   Killing cows is as wrong as killing any other sentient being that doesn't want to die. There's nothing irrational about it.

   Please don't say things like that. I know chickens that care very much about their own lives and the chickens they live with. They do not want to be killed.

   Thank you! Your project was helpful to skim through. Do you have any additions to the web-project-bootstrap.rkt project? BTW, this is what I mean by form bindings being confusing: according to the docs, request-bindings is dangerous and sho

   I felt the same way, Racket is ridiculously fun to use! :)

   I haven't written any big projects in Racket, so I can't say how it fares on real-world projects with real-world data, but here are the results for a very minimal Racket project using ApacheBench: ~ $ ab -n 100 -c 10 " http:&

   This is very useful. I'm in the middle of a Racket web project right now and I got hung up on parsing/processing form data. The Racket docs are very thorough, but they can be confusing if you don't know what you're looki

    You do not need to be in college to study CS. If that is really what you want to do, you should make a point to start now.

    I understand what you're saying, requiring SSL doesn't seem like too much of a burden superficially. But it's magnitudes harder and more frustration inducing than simply buying a domain. My website is protected by the cheapes

    You're right. I was under the impression that Microsoft had bought Xaramin.

    I should be happy about this -- who wouldn't want the entire web to be encrypted -- but SSL is so broken for normal people. SSL is expensive (wildcard certificates run $70 a year and up), confusing (how does one pick between the 200

    What you're saying is correct, MIT vs GPL is irrelevant if Microsoft owns the whole copyright to the project. Contributors to .NET need to assign their copyright to the .NET Foundation ( http://www.dotnetfoundation.org/f

    You'd have to delay 1.0 by more than a few weeks -- making mem::forget unsafe means marking all memory leaks as unsafe, which is unsolvable.

    You have the right to your own feelings, and I agree that the title may be off putting. The audience for the article is rust core contributors and rust fans, and they're a very informal bunch. If rusters are like similar communities I

    I think Pre-Poop Your Pants is a really clever way to package the core idea. I agree that the article is well crafted, and I don't think it's childish to talk about poop in this context.

    I don't think any of those approaches are the fault of HR. If you have a system where companies will pay more money for a new employee than to retain an old employee, then employee churn naturally follows from that.

    I do not have an answer to the question of whether experimenting on nonhuman animals can be justified out of necessity. I have some thoughts, though: Assume that in the near future, we give nonhuman animals the same moral value as humans. A

    In recent history, we have recognized the moral significance of groups that have less power. This has happened (and is currently happening) for black people (and people of color in general), children, women, LGBTQ people, animals that are &

    100 years from now, we will look back on the experiments performed on nonhuman animals with the same disgust that we have for the experiments performed on humans by the Nazis. "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward
