Your latest comic sucks. Please stop making tear-jerking pseudo-romance strips and make actually funny comics, like two years ago.

You don't have to read them if you don't want to. There's plenty of people who enjoy them as they are. Now excuse me as I have to get back to today's groupie. She can't get enough of Little Randall.

Having read only parts of SICP but appreciated the information I got, I think that criticism is unfair. The author talks about a SICP written in another language being better than the current SICP, and somehow appears to use this as an argument against SICPs quality. Or rather, that is what your post implied.
It is like telling a good sportsman that he's not a good sportsman because the spor he excells in is not as interesting as basketball.
XKCD wouldn't be nearly as annoying if people didn't bring it up at every available opportunity.

I thought the latest one was all right. Not everything is about programming. XKCD is [strong]a webcomic of romance,
sarcasm, math, and language.[/strong]

And people wouldn't bring it up at every available opportunity if it wasn't annoying.

I'd settle for them only bringing up the few good ones he does as opposed to every single one.

Overall Twitterific was very stable and has not crashed in the last 3 days that we have been using it. There has been periodic loss of connection but we are not sure if that is due to the Twitter service, Twitterific or our Internet connection.

so what if i make comments on youtube?
i like to give the video's author some constructive feedback and have some intellectual discussion with my peers

what is you're point?
/b/ and anonymous are the kings on the internet, the shining beacons of light & hope in an internet full of USENET and gaia faggotry.

Yeah, one of the biggest turnoffs for me regarding the random imageboard is that they tend not to really think about the process and organization of maturation. Matz is the author of Ruby.

Well, that's how things were. If you stayed anonymous in those days you were considered a coward and would be subsequently ridiculed for it. Funny how it's quite the opposite here.

The difference is that most people actually used their IRL names, which is a good thing.

What is an O(n log2n) barrier for a search function? It only makes sense for sort functions that only compare and assign internally (there is a short proof of that involving construction of a search tree of size n!).
Randall didn't do his algorithms homework. How shameful.
Read SICP, Randall.

Indeed. A binary search has worst time complexity of log(n), with Grover's quantum algorithm taking sqrt(n) for an unsorted array of n items. This randall person reminds me of a first year computer science undergrad, at best.
goddamnit, /prog/.
i was bored so i decided to visit a board i don't usually frequent, i visited /tg/. this was the top thread on the first page:
>what are your favorite web comics fa/tg/uys and what makes em good. pic related my number 1: xkcd

That log(n) is for a sorted array. You could say that binary search requires O(sort) + O(search) ~= O(nlog(n))
Grover's algorithm operates in O(sqrt(n)) on an unsorted array.

Stephen Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd and 24th President of the United States.
>>61 ``Principia Discordia'': POEE subscribes to the Law of Fives of Omar’s sect. And POEE also
recognizes the Holy 23 (2+3=5) that is incorporated by Episkopos Dr.
Mordecai Malignatius, KNS, into his Discordian sect, The Ancient
Illuminated Seers of Bavaria.
It is also used a lot in ``Illuminatus!'', but Xarn doesn't like it so it is probably unscientific.

Too bad that The Schroedinger's Cat Trilogy was better, with less of that political/economy/philosophy shit, and more physics.

The substructure of the universe regresses infinitely towards smaller and smaller components. Behind atoms we find electrons, and behind electrons, quarks. Each layer unraveled reveals new secrets, but also new mysteries.

An untrained monkey. Seeing that monkeys have no higher emotions, we could enjoy a science webcomic not polluted by references to rand(all)'s love affairs.
