   @pcwalton Thanks! quite interesting use case for Rust. May I ask you - was it your side project or did you actually work on this at the office?

   Slight off-topic, Matt, is there any possibility you would make your class notes for "Programming language analysis"[1] available? Currently it is behind the authentication wall. [1] http://matt.might.net/teaching/spring-2009-programming-l

   I personally don't get whole this tip tradition - just give me the check stating the exact amount I have to pay. And give the appropriate salary to the wait{er|ress}.

   But after 50%+ taxes, take home amount is quite low compared to US, right?

   Or maybe for black listing? i.e. filter out those persons who are extremely naive and/or who overestimate their abilities.

   His editor (Acme) doesn't support syntax highlighting, so his only choice (without abandoning Acme) is to call this an unimportant juvenile ;) You should really take it with a grain of salt.

    I wouldn't say so. Some books indeed skip some "real-world" details, but that doesn't affect idiomatic C, which is already performance friendly.

    My impression is that, while it is possible to come up with a performance oriented Haskell code, it becomes quite ugly and diverges from those beautiful and idiomatic examples found in books. E.g. explicit strictness specifications, real qu

    Yes, but instead of 20 years, couple of months or a year could help with changing mind.

    Yes, but even for the real money, I think it is too much. For comparison, this guy[1] shot 77 people, but he was sentenced only "21 years and a minimum of 10 years" and he will spend this period in a luxury prison of Norway. [1] http://en.

    Did you try experimenting with monetization ways on magicscroll? Good luck with getting hired!

    If it is feasible for you, go to a better school. If you want to experience a "real world" taste - you can do that by part-time freelancing.

    There is one interesting observation from my experience - the less developed (or even banana) the country is, the more (or exclusive, for banana countries) demand is for PHP/ASP.NET/J2EE etc Web/CRUD stuff. On the other hand, in more develo

    You should definitely add some short video or other type of media to quickly showcase the whole process.

    Sure, it is not about giving back vs not giving back - it is about _amount_ you give back. For some people it is 20% and for others - 75%.

    Well, in your previous comment, you pointed out that paying high taxes is not an altruism, but just a deal/agreement with your government. So, at some stage you might be comfortable with the conditions agreed, but you might also get to anot

    Do not wanting to pay 45m out of 100m (or even less) is not a greed, it is a common sense.

    When a company declares some language X as a replacement for C/C++, X actually becomes replacement, or to be more precise, attracts engineers from some other language L, but C/C++ stays in place :)

    Then I guess this won't affect The Beatles's "Eleanor Rigby" (stereo variant).
