I appreciate when strangers act with social disregard and disrespect as it gives me an easy opportunity to point out to my kids what not to do if you want to function in society.
Thanks for providing the example. It saves me from embarrassing myself.
Traditionally it's said that the value of a network increases as the square of the number of nodes, however this considers only value generated by potential pairwise connections.
If a social network were geared toward linking groups of three for some maximum objective (business partnerships, sex, friendship, counseling, etc.) then by the same reasoning its value should vary as the cube of the number of nodes, and then this thricebook would kill facebook.
Each newscast could feature a colored bar across the bottom of the screen representing an objective measurement of the most important story being covered during the program.
Yet another bar could symbolize the pleasantness of prevailing weather conditions.
And of course, another colored bar could represent the current national security level.
Yet another bar could serve as an indicator for important national holidays.
Yet another bar could serve to indicate the current position of the sun in the sky.
Yet another bar could estimate the likelihood of on-air news personalities to quit during that newcast.
Dependency injection is a real boon for being able to test components while holding their dependencies constant. Not using it, you're committing yourself to all kinds of fakery to simulate mock database connections, 3rd-party resources, etc. - or you're just committing to not being able to unit test a component in isolation.
Spoken like a true non-parent, or at best a parent who is generalizing from only their own limited anecdotal experience.
Not all kids are that easy, and not all parenting is that easy.
There are kids (and, to be fair, parents) for whom the "process" is just more complicated than consistent positive discipline and natural consequences.
I'm glad what works for you, works for you. Not every parent had a functional upbringing themselves and not every child is neurotypical.
What the media is not reporting is that "Jiaolong" is a 5,000 meter long tube that ferries disenfranchised peoples from the surface to the ocean floor. Unemployed manufacturing sector workers are put into protective suits and then get injected into the Jiaolong tube. They are whooshed to the bottom of the ocean floor, where they are instructed on pain of torture to their family to claw at the ocean floor. If they find hydrate or interesting metals, they are instructed to push a little orange button on their jumpsuit which triggers a collection mechanism in their gloves. If they are running short of breath, they push a little green button. Unfortunately the little green button is not wired to anything. When the clawer eventually expires, the vacuum sucks them out and they spend a little while floating to the top of the ocean whereupon their protective suit is reclaimed and the process is started anew.
But to the extent this happens more than once in a while, what would you rather have, a reputation for fixing bugs quickly, or a reputation for building systems that are unpredictable/unreliable?
It may have been a half-truth at the time, but current generation 1.7GHz Intel i7 processors leave 3.4GHz Pentium 4's of yesteryear in the dust, so there's something to it, yeah?

It was pretty bad as far as puns go. Would have posted anon, but I do not like the krone of shame.
If you miss Cyborg September this go-around, don't worry, it'll be back.
Constructive suggestion:

No problem, you just need to change the angle of your jetpack and turn on anti-grav on your netbook.
Yeah, that's tempting.

If you're going to poke a dead person, their right mind is actually fine place to start. Trepanate and penetrate.
Awesome. Well I wager I'm going to flunk sarcasm and reading, now where do I collect my check?
