I was encouraging the author to not be afraid to reveal that she is a woman. I also find your "women must be helped" attitude offensive.

So you are saying that females are incapable of speaking up for themselves? Perhaps a legion of White Knights should lead the way? Least the feminist movement be lead by a man, if females don't have the resolve to help themselves, then I'd

See I was agreeing with your post up to here, but I can't help but view the cynicism and angst as reflection on your character. >6. Apparently verroq somehow thinks this double standard is fair and "better in the long run", probably bec

That doesn't sound like anything I wrote. Here's a summary of what I wrote. 1. Sometimes people use "he" to refer to unknown gender. 2. Men outnumber women in tech 3. Men make assumptions because they outnumber women. 4. If women want to ma

People have no need to write "he/she" when referring to the author when using "he" is correct 90% of the time. If women really want people to be know them as women then they should make it clear that they are. Hell, the suffragettes perseve

Most of the time people use "he" when they don't know the gender of the author. It's not assuming the author is a man. It's a place-holder word in English.

Learn Haskell to see how things could be done. Don't use Haskell for things that should be done.

One would still need to know the majority of the functions in Prelude write a useful program, and even more to write an elegant program, since they are abstracted as concepts. Where as in an imperative language often learning the syntax is

If anything, functional programming gives you too many ways to achieve the same thing. How many ways can a reasonable programmer write the factorial function imperatively (without using the closed form formula or any dynamic programming). A

I think if he didn't draw the bear picture Carreon wouldn't have taken it personally. Right now this lawyer is representing himself on a rampage against the Oatmeal and charities.

So it seems to me that FunnyJunk trolled the Oatmeal into a legal fight with a lawyer, with one threatening letter. If there is a lesson in this, it is that some humility goes a long way. In his furious stupor with FunnyJunk he attacked the

You only have the type one word correct, and they make sure one word is readable so with some practice you can easily recognise which word is the key-word.

All he did was compare a specific instance where Java's type erasure lead to bad performance. As one commenter has said, using a hashtable specialised for primitives would yield much better results. Then he cherry picks some examples from t
