I have a problem with developing attachments to the books, movies, games, and other media that I enjoy. For example, after I finished playing the new Prince of Persia title via rental, I enjoyed it so much that I went out and bought my own copy, even though I knew...
Computer programming can be a lot of fun, or it can be brain-rendingly frustrating. The transition between these two states often goes something like this: Paula the Programmer: Computer, using the "Paula's_Neat_Geometry" library, draw a triangle near the top of the screen once per frame. Cronus the Computer: Sure, no...
The lawyer wants both warm fuzzies and charitrons, but has conflated the two, and will probably get buzzkilled (and lose out on both measures) if the distinction is made clear. The best outcome is one where the lawyer gets to maximize both, and that happens at the end of a long road that begins with introspection about what warm fuzzies ought to mean.
It would probably be best to just remove all questions that contain certain key phrases like "this image" or "seen here". You'll get a few false positives but with such a big database that's no great loss.
Seconded on that video, it's cheesy but very straightforward and informative.

While an interesting idea, I believe most people just call this "gambling".
I'm not sure what you're driving at here. A gambling system where everybody has a net expected gain is still a good use of randomness.
A human running quicksort with certain expectations about its performance might require a particular distribution, but that's not a characteristic of software.
I think this may be a distinction without a difference; modularity can also be defined as human expectations about software, namely that the software will be relatively easy to hook into a larger system.

That might be a distinction without a difference; my preferences come partly from my instincts.
I have a problem with developing attachments to the books, movies, games, and other media that I enjoy. For example, after I finished playing the new Prince of Persia title via rental, I enjoyed it so much that I went out and bought my own copy, even though I knew I would be unlikely to play the game again for at least a year.
This is wasteful in a lot of ways. The media takes up unnecessary space, and makes moving from one place to another more difficult; the last time I moved, easily 3/4 the boxes contained media, primarily books which have especially low information-to-weight and information-to-volume ratios.
More importantly, my magpie habit... (read 442 more words →)

Paula the Programmer: Computer, using the "Paula's_Neat_Geometry" library, draw a triangle near the top of the screen once per frame.
Cronus the Computer: Sure, no problem.
P: After drawing that triangle, draw a rectangle 50 units below it.
C: Will do, boss.
P: Sweet. Alright, after the rectangle, draw a circle 20 units to the right, then another 20 units to the left.

Taboo "faith", what do you mean specifically by that term?
