People say that. But it's totally misguided IME. You're talking about scalaz. Normal Scala code has fewer symbols than Ruby aside from function lifting (the underscore). In fact, you've got Generics (square braces), curly bra

Having gone back and forth myself a half dozen times, (and sticking with iPhone this time), the thing I miss the most on Android is iMessages. Sending full photos and videos is really nice and I just appreciate the simplicity of the interfa

If you're an all-Mac home, what's the appeal of buying outside that ecosystem? I'd have to get used to Windows again. I would have a very non "native" experience to the content the rest of my devices share naturally

The Apple Keyboard is worth it alone IMO. I've had most versions of previous iPads, and I've spent hundreds and hundreds on keyboards that are generally: Too Heavy, MicroUSB, non-Mac layout or otherwise flawed. The down-stroke on

Back when TDD started, it was often referred to as Test Driven DESIGN by the same people you cite. I do it, and I find it valuable. But I think if you're not using it as a design tool, you're missing most of the benefit. You don&#

This is the first time I've ever seen this usage. It would be helpful if instead of snark, you responded with an actual explanation. Especially since a quick search of "real time javascript framework" doesn't return one.

I bought an HP M252dw Color Laserjet supporting WiFi and AirPrint off Amazon for $230 last year. It replaced a Konica Minolta color laser I'd had for several years that ran out of toner (that one was $120 IIRC). I didn't have to r

I'm not challenged in the same way someone making $30k a year is. They're not challenged at that level. They're just stressed, poor and have a lower overall quality of life. The only real challenge in my life is to keep some

Scala code will generally have a slightly lower LoC than Ruby IMO. Maybe 20% overall typically. And the lines will be longer. Ruby forces new lines for many expressions that Scala doesn't. (Think class with accessors vs a typical case

It weighs less than comparable modern cars (my S80 weighed 4400lbs IIRC, my truck weighs 7,200 and my wife's van is about 5,500) at 3,900lbs. Check out the ~30mph crash test footage: http://youtu.be/8ye-EIymm2k There&#

I totally buy the environmental impact argument on keeping that Mercedes vs buying the Tesla. That isn't the only concern though. In a high speed collision against a modern 5-Star vehicle the people in the Mercedes are pretty much toas

For development purposes, it seems like head-count per-project is a more useful metric? My impression from a past life was that even large companies didn't frequently staff hundreds of developers on the same project. Even if they might

You're voting for a leader. Not a checklist. CA politics seems to have trouble with referendums. I want the President to feel like they have a duty to make unpopular decisions sometimes.

It's absolutely very uncommon to have a single collection of several million in the languages I mentioned in the web-app space IME. Anyways, that's my experience with Ruby. Since each allocation (at the time) took 23 bytes of memo

I get what you're saying. But I think there's a limit. IME there are platforms (Ruby, JS, others) that have such high method dispatch overhead that the fastest "algorithm" is generally the one with the smallest stack-tra

Can you produce a car without oil? Especially one containing a large battery pack? Last guess I read put it around 350 barrels for a family sedan. I don't know how much of that is plastics, smelting, and other materials and how much is

I think your original point was way off base. "Signalling" certainly sounds a lot more loaded than seems reasonable. I'm not even sure what exactly you're trying to say with that, but it certainly doesn't seem very

That's a BS comment. Of course it isn't. It did counter the "I didn't realize he was black until halfway through" however. I think most reasonable readers assumed he was black pretty early on.

It's a long road to the Supreme Court. You can crush a lot of dissent and ruin a lot of lives on the way. And if they decide to hear your case, it's entirely possible that they won't even address the primary complaint, inst
