You don't have to join "self-congratulatory ecstasy", but you also don't have to be a condescending dick.
Instead of making vague and shallow insults, you should try to politely explain what's wrong with OP's website.
In your 1-sentence insult, your main grudge seems to be that the website was made by a female. Your point might have been that women's work should receive equal praise (and criticism) as men's. But instead of discussing that (possibly valid) point, your sexist remark only feeds the fire (and makes you look like a dim-witted fool).
In a latter comment, your metaphor compares making social networks to gold rush. Again, possible valid point, burried behind a condescending sarcasm.
We shouldn't read between the lines to understand your point of view -- either make it POLITE and CLEAR or GTFO.
The main problem with "the spiral of learning" is the wasted energy required to switch tasks.
If I could just stick with one thing until I mastered it, I would be much more efficient. Trying to go back to things I haven't done in a while requires a long period of time for re-familiarization with material I already used to know.
The only good part about Macs is the UI. There used to be Mac clones made with commodity hardware, but they sold so well they threatened Apple's ridiculously inefficient margins.
Apple's supply chain isn't as bad now, but if all you want is a browser there's no reason to get it from them.
This is an interesting, albeit somewhat scary, application of Automaton Theory.
Scientists shouldn't be rushing with this kind of thing (research for sake of research), and we, as humanity, should carefully consider the implication of this kind of things.
I would think this is a failure of the client, which should support compression formats well enough to be able to fish around inside of the compressed file once it got the metadata portion (zip directory or whatever).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_%28file_format%29#Design: A directory is placed at the end of a .ZIP file. This identifies what files are in the .ZIP and identifies where in the .ZIP that file is located. This allows .ZIP readers to load the list of files without reading the entire .ZIP archive.
Most of the Lisp hackers are usually knowledgeable about analysis of algorithm complexity.
Alan Perlis comment talks about inefficiency of Lisp programs due to a lot of (meta) abstraction and indirect mapping of abstract software to hardware.
Admittedly, this particular case seems amenable to fairly straightforward algorithmic complexity analysis, but it seems to me that the lazy nature of Haskell seems to make it even harder to get a good grasp of costs involved than in a language like Lisp.
This is my rough understanding of what's going on:
Ukraine wants to increase cooperation with Europe, and possibly join EU. This would undermine it's relationship with Russia.
The previous Ukranian president, Viktor Yushchenko, usually sided with the West, and current president, Viktor Yanukovych, wants to preserve friendship with Russia.
Russia obviously doesn't want to lose allies, so it threatened to stop trading, and impose strict sanctions on Ukraine if they agreed to partnership with Europe.
Some Ukrainians dislike Yanukovych for siding with Russia instead of Europe, thus causing protests.
If you have more knowledge about this situation, feel free to correct me if I err.
You should also add that everybody wants to have well payed job. Question is "Which move would be better?". I think problem is that Ukrainians split in two roughly equal parts: pro-EU and pro-Russia (Yanukovych would not win recent election otherwise) and it's almost impossible to have consensus.
Yeah, any member of animal kingdom can rationally analyze situations and make logical decisions based on facts, but art, on the other hand, is unique to humans. </s>
