The lower the standard of your team, the more you will appreciate idiomatic code. I don't work in SV, blue chips, or anywhere that could use Scala. A couple of us at my last place had a hard time moving the team from Source Safe to S

I was thinking this comment sounds a bit alarmist and paranoid, and Alex Jones came to mind. Lo and behold, you mentioned von Mises. Racism and fascism are not equivalent to the holocaust. Even apartheid era South Africa was not equivale

That presumably also explains why this post has rapidly vanished off the front page, unlike the cats in boxes story. I know, someone will tell me it's algorithmic. Indiscriminate down votes have to be met with indiscriminate up votes.

I meant what is the reason, but the comment history does have a lot of down votes. I'd search through them for a reason, but that could a while.

I have no interest in ball games. I enjoy Formula 1, some MotoGp, and some some cycling. My interest in Formula 1 used to be primarily strategy, but not anymore and I'm not sure when it changed - maybe refuelling, or moving everyone o

Not even industrial chemicals - colgate plax mouthwash causes my tongue to develop weird flat patches within a day of a single use. Takes two weeks to clear up. There was a Bloomberg article not too long ago about them using, iirc, triclo

I'm not Italian. My opinion of Italy is not great, but not because of ordinary Italians speaking badly of it, rather because of the likes of Berlusconi. People voted for him!? It matches my experiences there, such as being unable to
