I'm not selectively labelling failed experiments. I'm not even talking about experiments. I'm talking about his theoretical writings which assert properties based on metals having souls or on interpretations of Greek mythology.
What the Slashdot summary doesn't say (and a lot of commenters on meta.stackexchange.com also didn't really take into account) is that this licensing change affects not only StackOverflow but the whole StackExchange network, including sites like Code Review and Programming Puzzles and Code Golf where people do post substantial blocks of code over which they wish to assert their moral rights.
The objection is not to citing others when you use their code: the objection is to the way Stack Exchange is requiring you to license your code. The most repeated theme of the criticism is "If you're going to change licence, change to a proper one rather than a kludgy homebrew variant which allows people to just copy the code, add a URL, and call it attribution".
I take it you also think it's a "fucking disgrace" that the organisation which trained Osama in guerilla tactics continues to receive funding from the US government? The CIA is a much bigger problem (and better recruiter for jihadist terrorists) than Al Jazeera.
I can't remember which open source project it was that I once tried to compile, but discovered that the README was correct when it said that it wouldn't compile with make. Instead I was instructed to use a make tool by the same author as the project I wanted to compile. So I downloaded the source for that make tool, and discovered that to compile it I needed a compiled version of the make tool. The bootstrap issue is not a problem for closed source projects where you'll always have the previous iteration's binary around, but if there's a remote possibility that in the future you'll want to open-source the compiler it becomes a serious issue.
With much more precision than most people would expect, to the extent that there are possibly applications in, for example, automatic response to ambushes before anyone radios in for help.
On the subject of hypocrisy, I think that the locals are rather of the opinion that Trump's golf course has already "destroy[ed] the bucolic Aberdeen Bay".
There are a lot of OEIS entries which have programs in Mathematica but not in other languages.
One of the projects on my TODO list is to try to port the OEIS Superseeker from its current mix of C, Fortran, Perl, sh, ksh, Maple, and Mathematica to Sage. Having a way to run the original Mathematica components could be rather useful for checking that their ports work and that I haven't misunderstood something.
I'm fairly active on a code golf site which has Mathematica participants. It would be nice to be able to test their programs locally.
On the subject of software, the rPi also comes with free (but licensed) Mathematica. Might not interest many people, but for me the idea of essentially treating it as a symbolic algebra coprocessor (via ssh) is the thing which is tempting me most towards getting a Zero.
From a modern language I'd expect... basically all dynamic and static features of past languages
Learn a lesson from C++: if you throw in everything and the kitchen sink then every programmer will know a different proper subset of the language, and maintenance will be a bitch.
They can't have paid that much, given that they didn't manage to not insert an unwanted space in the word "decryptor". (Unless that was added by the "editor", of course).
Speaking as a former student: what's a textbook? Ok, I exaggerate slightly for effect: one of the many lecture courses that I took in my degree was taught from a textbook, although in that case it was written by the lecturer and she handed out photocopies of the relevant chapters. All of the other courses were taught from the lecturer's own notes. The idea that lecture courses should be taught from a textbook is part of a specific university culture, not a universally accepted notion.
The reason they've always given is that some of the stuff they broadcast is third party content for which they've only bought the rights to distribute within the UK. Apparently it's too much effort to set up a system whereby they classify content as "OK to distribute worldwide" vs "UK-only" and allow foreigners and ex-pats to watch the former category.

Some of Newton's work on alchemy does belong in the pseudoscience bin.
Then there's creative procrastination. That's when, to put off making that phone call you're dreading, you do the dishes instead.

Are you agreeing or disagreeing with GPP?

"the first-ever predicted supernova explosion" certainly sounds that way. The subsequent mention of reappearance mainly serves to confuse.

My word, these Sir Ian refugees get everywhere. Even Middle Earth, you say?

Don't forget the Blackberry.
And the US still has bases in the UK from WWII.
It used to be the same Save dialog. Then they changed it, so now Save is .xcf and anything else requires Export.
The trick is to use golang as your search term instead of go.

You've got some flaming fuel on your back, so you can always make it worse...
I suspect that GP typoed U+1F5FE (SILHOUETTE OF JAPAN).

It may be a good year, but just look at the terroir.
