Yes, I've seen it Clojure, where the documentation is extensive, giving great coverage to its standard library... but still haves you reading the source and searching the web for examples after reading the description, especially when speaking about macros (so... does this receive a vector? Does it take its arguments as a list, or what? A mixture of both?)
Racket goes full in the other direction, to a fault, even though it's much preferable.Racket's documentation is at times hard to wade through because it's so extensive. You have to scroll through the treatises and descriptions of options to find an example usage which will get you out quickly, but it's, for once, all there in the manual.
Haha, I actually really like how Racket does it and consider them a great example to follow:
- Racket's documentation is all on your local machine. Stuck without an Internet connection? F1, and you're searching your own documnetation index.
- Everything -- everything -- is hypelinked. If you see a blue word in a code example, even the ones on the front page of http://racket-lang.org/ , you can click on it and jump straight to that function's contract.
But I agree, I wish there were a better way to jump straight to examples when you're looking at a specific function's documentation. It's confusing having the completely separate "Guide" and "Reference" halves of the documentation with no links between them.
My gripe with Racket's documentation is that there is no middle ground between tutorials designed to showcase features rather than explain how Racket does and doesn't work and computer generated auto-docs. The tutorials are more geared toward selling the language to beginners, while the rest of the documentation is bereft of illustrative examples and editorial discussion.
A++ is a grade, not a number. Clearly what you need is #S(grade :letter A :decorations (+ +) :rapidly-escalating-pedantry t) or some other meaningful representation.
If someone gets fat off potatoes and bread they are consuming too much. They could reduce consumption of potatoes/bread and spend the money they save on vegetables.
I don't think that fascism means what you think it means. The fascists I have argued with, and this does follow some excerpts from Mussolini's works and speeches, are subjectivists.
And yes, they do exist. They are actually a pest in certain forums. 4chan has a board which functions essentially as a ghetto for them and other miscellaneous right wingers, so that they won't be screwing up, say, the science or the sports boards with white supremacist spiel.
``Reddit'' is worthy of bashing in many ways, but you are bashing it for the wrong reasons; the reason why the article was downvoted there most surely wasn't because of the lack of image macros, but rather that it ran against the locals (he probably posted it in a pro-Bitcoin subreddit) religious fervor.
You still see them swearing allegiance to Bitcoin and deriding those who sold during the crash, all the while holding on to their, at least temporarily, worthless Bitcoins.
As a non-gym goer (if I had the money...), what injuries are you talking about? I can guess that gyms want to protect people who try to lift more weight than they can, rather than straining from posture.

The problem with Smith Machines is that the movements are all linear, e.g. perfectly straight. NOTHING in your body moves in a perfectly straight line, there is an arc to almost everything you do.
Frequently people do squats with smith machines which will eventually hurt their backs from bad form.
(Indeed, I wince in pain sometimes watching people do horrible things to their backs in smith machines, holy crap!)
Now you CAN do things wrong with barbells of course, but many of the things done with a smith machine cannot be right at all!

My small local gym costs $200 a year.
Find a small local neighborhood gym (even if it isn't in your neighborhood!), they are always affordable!
And hey, body weight exercise programs are free. :)
