   Almost agree, but minor nitpick: the tools and infrastructure (at least most of them) exist on other platforms in the same or better quality as well. Especially dependency management is not necessarily a strong side of Java (one global name

   Sociological studies bla, bla - TL;DR: You are more civil when people recognize you. You are more likely to act in the "interest of the group" when you sign stuff with your real name. At least that's the state of the research

   Thanks! That article is pretty awesome. It would slightly more awesome if it would use the analogies "bind"/"feed"/"chain" that apparently are more often used to speak about it. But I could consider c

   Thanks for the very complete answer! That those terms are not mentioned in the article (titled "What I Wish I Knew When Learning Haskell", so apparently meant for people being new to the concepts) is my actual criticism. The abili

   No, see below, I just think that if you write something is "easy to understand" and then you go on and explain it using unknown (to the reader) symbols without given the symbols pronounceable names, you're doing it wrong. One

   If I can't talk to you about it (e.g. I have to literally say "Oh, you forgot to declare a way to apply the greater than-greater-than-equal operator!"), it's hard to actually reason about a problem domain. It's like

   I really wish people would start treating languages as languages. `(m >>= f) >>= g ≡ m >>= (\x -> f x >>= g)` is not easy to understand because the symbols don't have names. I can't read it. How is &

    I don't think running a garbage collected languages on asm.js will ever make any sense (since it would mean implementing and shipping your own GC as part of the application source). So, yeah, you're right. Scala (as-is) is not a g

    "built to do multi master replication" is a pretty naive way of putting it. Couch does not (by default) support a multi-master cluster setup. The way in which couchdb supports mutli-master is "you have different servers that

    Every fuzzy-versioned dependency means one request to npm that you can not (really) cache - at least not without doing and relying on active cache invalidation. And if I look at my average npm install log, that's about half of the requ

    Because the title implies that Google does not think that G+ is something users would want. There are people who genuinely like G+ and maybe even think it's awesome that YouTube now is so tightly integrated with it. So a title implying

    No, communism will not grant basic income. Communism tried to force everyone to work in exchange for "income". That's a pretty different concept. The article also contains the awesome phrase "countries less socialist tha

    One thing I never understood about - awful generalization - "real" functional languages is their fascination with terrible naming. What I mean is things like `car`, `cdr`, `conj` - words that are impossible to understand if you do

    I think "secure" and "cloud" are pretty misleading. In terms of security (if it's about my personal mail/calendar) my bigger concern would be that my data is lost, e.g. not backed up properly, deceptible to har

    0.x does not mean "unstable" in semantic versioning. If you don't have any stable interface, not using a version would maybe semantic. With semantic versioning they should rather be at Scala 11.x or 23.x (each breaking change

    Since comparing strings and numbers generally doesn't make a lot of sense, you could just consider it a case of "undefined behavior". As many other people will write: There's only one case I can think of where the unsafe

    Unfortunately those will come at the price that your Google account works slight differently (in regards to G+, YouTube, Maps, GTalk, Docs, ...). It's more than just removing ads. Unfortunately. I was very close to moving my personal G

    I'm not sure about the US, but in Germany at least heavy taxation of cigarettes and alcohol is justified by "burden on society". There are more than two options (not do anything vs. outlaw).

    With reasonable compile options (e.g. -wall), it is issuing a warning. Every compiler config I used out-of-the-box via some IDE will show that warning. It's bad defaults of the compiler maybe, but hardly the fault of the language itsel

    The list was about joining PRISM, it doesn't say anything about backdoors in mobile phones. They may very well be present in all iPhone generations.
