I don't think so.

I don't think it's misleading. I read the OP comment as a humorous warning that we should be cautious around arguments which very probably came out of wish to defend beloved PL. These opinions often bring interesting thoughts, but

Yep. Does it contradict to what I wrote though?

In most countries to hire a remote foreigner requires to jump over some legal, and accounting complications. So yes, they do it because they want to find a cheaper deal abroad. It's pretty much the only reason why it makes sense for th

I suppose it's more to prevent digital mobbing then to force positivity.

UI is confusing, IMO. Coming to the website I don't understand what I supposed to do. I clicked that bias line randomly, and most of the time headlines were from lefty sources. The idea is cool, but to be honest, it's hard to do i

For those who missed this fragment of history: US abdication from being the free harbor for the internet was spearheaded by US, and Western European NGOs. At that time I was already amazed why they don't see the obvious fact that they

Hm, not sure how it supposed to work. For the absolute majority of devs hardware is abstracted away behind the thick walls of IDE/editors, VMs/runtumes, and OS APIs (especially true for JVM, and js hosted PLs such as Clojure) and

>individual employees do not have any bargaining power It's incorrect statement. I bargained with my employers multiple times in individual capacity. There are some points which are easier to bargain about collectively, and some whi

Unless you are taking these words absolutely literally, the OP is right. Economizing + achieving the marks set by CPSU at all cost was prioritized over everything, including safety even in armed forces. Source: born, and raised there.

Choice of abstractions which suit your thinking is obviously subjective so some people naturally prefer TS or Scala.js or PureScript over Clojurescript, (or whatever else over Clojurescript). However, the statement "you spent more time

Doesn't sound particularly convincing, at least as a bare statement. Care to elaborate? Links?

Well, ok those are important things, and let's see what court will say. Ordering to remove the tweet still moronic though.

>there is a very clear imposition of power over the employee here Hm, where is this imposition of power? I see what could be clearly called bargaining. Btw, my apologies if this sounds too harsh, but comparing it to "sexual favors&q

Partly. But let's not forget Microsoft actively kicked Borland in the guts by withholding API information, and hiring away Borland's key figures. Everybody saw it and accounting for Msft weight (especially at that time) it was saf

Yes, but Object Pascal's syntax is way cleaner.

by brokenkebab 6y ago
Yes, but in the long term everything will break, no matter what language one uses. The question is how long is long? I suppose when talking about PLs it's proportional to amount of working code in the wild.

It perfectly supports my hypothesis. Cobol is bloody 60+ old. It was in the category of “oh so old" languages in 80s already, and it took another 40 years to reach the point when its code became too old to support.

While confusion around P6 certainly hurt Perl, Python started to conquer over areas previously held by Perl even before that. AFAICT educational establishments didn't like Perl because it embraces expressivity. There's more then o

by brokenkebab 6y ago
There are loads of battle-tested well-working Perl code around, and its cheaper to hire one smart dev who can learn Perl to maintain than to hire a whole team to re-write in a new PL. So no matter what is Perl's future in terms of evol

Well, you probably didn't read the text. There are very fine-defined points to compare, nobody draws any wild parallels.

Wokeness is certainly among the strongest movements in developed Anglophone countries, having a huge discoursive power, and embedded in structures of authority for quite a long time. Last 7-8 yrs it became more visible simply because its d

by brokenkebab 6y ago
Wokeness is built on networked flexible leadership (which was not possible before the internet) therefore certainly is not as rigid, centralized, or bureaucratic as CSPU. But OP obviously didn't mean structural similarity. It still val

There's a lot in your comment I can agree with, but it all sounds as if corporate media brands make journalists acquire allegiance to truth while small/personal brands do not. In real world both don't. Such allegiance as well

by brokenkebab 6y ago
I see here obvious misunderstanding of what fact-checking is in media biz. F-c is not some sort of tool, or pre-requisite for truth. Neither it's a part of imaginary high standard for reporting. It's a corporate defence line to re

I re-read the comment in question with great attention, and found nothing OP insists on except for being left alone with his tea. Quote: "Use the combinations you enjoy"

by brokenkebab 6y ago
This comment sounds very snobbish to me. If OP likes his tea simple without ceremonies, reciting poetry, or measuring temperature of water to 0.1°C precision it gives you no logical reason to claim he's not smart, or enlightened enough

Not pursuing "small" - quoted because up to $950 is rather big chewing gum really - crimes creates wrong incentives, and it skews general culture of (dis)respect to law, and property. Essentially normalizing bad behavior will inev
