My sister does something similar with a pack of porn cards she got given. Each playing card has a 80s picture of some naked lady or bloke. She slips a card into a wallet or bag then later (usually after a few drinks) she 'finds' the porn and shows everyone.

She also reverse pick pockets them into random peoples pockets.
Sexism is alive and well in the 21st Century.

Look at how women are treated in the Middle East. Listen to stories of the rape culture in Delhi. Pay inequality the world over. A media industry which sees young women as commodities to sell their product. What we're seeing here is the thin end of the wedge; the individual who committed this disgusting act would probably have felt entitled to behave this way even were they working in another industry.

It's ugly, but this is a very large societal problem that we're still really struggling to address. As pleased as I was to see President Obama address gay rights in his inauguration, it was equally significant that he addressed gender equality. We've a long way to go before this is fixed, but rather than indulging in self-pity or recrimination, how about we work to be the change we want to see in the world?
It's also important to realize that the "go to" Dijkstra is complaining about isn't seen in modern languages. It's the goto of unstructured Basic and early Fortran where you're doing an unconstrained jump to some other part of the program source by line number. It has no real counterpart in C. Unless your entire program is one long main() function, forward and even backwards C goto within a function is a tamed HLL version that can be reasoned about.
I think the point he's trying to make with regards to the white knighting going on, is that when a nude of Gabe Newell or Sergey Brin is made it doesn't hit the front page of HN. We respond differently when it's done to a woman.
Replying to myself because I want to add something interesting (to posterity) that I noticed today on Alioth:

Perl (or OS) was upgraded from 5.14.* to 5.16.2. From cursory glance this gave all the Perl benchmarks a little boost. For eg. My fasta is about 3 secs quicker and the "interesting alternative" fasta dropped below 2.0 barrier (now timed at 1.96).

However on the summary Perl slowed down a few points (here's the new bottom five on u32 single-core benchmark):

Lua 31.09
PHP 40.49
Perl 54.90
Python 3 55.45
Ruby 1.9 62.40

I think the drop is because the Perl pldigits benchmark is now failing. The Math::GMP module can't be found. Pretty sure this wasn't a core module so perhaps a Perl dependency has been removed in the OS (Debian).

PS. This maybe a temporary glitch so that dependency maybe restored soon. If not then I may amend pldigits benchmark accordingly.

PPS. I see that Python pldigits is using gmpy and is working fine. This means that GMP is installed (as is gmpy Python library) so it's just the Math::GMP perl module that's missing :(
If they really cost only 300k USD/lifetime (does not sound that big), they definitely pay over 110k USD/lifetime. 56k is GDP, but that's divided by all (elderly and children too), so a dane is earning like 90k USD/year, out of which he pays 20-30k in taxes (there is more than just income tax). Average dane definitely works over 10 years. Hence the figures are fishy.
But then theres PhoneGap and there was WebOS from HP which both are/were pretty popular with developers
There is a simple solution for this (even if your argument makes sense) and that is that the government also sets the legal maximum tuition fees.

In the Netherlands the government subsidizes universities per student they take on, provides a monthly stipend to students (from about $400 to $800 depending on whether your parents income, with the possibility to borrow more) and sets yearly home-student tuition-fees (at $2200). And still Dutch universities perform quite well in the world-rankings (all 14 roughly between spot 40 and 200).

Admittedly this is made easier by the fact that the Netherlands does not have any private universities (of any fame and influence), and the fact that things have been organized like this for a long time now...

After having spent 5 years in university, having a debt of even $40.000 is considered a lot here.
3 years should not be the lifecycle of a highly advanced device costing many hundreds of dollars. That is utterly insane.
I've used it to hide the latency of the copy back (GPU -> CPU) inside the actual algorithm so I didn't need to suffer the large stall (4-5ms). It helped tremendously because most of the data was fully computed before the algorithm was actually done running.
I've had great results from domainmonster and gandi (both European based, but that shouldn't make a difference).

Haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I can definitely say that this was a serious sore spot for vim. AutoComplPop is great (and is what I use), but it lacks Fuzzy Search which is very important to me. I tried installing NeoComplCache, but even after spending a lot of time on it, couldn't get it working properly - plus, it slowed down vim, by a LOT. I'm talking, opening a buffer took a visible amount of time.

If this plugin works as well as advertised, I'll be extremely happy.
You're getting downloaded because your post was highly subjective (ugly? Looks like good-old Scheme to me, son), childish (threw up in your mouth? Really? Because you use ULTRA LEET $LANGUAGE instead?) and added precisely 0 value to the discussion.
That is a misrepresentation. They are just going to recommend JavaScript if people ask which to use and focus on supporting that. Not forcing people to drop other languages.

My question is, what about people that like JavaScript derivatives like CoffeeScript or LiveScript?
Awesome! Much needed.

If no one raises a counter point, maybe the downvotes are not really about disagreeing with the point you made? Maybe it's more like, people don't like your tone, or they don't think that fun post about fun with AR drones is the time and place for dealing with the issue of Clojure syntax and aesthetics.
Fauna/Flora will give you a large set of names to use e.g: reptiles yields 9k species alone [1]. A theme is best if it is a large enough superset to be inexhaustible for your naming needs (ie, 9 planets = bad choice if you expect more than say, 3 or 4 machines). Good examples: mythical pantheons, sports lingo, mixed drink names, etc.

There's a lot of overlap between the two. I'd consider auto-complete.el as a more modern hippie-expand which also includes a nice GUI.
>the result is that antidepression drugs do not work for the majority of patients.

I suspect that this is because most patients don't have the patience or wherewithal to try enough different kinds, or a doctor who is willing to combine them with benzos. The patient's patience is especially relevant since when you are depressed, the last thing in the world that you need is to add extra suffering from side-effects to your list of woes. Or at least that has been my personal experience. After a few bad experiences, I was very reluctant to try additional antidepressants, and after having become dependent on Ativan once, I vowed to never allow that to happen again either.

Ultimately though, I tried just about every modern antidepressant before finding one that worked, and I know people who had to go to tricyclics, which has caused them to become fat, but happy. Each of the antidepressants I tried affected me differently. But at this point, I am very relieved to know that if I become depressed again, there is a drug that I know for sure works for me. Knowing that is a huge weight off of my shoulders. Though having to look forward to weaning off of benzos again puts some of that weight back.

More recently I tried ketamine when I was worried that I was going to become depressed due to an unfortunate life circumstance. I'm here to say that it apparently worked as well as hyped since I never became at all depressed during a situation that would typically have sent me into a downward spiral. And with no ill side effects too boot. Too bad it's not legal....

Of course, trying many different antidepressants is not without its risks, as I alluded to previously.

Meanwhile, in Sweden, parental leave is shared by both parents. Out of the 16 months total, each parent is guaranteed two months, and the couple can divide the remaining 12 months as they wish. Many still give the woman all of it, but there's a growing trend to split it equally. Among my peers - university educated upper middle class - everyone splits it equally.

And, when parental leave is mostly split equally, you remove the basis for discrimination against women in this area.

I'd rather say in the US the problem is too much market.

And especially too much of the naive belief - used to his advantage by many a shrewd businessman - that cost equates quality.

Also, as already mentioned in other posts, many UK/EU universities do very well. I am currently at Oxford, and I would choose it over practically any American university.

And virtually all Western-European universities do way better than the bottom 3/4th of the American ones, which after all is what most Americans will encounter when they go to a 4-year 'college'.

I'm amazed that the ball leaves circular hole in the bat.

I'm no supersonic ping-pong ball physics expert but I'd have expected the ball to have deformed on impact and left an irregular shaped hole and left a more destructive wake than a perfectly ping-pong ball shaped hole.

I call fake. But I'm open to being wrong.

The pros can study it all they want. Best case scenario, the Tweeted image probably had 0.5% reach of their Super Bowl ad, in a completely unproven medium for brand marketing. Outside of some niche groups interested in advertising, the Tweet will be forgotten just quickly as the TV spot. EDIT: maybe a win for 360i, who will no doubt garner a lot of interest here. I just don't see what this does for Oreo though.
Another solution is to memorize the common flags and Read The Fucking Manpage for the rest.

OK, I'll give you that. A goto into with a tricky destination is a particularly bad case, worse than most uses of "break;" I was just trying to point out that they're all violations of the LISPy ideal where all control flow forms a hierarchy.

OTOH, with nested loops its easy to misinterpret where a "break;" or "continue;" will actually go. This is something that's bitten me many times over the years, especially when reading code with poor or inconsistent indentation. At least a goto is visually unambiguous and maybe even has a helpfully descriptive label.

Also: "continue;" goes 'backwards' for a "while" or "for" loop but "forwards" in a do-while. It's probably the most confusing of the bunch.
Microsoft licensing is so incredibly complex, that I would not be surprised in the least bit if one study resulted in a 17MM quote and another in a 34MM quote.

ES6 supports object proxies, which provide sufficiently rich semantics that we will be able to drop the get/set requirement if you are targeting ES6 browsers. We are ready to add this to Ember as soon as proxies land in popular browsers.

Agreed, or perhaps something that they would like to try out while on holiday. Thanks for your response I think you make a good point.
I made this comment below but it was kind of buried, so I just wanted to say again thanks so much to everyone for your assistance here. This has been incredibly useful, and I'm already feeling much more optimistic about the situation.
You took it out of context totally. Here is the explanation they give:

"Our second goal is not nihilistic but is rather a commitment to standardization of the web as a platform. We believe in a web open to everyone to participate however they will. No locked doors. No walls. The things we do with PhoneGap are directly influenced by the work we see at the W3C, WHATWG, and other research such as Mozilla's WebAPI, BONDI, WAC, Webinos, webOS, Tizen and the like."
I don't really get it.

> Footages of lingerie models speaking in Mandarin will be interspersed by sequences where an animated, pervy looking teacher will explain the phrases used.

Are these girls teaching or just randomly talking? It seems something animated will do the teaching... but then further down...

> Disappointingly, the models teaching one-on-one lessons aren’t dressed in lingerie

Which suggests the models can teach.. strange.

I think the whole idea is a bit sad. As a straight 20-something guy if I am paying for language lessons I would always pay for quality over fluff like this. Its not like abundant amounts of softcore porn cannot be found for free.

I also find it disappointing that there aren't some hunky men for the ladies... I mean... if your going to make something this awful you might as well make it swing both ways.
The point is that at supersonic speeds, the ball doesn't have time to get out of the way upon impact - its literally going too fast for that, so it just keeps going .. through the bat.
Thanks to everyone who responded. It is invaluable to have people to have people to bounce and idea off... it really helps to open your eyes.
I disagree. I used PhoneGap to develop my cloud-storage app so that I don't have to develop the App for 4 different platforms (iOS, Android, Windows, BlackBerry). I believe most devs use PhoneGap to develop real apps, not just to pack their existing websites into native apps.
You'll make lot of lives easier :)
Awesome.

I miss a world with more people like that. Too bad that sometimes those people die to early.

I had a uncle, that was like that, I never met a person that disliked him, I remember he doing some crazy stuff, like one day when his car stopped near the church, and 8 or 9 kids came out, the his wife came from the wheel, then he showed up. My dad was on the sidewalk looking, and made a "how???" face. The uncle replied: " oh, I went lied down, and the kids on top of me" and then he laughed like a Santa would.

He never built a dragster, or anything fancy, but he could fix most toys and some small electronics, like videogames and portable radios, and I never saw him not smiling, and I never saw him failing to make a kid smile...

Until the day a truck doing a illegal overtake crashed in the front of his car.

Then this day, I saw about 5000 people crammed into the church crying. His death was the biggest funeral I ever saw in person.

Petition: Stop bundling crapware with Java
To be honest, I'm starting to get too much of those anti-college posts.

Many point out that they didn't learn anything from uni/college. Well, how about studying in better one then? One person I know often mentions how pointless the university is and that he dropped out on day 5 although it was at most average university (UK).

Especially "didn't learn anything in year one". And you were not supposed, really. The point of first year is 1) introduce you to many areas so you can get a feeling of what do you want to do 2) not press too hard because some (mainly international) students have difficulties in adapting.
Yea, the title is misleading, as down there in the article they clearly say that JavaScript will just be given priority, and work on other languages will continue.
Kongregate to invest $10 million in indie mobile games
Simple explanation: Investors are desperate for yield.

E.g., Current yields for 10-year Treasuries are about 2%, which in real terms is effectively zero given that inflation is tracking just below 2%.

So any asset that generates steady cash flow (e.g., Apple stock), or is considered to have the potential to generate future cash flow, will be hugely overpriced.

I am using namecheap for 5-6 years now (can't remember for how long). I never had to do anything except manually renew the domain I needed.

I also set myself in a mission to 'help' people who need help with setting up their DNS and uses Godaddy to transfer them to Namecheap first before helping out - simply because I wouldn't want to deal with Godaddy horrible UI.

To date I think I've been able to move about 100 domains out of Godaddy.

By the way it's a shame since I know some Godaddy Execs and they're very nice, I feel they're like trying to navigate a old ship that won't turn its course no matter how much energy they put in.

no, it wasn't - mostly because of political bullcrap coming from the "I'm purer than thou" crowd. obviously, the biased perception that gnome was using C# exclusively was also due to the same crowd.

this also led to the C#/mono platform lagging behind, so that these days writing gnome apps in C# means using deprecated libraries, which is unfortunate.

One thing about replacing goto with if's: CODE COVERAGE, specifically: BRANCH COVERAGE.

In situations where you have to prove 100% testing of all code, with full branch coverage and absolutely no dead code, the goto is preferred. This is simply because it is a faster instruction that does not depend on any other values being "valid" in order to function.

Why is that important? Bit-rot, folks. Like it or not, but we still have to ensure that the bit that is 1 is a 1 and not a 0, in this day and age - especially for safety-critical/life-dependent systems. The goto gives both full coverage capabilities (good for testing/certification) as well as providing one less path for radiation to be rotting bits.

(And before we get into the NAND/ECC discussion, remember: this is for software certification requirements.. it doesn't matter how hard your hardware is, what matters is how hard your software is ..)

I could believe this - once you have load balancers, multiple proxies and different servers all over the place - getting the IP address of a request can become difficult.

If there's no business driver in making that happen, then it quickly falls by the wayside and you are left without the "luxury" of that information being available in a readily accessible form (i.e. suitable for a CSR).

You can argue that that isn't acceptable of course.
