Ok, maybe "crap" is a bit of exaggeration. The point was that you really wouldn't need to really struggle to make a great game, as people would download it just because they saw good (fake) reviews. As long as it doesn't really suck, there

Hm, so why make a unique game after all? Just make a crap one and buy the reviews. 1. write crap game. 2. buy reviews. 3. profit.

What Lisp are you talking about? If Lisp isn't simple, what is, then? Sure, if you want to become a skilled programmer in Lisp, it would take many years. But that is applicable to anything in life after all. The original Lisp 1.5 Programmer

I believe this too. Presuming that functional programming is a good thing, Haskell is a great way to learn it. It will force you to operate in a functional way all the time, thus speeding up your learning process.

My bet is that when Clojure gets to be 29 years old it will, also, suffer from several problems. I don't believe it is possible to design a future proof programming language. Who knows what will come next and how it will affect programming

I think I'm missing something. How's that you'll be driving "for free" ? Someone has to pay for the energy the cars will be spending.The cars need maintenance. The car will be the "fastest, sexyest" for how long? There is no free lunch. And

Actually, saying that you'll never like a given detail about a language is not the same as saying that you'll never work for company X because of that specific detail. It is not a logical conclusion, unless you are implying that for one to

"Frankl concluded that the difference between those who had lived and those who had died came down to one thing: Meaning, an insight he came to early in life." So the thousands who died on the camps were some kind of nihilists, eh? Why peop

Java is statically typed and it is ugly as hell. It also breaks stuff between major versions. Implying that a language is doomed to be ugly or hard to evolve because it doesn't use static types is not a logical conclusion. Besides, Perl 6 i

This question is subjective. Slackware is cool if you like to know how things work. It doesn't hide a lot of things that other distros automate for you. So, in a sense, it has the advantage of keeping it simple and, thus, being a better pla

SOA is nice but it also has some drawbacks. While the OP argues that it brings simplicity, SOA also makes the design process more complex. Like functional programming, you have to think more carefully about what each service will do, and ho

Hm, the page is not very clear about the scalability of this system. It only says the system performs 130k queries per day (~ 1.5 requests per second). This page ( http://searchengineland.com/by-the-numbers-twitter-vs-facebo... ) claims tha

So, this is it? To not have regrets, do whatever you feel like doing? I'd have to disagree. I know lots of people that went this route and ended up regreting how they screwed up their lifes. What is hard about life is that what you want is

Agreed. It makes CL look way easier than assembly :D edit: not that I consider it to be like assembly, really.

I'm not sure that books were so cheap in the last 500 years. Many people didn't even know how to read back then. Or did they? Besides, it is questionable how many of those books of 500 years ago were good books for learning. One most presum
