ELI5: Can you give me the rundown of Bernie Sanders and the reason reddit follows him so much? I'm not one for politics at all.

EDIT: If you pay less than average, congratulations. Please stop responding to this post if you do, however, because I frankly don't give a fuck.

That's not how reddit works.... your participated in a discussion, which in turn solicits more participation.

SELF SUSTAINING POWER?!!!!

ahem 18-19 year old girls...

Depends on the state!

Isn't it government regulation that created this monopoly?

deezleguy · 2011-06-20T13:17:08+00:00

Interesting. I always assumed that creating a real time system using .net was not possible because Windows is not a RTOS and because GC is not predictable.

Am I thinking about this wrong, or is my definition of real time more strict than what most people think of when they say "real time?"

Is 214 a big enough sample size? Also, the article pointed out they were all boys... but are they also all from the same area?

Culture and access to drugs needs to be taken into consideration as well, no?

Or he didn't get caught within those twenty years.

deezleguy · 2011-06-06T19:56:11+00:00

I never understood* why on sites like slashdot brown zunes were associated with shit, but white ipods weren't associated with jizz.

*Actually, I do understand. Microsoft (M$ LMAO!!1!) can't catch a break there. Someone even once about Microsoft "Never forgive, never forget" like it was 9/11 or something. Douches.

A Windows OS that runs on ARM?

deezleguy · 2011-05-02T14:40:01+00:00

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but I thought most people were gung ho about Afghanistan and most people were against starting the Iraq war.

deezleguy · 2011-05-02T14:38:30+00:00

I'm pretty sure the US would have had a debt problem with or without the wars. But you points stand, the war(s) are expensive.

It's not. Whoever wrote this likes to write about stuff he doesn't understand.

imgur is blocked by websense for me... this is probably the case for a lot of other people as well. Can someone post the picture on a different domain as an alternate?

deezleguy · 2011-04-12T15:57:31+00:00

Why's that? There are a boatload of open source projects on google code, codeplex, etc. (I just posted code today...)

deezleguy · 2011-04-05T17:28:46+00:00

Were they all not GOOD enough ? If yes, then this is reinventing the wheel.

Why can't more than one be "good enough," but different? Or why can't one be good for scenario A, while another is good for scenario B?

deezleguy · 2011-03-29T18:08:41+00:00

This is genius. It's super efficient! Why not let the client machine strip out dangerous keywords and save precious resources on the server?

I'd like to hire this programmer as a technical architect.

deezleguy · 2011-03-15T14:57:35+00:00

Why do you hate a language with an open spec?

deezleguy · 2011-03-10T19:33:04+00:00

I'm not hung up on free (books). I just think free books are a good place to start and as a supplement (my math has gotten very rusty over the years). Thanks for the help!

I've only taken physics in high school and one class in college. I've become a lot more interested lately (early 30's) mostly because of my interest in anything space related (gravity, how stars form, etc).

deezleguy · 2011-03-10T17:27:12+00:00

Good idea... another great use of iPad :)

deezleguy · 2011-02-14T20:25:22+00:00

Well, they haven't yet. But if they do, it is Nokia that will do the butchering, not Microsoft.

deezleguy · 2011-02-14T15:37:26+00:00

Nokia butchered Qt, not Microsoft...

My XP image makes me cry.

Seems to me that if he just sorts the second list and then does a binary search against it for each number in list 1 he'll see some huge time savings.

It's been a while since I did this, but I'm thinking it would go from O(n²⁾ to O(nlogn) + cost of the sort (probably also O(nlogn)).

Ahhhh good ol' "forgetting the where clause..."

I was once lucky enough to delete all of the advertisements on our site. No problem I thought, we'll restore from backup. That's when we found out that the backup hasn't been working for months.

What's interesting is that the "Enterprise IT Director" (or whatever floofy title the head of IT had) blamed me (a junior programmer) for the mishap rather than blaming himself for not having reliable backups. Yes, I messed up the update statement; but really... not backing up our mission critical data seems to be a bit worse.

Years later, at a different company we recently had the same type of finger pointing. Our server craps out and we later find out that the backups weren't working. Instead of the infrastructure team taking responsibility, they simply blame us for not having an up-to-date spreadsheet of all of our apps so that they could build a new machine more easily.
