From the article: In Swingly…. I just ask it the question. ”Who was the first manager of the Texas Rangers?” And then I’m given an answer (Mickey Vernon).

When I google "Who was the first manager of the Texas Rangers?", the first result is the Wikipedia article "List of Texas Rangers managers" which has the answer in its description. The same thing happens when I use Bing, DuckDuckGo, and even AltaVista.

Everything is hard in Scheme/LISP world. As a first programming project for an isolated person without collaborators or teachers, SICP is death. It will be months before the autodidact can accomplish something that he can feel proud of. Nothing will kill interest faster than beating your head against the wall in isolation for months in your spare time without any tangible progress.

I believe people that say it's awesome and I look forward to tackling it someday. But it is not a good way for a person to dip his first toe into programming.

If you're doing web work you need to do two things:

1. Buy a Linux or Mac computer, because all the standard parts work quickly and simply on those platforms and are difficult to run on Windows. That, or have a remote computer where you do your dev work.

2. Learn Ruby or Python. It doesn't matter which. People on HN seem to love Python, but there's no substantial difference if you're using them to build web applications.

While I think the gun analogy was a little superfluous - perhaps because we clearly look at the gun situation differently - I completely agree with you otherwise. Software patents, even if "unused", are a threat lingering above your head like a guillotine. Even if the person in charge of that guillotine promises you they'll never let it drop, you'll probably not put your head under there for fear of what could happen.

Sun guarded the guillotine. Oracle "bought them out", and now they have the guillotine. Google put its head under the guillotine. Now we get to see how sharp it is, and whether Google brought body armor.

0 degrees celsius - 0 degrees celsius
http://www.google.com/search?q=0+degrees+celsius+-+0+degrees...
what about funding to keep self and family up and running?
Digging a little deeper...

(0 degrees Celsius) + (0 degrees Celsius) - (0 degrees Celsius) = 0 degrees Celsius

(0 degrees Celsius) - (0 degrees Celsius) = 0 kelvin

(0 degrees Celsius) + (0 kelvin) = 0 degrees Celsius

The last 2 of the 3 are wrong, so I'd say this is definitley a bug.

EDIT: I think I figured it out. It's converting everything after the first temperature to Kelvin, without converting the first temp to Kelvin, and then just doing the arithmetic on the numbers...

0C + 0C => 0C + 273K => 0 + 273 = 273

0C + 0C - 0C => 0 + 273 - 273 = 0

0C - 0C => 0 - 273 = -273 = 0K (ok, weird this one then converts back to K)

0C + 0K => 0 + 0 = 0

EDIT 2: While this does match the results seen by google, I think _delirium's solution is more likely the reason.

"Gridlock is not an American problem, it is an American achievement! When James Madison and 54 other geniuses went to Philadelphia in the sweltering summer of 1787, they did not go there to design an efficient government. That idea would have horrified them. They wanted a safe government, to which end they filled it with blocking mechanisms: three branches of government, two branches of the legislative branch, veto, veto override, supermajorities, and judicial review. And yet, I can think of nothing the American people have wanted intensely and protractedly that they did not eventually get. The world understands, a world most of whose people live under governments they wish were capable of gridlock, that we always have more to fear from government speed than government tardiness."

Canada doesn't look that different from the U.S. in consumer debt terms
It looks like it must be using kelvin as its canonical units:

0C + 0C = 273.15 K + 273.15 K = 546.3 K = 273.15 C

The weirdness is that conversions like that don't work for units that have different zero points. Perhaps addition of temperatures isn't really well defined? If 273.15 K + 273.15 K does not equal 0 C + 0 C, despite 273.15 K = 0 C, it's not clear what addition "means" in this context.

One restricted form of addition that makes sense (which maybe is what's intended?) is to consider the 1st temperature an actual temperature, and the 2nd temperature a temperature difference in units of degrees-C (or degrees-K, or degrees-F). So e.g.:

"5 C warmer than 30 C"
= 30 C + 5 C
= 303.15 K + 5 K
= 308.15 K
= 35 C

But then addition isn't commutative. The problem is that "degrees C" is overloaded here, to mean both a position on a scale, and the size of a unit on that scale, with no conventional short way of distinguishing which one you mean (which is one reason Kelvin was invented, since things aren't ambiguous if you put absolute zero at 0 K).

It looks more like a bug. That, or it's a not funny joke.
It's meaningless to add temperatures when the zero level is at +273.

It's like adding years relative to 2010 years ago - it would be meaningless to
add this year - 2010 - with (say) 1666 - the year of the Great Fire of London. It's meaningful to take differences (the Great Fire happened 344 years ago), but not to add. (Unless we converted to some kind of absolute time units e.g. years since the big bang)

I'd say what it's doing - converting to an absolute scale then adding - makes sense.

The question is meaningless but google answers it in the best possible way
Simply put, when I first heard about TDD I got very excited and made the mistakes you would expect a well-intentioned but uninformed person would make: spending WAY too much time worrying about how to structure my tests correctly, which sometimes distracted me from the "real" problem at hand.

At this point I would certainly not consider myself a great expert on testing, but I think I've acquired a bit more intuition on what and how to test things. I don't usually work in a strictly "test first" manner because often times it's easier for me to "sketch" out a few classes and go through a couple attempts at organizing things before I find an approach that works for me. In these cases, testing first is a pain in the butt.

Other times, for example if I'm implementing some kind of tricky data filter, writing the tests first helps me think about the possible problems I might have to deal with in my implementation.

In general though, my projects usually end up with close to 100% code coverage, even if some of the tests are not very granular. Throughout the lifecycle of the code I maintain, I add tests when fixing bugs to avoid regressions. The tests that I write obviously don't catch every bug, but they do usually stop me from making embarrassing, silly mistakes which I think covers a pretty significant percentage of bugs in general. I don't usually have to worry about breaking things when refactoring or adding new features, which is a great feeling that I pretty much never felt in either my "no testing" or "way too much testing" phases.

So basically I have a very pragmatic attitude towards testing which I think would be non-threatening to a skeptic like yourself. :-) Part of the problem is that you might be letting yourself get turned off to valuable and useful techniques, not because of the techniques themselves, but the way in which they are being presented to you.

But at the end of the day, you have to find whatever works best for you to make the best code you can, and don't worry about what other people think.

Google can actually differentiate between the two meanings: degrees Celsius and Celsius degrees.

As you explained, the query posed by the title is meaningless, but 0 degrees Celsius + 0 Celsius degrees is handled correctly: http://www.google.com/search?&q=0+degrees+celsius+%2B+0+...
Nice finding, now try to tell them
0C - 0C => 0 - 273 = -273 = 0K (ok, weird this one then converts back to K)

Your math/logic is wrong, (A - A) => (B - A) you converted 0C to both 0 and 273.

Convert everything to Kelvin and it all makes sense. It's non-intuitive because 0C indicates a positive amount of energy rather than no energy as 0K does.

Ah, that's pretty interesting. It makes sense when you read the two phrasings next to each other, but it does seem like a pretty subtle wording difference. I think in practice people tend to differentiate which one is meant by context more than by "degrees Celsius" versus "Celsius degrees" being used consistently.

Should Google should convert the query somehow? It seems like adding two temperatures in degrees Celsius is something that never really makes sense (or subtracting, multiplying, or dividing them), so faithfully executing it like they currently do is rarely what's intended.
Argument by analogy is what religious leaders and lawyers do to sway the masses into burning witches.

This is a false analogy because it simplifies too much, in favour of strengthening your point, as the parent points out. It's a nifty analogy by itself and I enjoyed it, but I don't agree that it comes close to covering the main features of the case.
If you read my comment leading up to that, you'd see why I did it that way. But I agree with the other comment that it's more likely Google is just converting everything to Kelvin as it's canonical calculating form.
They should convert the query because that’s exactly what people want to know when they type in those kinds of queries.
It sounds like you haven't looked at Java since at least 4 years ago. finally{} may be less convenient than using(), but does the job of controlling lifetimes just fine. And java.util.concurrent provides all the sophisticated synchronization concepts you could ask for.
Stunning and just a little bit sad that something like this hits #2 (almost surely #1 soon).
Can you really imagine someone going to all the trouble to sniff your traffic - and then giving up at that point because you have tcpcrypt enabled, given that it's trivial for them to perform a downgrade attack?

So it ends up being opportunistic encryption, that's enabled when you don't need it and disabled when you do. It's just a security blanket.
Yeah. I think some of that would resolve itself as the network grew. Otherwise, whenever I've spent much time thinking about it, I've figured that it should be possible to have a nearest-neighbor node notification protocol.

Node A declares that it's quitting to Nodes B and C (or Nodes B and C are suddenly no longer able to poll Node A); Nodes B and C both check the chunks that they know Node A had, and see if there are enough redundant copies of those chunks in the network.

There's a lot of "and then magic happens!" in this idea, but I'm pretty sure it's do-able. The worst part of it by far is doing node searches on a completely decentralized structure.
Hm, well not really. It doesn’t give the answer the user wants to know. They should just convert the second degrees celsius to celsius degrees. (Ideally they should probably also add a ‘Did you mean …’-link with the alternative ála Wolfram Alpha.)
Mine just tried to update to Froyo and it bricked her Droid. Verizon is sending a replacement in the mail and she will be receiving it within five days. Though they offered her to send it overnight for $20, yet it's not her fault.

Prior to her experience and now comparing it to my Apple experiences I thought Android was a pretty good platform. Yet, with it's lackluster customer service, Google selling it's soul to Verizon & these continued posts of it's lackluster app store - I'm not so sure anymore.
Fingers crossed we can avoid the firewall. (One of the 2 major parties (the conservative party called the Liberals) has stated that they will vote against it.

Meh. Locking is going to be a requirement if you have mutable shared state. Whether it's threads or events that are driving it, the possible classes of problems look almost identical.

Merely having a drawback doesn't make something bad. So garbage collection cannot run destructors deterministically. That is indeed unfortunate but it in no way outweighs the benefits -- for example, that the vast majority of classes which don't hold these kinds of resources can just be discarded and forgotten. It's kind of a stupid thing to say that this alone makes them bad. It would be like if I said, "Feet suck because they can step on nails." Wait, that's not quite right.
Looks right to me. Asking for 0 degrees celsius + 0 degrees celsius, or put another way, "what's twice as hot as freezing water?", is profoundly nonsensical, but 273.15 degrees celsius is the closest you can get to a sensible answer.
It's really only failure if you learn nothing and never try again.
The Greatness Drug
It sure looks really bizzare, but here it is broken down...

"0 degrees celsius in kelvin"
-> 0 degrees Celsius = 273.15 kelvin
"273.15 kelvin + 273.15 kelvin in degrees Celsius"
-> (273.15 kelvin) + (273.15 kelvin) = 273.15 degrees Celsius

Hence:

"0 degrees celsius + 0 degrees celsius"
-> (0 degrees Celsius) + (0 degrees Celsius) = 273.15 degrees Celsius
Usually, it has to do with someones ego.
No it doesn't: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=0+degrees+celsius+%2B+0...
It's still bad, since it will lead to the effect "just write every class with auto."

C++ combined memory allocation and the object destruction in one thing and now we have too many people that think those should be one primitive. They shouldn't. Once you recognize that you have to care about both separately, you start to recognize that even GC is an answer to the wrong question.

For really "cool" programs (using the most of the resources etc) you simply have to manage memory yourself. Object should not manage their allocation, they should just "know" who's in charge for their allocation.

Some Bloomberg guys recognized that and made some libraries for C++, ans some work was done to get something like that in C++ standard, but I don't know if the result is useful.

I also don't know if such ideas would look nicer in D.

"three degrees hotter" is an interval of three degrees, and not an absolute value along a scale. So you'd take your original temperature and add an interval of 3 degrees to it.

0 degrees Celsius has a heat value (273.15 K). If you double it (i.e. add 0 degrees Celsius to it), you get 546.3 K -- which is 273.15 degrees Celsius.

What it really comes down to is that if you're going to perform math on temperatures for scientific reasons, use Kelvin. And if you're adjusting a temperature by an interval, leave out the units from the math completely.
#1 is really good advice, and not just because of the pretty hardware. It's really easy (from my experience anyway, as a relatively new developer) to get derailed by having setup issues, so opt for something that removes as much friction as possible
