Guns are find so long as people get to use them and their not something to scare or attack other people with.
Banning Guns is fine, so long as you ban all governments from having them too.
as for the claim that the motive was that she was trying to listen to the people she's supposed to represent (link has she never done things before, there is a first time for everything I suppose).
Did the gunman come out with a tea party flag on one hand and an Uzi in the other?
There's prototyping things like patterns or algorythms and that you may well do in something like Octave/Matamatica/MathCad or whatever.
I may prototype in JavaScript or a quick RAD language or python 'hollywood software' as a friend calls it.
Good to show clients and play around with things on a very high level, without actually having much functionality. Or alternatively playing around on a very low level without any glue, or worries about real world performance or optimizations.
That should be a part of iterative development. But it should more into 'real world' stuff, which can then result in 'alpha' versions and such. Which now gets called prototyping now-a-days.
Well the quality of CS grads has dropped to perthetic. Reading the/. post about people taking biology at University just learning things by wrote and not actually learning critical thinking or principle-based reasoning sticks it home hard. That the education system in both the US and the UK is now focused on how much you can remember (it's easy to give an exam of that) vs how much you can work out.
Personally I think that exams shouldn't be closed book, or at least be open book with some restrictions. Who in the real world doesn't have access to research and reference material at their fingertips.
Say reverse polish notation to a CS grad or Prologue / Hascal and you seem to get a blank look. A level ITC (which is a level below a degree here in the UK) has exam questions like. What do you need to set-up a internet site.
With answers like An internet connection A computer A web server software.
May have well been. A power cable A consultant A Hard disk.
What if your running a SSH server or torrent tracker? What if your using the cloud or hosted system.... Hell you could even do it on a mobile phone now a-days (though that's a computer)
And the exams where full of buzz words I've never even heard in my life.
Truly shocking.
CS Grads from 10 years ago could actually write assembler or prologue, or write a 3D graphics engine. Now so hot on OO I suppose back then. But even that's not taught properly.
Math is just as bad in many ways. I've a friend who was a lecturer for years, and he say's it's gone down hill like a tonne of shit. Calculus isn't about teaching limits any-more, it's about remembering formula. I dropped out almost 20 years ago because that's what my math teacher was doing.
No wonder there are so many idiots at the top of the system, the ones who say what they system is. A self fulfilling prophecy.
Yep that's why I stopped going to Math at A level. Because the prick teaching the class had just learned math by wrote and obviously couldn't teach it. He also used to put off and move around the lessons all the time, so he could do some crap with football (or some other sport).
Like your getting paid to tech Math you fucking moron, if you'd rather be doing sport. Fuck off and do that, but don't take the Math course your just gona look like some selfish ignorant prick.
yeh, water is transient, more like a catalyst.The water will get taken up and then perspired by the plant. So I'm not sure if you can say the water is actually part of the plant mass or the plant has water.
That's a bit like saying if you have a big lunch then the food is a big part of your mass, or if you put on a lead overcoat that's a big part of your mass.
You can take the water out of the plant, but it's harder to take the plant out of the water.
The thing is that people think in different ways, schizoid personality or Asperger's or psychopath for instance.
Psychopath's reason more via the human connection, emotionally so to speak. Their the politicians who say scientists should know their place, their the ones who control people and the education system. They learn by having things beaten into them, what they are told, via authority.
I know PHd's who said psychics is easy you just have to remember all the stuff, some how managed to get a PHd, and now apparently write code. Their code show a complete inability to think, beyond the 'customer says black = 1' case customer if 'bills body shop':
case colour
if 'black' : return 1. if 'customer number 2'
case weight
if convert.ToInteger('55') return 2.
Yep that bad, I think I've got a copy of some kicking around if you don't believe.
Well it would be nice if I had my human rights first, such as freedom of religion. The UK is far from secular, so I don't see how I could possibly have freedom of religion when someone else's is imposed on me.
Asside from that I hope they don't have too stronger sense of self. Since that would be insane.
really most principals can be applied to any kind of work and the employee doesn't really matter (a developer should pair with a sales person, if that's the kind of experience you want to swap for instance)
Code repository = Auditable whatever, and filing. Bug / Feature tracker = CRM or whatever. Usability testing = Product evaluation and feedback. etc....
Best tools money can buy, should really be most appropriate tools etc...
Do you pair employees regularly (at least from time to time) to allow for cross training so the more experienced staff etc.. (whatever the experience) can learn with the less experienced ones.
Do you have an adaptive development strategy, beyond well just do it.
The best argument I've head yet for python is it's quick to prototype in, so why bother with anything else.
that's also the best argument I've heard for making cars out of balsa wood.
Writing something in a language doesn't mean that you've either done it well, or that it's applicable to a different style of language.
So I've seen some quite horrific XSTL and lots of bitching from people who've never programmed in something like prolog for instance. (including CS grads and Phds [my god their full of it sometimes!])
That would be the do one things and do it well, don't try to shoe horn an elephant into a slipper.
I should say your more Python (typeless) form of coding may be superficially quicker, but your knowledge is limited by an understanding of the language use within the particular local context of the code.
You can do the same in many languages, but types provide definitions for the language model used when writing the code. So although it may require more writing, it makes the understanding more definitive and less based on intuition (so more logical).
Python may be intuitive, I wouldn't trust people's intuition though, let alone try to understand it in a 'logical' way, beyond phenotypes.
tells me fuck all I'm afraid. It's not self documenting.
I would have something like: iEvents.GetEvent(iTime);
though, and dependant on the action of the wrapping function the variable names may change to provide more information about what's actually going on in relation to the function logic.
I think one classic 'readability' example was some guy (who wasn't that experienced) saying that they preferred to use an iterator and concatenate a token seperater on each iteration then remove it at the end.
Because it was easier to read than doing length of array - 1 (or -2 dependant on what you length and index are) and the just adding array[array.length] on at the end without the separator.

Belief in some supernatural force that will forgive all your fuck-ups is way too easy and kids get encouraged far too early in their lives.

Nope, it was a namespace or static class the possessive article.
