resemble

Eat like an Inuit and live in Florida and you'll probably resemble something more like a manatee than a man.

To me it's uncomfortable how much Google's tactics with Chrome resemble Microsoft's "embrace and extend" from the late 90s. They seem to want everyone to make Chrome apps, not web apps.

Having shipped many world class products, and none of the processes that build those products had any resemble of TDD in them. So, to all the pragmatists out there feel free to ignore the advice on the article.

I despised FB and was looking for for something that might actually resemble the tribe. net model of freedom and anonymity.

My business' schedule doesn't resemble that schedule even a little itty-bitty bit.

In my opinion, if you ever watch much anime -- Singapore is the city that will most closely resemble that which you see in anime. I love Singapore - the only thing I dont like is how freaking hot/humid it can get...

This results in a font that is sharper on screen, but is more jagged and doesn't resemble the print counterpart quite as well. MacOS on the other hand renders the font as it would for print - ignoring pixel boundaries - then antialiases that.

It might look like they're conscious but in fact it's only their actions that closely resemble those of conscious beings. The actions are obviously fully automatic because how could meat be conscious?

> I dream of the days when the Web truly does resemble SmallTalk. This would be more like a world with 5 different SmallTalk implementations, each slightly different, and all with a crappy/non-existant standard library and security model.

Articles about why anything you can do in a "simpler" text editor can and should be done in emacs strongly resemble articles about why anything you can do in a less powerful programming language can and should be done in Lisp. I don't think it's a concidence.

The "international community" is slowly coming to resemble a federated state, with one set of laws. But this community is not truly international.

Extra-judicial killing outside of war is as wrong as terror attacks, and as damaging for the parties involved, and eventually it comes to resemble terror itself.

It's not perfect, but it does allow for a great deal of social mobility where society would otherwise resemble something like plutocracy. After all these considerations, there's only a fraction of each year's class that they have for purely "merit" based acceptances.

I would very much like to use Stripe or Braintree or whoever there is who doesn't resemble the truly and sincerely Kafkaesque[1] experience of dealing with PayPal. But until I, as an Australian, can do business with foreigners in their currency then Stripe and the like are basically useless to me. All I can do is lick the windows.

The compromise I have often found is to reformat the intermediate steps in the form of control blocks that resemble a function definitions. The pseudocode below is not a great example because, to keep it brief, the control flow is so simple that it could have been just a chain of method calls on anonymous return values.

If I'm solving something inherently mathematical, I want the code to resemble math notation. If I'm writing some parsing code, I want it to resemble a grammar. If I'm writing an interpreter, I want it to resemble the operational semantics of the language.

Most homeschooling families I know, and I know hundreds all around the United States, resemble my open and free family life more than they resemble your caricature of some unknown anecdote you've encountered.

I never fail to be amazed when I see pages and pages of an inadequate homemade xml parser written in an inferior language or maybe a blizzard of regex, and then hearing bragging about how in Perl the elegant alternative language code would closely resemble line noise. No, in Perl, those pages and pages of buggy code would instead closely resemble one line: "use XML::Simple;" Repeat a zillion times over.

As for 2, many of these patterns have been designed for software that does not resemble web applications at all. Just to give a sense of how out-of-touch SV developers can be with regards to the software world at large, IBM, Oracle and SAP combined employ more people than Google, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn combined, ten times over; there are more Java developers in the world than the entire population of the entire Bay Area.

There's a whole load more: raising at least one generation with very little respect for anything, the rapid erosion of privacy, the paranoia of governments about anything that might even resemble a possible threat to national security like studying physics, chemistry or engineering, and the list goes on. But this is already a very long post so I won't go into any more areas in detail.

[2] Even though lineages are traceable in broad outlines by looking at human genes, there are quite a few human beings who resemble someone in someone else's group more than they resemble people in their own group." The fact that, given enough genetic data, individuals can be correctly assigned to their populations of origin is compatible with the observation that most human genetic variation is found within populations, not between them.

I don't think regulated monopolies are a good idea, but they're certainly a common solution when it comes to industries that resemble public infrastructure. Given that the taxi companies were granted monopolies as part of a larger regulatory regime, why are they "evil" for trying to enforce that privilege in the face of companies like Uber taking the high value routes out from under them, using techniques like surge pricing they aren't allowed to use?
