You'd put the bsd handbooks in second place after the Arch wiki? The FreeBSD handbook seems a lot more impressive and coherent to me, so does the OpenBSD documentation.

I installed freebsd on an old laptop (thinkpad t60) because I want to use something simple, very well documented, and with an emphasis on good code. I know OpenBSD takes this further, but I know FreeBSD has more packages/ports availab

People create more complex systems because they no longer have to think about tedious bugs that will be caught by their compiler?

There isn't one, all titles like this do is perpetuate the myth that you need some sort of specially wired brain to learn math. I hate the spin of learning as some sort of hack. Surprise, learning something involves repetition and pr

They normally charge outrageous amounts for long distance calls, which is basically all their calls. Last year the FCC limited the max rate of calls to 25 cents a minute, or 3.75 for a 15 minute call. Still outrageous, but at least not as

I'm into clojure and clojurescript, but I can see why people would want to avoid the overhead of using a compile to js language. To be honest though, I'm excited about this and all other functional goodies coming to plain JS from

I think it's pretty hard to find something more efficient than sitting down and reading a textbook and doing the exercises to learn something you actually want to learn.

I can't imagine entering into this career or hobby and not bothering to learn how to edit text.

I find the idea of working a 9-5 every day an unacceptable sacrifice, it's doesn't seem like a false dichotomy to me.

Even if it were true that it were overly complicated, that wouldn't change the fact that it's much more powerful than Go's. “When I work at this system up to 12hrs a day, I’m profoundly uninterested in what user interface a n

I think you should figure out what's going on with with your dev environment and go with Haskell. Are you using the Haskell platform? If so I would ditch that and make sure to install everything in a sandbox, I've had very littl

No generics (parametric polymorphism), no algebraic data types. You should learn some Haskell or Ocaml even if you don't plan on using it in production. Go's type system is weak. Edit: I don't think there's anything li

Ok, I'll point out again that it emphasizes both concurrency and mutability which is a match made in hell and has a type system that's constantly subverted by null pointers and casts to interface which drastically reduce safety. I

Surprising to me to use "the map is not the territory" this way when static typing constrains and makes provable claims about the territory. If none, or even most of those top 25 errors don't mostly look like type errors to y

Probably yes but they'd have had to treat vim as a black box since the code is/was such a disaster.

Their choice to stay consistent with their initial terrible ui design is the type of foolish consistency this quote is probably referring to.

I've run a non-exit node on my linode for a long time, it's easy and a good way to use the massive amount of leftover bandwidth I have. Everyone with a personal vps should do it.

That niche seems to be web servers, which is a gigantic niche, but yes I largely think its a worse tool than Haskell/Ocaml/Erlang/etc in that niche. The point stcredzero about manually laying out memory is fair, though much l

What's the niche Go occupies and what makes go better than those other languages you mentioned for that niche? Those languages are better tools for solving problems in a lot of cases, the problem is people just choose tools that are si

I think yesod ( http://www.yesodweb.com/ ) manages to achieve a decent amount of this stuff in Haskell.
