20 goto 10 got me intrigued with how computers worked and how to program them when I was 9. It never stopped. Most others saw 'Hello' running up the screen and said 'meh'.
I like to point out that *all* code is procedural in that all instructions effectively happen after and because of a previous instruction. Objects are just a different way to organize those instructions, but easier to teach after the fact. Its easier to teach this:
price = 10.00 taxes = calculate_tax(price)
And then explain how a "taxed_item" object is cool later.
I do not find Ruby's structuring more intuitive. When teaching my daughter how computers work, using Python was immediately readable without having to teach her funny symbols.
Write out the Ruby version of this sometime:
friends = ['Mark', 'Andrew', 'David'] for friend in friends:
print "Hi, " + friend
Expanding this to calculate ages based on birthdays, etc. was a breeze and very easy to understand. Ruby just has a bigger curve I found.
You're missing the point -- the vacuum itself has no temperature; that was the statement. Sure, an object placed into a vacuum can have a temperature, but that object *is not a vacuum* and is thus destroying the experiment.
How can there be a temperature of a void? Its a divide-by-zero problem. There is nothing to have a temperature to measure. Temperature is the movement of particles; no particles, no temperature.
SSL would work a lot better if client certificates were used by banks and payment websites... but since the client can't be authenticated, the key exchange can always be MitM attacked.
I signed in to check out the interface. I see no way to find existing friends, except by entering each of their E-mail addresses by hand. Thus endeth experiment.
Anti-gun protesters probably believe the armed forces aren't allowed to operate within the boundaries of their own country except in a time of war, so its not relevant.
What's amazing to me is that Americans still allow so much celebratorial focus to be placed on irrational things like the arms race, the cold war and the space race. Meanwhile, cities and even counties are nearing bankruptcy, people need food stamps to live, and whether everyone deserves access to medical care is still up for debate. Its very hard for us outsiders to understand why Americans celebrate independence and war and even innovation rather than caring about their own people.
And yet many belief systems in the world tell people to try and control their irrational fears, while Americanism (if I can call it that) seems to prod it into full fruition.
Can we do something instead about all the mail system operators who've handed over spam controls to third parties and accept messages, then blackhole them without telling either the sender or the intended recipient? Whitelists aren't a solution because they don't help fix the actual problem of bad filtering. Individuals who filter their own E-mail can tweak their settings, but servers that reject mail should do so at connection time... a 5xx or 4xx message response should be *required* if you're not actually going to deliver it.
I'm sick and tired of explaining to customers that their perfectly legitimate E-mails aren't getting through because the person they're trying to contact uses Cloudmark, or some other "easy" solution company.

A keyboard has molecules whose movements can be measured externally ... a void does not. By our definition of temperature, there isn't one in a void.

As opposed to Python's [ welcome(dude) for dude in users ] ?? Because that actually makes sense.

Man I wish my natural hearing had an off switch sometimes ...
Mind giving us your credentials while you wave your arms in the air?

People who are deaf don't suddenly start hearing their own beating heart in the chamber ... jeez.
Because properly generated client certs would be distributed by the sites not a third party signing authority.
This is an attitude I wish more people would understand; Big Brother vs. Criminals ... I'll take criminals.

As someone else pointed out, why not use Chromium, upon which Chrome is based? Same thing, no Google integration.

Gotta be careful -- those Canadians will bring universal healthcare and cheaper drugs with them.

Damnit, she keeps saying sorry when she bumps into people ... damn Canadians. They don't even celebrate Thanksgiving properly.
Stop publicizing all these ridiculous closed chat systems. We have Jabber and IRC and SIP -- we don't need to support this craziness anymore.
The statement was that a device isn't reliable if it requires updates to be functional.
Please try to follow the statements you're flagging.
I've been quite happy with recent Samsung enterprise SSDs and some consumer Crucial (Micron) SSDs too. Different goals, different performance levels.
By which standard, Windows is almost 100% unreliable. No wonder I hate on it.
