atheism is dumb, whoever thought that opposing a metaphysical concept that lies way too close to the heart of those who believe in it was a good idea to curb religious influence wasn't on their brightest day. Determining the lack of ev

I think LSD gives you that feeling of unity, that everything makes sense, and so, yes, you may feel enlightened by trivial stuff. I don't think LSD puts ideas in your head, it just gives you a different perspective over the stuff that&

Popularity is King. Even if the Python solution is vastly superior, there is significantly more people who know or want to learn Javascript, so if your game is to sell stuff, it's only reasonable to pick the bigger market, and the kind

I didn't like Elixir's syntax at first and I like Erlang's syntax, but Elixir is a lot more than "Erlang in rubyesque syntax" it's a brand. Elixir is a well-thought ecosystem designed by professional developers

well if you're going into it to stop smoking then yes, but if you're a kid trying out a new toy then probably not, also as it's pretty much a gadget people switch devices, settings and liquids all the time, new is fun.

I think it can't be reduced to that, I think a more important aspect is expressiveness, which isn't exactly terseness, I think some historical memory is pertinent here as even classic "blub" languages such as java have a

eh, it seems you got it backwards, pg's main point seem to me to be productiveness, he even talks about python being one of the best(lispier) of the mainstream languages, so in that context python would be more powerful than asm and no

Clearly I'm at fault here, my comment was pure garbage, I'm sorry(I'm not being sarcastic). But I think there's a valid point there amid the nonsense, I see a qualitative difference between natural selection such as the

Well, yes there is a difference, evolution works by natural selection since nature is incredibly smart and the only changes that get actualized are those that are beneficial for survival and reproduction and those that do not hinder it. Art

Those were two separate points, I should have used a linebreak there in retrospect. My point was that if you look at the changes and new features, all of it seems to me as stuff that improves core functionality, there's no feature cree

Yay for webpack as default. My perception of phoenix is not only that it is the best in class but that it also keeps getting better instead of bloated.

It is also incredibly painful when your conscience and your actual means to achieve what you can conceive are way too far apart, and one of your addictions is to actualize your conscience further neglecting whatever little improvements you

My guess is that the West is trying to copy the East(China), and by that I mean that we are gonna see the rise of extremist governments that will pass as an answer to extremist groups but whose real interest lies in the ultra-efficient &qu

in Brazil it's actually subtracted, if your stock is worth a dollar and you receive a cent of dividend the stock will be priced at 99 cents. Like, it's as if the dividend money you receive is actually a part of the stock you own.

Well you got a point, indeed the actual community is really nice at a personal level, I was talking about the image of the language you get from advocates you see on random discussion boards and blogs posts, so my use of the term "comm

Everyone here seems to love Postgres and hate on Mongo, I have no technical knowledge to compare the two, so IMO a lot of that love and hate is more towards the "project attitude", MongoDB is a suit, a sellout, with bullshit marke

I think Haskell is a beautiful language, but it's community seems too elitist and pedantic, which from my perspective makes people value sophistication and "elegance" over readability and ease of comprehension. I'd reco

Works from english to portuguese in google, maybe because they have more data? Considering this example alone, the logical difference between english/spanish and english/portuguese are pretty much the same: gender is made explicit

Copying in front-end design is not exactly a bad thing, software interface isn't supposed to be a work of art and as web software have similar patterns, it can be good UX to copy since you'll be using conventions your potential us
