I would actually pick Go. Yes, the strong static typing is a pain in the ass, but the rules are simple and regular. It's easy to understand and implement. The same cannot be said for the multitude of changes to Python.

In all likelihood, that's exactly what happened: The FBI, or some other US agency illegally obtained information from the MU servers without a warrant. They ordered the raid to seize information that could be used to prove the crime

I'll be the first to say it: Your data is either incorrect, arbitrary, or we're missing some information here. Why does everyone have "7.5" - 8 siblings and 7.5 - 8 "weekly workouts" and 7.5 - 8 platinum albums

78.75%? That's great news! I imagined a lot of people would be using mobile and I know that Safari iOS doesn't support SPDY. Does this mean that > 80% of users are browsing on desktops, or is it possible there's a mobile

Except that your costs go up as well. There will be an added tax burden, for one. Since only one in three Americans works, you'll have to pay for a lot of taxes. Then you've got to buy the flour. Your next door neighbor didn&#

They're not contradictory: Prices for basic necessities such as food and housing would rise, causing an increase in inflation. Meanwhile, spending for luxuries would see a contraction as additional tax burdens shrink discretionary spe

Yes, but once you give everybody $X,000 dollars per month you'll spur inflation and in a couple years $X,000 will no longer be enough to live on. So then you've got to adjust your basic income to $(X+Y),000 per month to make sure

Entirely misses the point. The original document was discussing the problem of text normalization, which still remains. If I have a database of employee bios and I write an app so HR can search that database, it's no problem for them

I am SO sick of spending more time configuring the CMS than writing code. Oftentimes, I could've built a product from scratch in the time it takes me to Google the undocumented quirks of some stupid YAML file.

And I have a habit of just putting in headphones with no music if I want to be left alone...

It may not be for everyone, but for people like me it really boosts productivity. The last office I worked in was a massive open-office in a warehouse which sounds just miserable, but it was great. If I ever had a question, I could just l
