It amazes me that so many people cite the blub essay while behaving exactly as the essay describes a blub programmer. Ruby is not near the top of the spectrum, you aren't even aware of the languages that are at the top of the spectrum

You do understand that just saying "that's a lie" over and over doesn't do anything right? You have absolutely no credibility, you have no evidence to support your claims, and you have an obvious emotional investment in

Also note how sencha then went and re-created the new facebook app in html, showing that facebook was full of shit.

Why do you think they would list every single employee and contractor in their funding campaign? Why do you think I know their names? They say those people exist, there is no reason to believe otherwise, you contradict them with no eviden

Both replies say they haven't shipped anything. Seems odd for someone who gets intensely bitter over someone making a successful business to hang around on HN.

That was always the plan, as he said from the start. Why do you think a single person preparing test batches for himself in his kitchen is an indication that he intends to prepare and ship a million dollars worth of the stuff from his kitc

They haven't shipped any product. Once again we have people spewing absolute nonsense pulled seemingly from nowhere. It is great that you hate soylent so much, but if you want to criticize it, take 15 minutes to at least do a quick g

Soylent is made by people who know what they're doing, in clean factories, with quality ingredients. You seem to have a really deep emotional investment in strawmanning soylent, why is that?

They have been making and supplying them for many years, but they are not designed as a replacement for food, and do not contain 100% of known essential nutrients. Recommending something that we absolutely know for certain is not complete

Why does everyone insist on recommending people consume completely inappropriate "alternatives" to soylent that will cause health problems with 100% certainty?

Those are more expensive though, not less.

I'm not suggesting that only ems be available, just that we need both px and em.

by asdasf 13y ago
The change from em to pixels seems misguided. Pixels are not a replacement for ems just because it is a programming language. The claim made in the discussion that em is a kludge to make relative resizing possible is wrong. You don'

>There's a benefit in incentivizing good service Except it only incentivizes good services for white men without accents who drink and dress well. That doesn't seem like such a great benefit.

The reason is that servers get paid still up here, so there is no reason for tips. We tip anyways because we do everything that they do in the US, regardless of whether or not it is appropriate. It is becoming an issue now where servers u

Really? As someone who is from neither of those locations, but has been a tourist to both, I've had the opposite experience.

>How is that any different from Haskell? With haskell, the compiler verified tons of possible errors to guarantee against them. With smalltalk, you verified those tons of possible errors yourself. People make mistakes.

I'm not imagined, I am real. I know you were restating the analogy, the problem is that the analogy is wrong. I can't find anything about APL that a haskell developer would find new or interesting or frightening or anything like

by asdasf 13y ago
I don't follow. The notion put forward was "hey people who like haskell, stop improving haskell and start adding visual studio support or else $BIGCORP won't use haskell". Nobody cares if $BIGCORP uses haskell, they ar

What ORM are you using? I've never seen or heard of one that people didn't have to drop down to sql with (or a pseudo SQL language that is converted directly to SQL).
509.
by asdasf 13y ago
That seems totally backwards. If your app is a simple CRUD app, then ORMs save you time. For complex apps, ORMs generally can't even express what you want, or can only do so in incredibly inefficient ways, so you end up dropping down

by asdasf 13y ago
If you want to abstract part of a common query, then do so. That is what views are for. Everyone trying to sell the world on ORMs always seems to make this mistake. You can't say "if you do things the worst possible way now, an
