Disclosure: Debian lover here. Do you think the world runs on Debian? What if everybody started making announcements about his/her Linux distribution of choice? And what about other major pieces of software? Since you got 15 upvotes so far,

Do these announcements belong here? I mean, those interested in learning about new releases of Debian, Ubuntu or some other software can just subscribe to dedicated mailing lists.

This guy makes some points, but he obviously does not understand C++.

Author? Thanks.

Yes, one should consider such an issue too. Thanks for sharing. However, in my case, she was still there because she had been watching us play and afterward we went to a pub all together. I just wanted to say that either she didn't care or

> "Hey, do you mind watching my stuff for a minute?" works pretty well. It works pretty well with people who are street-smart enough and really care about other's possessions. I once trusted my purse to a friend of a friend because I ha

This is admirable, but I'm a bit worried that a lot of donated money will fall into some black hole. Money matters, yes, still I would much prefer successful people donating their smarts to the world instead of their money.

I think so. You can see less educated people struggling to understand or express subtle topics. A richer language allows you to think with a richer palette of shades.

Er, a more literal translation is: "Man with a wicked conscience: what he would do, he thinks others would too."

It shuts about your qualities, instead. What annoys you about people? Do you try to understand them? As the old adage goes: "He who knows everything, forgives everything." Getting along with people we like and who like us is effortless. But

If you think your job depends on qualified interviewer anyway, good luck. This guy just learned a tip which hopefully will help him get a better view of a candidate.

How would a Jew describe Hitler positively? She could say he was out of his mind, and that would tell you that she considers Hitler's actions out of this world, even for the most evil - but still sane - person. That would tell you she is ve

Nice to learn that. I wonder whether it would be possible to distinguish between polite comments and sincere ones. I think so, but I would like to test.

They aren't. I wonder why only pessimists keep saying they are just realists.

There are many way to say one person is incompetent: "He is worthless.", "He is not experienced enough." and so on. That many ways to say things say something about you.

Common wisdom agrees instead: "Man with wicked conscience: he behaves wickedly, and he views others' motives as wicked too." (Italian original proverb: "Uomo di mala coscienza: chi la fa, la pensa.") That is: we are inclined to judge others

I absolutely agree. We can't avoid talking about ourselves, more so - and in an unfiltered way - whenever we are talking about others.

Emacs is not an editor, it's an Emacs Lisp interpreter, so you can't really compare it to Vim. If you just need an editor which is configurable no more than deemed necessary, Vim is fine. If you need more than that, Emacs is your piece of c

Thank you for sharing. I think this shows limits of comment format. Why can't we just draw and embed images inside comments, along with Rich Text?

Learning Haskell has been a side project of mine the summer of two years ago, when there were a bit less tools to help newbies. Not an issue for me, since I've grown used to run code in my mind while reading it, because I firstly learned C

> "Can't" is not at issue here - with enough effort, anyone can do just about anything. The question is whether it's actually worth the effort. Perhaps I should have said "with little effort", then. If you can't setup a system with just

I think you've just nailed it down: Haskell is for mathematicians, or those mathematically oriented. Most programmers are not mathematicians (especially self-taught ones) since at the end of the day common programming tasks don't require yo

Why an insult? Actions speak louder than words. How many people say health is one's most important asset, yet they don't take any action to really take care of it? Would you still think they care that much about their health? How many peopl

I'd like to add that I've not said "average Joe" in a dismissing tone. I just meant that most people are not that interested in living their lives to their fullest, and are just not interested in asking deep questions in whatever domain. Mo

Thanks for pointing this out, too. Indeed Haskell lacks a proof of concept of its superiority. And you can't provide such a proof with a few lines of code. When I studied Erlang, I was flabbergasted by both code size reduction and expressiv

That is implied in what I've said: hackers are a minority.
