Beyond being the first wiki wiki and the model for Wikipedia, the Portland Pattern Repository was a place where many of the principles of Agile software development were hashed out through discussion of the leading members of that movement. It was closer to the discussion pages of Wikipedia, where someone would write on a topic, and another would add more dimension or a counterpoint to what was written. Instead of creating a page of what, say, Extreme Programming was, pages full of discussion of how it was implemented on site or how it could be improved were generated; when it became too large, someone might refactor that page into several different pages, such as XP Principles, XP Practices, XP implementations, and so on.

It's Bentley's _Programming pearls_ column from the _Communications of the ACM_, which was collected into a series of books, such as _Programming Pearls_ and _More Programming Pearls_, where you probably saw it.

The only subreddits in my experience that approach this "professional," disinterested standard of moderation are /r/askscience and /r/askhistorians. I know AH has a huge team devoted to enforcing their rules, and it's off-putting to newcomers from other subs but absolutely makes AH what it is. AS takes more of an unapologetic scorched earth approach to keeping focus on relevant discussion.

I'll piggyback on your comment to add another functional version of C to the discussion, Single Assignment C.

Not who you were asking, but it's pretty much steeping coarse coffee grounds and cold water in a cup overnight, then filter out the grounds, sort of like cold sun tea. In New Orleans toss in some chicory.

I use the Toddy, which steeps 12oz grounds in 56 fl oz of water, drained through a fuzzy fabric filtering puck; the extract can be refrigerated and diluted with hot water or cold milk.

There are smaller CoffeeSocks (cloth filters) if you don't want to have a carafe of extract in your fridge for two weeks.

The code at that location in the Ethereum blockchain implements a Decentralized Autonomous Organization that takes Ether from participants in exchange for tokens granting them the right to vote on proposals for this specific DAO to fund and the right to receive any benefits from the execution of funded proposals.

This is the primer to the how it is supposed to work: https://blog.slock.it/a-primer-to-the-decentralized-autonomo...

Here is how it was attacked: http://vessenes.com/deconstructing-thedao-attack-a-brief-cod...

Not a lawyer, but a contract requires that all parties must gain some consideration for their entry into the contract. That the blockchain enforces the proposer's "smart contract" without giving material return to the token-holders means that the proposer's claim is unenforceable in a real-life court. No consideration, no (real-world) contract, no breach if some consensus fork emerges.

I like extended figures, but also sumptuous language and formal rigor. Ah heck, I love each poet for their own quirks and idiosyncrasies. Stephen Dobyns. John Bricuth. Wallace Stevens. Weldon Kees.

Shakespeare. Donne. Marvell.

Does this have anything with the old ios game by Frank Li and Jason Ma?

These products or services are not guaranteed by Kickstarter or Kickstartees though, so we backers aren't paying for a product alone. In many cases, the value of the product is not commensurate with the money paid. Notch certainly didn't get his $10000 worth from getting a kit and meeting Carmack—he could have picked up a kit after the campaign and met Carmack at GDC or Quakecon or wherever. It's more akin to donating $100 to PBS and getting a tote bag and a $70 tax write-off, without the write-off. As others have said, it's a charitable donation to a cool project from which backers could possibly get some benefits.

From what I recall post-9/11, the FBI do not carry badges, but written identification, like a large social security card.

Coffee in other places is expensive precisely because the price is a stand-in for table-space and queuing rent. The cafe charges for the opportunity cost of someone peeking in seeing the line too long or the tables too full and running out. Same thing with corkage charges—wine-drinkers longer longer.

The person who runs into a place like this, grabs food and a latte, and runs out is not doin them economic harm.

> In ancient versions of R from the early 2000s, the underscore operator was synonymous for '<-', aka assignment.

Huh, early Smalltalk mapped the left arrow to the underscore key; I'm not sure if Squeak and Pharo still do it, though.

Does it? I typed in http://webdevchecklist.com/robots.txt and it gave me a bog-standard IIS 404 page, not a custom one.

Once Google has the patents to start injunctions and stoppages, they can get their competitors to the table. That's not nuclear war.

Google is a young company, but it's been in the phone industry at least since it bought Android in 2005. Apple created its iPhone and released it in 2007, so in the phone industry, Google's the senior.

No one has a right to billions of quarterly profits, but no one has a right to violate others' intellectual property, either. Apple and Microsoft are profiting at these levels despite the infringement of other companies.
