I loved the first edition of this book. This was one of the best introductions to object-oriented programming and Eiffel programming language. Written by Bertrand Meyer.
After all the pilot is the first person to arrive at a scene of crash.
There are times when playing Minesweeper would be just fine, and there are times when the pilot needs to be on top of things. An pilot flying an airliner is has equivalent of a PHD in aviation. Perhaps we not try to regulate every last action he does.
Math teaches you how to think abstractly and see the patterns in what seems like unrelated pieces of data. I observed that programmers who know a lot math are great software designers - they can abstract common things in what seem like disjointed pieces of code.
Abstract math is the ultimate illustration of the DRY principal (DRY == Don't Repeat Yourself).
Absolutely! We as a country are letting the Presidency to become too powerful. And unfortunately it does not matter which party the President represents. Once power is acquired it is not easily given back.
Sigh! Obama is the President, not a freaking Emperor. The President's power is limited - as it should be. Somehow U.S. citizens don't understand how their government works. Laws and money are handled by Congress. The President can propose things (including budgets) but Congress is free to ignore him.
Years ago I was an editor of a magazine about Eiffel programming language I wrote this editorial on differences between low-level and high-level of coding.
I've read couple of these books, but not "Outliers". I found a bit annoying but couldn't place my finger on it until I read Joel's Review. He's right on the money - the author just states the obvious.....

Having insurance does not help either. See this story in NYT
They have books in South Carolina!!
...where PI is set to 3.0?
A professional is an amateur who did not give up.
Sigh... USA cannot default. We can make more dollars when needed...
I've read the Pascal version of this book. You are right - it was great!

"Oh! Pascal". Yes!! I still have my copy too. I think I used when I taught Pascal programming years ago.
Hmmm...... I'm still hacking C++ everyday...
Well, the reverse law should be in place as well then. If a student "friends" a teacher on Facebook, he/she should be thrown out of school...
And where are you going to sell this cheaply produced stuff made in China for a huge profit? Not in China, as those workers cannot afford it.
Anything that sticks out on any airplane is prone to icing. This has nothing to do with Airbus, but with simple physics.....

I hear that in Somalia they have no socialistic government programs and no restricting regulations on business. Why don't you move there?
How so? Examples?
Weren't we there one before with 4 GLs? See Wikipedia

So, using the power of his position he got FOX News off the air and Rush sent to Gitmo? No? Not much of a thug....
By your definition most Presidents would qualify as thugs. Especially the previous one...

Huh? What is your definition of a thug?

Actually there is. Just ask the students to rate the teacher. Ask the parents to do the same. You will find the good teachers in a flash...
