c = [4,5,6] is creating a new list, and assigning it to c; not modifying the list that c pointed to. The '=' operator simply associates an object reference to a variable. Going d=c is copying the reference to an object from one variable to another.
I think the solution was not replying to it.

Sometimes people say silly stuff that isn't particularly relevant. They're making a mistake. You don't have to explain it.

If you do, maybe someone like me who is interested in meta topics like conversation itself will appreciate it, and maybe you'll enjoy writing it, but you can't expect it to further the conversation you were having, and can't really expect the silly person to learn much.
Eric Schmidt Is Right: Google’s Glory Days Are Numbered
>Are they going to increase their cut? Doubt it. Why would they?

They could increase their cut. But they could also just increase the price per app, by reducing competition (e.g. only allowing 1 app of each sort). They would be incentivised to do this, to make more profit, obviously.

Seeing as games are being discussed, Nintendo used to do this by increasing the manufacturing cost they charged to make the cartridges (afair, Nintendo had a stranglehold on the cart manufacture), and hence you got situations like where Street Fighter 2 on the SNES was crazily priced - don't remember exactly, but something like £60 in the UK.

>Much like iTunes, they're happy to leverage this huge library of "media" to boost sales of devices.

If they had a device monopoly, they would no longer need the apps to be cheap to boost device sales, which is my point.
Care to elaborate about these plans?
The source code for the app is using the github-markdown[0] gem to render - so it seems strange that it isn't working.

Poor journalism.
This is sort of true, and entirely useless. Yes, if you project confidence and high status, you don't have to do much to attract women. The problem is that the stereotypical geek projects the exact opposite of confidence and high status (aka "creepiness"). Changing that is hard, and it won't happen by standing around.

it's a big fat "meh" for a lot of people, if you look at the coffeescript source even it looks like complete ass with the exception of the parser, which looks pretty nice and declarative. Some things are certainly nice to have, but those are neither unique nor necessary. The best thing to come out of coffeescript is the glaring "dont use me, I dont understand JavaScript" it places on libraries written with it, I like that.

It's a good question that I had to think about a little.

First, I think you may not know how many missions there currently are. There has been a huge increase over the past years. Here's a list:

http://www.nasa.gov/missions/current/index.html

Second, the outer planets missions are not numerous. They tend to be big and all-encompassing, with multiple science objectives and specialized imagers. (Not a quick flyby like Voyager.) Because they need to show science impact, they can't just pack a simple imager and some particle detectors.

Right now, the big outer planets mission is Cassini, which has been orbiting Saturn and visiting its moons, which are a varied bunch. Before that, there was Galileo, which visited Jupiter.

For context, I believe it's accurate to say that the era of large "flagship" missions was wound down years ago, and replaced by what, at the time, was called "faster, better, cheaper". (Engineers replied, "sure, pick any two".) Despite grumbling, this doctrine pretty much won out for planetary missions.

For inner planets, of course, most attention has gone to Mars, using the "follow the water" strategy.

No, but only because software patents have largely been unenforced. That's changing.

Yeah, Joel is dead on for how to learn to program. Unfortunately, I think we need to question that question more.

What folks are often asking when they ask "how do I program?" is something entirely different.

How do I learn how to make a website? Use wordpress or yola or squarespace.

How do I learn how to make that website look better? Read design blogs, some starter tutorials on html and css and start diving into the CSS. It's not that hard a standalone thing to learn.

How do I learn how to make that website do something fancy like fade things out? Start diving into the javascript in the same way.

How do I learn how to make that website do something functional like send an email, or save a session? Pick a modern framework (Ruby on Rails, Node on Express), read/watch the starter tutorials on it, and dive in.

How do I learn how to make that website do something functional and NOT have it be a horrendous hack job? Time to start reading those programming books :D

Just sayin' it's not always step 1. Depends on what you need to get done, and what you really want to learn how to do. Yeah?
I'm glad to see Apple making at least some moves towards contributing socially. One thing I really admire about Google is how much of their resources they contribute to good causes -- whether it be apps for non-profits, Summer of Code, or Google.org -- I certainly get the sense that Google's actually interested in helping society grow and better itself, not just selling ads. I hope to see more movement out of Apple, too.

Normalization is formally defined based on data value dependencies. However, because there is no way to set constraints across joins, in practice, the dependencies of data constraints are as important as the dependencies of data values.

As far as recursive queries, I am not 100% sure this is ideal either from a read performance perspective. There are times when recursive queries are helpful from a performance perspective, but I don't see a good way to index, for example, path to a node. Certainly most databases don't do this well enough to be ideal for hierarchical directories. For example indexing the path to a node might be problematic, and I am not even sure you could do this reliably in PostgreSQL because the function involved is not immutable.

Well at some point you are always teaching to a test of some sort. If I teach my students about X I will test them on X (either through extended pieces of work or through tests and exams) and not Y.

The trouble with many texts is that they aren't tailored to any particular course (mainly I imagine because courses vary so greatly even within countries). This is why it's really great to see lots of resources like Khan Acadamy out there where things are more focused on concepts rather than courses and you can pick and choose what you need to learn about.

One of the problems with teaching that I've seen since I started is that many people produce their own sets of resources, but there's very little sharing going on when you consider the total population. Considering the networks of really knowledgable people out there, we really don't need textbooks; we just need smart people willing to collaborate more and the technology to make that accessible.

Edit: With some afterthought, some of this is probably a systemic problem with the bureauracy which has large scale contracts with publishers and so on, and thus little interest in using the resource they already have (ie their teachers).

When implementing some new courses here in Westeran Australia the department of education implemented groups of teachers to produce sample material, but it wasn't particularly well funded or promoted nearly well enough to make it very successful, and it was only accessible to other government schools and not independent and religious schools (Catholic, Anglican systems etc). It would have been nice (and completely surprising) for the systems to work together or set up an independent body to manage something like this.

Best Stop Snoring Method
There hasn't been quite the flexibility and utter non-dependence on material livelihood that techno-utopians predicted, though. By some estimates, we've had something like a 50x productivity improvement during the 20th century. If you assume that in 1900 the average person was a subsistence farmer (a conservative assumption), spending 100% of their time to earn basic shelter and 2000 calories/day, then with 50x productivity improvement, someone should be able to get basic, 1900-style food/shelter by working only 2% of a full-time job, i.e. almost negligible work, only a few days a year. Hence the widespread predictions made by early-20th-c authors that by 2000, basic needs (shelter/food) would be essentially free.

But obviously that hasn't happened: there is no real route by which I can put in 2% of full-time work, which by productivity gains is supposedly equivalent to 100% of 1900's full-time work, and live a basic 1900-era lifestyle. If there were, a lot of homeless people would take that option, working one week a year and earning themselves basic 1900-era accommodations/food.

It's just not an option you can actually pursue. Heck, even if you want to take some of the productivity gains in quality improvements: let's admit you don't have the option today to live like a 1900-era citizen, but have to, at a minimum, live 10x better. Then I should still be able to live ten times as well as the average 1900 citizen while putting in only 20% of a full-time job's worth of labor, thanks to that 50x productivity improvement. But that isn't really an option, either. Instead it seems that, if that 50x figure is indeed real, the only way to realize it is to take the dividend as material wealth, living 50x better rather than putting in less labor.
Then I blame the course curriculum and your teachers, not the language.

The point is that most devices that would have been a luxury some time ago are merely a way to keep up with certain demands of the society today. Just because you didn't have a cell phone 15 years ago and have one now doesn't automatically mean your life quality became higher in this respect. Because life is different. (BTW, landline phones are more expensive. They are the luxury now.) That was grandparent's point, and I do not believe you've presented a convincing argument against it.
The layout is dull. I can see the two-column view as logical, but you could use that to some sort of advantage, such as having people directly talking to eachother on both sides. So you might have one argument under a column and beside it all the retorts to it.

Also, look into some sort of comment sanitization technique, the very first argument I saw come up was "penis penis penis" and not far below it simply "wtf".

I don't know, but my guess would be that they did whatever OSHA told them to and called it a day. Factories aren't the kind of environment where people take the initiative to improve things, generally. And I bet they told the workers that they comply with all OSHA guidelines (no matter how inadequate they might have been in this instance...) and had a meeting with anyone who had been grumbling.

At least, that was about my experience in very similar circumstances, though I took a bit more initiative to prevent heat-related injuries in the first place. Then we had some slightly uncomfortable meetings where I was told to keep up the good work.

Legal fears largely dominate both common sense and initiative, I fear. It would be nice to be able to just do the right thing without so much worry, but I doubt that will happen any time soon.

Assuming that the author is intending to refer back to the original metaphor, I think his response to Tech Corollary 1 sums it all up:

"Honestly, you don’t need to know how to dance. If you just go out there and dance like nobody’s watching. Girls will come dance with you. Tried and proven. You don’t even have to know what you’re doing, you just have to be comfortable with yourself."

Tech Corollary - Don't spend all your time obsessing over a slick pitch, or worrying about whether you're in tune with the current trends. Just get out there and do something you're passionate about, make something that you would want to use, and build it because you love it. You'll find backers, and more importantly, you'll find the right kind.
I find the term Operating System mostly outdated these days when all common OSes ship with wide array of applications, some which are essential for the system to function, and others less so.
Give them progressively harder programming problems to solve. Each new problem should be just baaaarely within their capability to solve, so they are forced to learn something new with each new problem. Each new problem should also 1) build on the foundations of the previous problem, and 2) introduce new fundamental concepts.

I know of no other way. You learn programming by programming. This, by the way, is exactly what a good CS curriculum will do.
At the very least it's a reminder to follow or exceed the security related recommendations.

This comes up a often and there are a lot of for and against opinions for both scenarios. The main reason we have chosen to keep the Dogfights tab first is due to the long term value of that tab itself - based on our minimal, but varied research.

If we were to show the Popular/Active tabs first many users may fail to see the value/point in connecting with their friends and chasing other users.

It's probably a hot topic ripe for debate (lol) but just to get the point across - imagine if Twitter/Facebook were to show the "Active" tab first from people who aren't your friends. For me and many others it would be a constant stream of noise from people you may not know nor be interested in following - which would then force a user to keep switching tabs back to the people I follow.

We have chosen to set a user up for the future, rather than appeal to their instant gratification of a stream of active noise. We will be reworking the model in future to connect users to friends initially and also showing Dogfights on the front page without being logged in - hopefully this will help that 'empty' feeling.

This is purely the decision we have come to and is not the only way to go about it. It's just what we feel works best for our long term users.

Thanks for asking!
