One complaint I have on the Mormon religion is that when people are introduced to the church through it's missionaries they are told that everything they need to know is in the Book of Mormon.
Then later on you find out that fundamental doctrines are not contained in there, but spread out among the Pearl of Great Price, the Book of Abraham, Doctrines and Covenants as well as 26 volumes of the Journal of Discourses.
That many central beliefs are not taught to members before baptism is troubling to me.
People should learn about those things and have a clear understanding of exactly what the church teaches before they are baptized.

GMail is pretty good but it still doesn't tell you when you're logged out. About once a week or so I'll notice the inbox isn't loading and I haven't gotten any new emails in a while, then it dawns on me... oh right password timeout.
Same thing happens to Reader in the next tab. Refresh both, back in business. But imagine how many non-tech types that confuses everyday.
Actually all those iOS apps already run on Intel, XCode simulator runs Intel code not ARM code. Android also runs on Intel but I believe most apps are emulated during development so they might have slightly more tweaking than an iOS app to get running on intel.
Once they're legally driving around autonomously some really neat things will happen.
You know that person who drives around and picks everyone up and takes them to work and the doctor and the dentist and stuff?
They get their lives back.
Now why should a couple have to maintain 2 cars anymore? Get their work schedules shifted off a little bit, and have the car drop them both off at work and pick them both up.
Once it's dropped them off, have it swing by the grocer and pick up the food you ordered online.
Heck let your friends borrow it once in a while as long as it's not touching your schedule.
Automatic ride share. When you're at work, your car can run as a taxi service all day. Just set up a filter that only accepts people with a certain rating level and charges enough to make it worth your while. Now your car is paying for itself. Too bad for Taxi drivers though.
Very interesting times ahead for the transportation sector.
In later news, the ENTIRE student body was arrested when it was discovered that every student had in their possession documents containing the letter "t" which is a representation of a phallus.
You never know, but the code reviewer could use whitespace and other coding convention rules as an easy way to check if you're a careful programmer.
As in the old bowl of no brown M&Ms required in the Van Halen contract. A quick and easy way to tell if the concert organizers were being careful to follow all requirements and safety conditions, the band hid a requirement for a bowl of no brown M&Ms deep in their contract.
If the bowl wasn't there or had a single brown M&M they'd know the stage and lights setup was potentially life threatening and immediately cancel the concert.
If you can't be bothered to follow naming conventions, brackets and whitespace requirements... how can they trust you to be a careful developer?
I do understand you point I was picking a post to argue semantics.:-)
Dealing with awful interpreters is a common experience for me. Most have the habit of following the source language too closely and are practically transliterating. Strangely even certified professionals have a hard time letting go of specific words or reformulating the sentence structure so that it makes sense in the target language. Yes, the language is the box and the idea is substance inside... pull it out, throw away the box and put it in a new one. Too many just put the original box inside a new one. Since they know the original language meaning they can't grasp how their rendering is insensible to someone lacking that prior knowledge.
The most ironic thing about this whole thread. Bibles are translated, a scripture may be incomprehensible without certain cultural and historic knowledge. Interpretation goes much further than this.
I was thinking about that and wondering how a randomly generated maze could have such attributes such as no loops or isolations, I gave it a try...
It looks random to me, and doesn't seem to show the properties you mentioned. Well the thing is with the spaces on the sides of " | " you really CAN'T get an isolation since you can't close off a box. With the gaps you can go around basically any corner and get where you want. If I close those spaces up a bit then yeah there's boxes and isolations and plenty of unreachable areas.
I tried copying your exact "| " and "___" from the pasted code but it comes out worse. Maybe something got filtered. But checking the maze generation algorithms on Wikipedia doesn't show any as simple as you mentioned.
Let me know if I did it wrong or something.

If it's profitable, and people want to keep it around, why hasn't someone bought it off them?
They just want to kill it? No sale considered?
Could someone kickstarter this? The product is DONE, they could just buy the software and code for ohhh... a few million. Give the people who buy into it 6 months free, then open source the thing and keep it alive.
I recently visited a community college that actually had a free speech zone way out on the corner of the quad. There was also a policy of not allowing religious or political discussions.
How do they expect the philosophy, theology and political science majors to do their assignments?

I'm not a mormon. I'm saying it's a bait and switch.

The thing is, it's not about overall cost to prevent vs to allow. It's about which is more predictable and easier to be profited from.
Tanking a well run company is a tremendous profit for those in the know, and turning things around at the right time doubly so.
A war is extremely expensive and wasteful, but extremely profitable to those well positioned.
Bubbles are manufactured, the follow predictable patterns and allow profits on the upside and the downside.
Allowing these things to happen is just another example of privatizing profit and socializing losses.
The real question is, how many deniers are secretly believers?
Smart guy, too bad you can't read.

Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

That's interpretation not translation.

Ahhh, that's much better.
Hey funny the code for changing the borders only works right in Chrome.
Safari will leave the bottom stuck, even if you change around the order of the assignments.
Firefox bizarrely changes other cells in the area around the clicks.
And THAT'S why I don't do web development.
We need to get rid of this web thing, it's ruining the internet!

Poor AT&T. If only there was some kind of device that could count all this data everyone is downloading. What a wonderful thing that would be!
A good idea, but you end up with a classic prisoners dilemma.
