in Detox to Retox on tl;dr
Clearly you're not the only one who sees the connection!

What makes that movie even more amazing is this bit from the book, which was written years before the movie came out: "Some people say they're sure to make a movie about this. If so, I'd like to see Julia Roberts play me. Or that actress that just got married to Tom Cruise in real life - I can't think of her name."

That's precisely why I stopped taking pictures a couple of years ago - I don't want to be stuck behind a camera instead of enjoying things.

And if you'll forgive the irony of recommending a movie on the subject: To Die For does a nice job of playing with the idea that things are only worth doing if someone's watching. (It also features Nicole Kidman's best performance.)

in Dominic Sayers - About on Dominic Sayers website
Regarding Email address validation, a commonly cited reference for validation using regular expressions is the following:
http://www.regular-expressions.info/email.html

While many of the regex's there are intentionally not validating to the actual spec, the page does present one regular expression for validating to RFC specifications (though it mentions the obsoleted RFC2822). It might be useful to include this regex in your list (maybe it'll incent the maintainer of that URL to update if there are any failures found in your test suite!).

(?:[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*|"(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21\x23-\x5b\x5d-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])*")@(?:(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?|\[(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?|[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21-\x5a\x53-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])+)\])

Regards,
Anonomyous

Dominic Sayers Yes, there might be some value in demonstrating the limitations of a regex in fully implementing the RFCs. I'll try to find the most comprehensive one and add it to the list of validators.

in Astrails Clicktale + Rails = Better Usability on Astrails - Hi End Web Technology
Awesome plugin!

I don't wanna sound like a dick but could we replicate Clicktale's JS functionality as well so all the data captured resides on our own servers? I have an issue with giving my users' browsing habits to a third-party site.
1 reply
taasaa You welcome to replicate their service. I would assume that it's not that easy, they work on it for couple of years now.

I don't know much about the inner works of clicktale service, just made an integration of their stuff into rails.

in Freelancers are not free on Behind the clock
If only more employers (esp. at big companies) would consider treating employees that way! Let us use our own computers, our own favorite chairs, don't micromanage us, don't waste money on a dumb "Christmas party" that we don't want to attend anyway, and let us set our own schedules. Yet strangely even though these would make us cheaper and more efficient, they never get considered.

"“Star Destroyer”: not used until The Empire Strikes Back"

Not surprising, since its only use in ANH was the one seen in the first 10 seconds.

"Terms neither spoken in dialogue nor used in script: ... AT-AT"

In my defense, I believe "AT-AT" was used on the back of the VHS box.

in Ruby-style Blocks in Python on Asktav
When reading your code the first 5 times, I was confused by "return" meaning "return from this block", not "return from this def", which it means everywhere else in Python (and also Ruby).

I think for this to work well, you really need to first have Python return the last value of a block, like Ruby and Lisp do. (Or you could disambiguate by adding a RETURN-FROM form like Lisp has, but that I *really* can't imagine ever being adopted in Python!) Then you need to retrofit values to statements (like "if"), and that's a can of worms Guido doesn't seem likely to ever want to reopen.

It also seems to go counter to Python's "one way to do things" mantra.

I'm not saying it's a bad feature idea. (I'm a Lisp programmer and we're not even happy with Perl's 27 ways to do it. We need access to the machine shop so we can build a new language from scratch ourselves.) I just don't see it being very Pythonic on its own, or being very Pythonic with respect to other features, or resulting in more Pythonic code to be written. It's really more of a cultural change than a syntactic one.

in System.Shell.CommandLine does not belong in System.Core - Miguel de Icaza on Miguel de Icaza's blog
Miguel, didn't you know from the start that you would end up in a situation like this, when you decided to clone dotNET? Of course you are right about the API being ugly, but I'm surprised by your reaction here. You decided a long time ago to drink the microsoft cool aid without being allowed any say in it.

CVertex Reaction? His reaction is the exact type of criticism MS needs (and probably wants) to hear.
migueldeicaza's picture
migueldeicaza You do not seem to know much about Mono or how it is developed.

We are free to do whatever we want and have for years created extensions to .NET. Sometimes these extensions work on both Mono and .NET (most of the Mono.* assemblies, Gtk#) sometimes they are Linux/OSX/Platform specific (Mono.Posix, all the Cocoa/Carbon APIs, GnomeSharp, Dbus, etc).

Some of our extensions are Mono VM-specific, and we resort to those when it is not possible to bring the feature in another form, like our SIMD support or VM code injection.

You are only "surprised" because you have not read this blog in the past and your knowledge of Mono is razor-thin.

I am the opposite, the skinny nerd, I'm under weight but health is still a problem and you are correct about all the other benefits of regular exercise. I used to commute by bus/train and walk to work and I had a lot more energy than when I was/am working from home, just walking around getting fresh air will clear your head and help in all sorts of ways, but its still a struggle to drag myself out the door when I do not strictly have to.

You can indeed get stabbed, repeatedly even, and not know it until long after the fact. Don't let the lack of a hollywood KAPOW make you think that the person(s) stabbed is too manly, cowardly, thinking it over, whatever, to be treated or otherwise report it.

in The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: Speaking Truth To Test Scores on The Harvard Crimson
This article makes the unstated assumptions that SAT scores are comparable to IQ scores, that IQ scores are an accurate measure of intelligence and intelligence only, and that intelligence is wholly the product of genetics. Since none of these assumptions hold, each paragraph is a non sequitur from the previous.

Perhaps the writer is a member of an educational elite who needs to surmise the existence of members of the "lower socioeconomic classes" at this institution. What a smug, false distinction between "we" and "they."
1 reply
Anonymous2 I would dispute the above anonymous's claims and urge him to look up the following:
A) The degree to which SAT scores correlate well with IQ scores.
B) The degree to which IQ scores correlate well with educational and professional achievement (look up the average IQ of doctors, lawyers, and scientists).
C) The degree to which IQ seems to be hereditary (Hint: ~50%)
I would also urge him to look surmise up in a dictionary. It doesn't mean what he thinks it means.
