Some individuals, yes. CEOs are often paid hundreds of millions of dollars, and some VP-level executives at big companies are also worth that kind of money.

I did not know COBOL was functional too :) Out of curiousity, what other criteria would you apply?

To me, as long as functions are first class members, and higher-order functions are possible, I consider a language to be functional. Everything else is a convenience and not a requirement for the functional paradigm. Mind you, I do much pr

It is a proper functional language, just not a "pure" functional language.

It was for me. I don't have bad vision by the way. It's just that I decided not to zoom in this time to experience the website properly. Once I got the the grey colour step, it was clear that the top comment here would be about it

It's still better than no 2FA, which I imagine is the alternative for the vast majority of people.

You are confusing issues. Air quality regulation in the US affects pretty much only the US, and the same goes for China. The issue you are probably referring to is Global Warming ... in which case what the US does still matters a great deal

I actually imagine it does apply to most regular phone calls. Google offers a reverse lookup service in recent versions of Android. It fills in the name of the caller if it's not in your address book. In all honesty though, you are pro

Right, I agree that it depends on the device. A Chevy model I don't recall had the stupidest bug where you sometimes couldn't pair unless you reset the car computer... by leaving the driver's door open for 5 minutes. I don&#x

That's just gratuitously negative and dismissive. Bluetooth 4 is actually not bad at all in my experience. Pairing is painless relative to old versions; sound quality is flawless; connections are quite reliable. The "strain"

What bothers me a lot is their fricking "Cloud Status" page. None of their Google Cloud services are working for me, but the page says everything is operating normally. This is not the first time this has happened either. Their st

I believe that has changed. Q. Other insights from the data you’ve gathered about Google employees? A. One of the things we’ve seen from all our data crunching is that G.P.A.’s are worthless as a criteria for hiring, and test scores are wo

You have to start somewhere. Code optimization is utterly useless if you can't parse code.

Well that's interesting. I haven't seen any Google product host its videos on anything other than YouTube in a very long time. It's strange they chose to host it outside YouTube in this instance.

1. Attribute that quote. 2. This has nothing to do with Linus, and from what I can tell, parent did not deserve it either. Linus hasn't made a fortune off Linux. He could have, but he didn't.

Wow. Thanks for noticing and bringing this to our attention, Matthew. I, for one, am ready to drop my membership and stop supporting the foundation. Not that they care. A single platinum sponsor is worth 5,000 individual "supporters&qu

People who stand to make money off copyright legislation will almost certainly be willing to pitch in more than you are.

That sounds like a great strategy. Thanks for sharing it.

Wow. Thanks for opening my eyes to do that. I was wondering why I would use another package manager.

Ah, fair enough. I assumed the same team was in charge of both.

I'm guessing the current behavior for require is to bubble up the directory structure and look for "node_packages". So resolving things at runtime is already happening. I agree using package.json at runtime is not the best so

I thought about that, but clearly they have enough information to figure out whether to load the package from the top level or a nested directory. (I'm guessing simply by bubbling up and looking for the "node_packages" direc

That's a great improvement over the old behavior, but I'm wondering why the team didn't go a different route. Why not always store packages at the top level, and create a directory for each version that's required? For e
