There exist very accurate tests for autism, but /getting/ a diagnosis can be difficult. A teacher spotted autistic symptoms in me back when I was ten and recommended I get tested. It wasn't until three years later that a coup

The classic C/C++ versions are recursive, and using the STL, c++'s quick sort looks very similar to the functional one. From cppreference.com: http://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/view?id=0b2cec4d8c69ffaf http:&#x

There do exist object-oriented functional languages (Ocaml). Functional vs OOP is a false dichotomy, though a very common one. I prefer to use functional techniques in imperative languages with simple objects.

How about: def move_pos(x): if random() > 0.3: return x + 1 return x def move_cars(positions): return map(move_pos, positions) I do not believe that functional programming benefits from b

I called "bar" with "<int&&>" to demonstrate that you can bind an rvalue-ref to an rvalue-ref, not to suggest that's how it should be called.

At least "forwarding" specifies "for use in perfect forwarding", but it must be made clear that this term refers to the syntactic phenomena and they are not distinct from rvalue references.

I did not mean "any rvalue-reference" and bind to "any l- or rvalue", but that you can have an "int &&", "int& &&", "const int& &&", and even "int&&a

Not a bad article, but I'm so sick of the term "universal references". Perhaps useful for explaining things to the uninitiate, but a more technical understanding requires the knowledge that rvalue references can be made from

This was my thought as well. Sherlock's method can be seen as a special case of the scientific method that focuses on gathering all the facts before making your HYPOTHESIS. (You can't call it a theory until you've tested it,

The most popular neovim feature (based on reddit's reactions) seems to be job control, although not enough people are using it. You can start an asynchronous job via `jobstart('name', 'prog', ['arg'...])`

Technically, those are free functions defined on strings, not members functions of the class string. But also: std::to_string http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/to_stri...

This particular feature isn't offered by anyone else, so I would not write a program with it and force anyone else who wanted to compile the code to use an unsupported, bleeding edge version of GCC. But I /will/ create a branch of a project

They seriously want you to pay for meditation? That's absolute bull crap. The best advice I've ever gotten for meditation: Just sit. Make it at least 15 minutes. Maintain good posture; some of the positive effects of meditation relate to sp

What a wonderful piece of programming history! This deserves more up-votes. How many programmers are alive today who can speak about their experiences in computer science in the 60's?

Because they don't do the same thing. The Haskell code tests if that last char was a space and returns b or toupper(b). The C code checks if the current char is an alpha, then checks if word is set. That's a two branch algorithm. What mysti

I realize that, but the tax cuts disproportionately benefit the rich, still ( http://money.cnn.com/2012/01/03/news/economy/income_inequali... ). Low income houses would still pay low taxes, just not no taxes. Plus, the idea that ending the

That is not to say that the level of inequality is not greater than it was before or is elsewhere. The extent of inequality has grown in the states ( http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2011/02/income-inequalit... ) and compares unfavorably

Actually, the facts back him up. Look at this article analysing the deficit (specifically, the graph near the top): http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=3490 This shows tax cuts as the largest cause in our deficit. I won't arg
