Sorry, but a $1.2m house, including mortgage, taxes, insurance and the general cost of owning a home is not affordable to someone making 200k/yr, much less the $180,000 down payment you are suggesting. That isn't to say it is impo

I got the same impression that this guy did from your article, as well. It sounds like you are taking your limited experience and projecting it through the lens of various media (which includes places like this) to come up with an understan

I'm a programmer. Written 4 programming books - all Amazon best sellers. Just happened to also start running a company. After enough growth, bringing in a business partner to focus on non-engineering tasks was an important step. Having

If I may ask, what have been your successful ventures? How successful? What would you say your net worth is? In other words, to make your argument resonate with me, I'm more interested in how well your belief system has worked for you,

It doesn't make much sense that I've provided you with anecdotal evidence, as I have not provided you with any evidence at all. My suggestion was that you do real research on the topic. You've made a number of generalizations

I think you should put some time and effort into researching who in America works for a minimum wage, how long they work for minimum wage, what economists think about minimum wage. I typically find that if I find something 'crazy'

I think the important thing about Erlang (the system as a whole) is that you really have to understand what it does first. It's not one of those platforms you just jump into and start toying around and then maybe things work 'good

This is true of all subjects, though. The purpose isn't to train world class engineers out of high school, it is to expose more people to the subject and the thought processes that go into it.

It's true of iOS as well, it's just that the default function pointer logs then terminates instead of just logs.

He can't solve this problem without using a base class, so he wants to go back to Objective-C where he will use a base class ? Objective-C does not have a better solution - it has the same solution here. The only difference is that Ob

Not saying Swift doesn't do that, saying he's doing it wrong. Protocols can still be interfaces (what he and you are describing), there is no loss. Two types that simply implement a similar protocol are by definition not necessari

This is all possible - the issue is that you still must define equality if you want to put it in a collection that cares about equality.

This isn't a limitation of Swift, this is someone trying to write Objective-C in Swift. Let's say he gets what he wants - a distinct collection of instances that fulfill the 'Account' contract, but are different types. T

Some of this is just poor style/naming conventions, some of it is simply implemented incorrectly and the rest of it removes necessary distinctions from important functionality.

It is just a simple example to convey that a portion of foo/1 contains a case statement, and that case statement is being replaced with a function. There could be more lines in foo/1. The point is that both the case statement and

I view it differently. In the same way a lot of online forums shadowban people, I look at Nextdoor as a shadowban from real life. Here these crazies are, thinking they're having this change-making dialogue with their neighbors, but in

Huh, I thought the 'Reformat to Dart Style' option in IntelliJ was using dartfmt and I was so disappointed at its output I stopped using it. Just went and tried dartfmt from the command line after reading this - dartfmt is signifi

It's really not that big of a deal. It was a tradeoff, for which they provide functions (unshare and copy) for opting out of the default behavior if you so choose. You aren't hamstrung here. In fact, this Array behavior is going t

At a certain point, we'll collectively have to realize that the people who jump to write opinionated articles on a technology that is 2 days old probably don't have a lot of facts or an opinion worth reading. Until that day, this

Lock-in? This argument - which we've heard before - makes the assumption that a programmer can only know one language at a time. I get that some folks are fearful of change. You're in the wrong industry, then.

Thanks for the followup. Item #2 is a point very well taken and I'll be exploring that route, appreciate the response.

While I admire the goal, this solution makes me sad. If a dog needs more exercise, then it should be exercised more often. A responsible pet owner should know their schedule and lifestyle, and choose a dog whose exercise needs match that. I

I cashed out my 401k to start a company. I was in a unique situation where I started contributing to my 401k at the very bottom of the recession (luck). The returns on my 401k contributions were greater than 100% by the time I cashed out be

Because the average reader may be inclined to think the numbers are reasonable, and then they'd be less likely to spark an outrage, and then this newspaper wouldn't get as many ad impressions.

You have to translate your strings to binaries before you try to encode to JSON. A JSON encoder has no way of determining whether it should be encoding an array or a string without this. Instead of one string type, you have "strings&qu
