- It is 'messy' in my subjective unprofessional view. (sorry to be vague)
- It may be good for some of your lists to get some data/be influenced by 'trusted specialist sites'.
- Colours are atrocious
- It seemed to load slow switching between FAQ and Blog. (Only thing I tested.)
- Try to have a separate section on your site for partners or those wanting to work with you commercially. Have a discrete link going from the main site to that separate section. I am looking at 'Advertise' link.
Carrying on from the previous point, why have prime-website-real estate near the top of your page point to boring things like 'privacy' and 'terms'.

Just some random thoughts.

Relatedly: My bank until recently required you to log in with a long numeric string, instead of a memorable ID like everywhere else on the planet. Then they upgraded to the 21st century and decided to allow people to pick memorable IDs. So they of course have a form for it. When I went to it, it said "Hey, we noticed that you use $NAME as your ID at $BROKERAGE, a company which we own. For your convenience, we're going to set your ID to $NAME. If you want to change it, click below."

Honestly if there was any way to figure out what person was individually responsible for the intra-company political hell that went into getting that approved I would have sent him a cake in the mail on general principles.
I was using boring to be the opposite of charming. Maybe boorish is a better word.

However, although it is counterintuitive, I stand my ground. My job (until I stopped doing it) involved a weird intersection of art and technology. My roommates (when I had them) have all been artists. I know every gallery owner in San Francisco, I help set up friend's shows. Art is sort of "my thing" outside of programming. Thus I feel like I know a little bit about that world. The guys simply are not getting any. Sexual frustration is probably one of the driving factors for most contemporary art. The better the art, the less sex the artist is having. At a certain point the art becomes good enough to result in an odd sort of fame and fortune and then the artist may get to have sex again. However it's still less frequent than you'd think just because visual art does not carry the same cultural cachet as music, movies, pro wrestling or reality TV.

I know less about musicians but I used to be a really good jazz pianist and that got me nowhere with women. In fact it's taken years of heavy drinking to expunge all knowledge of jazz and piano from my system, and it still surfaces from time to time, rendering me involuntarily celibate. Have you been to a jazz show lately? It's all nerdy dudes. You'll have better luck with women by making inappropriate presentations at a ruby programming conference than you will by being a jazz musician. I snuck out to a jazz show last weekend and when I got home I lied to my girlfriend and told her I had met up with an ex for a drink. I knew she'd find that more forgivable. Of course, when people say musician these days they don't mean a jazz musician, they mean the Jonas Brothers and Dave Matthews. Sure, those guys are getting laid, probably even with similarly aged fans. But for every famous pop musician there are thousands of real musicians slaving away at their instrument with little hope of future procreation. Just read some Zed Shaw, he supposedly practices guitar 8 hours a day and you can tell by the tone of his rants that he hasn't had sex in almost a decade.

Now what about that statistic that said people who majored in studio art were 0% virgins? I'll grant that artists who go to art school definitely do get laid... while they are at art school. It's well established that art school chicks are the easiest women on the planet. I taught a "programming for artists" type course at an art school once and not a class session went by when I wasn't at least vaguely propositioned, and I was the instructor. Even the ugly fat dude who is supremely awesome at airbrushing dragons will get laid ONCE at art school. However, that's only because the messed up female artist who makes hand puppets out of her own hair decided to use the sexual encounter as the final project for her conceptual art elective. Once all these people get out of art school, the women all date gallery owners and lawyers and the guys never have sex again.

@pg

Can I make a suggestion: down voting a comment should cost the down voter a karma point, as well as the person who wrote the comment. This would ensure that people would think twice about down voting, and only down vote items that they really did not like.

I suggest this because I have seen many innocuous short comments - some attempts at humor - being downvoted to -10 or so. This seems somewhat unfair on the commenter.

I have never understood why most people even created PayPal accounts. A PayPal like system that worked well would be very convenient. But, when I go try to create an account, I always get stopped by the Terms of Service. How could anyone think that is reasonable? Why should I waive my cardholder rights for an associated credit card? If you walked into a store and they asked you to waive your rights under your cardholder agreement in order to use a credit card, would you do it? And, then you read about the dispute resolution process. It is clear that if you ever get any money out of the system, you should just consider yourself lucky.
I'd say that if you think of money in the system as play money and don't care about any associated bank account or credit card, then PayPal would be OK. Otherwise, it is not reasonable. I conclude that most people don't read the agreement, and just hope.

as long as Netbeans does not let me specify the line ending style of newly created files and does not provide me with an option to remove trailing whitespace on save, it's just not usable for my purposes.

Where I work, we have a very strict policy concerning these two things - actually it was me to formulate that policy in the first place, because having strict line endings makes the codebase look ever so cleaner.

Having clean line endings really helps with applying patches.

Not having options to fix these two aspects is just unprofessional - no matter how good the rest of the editor might be.
I find this incredibly hard to believe. Anyone who has gone through a single intro course in CS should understand at least the difference between linear and quadratic time. Perhaps I've been in the university too long. Are these people non technical majors who picked up programming in PHP?

I'm not so sure about that. A request for more information can be incredibly important (for instance: Tell me who committed the murder! also see: stubs on Wikipedia). Essentially, there is a point of diminishing returns, and after a while, possibly negative returns as the work becomes too hard to assimilate.

However, in this case, I tend to think that Zed included just enough information to get someone who's clueless started - he even included references at the end so that if you DO want more, you can easily get it.
I don't think this proof works, or maybe it embeds the assumption that "Paula is actually doing what she says she is doing" so far up that I can't see it.

If Victor chooses a row, I tell him "123456789". Victor accepts because each number appears once.

If Victor chooses a column, I tell him "123456789". Victor accepts because each number appears once.

If Victor asks to see my permutation, I return the actual problem. Victor accepts because that is a valid permutation of the actual problem.

Sure, I had to precompute the answer and put it in lock boxes, but since he only gets to see one lockbox per run I don't have to make the lockboxes internally consistent, do I? After all, I am a wicked woman trying to deceive Victor into thinking that I have solved his Sudoku puzzle.

(If you think Victor will eventually clue into me always choosing the same "random" permutation such that he gets 123456789 as the result, then you're giving Victor an awful lot of credit for what is essentially a math proof. Regardless, I can randomize any of my lockboxes by the same logic.)
I'm pretty sure that was AltaVista, not Google.
Thanks for replying.

I realize my initial request was a bit unclear. I'm not so much interested in the specific rules/legislation, but rather in a (canonical) implementation of a rules engine of that type. I get the basic functionality, but how does it come together elegantly?

I prefer cl where you get a daily refilled bucket of points you can assign to a post. you have so many points to assign (up or down) and you get more of those points over time. If you really like something a lot, you can give it 5 ups. if you really hate it, 5 downs... You start with none and can get 10, 20, 30... depending on account age.

cl doesn't have karma points, so perhaps the daily bucket size could be determined by karma points...
I think this article is great once you get past the rant-iness of it. He makes a bunch of valid points and it's true: a lot people actually don't take these pretty crucial details into account when they're dealing with statistics.

It's kind of a shame that his message is diluted by its delivery. Case in point: about half of the comments here aren't even about statistics!
"Sure, I had to precompute the answer and put it in lock boxes, but since he only gets to see one lockbox per run I don't have to make the lockboxes internally consistent, do I?"

Yes you do. The lockboxes must be filled before Victor makes his choice, you cannot change their contents afterwards. Therefore, you cannot return the actual problem when he chooses that and 12345678 when he chooses a row or column. That would require changing the boxes after his choice.

Also, if all rows contain 12345678 (same order), then columns contain 111111111, 222222222, ...., 999999999, not 12345678.
I upvoted you because I don't think you deserve to lose points for this post and someone else had already down voted you. That said this is like the stupidest idea I've ever heard.

I'm no fan of the down vote but it exists to allow the community to weed out undesirable comments. So those people who use it are at least trying to perform a service to the community. To penalized them for that is ridiculous.

So this guy is against using the axiom of choice because a countably infinite number of prisoners in a row who have agreed on an infinite set of equivalence classes just between breakfast and hat game time and remember them and each of them can recognize infinitely many hat colors in finite time (takes deep breath) suddenly becomes unintuitive using the axiom of choice?

There's no harm in doing it that way. By convention across my classes though I declare properties private and provide access via public getter methods.

The reason I use getters instead of direct access to properties (especially in PHP) is you can hide a lot of laziness behind them (i.e. database runs, object initialization etc) while at the same time providing a consistent interface to client code.

I didn't, and I'm graduating with a BS in CS from Stanford in a few weeks. We have an introductory stats requirement, but I found that the stats class I took my sophomore year for my (dropped) economics major was far more enlightening than my CS stats requirement.

I think the fundamental issue is that there's very little focus on statistical practice in most of these courses. Social scientists have it good: they're always taught how to deal with and interpret statistics in the same way they'll have to in their line of work. It's totally useless to throw a bunch of theory at students. I think that teaching statistics in the context of real problems is the only way (most) students will actually learn and come to appreciate how useful it is.

The department revamped the major this year, and they've introduced a mandatory stats class tailored to CS students: cs109.stanford.edu. I haven't looked through it at all, but I think it's a step in the right direction.

Finally, I have to give a shout-out to The Little Handbook of Statistical Practice (http://www.tufts.edu/~gdallal/LHSP.HTM) in this thread. It's an amazing resource for anyone who works with statistics. I've referenced it while doing performance testing, building an A/B testing system, and working on problem sets. From the website:

"My aim is to describe, for better or worse, what I do rather than simply present theory and methods as they appear in standard textbooks. This is about statistical practice--what happens when a statistician (me) deals with data on a daily basis."

"You should write a book. Seriously. I love that rare blend of guilt, frustration and bitterness. "

heh heh! Just my 2 cents, but being some kind of musician does get you laid in my experience. I am a very mediocre musician (I have no "instinct" for music I play very "mathematically", but hey I enjoy the playing) and am not handsome by any means, but my guitar playing (sucky as it is) has got me (and the other members of my rather ad hoc band) laid regularly. I think of being somewhat good at music as a "hack" to take care of the getting laid part (serious relationships are a different story).. And to be somewhat at music (vs being really good at it) takes only a year or so of practice so it is a good investment. So if all you want to do is get laid without too much effort, picking up a musical instrument maybe worth your while. The guitar is easy (compared to, say, the violin). form some kind of band and play at parties.

As I said, I am not discounting or challenging your (menloparkbum's) experience. just my 2 cents. YMMV

Not that the chances are any good, and I can understand why - it would be decidedly un-Pythonic. But it's just mildly frustrating at times when I find myself writing the same coupe of lines of code twenty times within a file, because scoping rules insist they have to be there (reading from locals() is often where it hits me))
