And if the downvoted comment used the phrase "more vocal in one's views" instead probably it wouldn't get downvoted much

Well, hinting that they're ideologically biased wouldn't be fair either, if one doesn't bother to substantiate it in any way Note that a lot of people with "preferences" set on imperative languages have simply never

Maybe because dismissing those who appreciate the advantages of functional programming as "noisy fans" is condescending, and implies that their preferences are based on emotional rather than rational grounds. I'm not a noisy

My understanding is that it's more of a multi-paradigm language; more like Scala than Haskell. And it's very apparent that modern C# itself has been influenced by FP concepts a lot (in compare to Java, for instance). You don'

20-30%? Lucky Hungarians (although I believe your numbers are off). Median net salary in Poland is about 415 euro. More than half the population doesn't feel "welcomed" by these standards...

That depends on circumstances really. Yeah it's easy to fix dumb code... unless there's 10 tons of it I once worked with about 1.5 million LOC worth of "naive" PHP code. It was one big e-commerce system. The SSOT princip

Good for you. I'm probably not as smart and more likely to get confused without having the history laid out in the form of a clean, coloured graph. At any rate, it allows me to free whatever brain power I have for other purposes

For commands maybe, but nothing beats a graphical history tree. It's hard for a human to imagine a complex branch history without a good visual aid

I do the same thing, and one of the reasons why I always do that is that it makes it way easier to troubleshoot stuff when you're using English locale. Googling will give you a much broader pool of solutions, and having to translate th

Same in my case. I tried LSD, cocaine, MDMA and DXM, and each of these only once in my life. I saw no point in doing any of them again, and I had no problem whatsoever refraining myself from it.

In the classical "Amusing Ourselves to Death" Neil Postman makes a case that politics, and the quality of political debate, has deteriorated a lot from 18-19th century standards. Back in 1850s, Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham Linco

While you're mostly right (and associating the abolishment of death penalty with French Revolution made me chuckle too), it's not actually true that the EU banned death penalty outright. EU institutions surely oppose death penalty
