Betfair is the biggest one.

Ah, now I see it and it makes sense.

The answer to the code review question is obvious. I didn't see the error even though I was told what happens.

I don't understand the example. Why would it do that and not unlock after foo()?

Well, we are talking about Finland.

http://www.stat.fi/tup/suoluk/suoluk_asuminen_en.html

By the latest numbers there are 1 266 000 residential buildings in Finland, housing 1 581 000 saunas. But of course other buildings also have saunas, so in total there are more than 2 million saunas.

There are 5 451 270 people in Finland.

I'd say a lot of people have access to saunas.

I think it's just normal tokenizing. `..-` is a legal name for an operator. An error is given since no operator of that name is in scope.

The alternative of this getting parsed as a range operator and a negative number now and changing to an application of `..-` if that is ever defined or imported doesn't sound very good...

You might already be familiar with it, but this looks a lot like QML.

Maybe it is because you didn't show an example, but that doesn't seem like something caused by lazy evaluation. It is pretty easy to get into infinite loops due to logic errors in Project Euler type problems even when using imperative loops.

I think she was implying that college-dropouts that build software projects can afford to buy Teslas without understanding math.

You read the comment backwards. It was saying exactly that nullability of the argument is something that can be guaranteed by a type system but you can't write a test that makes sure of it.

I think spam was exactly the problem.

It's a shame and seems to really hurt. There's a lot of outdated information in the wiki and I suspect the obstacle to making fixes is a big contributor.

On the US keyboard it probably is. On Finnish keyboard it's where < is on the US one, i.e. Shift-comma.

That is true, but isn't it only revealing the problem that correct interpretation is not conveyed, not causing it? If it wasn't possible to reply, the same people would still hold the misinterpretation, but then the author wouldn't see it.

Communication is hard.

They (and Schneier) were talking about symmetric encryption, which does not rely on the things quantum computing is going to affect.

The best part of it is having Gmail on Android notify you only about important messages. It's great to get notifications about emails from friends about things going on tonight, but not get bothered by email list messages that can wait.

There's a difference between collecting the maximum amount of stones and collecting more stones than the opponent. I suspect the winning program also tries to minimize the stones the opponent will be able to collect, thus preserving its marginal advantage.

Edit: Apparently colanderman beat me to it.

Another fact to contrast the magnitude is the fact than in 2009 there was a total of 31 homicides in Norway. This attack produced more than two years of homicide victims.

I suspect all of the mentioned services rely on a lot of academic research on many "science and technology" topics.

>In many of the discussions about people giving up "TV," it turned out that many just turned off their cable and consumed video through Hulu, Netflix and other online sources.

So you mean they've been superseded by more addictive technologies? :)
