Finland & outside the capital. Ok, we have some, but I wouldn't count on those on getting me anything else but very cheap alcohol.

We don't have those. Do you think it might be related to my dilemma? :-P

I think it's just precious that he does not even understand the question.

Where the hell does one who has no connections get some? I don't live in America, however, there must be some basic strategies that work everywhere, right?

They're now collectively turning down something. That's not something they should be allowed to do, given that they control a lot when it comes to moving money. It puts a consumer in a position where he has no choice.

"First, realize - and I think you do already - that the days of the software tester are over." That's not quite true. Outsourcing testing work is much safer for western companies than outsourcing more demanding work.

Also, we heavily share code and data between applications with symlinks. Symlink handling (especially the interpretation of ..) is different in all ruby-1.8, ruby-1.9 and jruby. Makes the whole ecosystem smell like different ghettos. Perhap

Does your app have i18n?

Is there a measurable benefit compared to having the OS stack there? I suppose none of the POSIX stuff are there, right?

People use ruby-1.8 because nothing works against ruby-1.9. And by 'nothing' I mean not rails 2.3.

Also, the colon in python's syntax is one of its most important and often disregarded features. It gives such a simple and efficient cue that a new block is.

Uhh, I don't see that in the Haskell 2011 standard, even as a suggestion. It would be great, though.

I was given a task to finish a webshop with online payments and hotel room reservations for a spa in 1996ish. It was started in perl, though I moved it to PHP a bit later. I was 16 and was doing an actual summer job at the time (hard labour

I wrote a pure Haskell solution that implements a messaging middleware from a proprietary legacy DB system to a network for activating mobile devices. It was my first real Haskell project, and although I had lots and lots of book knowledge

ghc is the only industrially viable choice at the moment, though.

Exactly my point: OS X seems to suffer from the Windows Effect as well.

"Usually my machines start getting sluggish after a few months for some reason..." The Windows effect. Doesn't seem to happen in Linux...

Are you relatively young? Don't burn yourself out. If I can manage 10 hours per week, I consider the week highly successful.

What the hell is this? I think we should seriously think this web thing over.

"I do wish, though, there was more willingness in the OSS community to push the boundaries of UI..." We kinda did: http://www.suckless.org Sometimes you have to move backwards to move forwards...

The answer in HN's context should be obvious: It is 'evil' because these techniques have nothing to do with making a superior product, and it is 'evil' because it puts newcomers to a market into an inferior position: they don't have the res

I'd like to see the defenders of dynamic linking who claimed that it's good for security step up now :-)

Also, the language choice might lead one to a slippery slide of platform choice which easily slips into trapping you in an architecture you really did not want.

"Piracy" is how things work from now on (where "now" is about 1980's), and the change is quite similar to every other technological revolution. There will be opposition to it, but all the countermoves against it are just totally pointless s

No stack traces in ghc yet (perhaps ever?), though.

I'm amazed, positively. I wouldn't have thought they would be taking the users' privacy so seriously.
