   And then there's the part where they made someone who is absolutely, positively against the concept of gay people having the same rights as everybody else the figurehead of the organization.

   I imagine what remains of the Mozilla board are having many unscheduled meetings right now.

   Brendan Eich donated $1,000 in support of Prop 8, which made gay marriage illegal in California.

   Sounds like you would like Haskell (which Rust was heavily influenced by.)

   He is sorry like the NSA is sorry you found out what they've been doing. Brendan Eich doesn't just dislike gays getting married. He hates the concept so much he officially donated to prevent it from being possible. I'm sorry,

   This assumes the hardware from one ATM to another varies wildly. This is hardly the case. Thus, driver implementation costs are a very small factor, not the primary one. License restrictions are more likely to make them choose something els

   or they could just run Red Hat... There isn't really anything special about the Windows builds ATMs run. It's all in the ATM software.

    Yes (vulnerabilities rather than exploits, although these disclosures often contained proofs of concept.) It was the de facto standard vehicle for this.

    I'm just being pedantic, but the asynchronous I/O of Haskell isn't really associated with laziness, although it does have lazy I/O (which often is a bad idea.) Go essentially does all the same things (all I/O is asy

    For someone calling me petty and disingenuous, you sure are performing a lot of ad hominem attacks. Here is what you said: "thirsteh's cynicism is misplaced. node.js is effectively predicated on asynchronous implementations, and

    I like the part where you ignored my entire comment and went on believing Node.js was a revolutionary way to write performant programs. The reason I mentioned those languages is that there is essentially no way (short of using the C ABI) to

    I'll wager that you haven't written much Erlang, Go, Haskell, or any other language with transparently asynchronous I/O but blocking semantics. If you have, I don't understand how you can believe my cynicism is misplac

    I will take .NET posts over Node.js ones any day of the week. I feel like I am taking crazy pills whenever somebody celebrates discovering "async performance" in Node.js.

    You could ask "What Linux tools that you use can you not get for Windows?" too, since Windows has Cygwin, Mingw, etc., but it doesn't change that doing a lot of things on Windows or OS X is a lot more painful than on Linux, e

    It's a good thing to let your manager take credit for your work--if you like them. If they don't, all they're left with is the blame when things go wrong. (I find it a little strange to see people in this thread saying they&#

    I'd rather it finish changing, then stabilize, than the other way around. Popularity is not that important.

    And if I use AirBnB legitimately for a while, then decide to do this, then what? It's AirBnB's fault for matchmaking? That seems similar to blaming Google Search, not the site itself, for returning a site that has ranked well for

    I'm struggling to understand how this is AirBnB's fault? Do we expect them to detect when people are lying?
