I suffer this fate every day. It is made worse by being locked down so hard I can't even use PowerShell. All I have is Notepad++ for development, searching, mass text manipulation...

The whole thing exudes the great sadness of the loss of a child. War sucks, but we keep doing it.

In Australia, McDonald's is exceptionally busy in the morning for the drive-through and the sit-down areas. Lots of parents bring their children there before school. At least the one in Albion, Brisbane.

I do not know why the positive manifold is as it is. But it still seems like it is a precise measure of an inaccuracy.

What I am getting at in a roundabout way is that I cannot find any credible definition of intelligence that is not dependent on the these tests. If intelligence were able to measured some other way that corroborated these tests, then I will be more likely to believe them.

It is more correctly circular reasoning. The psychometric measure g does not break this circle at all. I will never believe in "intelligence tests" until this circular reasoning can be broken.

Q: What is intelligence? A: Thing that is measured with intelligence tests.

Yes, I know what you mean. But I had to make an exception for DrRacket. It was just so much better than any vim plugin I tried.

Luckily, this also failed to change the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear-powered_aircraft

Can I ask why you don't use DrRacket? Write your code in the definitions panel and hit f5.

Comment only magical code, but don't write magical code.

Ad hominem?

This was proven practically by George W. Bush, as reported by Steven Colbert here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7FTF4Oz4dI

Continuations. Second only to Monads for having so many bad explanatory articles written about it.

Inviting others to critique your work. Great to see. I will have to have a serious look at Rust sometime then.

I observed this in a few humans myself.

I read that a few times (and a few times in the past) and I find it more difficult to comprehend and reason about than the programming language itself. So, if I build something today and I want to distribute it WITHOUT distributing the source - can I do it? Yes, or no?

For me, I have started to tinker with it because of the increase in the availability of documentation, especially from Adacore. Google will show you some high quality pdfs out there. There's also Adacore University. Also, the IDE - GNAT Programming Studio, is pretty good. I even used it to write some C.

This scenario wasn't unit/functional tested then.

Make sure you bury it with enough soil. You will get termites (in sub/tropical Australia at least) if you leave the wood exposed or too lightly buried. There is also the matter of snakes - they like to live in wood piles.

Not supporting picking on Kevin Rose, but what to do when a large influx of money and moneyed people causes the cost of living to skyrocket for the locals?

I was looking at Chicken Scheme just the other day also for a financial app. Tried and utterly failed to load the bb and iup eggs to get a gui going. And this was in vanilla Ubuntu. Had to go back to Racket.

Yes. You'd think that they would have moved to open source already if they could. Impending end of support for XP was no secret nor unexpected.
