Many USicans only have Saturdays free to run errands. Ending services on Saturday is a burden to them. Ending delivery on any other day of the week would be preferable.
I thought Joe Lieberman was a political opportunist when he was running under the Democratic ticket. He has proven his political motivations time and time again. I don't think he is a very forward thinking individual. I wish he would stay out of these issues.
The copy construct is a higher-order construct that cannot be represented at the level of abstraction this API is operating at. The OP is really complaining that the API has an impedance mismatch with the level at which most programmers actually work.
A truly "smart" person knows that almost everyone he meets is "dumber" than him. So he spends his life talking to people who are "dumber" which causes one of two reactions. He either becomes arrogant or he becomes humble. Arrogant is easy to explain. This arrogance is born of the knowledge that you are "better" than most of the people you work with.
Humble is harder. The humility comes from years of seeing what the "best" path is and trying to save people from their own stupidity and finally realizing that all the genius in the world is worthless if it doesn't help anyone. Humility is the knowledge that no matter how genius you are it is pointless if your genius is consumed in a self-serving intellectual Ouroboros.
I test in the top 2% for intelligence. This means 98% of the people I meet are "dumber" than I am. There are also a vast array of people far more intelligent than I am. People that make me look like a total moron. From this vantage I can see that without making my intelligence available or useful then all of my talents are a "chasing after the wind" and only so much "sound and fury" amounting to nothing. Such a rating is worthless and meaningless unless it yields a result in some context (evolutionarily or otherwise).
This last step toward humility requires a tiny bit more intelligence and wisdom than arrogance does.
Let's say Google hires the smartest 2% of programmers on the planet. The reaction will probably either be arrogance or humility. So if this is the product of genius what is it? Inaccessible arrogance? Then they are using the wrong metric for intelligence and don't have programmers that are smart enough in the right ways.
Humility is harder. Humility is precious. Humility requires real intelligence.
I tuned in for the lost-fest last night.

I never watched the show that much but from what I did see it made me wonder why people thought it was a hard show to follow. It seems rather straight forward but poorly thought out. From the recap show I saw and the finale it looks like the show was written for thrills and twists that made the writers really work to try and tie things together (much like "David Copperfield"). Based on the show last night it looks like the writers are all fans of destiny and fated lovers tropes (or at least think we all are). Ironically, it looks like they had a hell of a time keeping everything moving in a way that seemed fated and destimonious.
This is why I think TV stories would work better if they stuck with single season shows with planned story arcs that complete each year. Reboot or tell totally different stories each new season using only characters and places from the old series in the new. Continuity is a bitch.

Two things came out of Berkely in the 60's: LSD and BSD.

At least there are no ads in my dreams.
How do you get the idea that Amazon does not pay postage (support the service that the post office provides them)?
Which raises the question... why aren't they just going to raise postal rates for Saturday delivery? I mean... they *are* a business.

Lovely, they've edited the main article to now point to *your* link instead of the original link with 7 cults. Which is bothersome on multiple levels.
Also, I don't think I've ever met anyone who considers perl to be their primary language.
I have. Several times. It's never pretty.
I cyberf**ed your mom
... in bed.
This joke:
One can only imagine what wonders they will reveal in July, perhaps self buttering toast.
+1 like
Putting 'cyber' in front of something is just a way for people to grasp technical concepts
... in bed.
The analogies quickly break down, and are useless when taken too far
... I'm actually surprised Perl isn't in the article.
*ROFL* I now distrust the whole article.
I can't decide if you should get a +1 funny or +1 insightful ... maybe +1 inciteful? (as in funny and insightful but in an comically trollish way)
Actually, I'm beginning to think I have some haters. Also... I don't need the karma. I'm capped. So... whatever.
But, to my fans, I thank you.
I wouldn't say that Perl or Python suffer from what PHP suffers from.
No. They don't suffer from it they thoroughly enjoy it.

I don't think I like Joe the Lieberman very much.
I expect whomever's been using Betelgeuse for gravitational slingshot maneuvers to own up to it! :)
Do not travel through time or Eschaton will kick your ass.
*bow* I'm here all week
I would have enjoyed watching that one blow up in their faces.
Spill, baby, spill!
Yes, but because Microsoft is doing it ... it will be *cool*
Disco Stu disagrees. Disco is still alive!
It's called Techno or Trance now Stu. So you're Techno Stu.
