While I think you're doing injustice to the haskell community, I think it's quite interesting that I personally quite frequently stumble over relevant tools that are written in go -- e.g. syncthing. The only haskell-based app I us

I think the problem here (and many critics) is that you read Foucault without taking into account the context of his work. Foucault was an active/socially commited philosopher who actively tried to do something to make things better. A

The most remarkable thing is that I don't see anything -- even with javascript enabled. Must be the ad blocker or something. Why can't a landing page have any kind of fallback plain html page?

I beg to differ. Sometimes things need to settle down or you have to gain some distance. This can take months or even years. If you don't have an external deadline, you can afford finishing things when you are actually ready for it.

There is https://arewee10syet.com/ ... ~ 85% unknown (and that's compatibility with e10s, not with web extensions).

Because the required APIs don't exist maybe?

They should conduct a survey how many add-ons will stop working, won't be ported to web extensions, and thus how many users they'll lose -- probably not that many because the majority most likely doesn't use add-ons but those

All add-ons are vetted by amo reviewers -- unless explicitly stated otherwise. That's no argument pro web extensions.

While forth can be quite elegant at times and I have fond memories of using Mops, I wish modern forth dialects were statically type checked.

Why should an article about common lisp mention a clojure library? Because of the parentheses?

I don't understand the downvotes since that's about the official stance of the go team -- see the FAQ (cited somewhere else). Agree with it or not.

Might be relevant: https://golang.org/doc/faq#variant_types Sometimes one wishes people from the go time would have spent some time hacking ML-derived languages.

Are there any educated, rich people with a healthy lifestyle living within 200 m of a busy road around? I would be interested in your stance on this.

I'm running linux on my laptops for decades and experienced none of the problems you mentioned. Everything works flawlessly. If you plan to run linux on your laptop, you will have to research first how well the computer is supported. Y

Funny, I thought it had happened before in the ruby world with the switch from ruby 1.8 to 1.9 and the pythonists simply followed suit.

I don't think we know yet what the mind is. In every time, people have some theory about it that is informed by the major scientific breakthroughs and ideologies of that time that get generalized beyond recognition. One hundred years l

It can be a nuisance. Searching eg for R go interoperability yields interesting results. Adding "statistics" usually gives reasonable results. But there is also rseek.org

If you consider SPSS as an alternative, you'll probably really have no use for R. I agree that Python is more approachable for people with a CS background (unless your fan of array processing languages) but R actually is a nice languag

Markdown is quirk mode plain text. That was probably ok for its original purpose but it is not for what it is used nowadays. There are much better plain text like formats around and it's a shame markdown is in the position it is now. I

To be fair, these are error messages from one nonstandard library (which works great under Windows BTW) on an OS that doesn't natively use ODBC (does it?) -- and I guess some another 3rd party shared lib not under the control of the au

I'd rather bet on scala or f#.

What kind of incomprehensible error messages do you get from R?

by stewbrew 10y ago
It's somehow funny to mention a scala-based solution as a strength of Python. Why not use Java/Scala directly along with R?

You cited Gigerenzer, Neyman, Pearson as if they opposed the concept of power. Fisher might be in a different boat but he also claimed that smoking doesn't cause lung cancer, so he probably wasn't always right. :-) Sample size, ef
