What happened to procrastination and laziness? To say nothing of impatience and hubris.

Bearing in mind that you haven't said anything else at all about either program, I'd have to say yes, absolutely meaningless.

Yeah, but, if you can't rely on tail-call optimization, you can't really use recursion and expect your code to handle any arbitrary amount of data that's thrown at it. To write robust code, you're forced to use iteration instead. The differ

in most cases, a government simply does, what the people allow it to do. Sadly, people can be persuaded to allow all manner of things, if they're led to believe that their way of life is under threat. Thomas Jefferson put it better than I

The UN is the worst institution we have for advancing international human rights, except for all the others.

Health care is not a human right. You may want to read Article 25.1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights before reconsidering that statement. Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being o

Live and let live works for me too. I'm happy to offer other people advice, what they do with that advice is up to them. On the flip side, I'm going to live my life how I want, regardless of other people's opinions. As you point out, life's

Maybe it's just me, but I like doing it this way in Ruby: 100.times { puts "Ruby" } Not that there's anything wrong with your approach, but I just like the way that my code reads almost like English.

What if you just want to chill and watch TV all day? If that's what you want to do, that's what you should do. But I'm not sure I'd recommend it. Imagine replacing "watch TV" with "gamble on horses" or "drink beer". I kind of wish you'd s

Learn to fail privately, quickly and cheaply? ;) Less flippantly, if you don't do something because you think you won't succeed, then there's no chance of you succeeding. If you try something, don't succeed, learn from the experience and tr

Hey, you've got all the time in the world. If you never put yourself in a position where you can fail, you can't ever grow.

For example if you spend months studying only to fail a course there is no one to blame but you. In that situation, I think you should retake the course at the first opportunity, and keep retaking it until you pass. There's a difference b
