It is bad, but couldn't you also write: a { b { c = 1 } }

Free people not being able to match the pace of people desperately trying to free themselves from wage slavery doesn't strike me as a great justification of wage slavery. Not that I agree with the premise that capitalism is what drives

I have an erdgodox at home and really miss it when I work at cafes, I'm kind of paranoid about something that doesn't have []{}(), etc on the may layer though.

My argument would be your freedom is the most important thing you have, and you shouldn't throw it away for the convenience of github.

A bidet attachment for your toilet is only ~40 dollars and will make wet wipes seem barbaric as well.

I don't know about nausea but if that doesn't cause some kind of anger or disgust you've got problems.

Pointless thought-terminating cliches brought in hard and fast, was invoking that "law" really necessary?

I'd definitely be using it if there were a modern GHC port. Sticking with linux until I can see if I can get dragonfly working on my laptop. Man I want HAMMER.

The question in my mind then becomes "what job is ruby the right tool for?" If the reason not to use better principles is because Ruby makes them painful, rather than there's something about the domain that makes them a bad i

I think some of those "Go lacks feature X" are the arguments you're eager to hear, and not simply invalid. Go lacking generics but having generic map/array types built in is an example of going against the Scheme school

All the for loops and array indexing you do in place of simple map / filter / reduce calls would count in my definition of copy and pasted code.

Yeah I think so as well. Most of the women were programmers as well.

When I play softball is what feels like the only time I meet someone who isn't a programmer here. I briefly took swing dancing lessons with my SO and it was 90% programmers, maybe more.

I'm using 16 gigs of ram right now, and I'm upset by the idea of only having 8 gigs, but just out of curiosity, why do you regularly run multiple VMs? I almost never run any VMs, but occasionally one to play around with other dist

I feel this way so strongly. "Why do you want to work for us?" Because I have to sell my labor to pay my landlord for a place to sleep. I'm passionate about a few things, but none of them include being told what to do, then

Paying someone to be a middleman on my volunteer charity work feels pretty gross.

Comparing the burn out of making someone elses dreams come true vs your own seems ridiculous to me.

Sure, debates between two extremely similar languages aren't important, but it's not like the people arguing between Python and Ruby couldn't include Haskell or Rust in that debate, and the difference between those is huge.

In the same way, using a lighter changed the way I thought about rubbing sticks together.

Why not just pay someone else? I'm paying fastmail 40 dollars a year and happy with it.

This feels like saying airbags and seatbelts add nothing to cars assuming good driving practices. It solves not having to write a bunch of tests that can trivially be caught by a program and never having to update or maintain those tests.

The free software version is Zeal ( http://zealdocs.org/ ).

It's a pity Github has become the central place for people to host free software while not being free itself.

I started using Clojure just after 1.3 came out so I could be wrong, but my impression was that while contrib was all in one place, it was still maintained by a bunch of random people who got their code into contrib, rather than being treat

I don't think you're going to come around on it. It's not suddenly going to stop being terrible at abstraction. That essay seems very accurate and applies to Golang. The strengths of Go to me seem to be its extensive standa
