I have to agree with this. Currently prototyping a project in Clojure/Compojure but I'm moving the project to Yesod for the production system.

Wouldn't the problem then be what you consider horror vs what other people consider horror? What if it's labeled as horror and comedy because it's a parody?

This is great. My first thought was "perfect, Haskell!" reverse "whatever" "No reverse function? but we can use the internet? The Prelude source probably has the best implementation of a reverse." foldl (flip (:)) [] "whatever"

Seconded. I'll even spend the extra time on it if we can do something similar to "Here is the problem and the docs. Email me back within the hour with some working code and we'll get on a call to talk through your thought process". It's lik

More likely than you being out of touch is that you're in a different environment than I am. Personally I don't believe people have to pick sides. It's not a war, more options are a good thing for people who have to pick databases.

danielweber is probably right. It's fashionable to hate on MongoDB now. There have been many, many articles detailing people having issues with it. Anything from losing data due to not keeping the set in RAM to "unsafe" defaults. Typically

I seem to have fallen into a version of this trap. MongoDB has made me a nice chunk of change as a consultant. These days when I mention MongoDB people don't even hide the crazy looks. The interview/meeting might as well be over then and th

I don't have that data, but you could probably get it by parsing all the irc logs that are around.

Thank you very much! I don't know how that slipped my mind.

Ah. Thank you for pointing that out. I've fixed my profile and found your contact information as well. I'll make contact soon.

One thing on my mind is the notion of a "Star Trek Economy". The idea being that in Star Trek, specifically TNG, the basic needs aren't an issue. Food is provided when needed, entertainment and physical fitness are available, etc. I use the

Not sure about the Harvards of the world, but I'm pretty sure the college I ended up going to only cared about my ACT score, which was > double the minimum score required for them. I know many people in my HS enjoyed it and were challen

From my experiences of HS/College in the US, I wish someone had told me I could've gotten a GED, taken the SAT/ACTs and gone to college when I was 15. I feel as though I missed out on advancing my knowledge at a time in my life when I could

I'm curious about how the utility of tools such as JSHint/Lint affect how many edge cases a new programmer actually needs to memorize, in the context of hiring said programmer. Unless a programmer is trying to abuse an edge case, wouldn't a

What do you think of the single page app you've described with multiple html entry points? Say / responds with the homepage as per usual and /feed responds with a different html start point, but the same application code. Using this techniq

IMO, yes. It helps if you're familiar with Sacha Baron Cohen's sense of comedy and aren't easily offended.

Not sure how to explain this, but on a personal level, "when my mom was laid off" references a specific point in time, while 11-ish references a period of potentially years. "11-ish" is likely more useful to everyone else, but "when my mom

Great article. I've just recently started exploring distributed systems (specifically with Riak Core/Erlang) and I hit upon a solution to a problem I've been working on (I think) while reading.
