It can create ambiguity as well as remove it, depending on which terms can be appositives to other terms. Classic example:

"To my parents, Ayn Rand and God." (ambiguous without the comma)

"To my mother, Ayn Rand, and God." (ambiguous with the comma)

You can index arrays in Fortran any way you want to.

Fortran is popular among people in many disciplines doing large-scale scientific computing. I was surprised to learn a few years ago that C++ had become popular in the high energy physics community; the emphasis there is on crunching vast amounts of data from experiments.
> As you can pretty much do everything off the bat, there's no "oh a boulder, can't move it, better come back later" element to the game. (This is my biggest gripe I think, a big part of the Zelda games was doing a dungeon and getting a gimmick to unlock new places).

I was actually considering getting it, but you might have just changed my mind. I like an open world, but the reward of progression is often a key to enjoyment for me in many cases. Do they make up for this in any other ways (ie: unbeatable monsters until you're high enough level/have better gear or something)?
I wonder if it's an NYC thing.
> The stars are not about "enjoyment" factor, they are about perceived quality

I ignore ratings because of that. They don't mean anything and I am guilty.

On Good Reads, I have given what is deemed as a trashy piece of writing 5 stars. At the same time, I have given Dune 1 star because the story was garbage.

So what is this 5 star rating? Some people say it is the experience, some say it is the writing style, others say it is the story telling, or the plot.

Lets also face it, when it comes to films, the news papers have their own agendas and personal commitments to other agencies. My film could be absolutely garbage, but since I dined with the Editor a few times, It gets 4/5 stars and then, it gets 4/5 stars because the rest of the population is told how to feel.

I would even say that this whole system of rating based on Stars or Likes can simply be removed. If a film is good, you will know about it. If a film has been watched 1000000 times more this weekend than another, base it on that if anything.
To add to the "Just do it" bandwagon.

Someone told me once that she is able to accomplish so much because she does things when she thinks of them. It's a technique that she applies and when she is feeling really productive, she might loosen up on it and prioritize or delay things. She explained to me that when you think of things and say, "I'll do it later", they literally exit your mind as if you have done them.

You can have an PS4 too, not only PC. You can be an hardcore gamers too but buying the console for one game it's for me too much waste.

I made this mistake with gran turismo on PS3... I have only the PS3 for Gran Turismo and clearly was a waste.

I can understand the hype over Zelda but like many of other game because of his content that is cheap, boring start to degrade now. See the live streaming on youtube, almost every youtube guy that stream is on the end. Two weeks after. In 1 months we will not talk more about Zelda.
> even if they index arrays from 1

They don't have to! You can set the array index bounds to whatever you want. For example,

real(8) A(0:n-1)
real(8) w(-p:q)

are both valid declarations and would be indexed by i=0,n-1 and i=-p,q respectively. If you're using gfortran compile with the "-fbounds-check" flag to save a lot of headaches!

A revolution is not going to happen in western countries: It's easy to appease the masses and provide for basic needs and entertainment, birthrates are too low to really fill the streets with angry people, surveillance enables the powers that be to identify and isolate agitators and monitor movements.

We have this Great event Here in Milan called Open Source Saturday.

Roughly once a month we meet and we start a brief round table where whoever propose project he would like to work during the day, then we pair up and each pair (or triplets) works together at whichever project they have decided.

After lunch and before to leave we communicate to the other the "successes" of the day which can be either commits, PR, learn a new thing or just had fun with friends.

Goal of the day is to contribute to open source, sometimes we succeed done other times we just have fun and learn new things.

You could start a similar events in your area...

I love this console, haven't been able to sit down and play for long hours in decades and here I am.

I love that it's handheld, I travel a lot and so far I've played that in the plane and in various airbnbs, splitting the controller in two and playing snipperclips or bomberman with my girlfriend.

It's probably the best console I bought since the N64. I see a lot of skepticism here, but I assume it is mostly from non-buyers. I predict that this is going to be the biggest christmas for Nintendo this December.
From playing it a bit, you definitely get new abilities and items: and can start to do things you couldn't earlier. You get a horse, etc..

All which was definitely progression. Just not like you'd traditionally think RPGs are: but more of a "real-life" acquisition style.
As a user, I love progressive images because I can see the whole image very fast. (I don't have to wait for it)
> they should evaluate the merits of the law based on the spirit of the law

Some laws say "if there's an ambiguity, then take the interpretation that's most favourable to $PARTY". e.g. some consumer protection laws say ambiguity in prewritten sales contracts must be interpreted in the customers favour. This recognises the power imbalance between joe soap and a megacorp, and tries to address that.

Not even that -- the fact that legislators actually wrote this as a law is interesting. There is likely a historical reason or something unique about that industry that prompted this.
That was my reaction as well. If the other meaning was intended, I think the sentence would be better written "...marketing, storing, or packing for shipment or distribution...". In that case, I think the comma after "storing" is necessary to avoid ambiguity because there are two "or" conjunctions, but at least the intended meaning is a correct interpretation. That said, I agree with other commenters that if your meaning relies so fundamentally on such a small grammatical point, you might do better using a different construction altogether.

Government Spending on “Innovation”: The True Cost Is Higher Than You Think
It truly sucks, as you said. Also, the web pages are within my browser's chrome, which occupies about a third of my screen, and behind it there's my wallpaper, and behind my screen I've a nice champagne-colour wall and some books, pens, and other stuff. What will you do if your design looks off in front of them? Change them too? Should the browser allow you to change the wallpaper?

Nasty scrollbars. OK. What if I want to scroll down about a third of a hypothetical long page? I'd either use the wheel/touchpad and make multiple gestures to reach there, or hit space/page down multiple times, or hit end and page up a bit less times, or just point the mouse cursor to about where I want to go on the scrollbar and click on the blinking thing. That nasty scrollbar is mine.

The technical term for a multi-perference rating is a Likert Scale. There are different schools on this -- an even or odd number of options (even "forces" reviewers to indicate some preference positive or negative, odd allows fence-sitting), how to compare different raters' preferences, etc.

I'm finding interesting the rating system I've created and am trying to apply with some consistency to my Pocket archive of a few thousand items. Nominally it runs from 0 to 5, though I may reserve a 6 for an absolutely mind-blowing piece.

A 0 is a net negative: you are less informed for having read it, it reduces teh intelligence of its reader.

A 1 is, generally, a simple noting of some event.

A 2 should be a general news story, without strong insight.

A 3 is a news or general interest story with strong insight, or a typical scientific paper, or an undistinguished book (generally nonfiction).

A 4 is a particularly good scientific paper, or a typically well-thought-out book.

A 5 is a document which establishes a fundamental idea or field. Claude Shannon's original paper on information theory, say.

I don't think I've run across a 6 yet, but that might be a work which ties together two or more previously unrelated fields into a common theory.

My problem has been in assigning far too many '3' class articles. I've already carved out a list to re-assess and downgrade if appropriate.

I'd also like to be able to report on the numbers for each classification, though Pocket's utter lack of quantitative reporting (I cannot even state how many articles I've collected in total) stymies this.

I am ... increasingly dissastisfied with Pocket as an information management tool.
Seems like a bit of a tortured example to me, is the order really important?

"I'd like to thank God, and my mother, Ayn Rand, ..."

> As long as English uses commas for both apposition and list separation

Then don't, if it's a concern.

"I'd like to thank my mother (Ayn Rand) and God ..."

A lack of an Oxford comma is always an ambiguity. The reverse 'problem' - which I've never encountered 'in the wild' - can be dealt with in so many ways.
You could come up with an algorithm that instead of showing an average of 5 stars, biases the weighting towards people who rate things in a similar way to you. We all have an internal set of assumptions about what a 5 star rating system means to us; this is a case where the filter bubble leads to better understanding. People would then see the ratings they expected rather than a mix of different methodologies averaged?
I think one problem is that people have vastly different opinions on what 3 stars mean. For some it's quite bad, for some it's in the middle.

A binary option actually has three options. Did it prompt me to rate it as bad, or did it prompt me to rate it as good, or was it bland enough where I don't want to sway the rating of it at all?

If I rate a movie on IMDB as 5-6, and maybe even 7, the possibility of me recommending it to someone "depends". In that case I might as well not rate it at all.

Ratings are inherently tricky, because we all like different things. I don't think you lose anything by going to a like/dislike system. Recommendations should be based on aggregate maps and matching you with similar viewers that have a certain overlap in ratings. That's made easier with binary choices.

IMDB ratings are only partially informative to me anyways.
Not really. Exaggeration for comic effect is a useful and entertaining tool when applied properly. I don't think anyone considered it an actual comparison of off-piste skiing and meth.

The challenge with measuring the safety of general aviation is that it is much more behavior-dependant.

The work is seasonal and not necessarily predictable on a daily basis. So the overtime is part of a short work stint that the employee knows is coming when they are hired for the temporary job rather than the way the business is organized to work all of the time.

This is one of the reasons I believe basic income won't result in masses of people 'dropping out' of society. People will seek real fulfillment given the resources.

I'm exactly where you are, and I do agree with all of your points (except I like being able to do everything from the start).

I still feel that all of the good sides of that Zelda still makes it one of the best game I ever played.
I don't have particularly strong opinions about this change, I don't actually rate many things that I watch (I think the recommendation system can go mostly by what I watch).

I think the fundamental problem with different rating systems is that they are all one-dimensional. Maybe a two-category system, like 1-5 stars for "enjoyment" and another 1-5 stars for "quality". Or a 1-5 rating paired with a label, like "campy" or "serious", to prevent apples-and-oranges comparisons.
Just reorder it?
The best rule, of course, is that hard rules are dumb. Read your writing, have others read your writing, discuss ambiguities as they arise(,) and solve them. Keep in mind you may have to entirely re-word your sentence or paragraph to fix ambiguities.
When I rate things it's usually an "overall" rating, rather than weigh one dimension disproportionately. Which is why I would almost never grant a 5-star rating to something. But I'll dish out 2, 3 and some 4s regularly.
Landing at O'Hare in a smaller bombardier 2x2 (crj 700 I think) jet following a jumbo was an interesting (white knuckle) ride I had in recent memory. The plane turned over lake michigan east of the city and felt like it went completely 90deg to the ground losing a good amount of altitude which I do not believe was the pilots intention. I definitely heard a few gasps, the stewardess curse and my wife grip my hand hard. Followed by 10 minutes of bumps, drops, and wing waggling and a landing that felt like we simply dropped 10 feet on to the tarmac.

Those little jets man... they're fine most of the time but what a spooky experience that was.
Btw, Gryadka uses an idea of quorums with non-standard size to change a configuration of the cluster, see http://rystsov.info/2016/01/05/raft-paxos.html#details1. I came up with this idea independently of Howard when misread the Vertical Paxos paper :)
Ignoring the comma issue, it still seems poorly worded.

"The canning, processing, preserving, freezing, drying, marketing, storing, packing for shipment or distribution of:"

Lets group related activities based on what workers might be doing/where they might be doing it.

If the law intended to exclude truck drivers from overtime, our groups could be:

- Canning, Processing, Preserving, Freezing, Drying (processing facility?)

- Marketing (?)

- Storing, Packing for Shipment (Warehouse)

- Distribution (On the road)

Why is one sentence trying to define rules for all those groups?
Why do you have that first comma.

"I'd like to thank my mother Ayn Rand, and God" is clearer.

Depending on conditions, FL180 could be below the transition altitude at 18000'. I doubt, therefore, that you would ever be given anything below FL200. That is the subtlety to which I'm referring (well that and the fact that different transition altitudes are used in other countries). I'll admit that this is stretching my knowledge. Prior to this thread, I merely "had it on good authority" that FL200 was the minimum.

Yup, you get better gear and some monsters are unkillable until you get better gear + life. You also become better in combat with experience, how to dodge, how to fight on a horse, how to combine many weapons and the landscape around you etc... It's definitely not your typical leveling up RPG. It's based more on your ability to solve puzzles and to play well rather than your attributes.

Yes it is, and it sometime gives some strange ratings like "Ash vs Evil: season 2" having a 100% rating[0]. Though it's probably a good show, it's not absolute perfection like the rating would imply.

Well I use Emacs and Firefox and mostly nothing else, on Xubuntu, and all the scrollbars are (happily) the same.
What do you want from the source code then?
I think that's good advice. In this game you shouldn't fall in love with items, armor or weapons. Plenty of them come to you. Every now and then something more special comes your way and you should use that more difficult opponents but you just need to come to grips with the game play which is you will constantly acquire new things. Use things as you find them to make the game fun.
I feel like a good compromise would be to stick the code base for each big release into some sort of vault. Not open to the public, but for there to be an agreement that should Tarn ever be done with it, it can be released. Basically give keys (or copies) to Tarn's brother as well as a few of the DF community members that Tarn trusts the most.

This way it stays just Tarn's work of art for as long as he wants it to stay that way, but if anything did happen it wouldn't be lost to society.
