I agree. I am also just as disturbed that Obama and Hillary are both pushing the "eliminate a Constitutionally-enumerated right without due process" idea. At least with Trump, the Republican Party is actively opposing his nomination. With Hillary, however,...
If they're offshoots, then they aren't contained. That's like saying that a bunch of kudzu is contained because only the offshoots have taken over the next yard.
Well, once you add in the ability to use a dict object (which he did for his "correct" solution), then you've gone beyond the traditional capability of pseudo-code.
Right. Sorry, I didn't quite explain. I had the line break part figured out, but I couldn't put the proper indentation in with a non-breaking space. So, if I'd written the def as two lines, it wouldn't be proper Python code. The one-line version is proper, however.
The author used Python for his example and suggested using a Dict to solve the first problem, so presumably we have the Standard Python Library at our disposal:
from collections import Counter
def get_mode(nums): return Counter(nums).most_common(1)
This will give the mode and the count. I don't think the author's solution (14 lines) would get you the job!
Normally, I wouldn't make it one line, but the Slashdot Editor Window doesn't seem to support a proper code block and also doesn't support non-breakings spaces.
That's okay - I'm talking about what Lessig should do now in order to promote his agenda. Also, I doubt that a radio interview would hardly qualify as candidate debate, since there would only be one candidate present.
I bring this up occasionally -- get on the Michael Medved Radio Show. Medved is a nationally-syndicated, conservative, radio talk show host who invites debate and frequently has guests with opposing viewpoints. He is very polite to his guests and callers, so Lessig would definitely be allowed to make his points. This is an area of frequent discussion on the Medved show, so I'm sure that he'd be interested in having Lessig as a guest.
True story - my brother and I were at a financial services institution to take care of my mother's accounts when her Alzheimer's took over. So, he's creating a password and the system wouldn't take it -- it kept giving an obvious database error (not something that would normally be shown to an end-user). He showed me what he was typing and it contained a single-quote, something like "Mom's account". I told him to take out the single quote and it was happy.
I insisted that the representative get their developers on the phone, immediately, which she did, and then I had her relay my concerns about their obviously vulnerable design.
I've always heard that, in war, it's often more effective to wound than to kill, as more resources are expended to deal with a wounded soldier. In the age of jihad, perhaps this is no longer true.
Well, this has fixed at least ten programs for me and I haven't experienced a program being "too small". I just resize the window - every program that I use accommodates window resizing.
I think I can help with this one. Open the properties dialog for the executable (or shortcut) of that program. Click on the Compatibility tab and check the box for "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".
That's odd. I always thought the quote was from the book "The Eudaemonic Pie" (the true story of the MIT group beating the casinos at roulette), in which there actually was a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway. I suppose the author could have just reused the quote, but it seems like a pretty big coincidence.
I just watched this tonight with a lady friend. I was bored enough to browse/. on my phone for a little while. Then she grabbed my hand and whispered that I'm supposed to be watching the movie.
Wow - you just casually admit to this? For the sake of others, please never do this again. There's a reason that theaters run the little public service announcements about turning off your phone before the movie. This should be a standard question on a test designed to identify sociopaths: "If you bored while watching a movie in a theater, do you a) suffer silently, b) leave the theater, or c) ignore the rest of the people in the theater that have paid to watch the movie and pull out your phone."
"If Mars is equally lifeless, that will make exploring--and later settling--the planet much easier. We can go there and return without this particular worry, and we can introduce Earth life without concerns that we'll damage indigenous creatures. Astronauts won't have to be quarantined, and the environmental impact statement, or its interplanetary equivalent, will be easier to determine. On the other hand, if there is life on Mars, things get a lot tougher."
This supports two external monitors. The tablet acts as a third monitor. You can actually support two without the hub, but that would entail plugging in a connector every time I return to the office.
With an 8-GB RAM, and 512 GB storage model, I can pretty much duplicate my current laptop and docking station. http://www.amazon.com/Microsof...
I've been rather pleased with this setup. When I go to meetings, I just grab the tablet and go. Performance is good
This is just a rewording of the old saw that illegal immigrants are doing the jobs that Americans won't do -- at salaries that are too low. If the flow of H1-Bs dried up, then wages would rise as the American tech workers would become more valuable. As wages rose, then becoming a tech worker would be viewed more favorably.
With the same evidence, Huff Po could have argued that H1-Bs are depressing wages for American tech workers.
This is hilarious. Projecting the results from a cradle-to-grave communist all-controlling government onto a theoretical libertarian society, when the two philosophies are polar opposites.
Perhaps you should be warning against a continuance of US big-government statism, instead, as the elimination of private property rights contributed heavily to the problems in China.
It would be beyond nice if LibreOffice could eventually be ported to Qt.
I assume that a large part of the codebase is still responsible for the platform-independent UI that stated with StarOffice. Removing that responsibility from the LibreOffice team might eventually payoff in improving the look-and-feel and freeing resources for feature enhancements.

But, but, ... that's racist!

What do you mean when you say it doesn't support non-breaking spaces? Just wrap it in a code tag and it works fine.

Aha - the non-breaking space has to be followed by a space, for it to be recognized! That's certainly weird.

Probably the same guy that's been injecting absurd Republican bashing into every story. Just trollin'.

Exactly! Why are they messing with this, when we already know that the arc reactor works?

Here's hoping something like Tardigrades evolved on Mars too, if so, they'd probably still be revivable today even after a couple billion years.

I have the Surface Pro 3 as my primary desktop system. This is the note that I sent to our computer support staff when I specced-out what I wanted:
Surface Pro 3 does indeed have a docking station (looks pretty complete):
http://www.amazon.com/Microsof...
With this device, I can replicate my current office setup:
DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Stream Transport (MST) hub
Here’s a link for one model:

Not a paid shill!

For future reference, the commonly-used phrase is "That fateful year ...."

Nothing to explain. Just somebody trying to create a meme and failing.
