It's out being almost as successful as Perl6 and Python3 :-) e: Actually wasn't there a blog post posted to HN suggesting Perl skip to 7 too?

I saw it immediately but I can see how that can happen. On the web, an underline doesn't quite scream "input" as much as a white rectangle with a border does.

I would love it if instead of quitting my program with an error, it just went ahead and called the method it thinks I'm referring to. This would remove a lot of unneeded friction from web development.

I think you can switch panes with C-x C-o, same as the Emacs combo.

Not exactly but sort of. Think of the effect the caricatures have. Caricatures that are punching up (making fun of rich people, tech geeks, etc) affect people in a way different way than caricatures that are punching down (making fun of the

You're really comparing mocking one of the most privileged groups you could possibly mock... with blackface. Seriously? You are exactly the kind of person that motivated Mike Judge to create this show.

I find it hard to believe you've given your opinions on it much thought or research. Oscar Wilde nor any actual socialist advocates for crony capitalism/corporatism.

- The study of ethics is inherently valuable. Regardless of what other studies tell us about "what to do" or "how to do it", we must assign some value or priority to our actions. You could try to use the findings of an

Sorry, never mind, he's perfectly right. Philosophy has been a waste of time since Socrates and it's provided nothing of value that you can't learn from functional programming and/or starting a business in Silicon valley

Did you read what I'm criticizing? You mustn't have if you're saying I'm "unable to do it myself". How is this quote any more coherent or well-structured or less snarky than my comment was? "Books on philo

I would care if they were present. But I have no positive evidence that my computer is infected by any of that. I don't need to manually scan through C code to feel safe. Just like I don't have to watch my food being prepared to b

Oh my god are developers pompous. So, the problem with Hegel is that he didn't study LISP and startups enough to understand his own thought. If only he were alive to ask for Paul Graham's help! OK my turn! I'm going to post o

Not that my own comment here is helping anything. I'm just weirded out by the fact that people aren't being critical of these empty echo-chamber posts that keep popping up. They make this place feel like it's just reddit&#x27

This reads like an essay from a freshman poli-sci class. The only unique thing about this post is the lame humblebrag or whatever about the author playing videogames with Snowden. But of course it's besides the point. It's so irre

Actually I'm sure the NSA is perfectly A-OK with techies, rather than getting involved politically and using their knowledge to mobilize the non-tech-savvy, instead expending their limited energy and time on weird slacktivism antics.

This is why it's important to look at PRISM as a political issue and not merely a technical one, like I see a ton of people doing now. The best solution to government spying isn't to tell everyone to use Linux and DuckDuckGo, it&#
