None of his achievements as an entrepreneur give him insights into philosophy, political economy or anything else he writes on. It's pretty creepy calling people "intellectuals" if they babble on about "political econo

Talking of bankruptcy in that context is a nonsense introduced by politicians intent on doing away with it for ideological reasons. And that comment is a perfect example why we still have people on HN saying things like "free" h

And, to make it even more unusual, it's coming from the left, the very people who used to love issuing IDs, numbers, and whose intellectual and ideological predecessors set up most of those schemes. You're right. "Let me s

Great. I hope Microsoft goes after Google even more. SkyDrive blows away GDrive. Windows tablets are coming into their own right, while Android is pretty much "meh" these days. Google flails away aimlessly with their chromeOS s

This is what you get when people keep on voting in big government types all in the name of safety, security and social justice.

The approach they're taking is likely the correct approach for the "future" - we should be designing languages and approaches to coincide with the ability to tool them. Unfortunately, we still have many in the PL community

That's just a flat out lie.

Because that takes too much strategic thinking for these spastic, greedy bureaucrats.

And what kind of story would you prefer? I always find these "....., but" in comments about N. Korean stories very interesting.

A Scala guy who has to deal with SBT is complaining Leiningen? Seriously?

Not surprised by this comment. Scala has the most bitter community I've ever seen. Contrast that to the Clojure community

Despite the "kumbaya, we're functional brothers...we all win", I know for fact (very reliable sources) that the Typesafe guys absolutely hate the traction that Clojure is getting, especially that they need to get a ROI on the

C# is held back by windows "The enterprise" (for the most part) isn't held back by Windows. That's just reality.

I'm starting to think that the ROI on "learn Haskell and/or Clojure to expand your horizons" isn't there, even though I hate mainstream/modern OO so those languages would fit my mindset.

First off, popularity of a language shouldn't be as important as you seem to make it in starting a project Very wrong. There are languages that I believe I would be very productive in, but can't justify the time investment beca

This might sound like a weird question that I don't expect to be answered, but I was wondering "what side" these guys are on? I'm not making a judgement for one side or the other, because I think there are bad actors on

But today, Android has huge market momentum, so a phone vendor switching off it would be abandoning most of the available customers, something they are extremely reluctant to do Wrong, consumers aren't attached to phone OS's lik
