I'm happy to hear there's FINALLY a book that goes into performance and data structures. I'm going to have to read this book after I'm done with my current one.

I read Learn You a Haskell but it seems to only cover beginning topics of Haskell. However I don't really recall much being made for intermediate or advanced Haskellers? At least I looked, hoping to learn more but didn't find anyt

I think most people would argue that it's useful when you want your code to be very maintainable or stable. I think right now the lack of educational materials and overall difficulty of learning it make it impractical for industry use

In fairness, some people are just more interested in the technical side of things than the product side.

It seems like a recurring theme in these "scandals" is that if you put too much pressure on your executives, they end up either quitting or doing something they shouldn't be doing in order to keep up with your demands. Anothe

GOP FUD? Doesn't the GOP support big contributions by corporations? If anything it should be "Sanders FUD"?

> It isn't, though. My point is that sticking chains on one line makes it difficult to read as well as debug the various bits and pieces that all rest on a single line. The thing is, if you want to split the line into multiple lines

I don't disagree with you; you certainly don't need wealth and fame to work on what you want, but it sure does enable you to do so. From what I know about him, he was fortunate to land in a position where he could thrive. That&#x2

To be fair I don't think it's fair to compare yourself to him in terms of being burned out. I'm sure he's wealthy and famous enough to get to work on whatever he wants to, whereas most people have to work for a living. I

Only slightly related but even Amazon isn't on HTTPS, which I find to be a much bigger issue since they deal with credit cards

Flash wasn't even supported on iOS. I'd argue that was huge in killing off Flash, since anybody who wanted to make their site work on mobile could no longer use Flash.

I don't know for sure since I didn't design the course, but I imagine this goes more in depth than your normal undergraduate distributed systems course. At the very least, I don't remember having to read any papers in my cour

I suspect it's not true. I've had several courses where the instructors had to slow down because students were complaining that things were moving too fast or they were too difficult. I can't say I know for sure but I imagine

I don't know how old you are, but I have a similar experience level with the person you're responding to and I think I and many of my peers relate in some ways. I think the parts he said about getting rich are a bit silly; that&#x

While I agree with many of your feelings, I think you should try to think of this in a more positive way. Many other people go into med school without really having any professional experience at all or knowing what they are signing up for.

Why not just switch? Is it too late? You can always take out loans if it's money; that's what most people would have to do anyway I imagine.

I'm not sure that papers being theoretical means that they're less rigorous. You could argue the opposite as well; they're more rigorous if you prove strict upper bounds whereas practical papers just require you to implement

I completely agree with you. It seems to me that we should be giving people the tools they need to better their lives, and if they muck it up, our conscience can remain clear. Of course, there is something to be said about mental issues peo

They only have a few developers, so it's really not a big deal. I think they only have 2 or 3, including the CEO who, obviously, has a lot of other things to do than write code. Being as the size of the team is so dependent on a small

Sounds great but they don't mention anything about drivers? Does that mean we still won't get vendor supported open source drivers?

Well, at least the languages you use stay pretty much the same? Javascript, HTML, and CSS are always going to be there. Although.. I suppose that could be considered both good and bad..
