This is perceptive. 419 is like any other advertising: if you think it is stupid, you are not in the target market, but someone else is. Who communicates in all caps? The elderly and the mentally ill. Target market.

The phone company steals from me every time my DSL fails and I spend an hour on the phone with a tech or by another replacement modem. HTC steals from me every time the USB cable doesn't dock securely in the port. Microsoft steals from me e

I hope your code is compatible with mixed schemas. Otherwise your NoSQL is just moving the problem somewhere harder to test.

The insane part is that a startup has bureaucracy, not that code is in a RDBMS.

I felt the same way for a long time. But you have to ask, to good things happen for you because the world is fair, or because you are a rainmaker, or because you are lucky enough that a rainmaker loves you? My parents were rainmakers, which

Not just rigor. Haskell is very difficult to debug performance issues of, and is hard to use when manage changing state. Haskell shines when used to manage a sophisticated computation of a static result, not a constantly changing dataset. H

Haskell broke the Programming Language Shootout by the compiler and runtime optimizing the busy-loop tasks into no-ops and memoizations. It is hard to write a Haskell program that is gimped enough to be in league with other languages in a s

The corporations' managers cross the line from self-interested to sociopatgic when they pass from enjoying current laws to lobbying (bribing) for new laws to suit heir interests.

Lowering taxes does not stop the military. Spending is one side, taxing is the other. Bills that run up must be paid, or war fought over them. The solution to overspending is to find a way to stop the spending. Regarding old people, as a gr
