That's what they say about perl. Keep trying and itll make sense! Granted, scala can be written to read much easier than perl, but that argument in particular don't carry much weight imo.

I've known about cbt but it's a hard sell at a corp, esp when lightbend doesn't seem to want anything to do with it. They'd rather pretend sbt works just fine and that we're all idiots rather than laying sbt to a gr

Too many weird macros, too many non-english operators, too much weird bullshit with Ivy, that if you install scala from source sbt will fuck it up if you try and do coverage testing on different versions, build times are ridiculous (this ha

I was in military intelligence. I am qualified to make the evaluation I made. Violent citizens can be dealt with through police channels and public servants, not lawless shadows in the dark in a giant data center somewhere. How many civilia

Idk, tony is my programming role model. Fantastic guy, extremely knowledgeable, explains things in very approachable way. Love him to death. He's helped me fix MANY stupid type puzzles, and scalaz scumbags ran him out of the entire lan

Then it should be a job for public servants and law enforcement, not a bunch of cowboys with unlimited xkeyscore power with nobody to answer to.

Not even close to the actual intelligence structure. The nsa doesn't have to answer to dod at ALL. Hurr durr the military is the state, you have no clue what you're talking about. I served for 6 years doing naval intelligence, sig

Playing go cooperatively is very different from chess or most other turn-based tactical games in that combinatorics make the gamespace astronomically large. Most pro players understand what impact this has on gameplay and how to adapt their

Oh lord, this is so shocking! /s Why is state intelligence even a thing? The military is capable of gathering all of the defensive intelligence that we need to protect ourselves. These state cowboys are out there making deals and crack

Well I'm glad you nitpicked what he wrote even though you knew what he meant. I'm sure he appreciates it. He's cited several older languages, so it's pretty obvious that he's aware of some of the historical happenin

I hate clojure, but that complaint is EXACTLY what I was thinking must drive clojure users to it in the first place. Clojure just seems dumb because the jvm is such a hassle and bloated, sbcl is incredible, racket is good, guile is incredib

Wow, turning the free market argument into a shilling strawman is the most innovative misunderstanding of economics I've ever seen!

Yeah I'd hate to be tied with extreme scale emulation efforts that serve millions of users built by multi billion dollar corps. Shame! /s

You mean by standards of myself having been there and seen them, but sure. I think there's plenty of room for improvement for the prison system, and I've enjoyed discussing it with you. You have broadened my perspective on the iss

Is this illegal? They have the right to process their own footage, I would think.

Both my parents are career wardens in a supermax. (two different ones) But I'm sure Google has taught you more about prison than what they've taught me. I'll be sure to examine things with more detail, lmao

But it takes a bit of common sense to realize prisons aren't lawless hellscapes and are very strictly regulated and closely monitored. Particularly private sector ones. You also are shoehorning what I actually said into "hurr sure

You have such a way with words with stuff like this. Modern tech circles feel like such a minefield, there's always some guy waiting to scream ACK CHEW ALLY. Anyways, I'm so glad you are dedicated to the julians. Have our back, we

You know that there's tons of for-profit prisons right? I've always been a proponent of hard labor camps, short sentences, and judicial forgiveness. Put them in for a few months, work the living hell out of them, get 'em out

Its against the competitive spirit of business. Like if I'm trying to run the best taxi service and someone runs a better one, that's fine, but if someone is stalking my driver's and spying on them, that's bullshit. It&#

Hey whatup cl-async guy! I'd liked to add that there are aspects of mutualism underlying how much we value dogs. We used to hunt alongside dogs, there exists a special bond between man and dog that does not exist between any other spec

I have never seen a gloriously snarky, incredibly accurate, incredibly concise synopsis of something before. This comment should be chiseled in stone and buried for future post-nuke earthlings, so they will know just how capable we used to

So there's actually not a story? I read the email and the dude just gives them that port assignment with no ceremony. I was hoping it would be more climactic. HN doesn't really seem concerned that all these titles are low-quality
