Interesting! Are the three zombie death sounds perhaps speed-shifted versions of the same original? My recollection (it's been a while) is that zombies made dramatically different sounds on death but--once I started looking for it--they all seemed to be speed-shifted versions of the same sound, while pitch-shifting in other sounds was subtle enough that I never noticed it. If pitch-shifting normally applied equally to most sounds, that implies that there was something else going on with the zombie noises I recall.

Or maybe I'm completely confused because I haven't played it since the '90s. Might be time to give it another try...
You really want the surgeon who is only doing his best due to fear to be operating on you?

I don't care why he's doing his best. It would be nice if he was doing his best because he's a dedicated professional, but doing his best out of fear is far better than being operated on by some slacker not giving their best.

So the answer to your question is yes, please, I want the surgeon who is doing his best; not the one who is slacking.

I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say
that several months ago in Detroit, we had an investigation at
which over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly

a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all
levels of command....

They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut
off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones
to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs,
blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages
in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs
for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the
countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage
of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is
done by the applied bombing power of this country.

excellent article, thanks.

it's comforting -for me- to see that almost everybody is going through the same phases while learning haskell. i believe that should say something to haskell community.

i've recently started learning haskell. it's been 25 days. (so says cabal) i was reading a book and struggling to build a web app. (why web app?) i was so close to quitting. later i decided this is not the way to learn haskell. one simply does not read the book and try stuff. that was not enough. at least for me. so i changed my method.

my new method of learning haskell is:

- read the book.

- find one or more mentors (i have two) that are really good at haskell and can answer all kinds of impatient questions you have.

- watch people doing and explaining haskell stuff.

- join #haskell-beginners on freenode and ask your questions.

- create something small first that you can turn into something big later.

online haskell resources are surprisingly deficient however #haskell-beginners community is awesome when it comes to helping n00bs like me and "learn you a haskell" book is an excellent book.

one more resource that i use as reference material is the "haskell from scratch" [0] screencast series by chris forno (@jekor).

before you begin, make sure you checkout chris allen's (@bitemyapp) "learn haskell" [1] guide.

we'll get there people, we'll get there. :)

I wonder how historians of the future will look back on today's time period, knowing that we had the technology to cheaply and easily document our time period for the future, and that we opted not to out of short-term financial interests. It may actually be harder for them to do things like construct family genealogies for today's people than for those living in the 1700's because with digital data stored in the cloud, preciously little of it will survive across the next few centuries.

There should be a role here for government, to let people give digital data in permanent archival for historical purposes. But given how poorly governments are preserving their own digital data, I doubt it could actually work.

P2P is not the answer. It may work for the 1% (popular videos), but for the 99% it does not provide a viable alternative for on-demand content... I don't want to wait 5 hours for a 3 year old how-to video to stream from a single seed with limited upload capacity :(.

It's not a pretty-printer. It's fine for printing stuff when you don't care what it looks like most of the time. Pretty printing is a vague term though. There are certainly many ways to pretty-print in Haskell, some of which are bi-directional pretty-printers/parsers.

Tell your lead front dev this approach isn't best practice at all.

You want one collection li's to not have the style? Use an alternative class on the ul: "collection collection-alt".

You want nested li's to not inherit the styles? Use ".collection > li" in your CSS.

In any case, assigning a class on each li goes exactly against CSS best practices, because it prevents taking advantage of the inheritance of property values or of advanced selectors.
Timings of user input probably.
This really does look incredible. I'm curious, how much heritage does it share with Bootstrap?

Well, you have 2 options (possibly 3!)

1. Get a new job doing something more to your taste. Easy if your skills, salary expectations and local job opportunities are compatible. Remember though it's a job, so it will always have some bad parts. Or do a startup if you don't have money worries.

2. Stay and do what you are told (with an occasional moan!) This is a pretty common scenario for a lot of people.

3. Try and change things. Slowly... This may require compromise and improving your communication and influencing skills to people who may not have technical knowledge but have some kind of power.

Good luck!
> I don't think the effects were expected, at least not officially.

I'm not sure about that, and if they weren't this was gross misconduct either way as issues related to dioxin contamination were either known or strongly hinted at before the operation started.

> This was an herbicide, not a chemical weapon.

The herbicide itself (actually a combination of two herbicides, 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T) is relatively innocuous, but during manufacturing 2,4,5-T can be contaminated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin — the colloquial "dioxin" (by accidental overheating which is a significant risk of high-temperature 2,4,5-T production).

This contamination was revealed in 1952 (by Monsanto) and the toxicity of TCDD was published/revealed as early as 1957 (and Boehringer who manufactured 2,4,5-T using a low-temperature process warned other producers of the high-temperature process's risk and provided mitigation suggestions).

Operation Ranch Hand started in 1962.

And what makes the model of haskell any more superior to models developed in any other field like accounting, physics or chemistry ?

I am sorry, haskell is just a huge roadblock to get things done in the real world.

In the real world proffesional need to juggle all sorts of models. Haskell just says "Fcuk you ! its my way or the gonadway !".

I need to juggle between json, matrix, html, etc.
Each of them have hundreds of expections.

You can say my model is imperfect but guess what buddy, every model is. The only models that will work for all cases is prolly einstein's equations but even that has exceptions when dealing with blackholes !

I tried writing a music library in haskell and haskell makes it really hard to create rules that are expections to the model. Apparently the models developed by 1000s years of music theory is not good enough for haskell !

I cannot even image what it must to be code chemical rules using hakell that have hundreds of expections, or biologial models ! Oh My !

I am sorry haskell just gets makes computation much more difficult. Apparently mutation is a crime even though god himself thought it was okay as a rule for everything in the universe.

my anecdotal experience.

((

btw i really like the concepts in haskell. I read two of its famous books - LYAGH and RWH. And use all haskell concepts almost daily in production. However the implementation of haskell is not really ready for production or useful enough for the average developer. Its also not easy for the average developer to put food on the table using haskell

))
This exaggerates the problem. There is more preserved data about people than ever before, just like there was more preserved data last century than there was the previous century. There is simply vastly more data collected. I speculate that deleting 20% of this century's data would still leave an order of magnitude more data about people than was recorded last century.

I think future historians will look back in the same way we do now. We're horrified that people discarded, burned or reused records from every century in history, but technology allows us to record and preserve more every year.
An alternate interpretation is that the OP doesn't want Monsanto to grow their food because of their involvement in the military-industrial complex and poisoning of the environment, not because their defoliant was contaminated.
I saw lots of allegations but no real evidence. That was, essentially, why the case was lost: for all the things said, nothing of substance could be corroborated. I don't think they even found a bad review....

The string matching is fuzzy though. It is case insensitive and it ignores at least some non-alphanumeric characters.

For example, "twenty-four" will return results about the TV show "Twenty Four" as well as results for "twenty four" and "twenty-four".

There's some other maddening exceptions for those who would prefer exact string matching, but I can't remember them all and it's changed over the years too.

I had a really interesting conversation with a couple of guys a few months ago about cost of living. Cost of living is a really interesting entry point into thinking about economics, policies, wealth and such. I really think our decisions would be better if this was a bigger part of the economic debate rather then the very abstract macroeconomics, political theory and abstract ideological debates we have been carrying for so long. The role of technology, policy and taste/choices is a lot easier to decipher. I think it's a lot more productive way of structuring public debate/demands/protests.

Cost of living at the fat centre of the distribution for many/most households in advanced economies looks something like like this:

- Housing + utilities (25-50% of income)
- Transport (10-20%)
- Groceries (7.5-15%)

Housing is the big hairy item. It's dishearteningly competitive, so high income places often have correspondingly high housing costs and the percentage remains constant.

Anyway.. Transport.

Transport is a major cost item and it's quality is important. A fundamental ingredient in most people and place's fundamental economic wellbeing equation. It's also one of the most fixable with technology.

A 90 minutes commute on crowded public transport is way worse than a 10 minute walk or drive. Transport infrastructure takes up a lot of space, affects air quality, makes noise, affects walkability and lots of other key quality of life issues. Energy. Time. Health. Money. Transport is a very big deal.

If you've seen cities that had major increases in cycling and/or electric bikes/scooters, you were probably surprised by the success. There is a lot of potential here.

10-20 mph electric bikes, given the right customs, rules and infrastructure can be awesome in dense urban areas. Potentially game-changing over time.
Dunno about Google, but in the past couple of companies where I worked age was a strong source of bias no doubt.

Yeah, technically I agree.

But I must confess, I used it in the past to have a convenient way to print out something like: 'Add "x" "y"' as "x + y". I didn't care about using read to turn it back into the internal representation since expression parsing is kind of difficult. I used Parsec instead. So I had show to output and a parser as the inverse.
> More specifically we have snorscooters, bromscooters ...

"The snorscooters drive like snorscooters!"

"Who ever heard of a snorscooter?"

"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams."

To be a little more helpful, if like me you don't know what these are, it seems the bromscooter is the same as a snorscooter but without the 25km/h speed limit (and are required to be on the roads with the driver wearing a helmet). You may recognise these as just "scooters" in your own country or "mopeds".

That is a risk if you buy low and sell high, but if you buy and hold for a few days it's pretty safe. Worst case you lose buying power for a short time.
