  1. Slideshare fills me with rage.
  2. @t_a_w I've been attempting to get into OCaml recently and the lack of polymorphic print has definitely annoyed me already.
  3. @ealdent Only so far. I didn't notice anything terribly secretive in the diving tank. :-)
  4. @lastcraft The wording was a bit stronger than "subject to", but I don't remember the details. At any rate I was there legitimately
  5. There's something awfully intimidating about entering a place with a sign saying "trespassers will be subject to the official secrets act"
  6. Four hours on the train, three hours in the water. This is a recipe for a VERY tired David.
  7. Having to get up before 7 on a saturday definitely counts as cruel and unusual punishment.
  8. @t_a_w "distinct a, b, c" isn't exactly verbose.
  9. @sigfpe That post is a great example of applying cunning techniques to solve entirely the wrong problem. http://bit.ly/oIUBu
  10. @Synesso Maybe. The oddity is sometimes enjoyable, sometimes just odd, and I'm not sure it makes up for the deficiencies.
  11. Farscape is such an odd series.
  12. @bhurt42 oh, right, the "look how much worse things would be without you" episode.
  13. @bhurt42 Hm. What's the It's a Wonderful Life one? Good point about groundhog day. Had forgotten that one!
  14. @tkb body swap is one. "You're really crazy and in hospital oops it's a trick" another. Too many to enumerate in a tweet.
  15. There seems to be a set of about 10 standard episodes that every sci fi TV series feels the need to do. They're very tiresome.
  16. @ijuma Ah, interesting.
  17. @ijuma Which is really just a way of boxing method references into objects, no support for anonymous function creation.
  18. @ijuma No, I was just going on the basis of FCM.
  19. @ijuma So it probably doesn't really provide much motivation for sun to improve optimisations for those cases.
  20. @ijuma Given that the "closures" being proposed have no form of anonymous or local function it's not very useful for things like foreach
