The assumption holds. She is acting in her own fiscal self-interest, and she acted in that way earlier when she didn't complain about having some of her paycheck get dumped into EI (Employment Insurance). It was an invest made and holy shit

She was working for how many years? How much money did she put into EI (Employment Insurance)? You've forgotten how much it hurts to fall! Unbelievable. I bet you also think that EI cuts into your paycheck. That would be irrational.

The thinking is, if you can afford food, the Internet, rent, BOOKS, MOVIES, etc. then you most certainly can afford to pay for a subscription or for one article. Myself, I'm not going to pay for the Wall Street Journal but I will pay for

They can spin this easily. Google is showing porn images in their search results or some other bullshit story. They would do that, and it would make their local search engine Baidu look very good in comparison. They could also spin it as Go

If it's an attack done by the Chinese government, then Google's withdrawal from the country would be welcome by them. It would increase the market share of Baidu, the local Chinese-based earch engine. It is time the world stands up to Chin

Baidu, the Chinese search engine, has a little over double the market share of Google. If Google leaves, Baidu wins. Also, just because someone else has done something, doesn't mean you too should do it. The potential for business should be

They shouldn't have even opened an office in China. What the heck did they expect to happen?

Some "open source" software also charges a fee. It's Free as in speech, not free as in price.

Then the Wufoo example is mistated in the blog. The feedback was useful for deciding on interface changes but not useful for deciding on platform/technology changes which is what it seems to imply. So I'll change what I said...It shouldn't

Is that an appeal to authority I hear? I haven't worked on a product that has shipped in the last 12 months but I have worked with several programming languages and have read some Dijkstra and have done some literate programming, and have g

Language bashing = pointing out flaws in notation. If you think of programming as math, then you need the best notation so that you can solve your problem more easily. It's unfortunate that language creation with custom syntax isn't easy.

The Wufoo example is awful. Shouldn't have taken more than 5 min for them to realize, "HEY the Flash experience on GNU/Linux sucks! Maybe we shouldn't use it so that we can have more customers use the thing!" Those 3 versions of GMail could

Most people's code is "dirty" because they aren't thinking clearly enough about the problem. Many problems could be avoided if people thought before they wrote a line of code instead of trying to write as many lines of code as possible. Qua

You're trying to say that your fellow citizens who have a job should get less than a living wage? What would would you do with the extra few bucks that comes back if their salaries fall? Buy another chocolate bar or something? Fuck me. You'

So he did more work and didn't even get much praise for it? Wtf is the point of working hard on a tool that saves some money when you won't see a penny of it?

Because web design sucks. Dealing with HTML and CSS directly is like dealing with assembly language. With print design you know exactly what you have to work with. With web design, you're designing for a multitude of browsers and clients.

This is good. I was thinking about how to make this program. Just write the correct program and then look for the innocent-looking spots and insert the malicious code there.

Let's use a word other than minimalism and perhaps the confusion will be removed. >It is an aesthetic ideal for the end product where what can be eliminated is eliminated. That's part of what elegance is.

HTML isn't meant to be written directly. It's an output form, like Postscript or PDF.

* I love unit tests for the freedom it give me later* I'm curious, what freedom is that? I'm not sure I've heard anyone else say that about unit-testing.

Both the fib and prime factor examples are shit. The tests are individual cases which is treating the input as a Cartesian product (a point on a line since these are single-variable functions). What you want are sets. The inputs for both ar

The reverse is true. Just modify the language. I don't see why people are insisting on this "purity" in approaches. It's obviously leading to difficulties.

The pure vs. impure stuff is a red herring. It's meant to throw you off the scientific trail. If there are merits to the FP approach, as there are, then one or two drawbacks in a few of the languages aren't a problem. If there are multiple
