What you call "Arbitrary nonsense" is for others good practice. For loops allow you to check all the conditions of the loop in one single line, without having to read the body of the loop, which i consider good practice.

Ignoring alarms in the city isn't about giving a damn about crime. It's about knowing that 99% of the time when a car alarm goes off and you look out your window there's nobody within 100 feet of the damn thing. It got set off by a pigeon or by someone driving too close and making the windows rattle a bit.

Then it goes off ceaselessly all night when you're trying to sleep. That's not a warning system. It's a hair trigger and a nuisance.

NYC introduced an ordinance about 10 years ago severely fining anyone whose alarm doesn't turn off automatically after 2 minutes. It's still legal to have one that's on a hair trigger and gets set off again 30 seconds after turning off as long as it turns off within 2 minutes.

Thankfully they've become less common altogether since then.
In the UK, this is actually legal sadly.

For stability one should be using the LTS release.

And why would one downgrade from 6.5 to 6.1? If they code for 6.1 and want to not use LTS and to keep 6.1 installations around, then they should not use 6.5 features.
Themselves and people who voluntary agree with them because it would be in their own self-interest to be rich with a more successful factory instead of poor with a bankrupt factory?
I think the point the user was making is that most of the language of the agreement is not readily convertible to code for most conceivable agreements (including "deliver goods that are a good faith attempt to produce what was promised"; obviously you can code for "send something by $DATE" or "purchase X units of stock Y")

What is being automated is the least risky parts of a crowdfunding arrangement (counterparty risk on the part of the crowdfunding company and the bank its client accounts are held with). But the ability of humans to override payments (e.g. if the card was stolen, or the fundraising campaign is judged to be a scam) is a risk mitigation feature rather than a bug of a real world payment system. Guaranteeing one side of a contract is honoured instantly, efficiently and anonymously can actually increase the likelihood of contracts not being honoured in many real world use cases.
I agree that for most developer roles most of these are definitely not necessary. I do know from personal experience that learning things that are far removed from any of the regular projects you're working on can provide valuable insights. The thing with these projects is that it's really difficult to know what you don't know yet, and so implementing something that is far removed from your day-to-day workings can provide you with insights that might help you, even though it seems completely alien.

Also, these projects are intended for self-study. Building an entire product from top to bottom is indeed a very valuable skill, but hopefully one you learn on the job.

Kabakov says the app could revolutionise dating: “If you see someone you like, you can photograph them, find their identity, and then send them a friend request.” The interaction doesn’t always have to involve the rather creepy opening gambit of clandestine street photography, he added: “It also looks for similar people. So you could just upload a photo of a movie star you like, or your ex, and then find 10 girls who look similar to her and send them messages.”

Sounds like neither of the founders has been on a date lately.
Crazy Agile API: how to design fast-changing APIs
What I think a few people are missing is that it's not the savings, it's a potential revenue generating scheme. The BBC still has these recipes. The BBC still creates cooking shows and produces new recipes.

The BBC can sell the recipes to their own or other publishing houses, papers, and other companies around the world. For example: the article itself describes how BBC Worldwide (The main commercial for profit subsidary) still has their own recipe site.
I'm pretty sure the biggest reason it hasn't caught on is the syntax.

http://jordi.platinum.linux.pl/piccies/lisp.png

It's the most frequent complaint uttered against Lisp for a reason. All of the other things mentioned in the top responses are addressed by modern Lisp variants. If Rust or Swift were implemented with sexps and everything else about them were equal, they would have a lot of difficulty winning hearts and minds.
I think this. They have killed play store discovery. Only time I use is if I want something specific, like guitar tune for example. Or I find article/intresting read about new app and want to try it out.

That's because the "new open source" is broader in definition.

Sure, but none of that refutes my point. All you've done is point out a logical fallacy in a side comment I made, my argument didn't rely on the side comment.

If the bill does not in fact achieve, or cannot be proved to achieve, more transparency, then saying it promotes transparency is opinion.

And my point about the mere selective choice of words in a headline being subjective still stands.
The more you think about Twitter the more you understand it, including why it works, and at Twitter, lots of people are thinking about Twitter, so they probably know that SMSes worked like conversation, where the tech forced you to be polite, i.e. not ramble on about something without letting the other party say anything, they should just listen. SMS conversations flows like a oilite chat about the weather. Quick, brief and with nice pauses in between. Maybe that's not what they were after but isn't that what Twitter achieved?
I feel like they're different shades of the same colour, at least.
Debugging a higher order function application is harder than stepping through a loop, at least in most debuggers I've used. I use them only when the logic called indirectly is not complicated to require much debugging (and I still wind up converting comprehensions into loops because they are too much trouble).
5 Reasons Why Most Tech Startups Fail
Yes. When I am using app, it is usually already doing everything I need it to be doing.

Example is shazam. Used to be really simple. Big button, listen and get the name and thats about it. Now its loaded with buy now links, the big listen button is gone, wants you to register, takes too long to set up and so on.
I think you are missing that fact that being a "potential revenue generating scheme" is not what the BBC is setup for, nor is it what the UK general public (which the BBC serves and is funded by) wants. This is why BBC Worldwide already exists and is operated at 'arms length'.
You can see yellow fire at the pointy end of the boosters for a moment as they swing round; is that some kind of separation thruster, or is it just that they're dipping into the main vehicle's exhaust stream?
Agreed, but it's not just the parentheses - "car-or-zero"? Really? If you have a language where you can say "at least it's not APL", that's not a feature...
Ah, thanks. So this is not really that useful, since I can't keep reusing the same object. I guess I'll have to stick with the webroot method, too bad.
Agreed. George Osbourne disagrees: "If you've got a website that's got features and cooking recipes - effectively the BBC website becomes the national newspaper as well as the national broadcaster. "
> it's fast, not recursive, and doesn't rely on floating point arithmetic

I think using 'iter' in the name is misleading. Recursion is a form of iteration. In that exercise fib-iter is recursive - it calls itself. That's the very definition of recursion. I think they use the name 'iter' because the overall process is linear in time the same way an iterative loop in other languages is. In this case it's logarithmic in time. The additional arguments and tail call optimisation (guaranteed by the Scheme standard) avoid a stack of intermediate values so it's constant space as well.

If you delve further it's not actually constant space OR logarithmic times since the numbers get large so fast that storage, addition and multiplication and evaluation are no longer atomic and will have an effect on the time and space characteristics.

Still it's one of my favourite exercise from the book and they use it and reference it in Racket's number theory module.[1]

[1] https://github.com/racket/math/blob/5cc1080d90d2603f790abd41...
Agreed. I don't have any objection to the BBC providing the recipes on a commercial basis (via the BBC Good Food website or similar), and even investing in new content if it's profitable, but the license fee should not be used to subsidize a recipe website.

My rights of passage:

1. your own MVC framework
You should do this to appreciate why developers of other frameworks make the decisions they do. I gained so much wisdom from this.

2. Parsing HTML with regex (see here - http://blog.codinghorror.com/regular-expressions-now-you-hav...)

Seriously, just DONT DO IT(tm) -- but if you do, you will eventually learn why you don't want to do it this way, and you might get pretty good at regex expressions

3. Your first mobile app published to the app store
Publishing apps to the Apple app store has given me a deeper appreciation for paying attention to the little details. Also, making native apps is a completely different paradigm than web apps because shipping code with logic errors has such a high cost and delay to fixing them.

4. Port an existing library to a new language
I long time ago I ported a recipe parsers from Ruby to Python for a paid gig. It was such a good learning experience because I had a perfectly functioning reference implementation, which allowed me to go deep on getting the details right.

I had to replicate test cases, documentation, scaffolding, and the code itself while being aware of the gotchas of Python.
Interesting approach. I only think that OpenVPN is not more secure than SSH, somewhere needs to be access point/loophole and SSH is pretty good tested for this. It also does not solve the problem when using a single CoreOS server where you need to run OpenVPN in a container (and I'm also not sure if you can access the host from this container).
tl;dr: code is closed and I can't change it anyway so it shouldn't matter to me.

I hope the response from consumers will be: we understand your position. Unfortunately that is unacceptable and we'll look for another vendor. It is mine. I own a Neo, not getting any of their future products.

Also as a strategic guideline...maybe if you're in the business of security...don't use hardware that requires NDAs. Yes it'll make it impossible to do some stuff and more expensive to do some stuff but I'd say there's really no option to compromise.
What is UD here? Uncertainty and doubt? Do you mean that the comparison using selective breeding is some kind of false argument or a straw man?

I feel like selective breeding is sufficiently similar to warrant comparison. You could easily do both short-term and long-term harm or good with both if you can get people to eat what you breed.
> Nowadays if you are on android you touch the phones together and the file is sent by "magic"

Well this magic is actually mostly BT, because not every phone is Wi-fi direct capable.

> and if you are on iOS you send an email

That's exactly what parent is talking about, this is a "workaround" and not even admissible in all situations.

For example, I wanted to print a photo last year on a photo printer in a store, you transfer the file there via BT, select size, then you pay the photo at the counter. After 5 years of Android, I wanted to try out the other side. Sadly I found out that the iPhone doesn't allow that, so I had to email my Android carrying friend the photo and he did it in couple seconds.

Also I'd notice that as a user I do care how my data is transferred, specially because every business nowadays wants to offer their computer to serve as the mediator for that - a.k.a. the cloud.

So no thanks, I'd rather use a protocol which sends the data locally in the vicinity, instead of shipping it around the globe or buying into proprietary ways of doing that.
They look succulent. Do you use slug pellets?

The last time I tried growing them was when I was a child. The built up excitement of fruiting ended in anticlimax as I found them all eaten one morning, before I had been able to pick them. My mother said slugs got them.

Now I wonder about that comment.

This makes a lot of sense. Given how rule-based the trucking industry is (max 11hrs/day; 30min break after x amount of driving etc., strict speed limits, complete in lane driving with little overtaking etc.), self driving trucks could gain very strong adoption given they could follow the road rules in place predictably and will not have any time based restrictions wrt driving thus saving a lot of cost.

C++ templates are also turing complete, executed at compile time, and can result in extremely high compile times: http://cpptruths.blogspot.co.uk/2005/11/c-templates-are-turi...

This terrible argument seems to crop up again and again. Selective Breeding IS NOT Genetic Engineering.

Suppose I told you that I wanted a good-looking dog. There are two ways to get that. On one hand, I could get a great male dog and mate it with a great female dog and produce a good-looking dog for you. On the other hand, I could take any dog and perform plastic surgery to make it into the dog you want. Although the final product may be similar, does anyone believe those two processes are the same? It's absolutely a nonsensical assertion.

To put this in terms of logic, you're arguing that because Process X and Process Y both lead to Outcome Z, Process X and Process Y are equivalent. We know that the general case of this argument is false (e.g. bribing a police officer or not committing crime both keep you out of jail, but they are not the same processes). If you want to argue that this argument holds in the special case of GMOs, you have to argue for it! You cannot just state it and expect us to believe it because it is false in the general case.
>it seems pretty obvious labeling the race of the people making the product so consumers can choose not to buy products made my a certain race of people would be bad

Because the "race" of the person is irrelevant?

>Investigators say they know child porn is on the drives. His sister saw some of it and the suspect is said to have shown his family an illicit video, too.

So that's their basis for this "foregone conclusion" apparently. That at one point in time it was witnessed.

That is very dangerous logic.

The sadest thing in this is that it took child pornography to make the headlines, not political activism or journalism but the most despicable crime in our modern society.
Even if they have enough testimony to convict him, they may be more interested in forensic clues about where he obtained his files.

Decrypting his hard drive may lead to other charges against other people. If he knows that he can incriminate others, he may be waiting for a deal.

They're playing hardball with him right now. After six months in jail, watch them offer him a deal if he unlocks the hard drive. He gets a firm but reduced sentence (including time served) and they get more bad guys.
