the write-up mentions that it was reported with another person. Still a very good find.
Perhaps more than you think! I just read this passage in William James:

Habit is thus the enormous fly-wheel of society, its most precious conservative agent. It alone is what keeps us all within the bounds of ordinance, and saves the children of fortune from the envious uprisings of the poor. It alone prevents the hardest and most. repulsive walks of life from being deserted by those brought up to tread therein. It keeps the fisherman and the deck-hand at sea through the winter; it holds the miner in his darkness, and nails the countryman to his log-cabln and his
lonely farm through all the months of snow; it protects us from invasion by the natives of the desert and the frozen zone.

It dooms us all to fight out the battle of life upon the lines of our nurture or our early choice, and to make the best of a pursuit that disagrees, because there is no other for which we are fitted, and it is too late to begin again. It keeps different social strata, from mixing. Already at the age of twenty-five you see the professional mannerism settling down on the young commercial traveller, on the young doctor, on the young minister, on the young counsellor-at-law. You see the little lines of cleavage running through the character, the tricks of thought, the prejudices, the ways of the 'shop,' in a word, from which the man can byandby no more escape than his coat-sleeve can suddenly fall into a new set of folds.
Depends on your problem domain. It absolutely is battle-hardened and conservatively evolving, but it grew up in the telecom industry, and most of its "mainstream" uses (Facebook chat, Whatsapp) are in messaging.

Erlang strings, for example, are lists of bytes, which will blow up your memory requirements and algorithmic complexity if you do any serious string parsing. You're shut out of common libraries like protobufs. There are libraries available for things like HTML parsing, MySQL, Postgres, and even Apple Push Notifications/Google Cloud Messaging, but many of them are some guy's personal project on GitHub rather than something that's gotten widespread use & testing and has plenty of StackOverflow posts for help.
acqq may be cherry-picking and bashing islam, but you were proselytising - you weren't just talking about the poetic quality.

Your video boils down to "it is because it is". It relies on the faulty assumption that a human or collection of humans can't possibly write something that's very beautiful. It's not even an internally consistent argument - somehow humans are able to analyse and critique the poetry in the koran, but yet not able to create it? It simply doesn't follow that because something is beautiful, only a god could have created it.
Point 5: using ||=

@total ||= (1..100000000).to_a.inject(:+)

How beautiful can Ruby syntax be?
+1 for Coleridge, especially the first stanza of Kubla Khan [0].

Also, I'm surprised to see nobody here recommending A.E. Houseman. His Reveille is my favorite poem:

...
Up, lad, up, 'tis late for lying:
Hear the drums of morning play;
Hark, the empty highways crying
'Who'll beyond the hills away?'

I don't know anything about the subject but still feel like it's a strange explanation.

To me it seems like it would be a great advantage for the species if you could reproduce past the normal reproduction age, if you made it this far it probably means that you are perfectly adapted to your environment.

What about the depletion of resources? I imagine it must have been pretty rare for an animal to be able to survive past the end of his reproductive years, and unless you live in an island I had the impression resources shouldn't be an insurmountable problem.

And if it is, then I guess a big part of your population die, but the other recovers as there are less mouths to feed, and it's still an advantage to be able to reproduce when you're old.

Again, I don't know anything about the subject, and like the author, I'm not that convinced about the Grandma Hypothesis either.
> non-gimmicky this Gehry building looks on the outside

I feel similarly about a lot of Gehry's more well known work.

I'm interested to see how the building performs. If only I worked in Facebook management...
Bingo, or even creating their own exploit and releasing it in a way that does not tie back to them.

Realistically, a backdoor is the worst option for the NSA. A backdoor would be known by the people who implemented it, who, assuming it's a cooperative venture, would most likely be at the company itself. A backdoor would also be most likely living in the real codebase, able to be discovered by others, and, if somehow it leaks, it'll point directly at the NSA.

An exploit does not live in the codebase, could be blamed on others, and will produce the same results.
that page says its hasn't been updated since april. i am curious about the current tenants.
I am aware you are being facetious...

But by questioning why he voiced his argument, you validated his argument and thus the reasoning behind it. Your question, posed as such, answers itself, in a way.

What beauty.
Nope. Ours has been down for over 2 hours now - and it's nearly an hour since the 'linodes are on their way up' message :(
By "his" I was referring to you, under the assumption that "max harris" is a male name. The fact that the ideas aren't yours is something I'm glad to see you admit to, but you are the one signing your name to them all over this thread and behaving like they're original, thoughtful comments on the subject rather than a pseudo-religious recitation of someone else's dogma.

Pop quiz: What would Ayn Rand call someone who just parroted someone else's intellectual work instead of coming up with their own?

P.S.: I'm very supportive of people reading Ayn Rand, if they're so inclined. In fact, if anyone wants to reimburse me for shipping, I'm willing to send them a free copy of Atlas Shrugged or The Fountainhead. That's an inclusive or; I'm trying to get rid of a lot of stuff before I move, so if you want both, let me know. I only have one copy of each, though. My email is in my profile.
Alternatively, I googled it after being dumbfounded by the seemingly random specificness of the post (does anybody say "I had a few beers while I watched my Panasonic"? No, everyone just calls TVs "TVs"), and discovered that the poster was just making an attempt at being smug.
I like CL, though if there were a book called Common Lisp: The Good Parts a la Crockford, it would probably describe the subset I like to code in (at least as long as I got to add LOOP.) In other words, CL is huge and there are large parts of it you need never use. I guess the intricacies you mention are annoying, but somehow those things never bothered me (e.g. I'm fine with CAR and CDR; they're short and symmetrical). I'd say Scheme is better for exploring ideas and CL is better for getting things done, so it depends on what you want. PCL targets CL, of course, so if you like the book and have gotten over the painful Emacs setup hurdle you may as well stick with it.

newLISP isn't based on CL or Scheme, it's its own weird thing that is regarded as leprotic by the rest of the Lisp community.
I had just brought up a new instance. Why not choose Fremont? It's right down the .... oh dammit.
I don't think I made myself clear enough. I'm not really looking for features, but good ux for the person(s) managing the site after delivery, the non tech client.
Half of mine are up, still waiting on the other half. More than 2.5 hours into it now.

I think you'll find Windows based alternatives to be comparatively priced to be honest. And you really can't do better than the Macbooks trackpad.

But I'll second the XPS13 dev edition, or at least waiting to see how it'll do.
