Well, for people who were using another OS not especially great for dev-work (there's nothing special about OS X in that regard) it seems like a fine recommendation. The biggest reason to run OS X apart from the obvious "you shoul

I got the impression that the author really loves Emacs and has spent a huge portion of his life caring about it and I think there's a huge amount of enthusiasm in the post. It manages to be fairly lighthearted and fun, while still tea

I would argue that pseudocode doesn't present the "end goal" of readable brevity. Without getting into specifics all too much, an example of things that can make code much shorter, yet readable, is piping data through a serie

Opinions on Scala aside, it should be said that Python isn't the epitome of conciseness that a lot of people think it is. There are more concise languages out there and languages that are as concise as Python that end up offering more

I started out doing a few years of C++ and ended up fairly disenchanted with programming. I had started when I was 14 and by 19 I was sure I didn't really want to sit down and program every day, because it just wasn't exciting eno

There's no need to involve Go in that stack if you're building on Elixir. If you absolutely need interop with something else it'd be better to go with something more focused (either on speed, correctness or something else, as

You should do a write-up on it and show your tests. As it stands, this post has almost no real value for anyone else and no one knows anything about what you used and how.

We were discussing whether or not it's a "feature" that you don't have to cook and the rationale for that thinking is simply that some people don't want to cook. Whatever you replace the act of cooking with in that

No, I don't think you can generalize like that. I like eating just fine, but I would consider Soylent if I wasn't married mostly because I just don't like cooking. Going out or ordering isn't financially all that feasibl

by 59nadir 10y ago
Do you realize how ridiculous it sounds when you equate not wanting to cook because you'd rather do something else with a socially crippling disorder?

by 59nadir 10y ago
Yes, it is a feature for some people; they simply don't like cooking and don't want to spend time on it.

Impractical how? I'm curious. Writing JS strikes me as impractical from the get-go. Writing in a managed language that will compile down to JS and give you an escape hatch for when you really need it strikes me as far more practical in

I think the real markers should be that a person is not afraid of broadening their views. Usually, the advice for hiring for Erlang, as an example, is not to hire people that know Erlang, but focus on hiring good people (who are capable of

How do you even end up wanting to use Guile if you hate Lisp? The value proposition of using Guile is essentially that you're now using Scheme. You'd be hard pressed to find all that many features that are unique to that system th

The fact that two or more programming languages are particularly suited for a certain task has absolutely no bearing on the general usefulness of having conversations about what languages are good for. It has absolutely no relevance to stat

I absolutely agree that lots of new stuff is not necessarily better than the old. Particularly when they end up more complicated than what preceded them. I think maybe I overstated the issue of time (what came before, etc.). I should'v

No, I think the real issue here is people taking languages personally, when there really shouldn't be any reason to. It's very interesting that people form such a personal bond with programming languages, to the point where they w

A fairly useless one at that. It plays on the idea that people don't consider technical merit when choosing programming languages and the metaphor did nothing but trivialize the idea of objectively comparing languages and their strong&
