Just a student exploring the world of programming, specifically iPhone development. I have some experience with Java, C, and C++, and am currently learning HTML, CSS, PHP, and Ruby.

Check out some of my projects on Github or my Coderwall page.


If you're interested in Machine Learning, commit to it in Area 51! It's a site for students and researchers in the field of machine learning. It's some pretty dense stuff, but really interesting.

Same with Classical Languages like Latin and Greek. It's a site for teachers, students, and hobbyists in the classical languages.



Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

@Kris - Could you elaborate? I for my part cannot discern a difference in meaning between the two.

comment Semantic difference between “if I did not want” and “if I wanted”
I noticed that someone voted to close this as it is "Not a real question". Just to reiterate, the question is "Are 'if I did not want' and 'if I wanted' the same in meaning", and "Is there a subtle difference between them."

comment Term for “a pattern that repeats once induced”
@Robusto - I did, but what I'm describing isn't really a habit. What I'm describing involuntarily repeats, regardless of the wish of the person it affects, and it doesn't necessarily benefit said person. For example, in the above situation, I don't want to go to sleep really late, but I have to because I did it the previous night.

comment What is the origin of “hot” as “good-looking” or “attractive”?
@J.R. - I didn't really do much research when asking the question, so I guess the downvote is justified. Anyway, thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks. I want to wait a little bit for the question to get a little more attention (only 14 views so far) and more posts before I mark one as the answer, but I +1'd yours in the meantime.

comment Term for “Death by Lack of Water”
I feel like "dehydration" doesn't carry the force or drama, I suppose, of "starvation". For example, my coaches for sports say "Remember to drink water so you don't get dehydrated!", and that's not intimidating in the way that "starvation" is. However, I feel like "dehydration" can be used in the way I desire, though I'm hoping for a more fitting word, so I'll +1 you and if no better answer comes through, mark you as the answer.

comment How did “fuck” become taboo?
You're right I think: "The Oxford English Dictionary states that the ultimate etymology [of "fuck"] is uncertain, but that the word is "probably cognate" with a number of native Germanic words with meanings involving striking, rubbing, and having sex. "

comment What do you call someone who likes variety?
Thanks for your suggestions. I almost picked "venturesome" but for some reason "adventurous" sounded more appropriate.
