   Research, Sports, executive salaries. There are a lot of costs besides teacher's salaries.

   That sound one was really cool. I certainly wouldn't have thought of it.

   It is "house-edged" in the sense the game is slightly negative summed due to the rake.

   At what point is the language going to get serious adoption? It's mature, unbloated, elegant, and fun to write. The only thing I really think needs improvement is its multicore stuff.

   I get the reasoning behind it, but I wonder how it affects hiring/retention.

    Which explains why it wasn't all recovered as well. Occam's razor strikes again.

    OO is still oversold in my opinion. Functional programming may be an up and coming star, but OO dominates industry still.

    Can someone explain how the demo proves that it is Turing Complete? I haven't taken automata yet.

    I feel like "industry" doesn't really want functional style programming to take over. Languages like OCaml provide really great speed while having also utilizing a relatively high abstraction level, while Lisp may not have as

    I personally don't think WhatsApp's goal was getting acquired. I think they got an offer they couldn't refuse, but I don't think they would have sold to a normal valuation.

    For HTTP, Microsoft recently opensourced a C++ Rest SDK called CasaBlanca [0]. For debugging, I'm still partial to the Visual Studio debugger when appropriate, though it doesn't seem to be able to debug lambdas very well. Also po

    DNS I'd imagine. Traditionally, the root DNS servers points to TLD servers. It doesn't really make sense for every possible string to be a TLD.

    Compare the writing to russian/greek/korean however. The helpfulness of phonetic alphabets can't be overstated. Being able to transcribe and sound-out words is a huge amount of memory you don't have to use that can inste

    How did these laws pass (besides lobbying from people growing corn)? I wasn't following too closely at the time.

    I can't remember which site did it, but one site would just silently fail and redirect to the same page if the password was too long... awkward.

    I would love to see a nicer language replace JavaScript as much as the next guy, but it seems rather unlikely especially given the changes that ECMA has approved in the past. I am really hoping that some day, we will be able to do front-end

    Yes. I use LastPass, and everywhere possible, I have 20-100 character passwords with uppercase/lowercase/numbers/symbols. They can be generated by the software very conveniently.

    I actually figured something out with this which is weird, because I don't think it has to do with exceptions. I passed in a new object of an undeclared type and just walked across the water, which I can't explain. Can anyone help

    You can't tell how software/architecture built today will be used in the future. You do your best to pick a method, but you operate on imperfect information. Sometimes you get it right and things work well, sometimes you get it wr

    Interestingly, a red-black tree can be viewed as a BTree [0]. Another case where caching plays a huge role in determining the most efficient data structure (See vector vs list [1]). [0]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red
