It may be a deliberate move to allow one later to expand into advice about men for women without charging the brand name.

ATS' type system looks particularly intimidating. Do you know of any company that uses it for RESTful services? What I think makes Go attractive is not just the static typing but a combination of C-like syntax, GC, a simple type system

Swift looks a bit like "Go++" to me, at least on a purely syntactic level. I expect Apple to open source it sooner rather than later, at which point it will become a viable option to develop web-based services in.

I think gweinberg had in mind the sort of situation in which saying you hold a heretical opinion brings a punishment that would not be offset by you being recognized as a superior expert later. This creates an incentive to lie.

Just to be clear, I didn't mean the price point of the parts if you bought them separately and assembled them yourself. (My bet is they'd cost you more that way, if only because of the shipping/gas expenses.) What I meant was

I don't think xkcd is a good example of practice making perfect. Many former xkcd fans think that the average xkcd comic became noticeable less funny somewhere in the low to mid hundreds. Part of it was the novelty being gone but part,
