    We shouldn't be using that shit at all. Contrary to what big agribusiness preaches, it is possible to grow food without chemical fertilizers or -icides.

    It only helps America if you define America as the capitalist exploitation machine.

    Bingo. This is why we fail. We train people and give them the idea that technology is static and their skill will last them a lifetime. We should have subsidized programs in place to retrain every 10 years so that our workforce can adapt to emerging technology.

    Reason #238 why this is a stupid and terrible idea.

  8. The problem is they could post something, say "Look you're a terrorist" and send you back to your originating country. By the time you've figured it all out, you're 3000 miles away in a foreign land and nothing you can do. This is RIPE for abuse and I can't believe any court would find this legal.

    Yeah, just like how there's no automobile jobs now that everyone has a car.

    Well, eat whatever you want, but colon cancer is the 3rd most prevalent cancer in America and can go undetected for a long time, easily into stage 3 or 4. Don't say I didn't warn you.

    That's fine if it suits your needs, but to write robust and reusable code you avoid imposing limits like that if possible. Remember Y2K?

  15. Re: Doing it wrong? on Developer Argues For 'Forgotten Code Constructs' Like GOTO and Eval (techbeacon.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not difficult at all. You just push nodes into a queue instead of using the system stack. Every iteration on the queue processes that set and possibly adds more nodes to the queue. Rinse and repeat. Recursion is a terrible solution to that problem because you've just limited the size of the trees that you can process.

    Recursion is undesirable because it doesn't scale - you run out of stack pretty quickly. There isn't really ever any need for recursion anyway as there's nothing you can do recursively that you can't do non-recursively.

    Yeah, destruction. What, you think we're improving the planet?
    We almost killed the ozone layer, we've driven countless species to extinction, we're destroying the rainforests, the oceans have literally 50% of the fish they did since the 1970's, we pollute the air, we pollute the water, we pollute the soil, we're heating the planet and fucking up countless ecosystems, etc.. etc..
    You don't think that's destruction of our habitat?
