I would say its practical. That's basically people with nuclear families without support structures. Single people most likely will quit unless they are planning to get married. People would also most likely quit in functional countrie

All of them are sponsored by the government. I think the counteract is to have all meetings, phone calls by public officials open for scrutiny.

You're right! I always preferred the explicit arrow because it reminded me of C. Dammit now I want to write perl. I miss autovivification so much. Most people hate the pointer syntax and call it unreadable. I think there should be a pe

Yeah that too! People keep saying perl is a bad language or something and the other languages can't even get implementing closures right. I've always liked the references syntax, probably the most complained about feature. Its jus

This is just bad maintenance. Just pick all the stuff people are complaining about and fix it! 1. Improve threads 2. Improve C API support 3. Give local::lib, cpanm by default ... multiple perl versions by default 4. Give direct support for

After a previous discussion here it seems people confuse classes with modules. At the risk of repeating myself. Class based inheritance - Bad Traits, roles, mixins - You are still thinking in terms of inheritance so its Meh. Combining Data

Wow did not know that. Is there a distribution that offers bounds checking for all linux software ? I wonder how slow a typical LAMP stack will be. My guess is no more than 5x. I think thats an acceptable tradeoff. I'm guessing there&#

It offers bounds checking! The documentation links to http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~phjk/BoundsChecking.html Someone needs to add this to llvm.

A bit more stronger than that. Have a [deleted] user tag. Deleting all comments too would be nice but I get that it messes up the comment system.

HN should allow you to delete accounts at the very least.

That is actually quite cool. If people had to pay for facebook they wouldn't. What do you think is missing for self-hosters, easy sign up ? I don't think it is easy create to DNS and private server for normal folks.

That was an insightful link. But is it really the gig economy ? This seems more like the crowdfunding model, which is more applicable to arts and crafts. I remember first reading about radiohead or someone else using pre-order sales to get

Conceptual entrepreneurs almost sounds like a good thing. Bullshit is a lie with an ideological bent.

As a modern society we would like to assume that human sacrifice doesn't happen but just try to blaspheme a nation state and see how quickly people get ready with the pitch forks. The semantics have merely shifted. Rene Girard talks a

Bully's once they grow up have to adopt a veneer facade of goodness to hide that plain fact that they are still the same. In such cases it's usually the actions that speak the truth because the words are always meant to hide greed

Oracle is so supportive, free and open that it is suing Google for copying from a free software.

Thats a simplistic view of restaurants. From a purely market perspective, people already do this with personal loans, credit card or otherwise. I do agree that evaluating the final software's value is difficult but for a loan lender, i

1. Developer Salaries 2. Marketing Costs 3. Compute Power 4. Software Pricing can all be quantifiable in numbers. Again I don't know how loans operate. To be a cynic, I think the software free lunch is over. Data will be increasingly l

Interesting, in that sense software is like making an art piece where value is uncertain. That definitely opens a viable case for public funded software. Plenty of movies are produced with the help of Govt for example.

This is probably silly but I have often wondered why you don't get straightforward loans in Software. If I were to open a restaurant I would hardly go for a VC. Do banks have something against software businesses ? Are there software c
