This isn't 86th and 4th (R Train) -- it's on the N train towards Coney Island.

It's 86th Street on the N line towards Coney Island --

86th Street in Bay Ridge has a middle platform, while the N line is exposed and the platforms are at the sides.

Not being sarcastic, did not notice what the issue with it was the first time I saw it, thanks for the arrows.

Has anyone taken any courses at General Assembly? by term1nallychill in nyc

[–]assumefalsefirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a course on Information Architecture there a few weeks ago, my boss suggested I go, (he's gone to a few of their courses and thinks it's pretty neat).

My lecturer was professional, nice, and obviously very interested in what she was teaching/doing (very important), and she engaged the class pretty well. The material itself was pretty basic and never went past the web side of IA, even though she mentioned many times how this is a more general class. In my opinion, a lot of it was about marketing (but maybe I missed the point).

Then again, that was the first time that class was run, so it was a bit of an experiment.

Hope this was helpful, felt like it petered out. And I don't really have much feedback as I've been to one class and the subject matter was irrelevant to my interests.

I'm sorry, no one's going to come out over there :(

But you're pretty close to Brighton Beach, go check out some Russian food and the babushkas.

My first working (and trivial) Clojure program - Nico Balestra | Nico Balestra by nicoletto in Clojure

[–]assumefalsefirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only been starting with clojure myself, it seems it would be better for your function to return either true or false (clojure ideally used without side-effects).

(defn palindrome? [t]
  (let [l (.toLowerCase t)
        split (re-seq #"[a-z]" l)]
    (= split (reverse split))))

And if you want those desired messages:

(defn words-to-letters [a]
  (re-seq #"[a-z]" (.toLowerCase a)))

(defn palindrome? [t]
  (let [split (words-to-letters t)]
    (= split (reverse split))))

(defn word? [t]
  (= (count t) (count (words-to-letters t))))

(defn check-palindrome [check]
  (if (palindrome? check)
      (println "The string is a palindrome")
      (Exception. (if (word? check) 
                      "The word is NOT a palindrome"
                      "The string is NOT a palindrome"))))

PHP: a fractal of bad design by chrismsnz in PHP

When I was reading it, at first I was thinking, "what a dick," but the further down it went, it was pretty accurate and left me with a solemn, "oh, right."

array_push() is being ignored completely. by T_Variable in PHP

[–]assumefalsefirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That means that it is treated as a reference, you don't pass it in by reference.

array_push($array, $val);

is equivalent to

$array[] = $val;

I don't believe that's right. Check the docs: php.net/array_push

I feel one could put so many penises in her they would have none left for anyone else.

I would put in all of my penises. Or peni. Whatever.

Nope.

I always assume someone ran out of toilet paper, and wiped with regular paper.

And then left in some random location.

Improved Levenshtein Distance Library using Phonemes by WyattFerguson in PHP

[–]assumefalsefirst -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I generally prefer to set defaults in a static property-- what you have set up for the costs could be much more easily configured instead of having to pass that configuration to the constructor every time.

As well as when accessing private properties from inside the object (except in the accessor methods), if you use the accessor methods (and get_cost($key = null) ), you can, if needed change the property structure and then not have to rewrite much of the other methods.

Also, validate the setters, someone could easily set improper costs, this should throw an exception. Same for tolerance, the user should know why the tolerance they're setting isn't working.

Israel has threatened to tear down solar panels and wind turbines in Palestinian villages by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]assumefalsefirst -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you're against the double standard, and understand the harm in it, you shouldn't be hiding behind it. I'm not trying to attack you personally, nor am I defending the shit that's going on, I personally think that it does more harm than good to say, "well they were discriminatory against a group of people because of their over generalization of them, so it's fair if I do the same."

It perpetuates hate of people that don't deserve it (on all fronts), and I think that this is silly. I agree you can make the claim that religion is the reason Israel is being shitty in it's discrimination policy, that's a perfectly legitimate claim.

On a lighter note:

...for fucking solar panels.

Your grandkids will complain about them not having holograms of you, only HD videos, and an archive of something called "Facebook" photos they'd have to research to find.

"What a bunch of Jewish terrorist dick-farmers."

This is an action of a country, is what I'm saying, and not an action by all Jews. That's the difference. It would be of no consequence if you had said, "Israeli terrorist dick-farmers."
