  1. Re:How does Surepay store it? on Responsible Handling of Billing Information? · · Score: 1

    Surepay obviously doesn't store the data. That's why they won't support recurring billing.

  2. ML on Using Lisp to beat your Competition. · · Score: 1

    ML is your daddy! Seriously though, someone told me about some CMU researchers who wrote a pretty fast web server in ML, sweet ... I must say that since I learned ML I have thought of everything at work (Java) in terms of how much easier I could do it in ML.

  3. True, true, true on "Extreme" Programming · · Score: 1

    I've been working as a code monkey for a couple years, and two months ago I convinced my boss to hire one of my coder friends (Drunk Gary). We've been working on the same project together, and we've found ourselves often working on the same code simultaneously (cooperative not seperate). I've found that I am more productive and the code that D-Gary and I come up with is much more finalized that what I come up with by myself.
    Rock over teamwork, rock over chicago.

  4. Re:Invention of Zero on History and Culture of Computing? · · Score: 1

    Avoid this book! It is full of melodramatic crap and not much good information. This history of zero and of positional number systems is very long and diverse. There really isn't any culture that can be credited with it's "invention". Best avoided if you don't want to spent three weeks talking about it.

  5. Use of Text on Eidola - Programming Without Representation · · Score: 1

    Eidola seems set on the notion: "text is a very poor notation system for the concepts of a high-level language" It seems to me that text is the best working representation for the highest-level language that we speak (i.e. English). Maybe I'm just old fashioned . . .
