit guilt here :-) Nice that someone found it too. +1 for GEB.

While the author talks about free software in general, it seems more to me that he really means Ubuntu and Unity and perhaps common desktop applications found in that "ecosystem". What's the usability of bash? GCC? Emacs? And perhaps more i

They are obviously not professional enough. Either the MB team, or the range supervisors, or anyone else in that chain. If your range is situated so close to populated areas that you can fire a projectile from a makeshift cannon out of the

Apparently not big enough then. This was a lucky case. Wern't and apparently couldn't have undone any bodily harm that was caused. If they indeed were several kilometers from anyone else, then they have miscalculated the ballistic trajector

I hope they are judged harshly for this incident. If they are blasting cannon balls through peoples houses and cars they have no control of what they are doing. Sending balls of cast iron through habitated areas cannot be dismissed as an "u

Please note how the "other" category consists of nearly half of the downloads. I would say that this adds a lot of uncertainity in this dataset. Without knowing the distribution of the OS-es that shows up in "other" this data is pretty much

Searching isn't the same as querying. -Q is for operations dealing on the _local_ repository. -S synchronizes your local repository with the remote repository. In a way installing could very well be -Si (-S --install), but installing is th

That's just how CLI apps work, there is nothing elitist about it. Its "cd" and "ls -la" and "cat", not "change-directory," "list-directory long-format everything" and so on. The learning curve might be steep, but it's well worth it, especia

Your graphs make it very hard to compare the performance of the different collectors. What about putting all of them in the same plot, making that logarithmic, and include cumulative time (on a separate linear axis)?

That would be splendid. I'd even pay more if i can get room for my legs, but much more importantly have the opportunity to actually lean back in the seat and not break my neck... In otherword have a neckrest that's not designed for 150cm t

Indeed. I refuse to read this. Haskell is probably awesome, but this site is clearly not. Time to get noscript running again...

Most norwegians are not religious. The stats are skewed in direction of Christianity because everyone is a member of the government church per default. That doesnt mean they go to church, nor does it mean they are religious at all. Christia

However, they are extremely expensive to build and keep running, and (perhaps) even more vurnerable than battleships which atleast had armour. And modern silent submarines, for instance those of the Swedish, German, and Norwegian navies rep

The main difference between chess and Jeopardy is that Watson has to interpret ambigous (and awkwardly presented) "answers" and interpret what will be a suitable "question" to that. Both these two are really difficult. Watson needs a lot of

Wouldn't that still be a finite state automata? You can create a submachine representing the regular expression transition conditions, and just attach that at the state you wanted, resulting in a finite state machine. Of course this doesn't

So what exactly then is the definition of understanding, vs being programmed to act like one understands? Do I, for instance, understand pain when I remove the hand from the hot water, or is it because the reflexes in my brainstem are progr
