Also speaking slower gives the listener time to think about what you say.

Not even a single hit on bookfinder.com!

I don't think he can. As he says towards the end of the introduction: "One source of unease is that the fundamental distinctions are obscured, but not eliminated, in real programming languages."

Education, in the broadest sense, is what makes people think they want what they want.

One of my classmates in elementary school lived close to a closed factory. The backyard with lot of scrap was a wonderful adventurous playground. The city train station was further down the street and the trains passed just behind the fence furthest in the back. When someone heard a train approaching he would yell "Train's coming!". Whatever play would cease immediately and we all ran to pick up one of our poops on a stick and line up at the fence. Great was the joy when one of us hit a window.

Second link of yours doesn't work for me.

I have at least a few Post-it notes in every book. Some sitting there for thirty years or more. Never experienced any problem. Always used the real Post-it from 3M.

"Fictional narrative: Fictionality is most commonly cited as distinguishing novels from historiography. However this can be a problematic criterion. ... Several novels, for example Ông cố vấn written by Hữu Mai, were designed to be and defined as a "non-fiction" novel which purposefully recorded historical facts in the form of a novel.":

Could be an autobiography.

Thank you for the plus hint. Very nice. Worth the price.

If there's will and ability to pay back.

"BNF was created by Naur," and "the guy who invented FORTRAN"

More water in seas does not mean that sea level will rise evenly everywhere. I've heard that the relocation of water masses will in fact make sea level lower somewhere. Also landmasses will rise and sink. Are there any serious calculations of the details?

> I built a 128KB memory board with bank selection logic then wrote a driver for the Flex OS (6809) to make that memory appear like a disk.

Oy! I could have written exactly that. What a coincidence :-) I also wouldn't claim invention. Maybe I heard of it, but I'd say the idea is pretty obvious. We made it possible for Flex to run to programs simultaneously and also do print spooling. (That's when I bought an HP 16C. Great help. Still have it.)

For some interpretation of "low".

Even moderators need some time off.

And THE THE thing thing is bad teaching. If you fail to establish a sound basis of the language used to convey meaning the outcome is doomed to be miserable.

> Reverse Polish Notation: The expression ( x − 2 ) ( x − 1 ) would be written instead × − x 2 − x 1 , or something like that.

This is not reverse Polish notation.

It's Polish notation; parentheses free prefix notation.

The reverse would be x 2 － x 1 － ×.

What do you mean by "on their own"? I would bet that the first human uttering that sentence had several observations of cats in the dark in their training set.

Artificial Ingestion?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure Algol (1958) had full structured programming.

Both switches should be turned 90 degrees and move horizontally.

The percentage of employed unproductive is way higher.

Many thinks traumas in adult life are linked to childhood addition.

There are no additional pulses. Only minute pulses. It's a motor driving the second hand. The motor starts by the minute pulse and stops itself when reaching the top.

Also gratifying to ponder what makes a yoga ball fly upwards that high just from someone falling off. Never seen anything like that.
