Go has absolutely no claim to being C's successor. It is useless for all the things it makes sense to use C for. That's why it has attracted virtually no C programmers. Go is python's successor if user influx is anything t

You explicitly stated that any variation from a random distribution must be due to factors other than individual agency. But of course, you know that. How does someone whose posting history is almost entirely blatant trolling like that no

Shit, I guess I must have been sick the day we covered "men and women are statistically identical in all choices they make". Was that in calculus?

>Individual agency en masse should be a random distribution What are you basing that assumption on? You are 100% certain that there is no possible way that men and women could have different preferences, priorities or interests?

So live in Mississauga? It is the nicest place anywhere near Toronto anyways. Also you missed Toronto itself which has tons of tech jobs, and richmond hill/markham which absolutely dwarfs Waterloo's imaginary tech industry.

If you don't want to learn haskell then don't. It is the weird insistence on making up ridiculous excuses that I have a problem with. Making up a strawman version of "the haskell community" is entirely unnecessary. On

I'm always baffled by these kinds of statements. I learned ocaml first, so haskell wasn't too big a leap for me. But I did get to watch my wife go through the process of learning haskell, and she didn't have any more proble

I have "tried it & stopped". I only tried it to check out webmachine, which appears to the be only web framework in existence that is not stupid and terrible. I stopped because I was done trying webmachine, and went back to

I am aware of that quote. And that is precisely my point, he is talking about premature optimization, not optimization. What could possibly make you think that the questions in this quiz are examples of premature optimization?

38.2% of people got 4/5 or 5/5 questions right. That is amazing. I never would have guessed anywhere even close to that. I would have figured it would be around 15% or so given that guessing randomly would put it at 12.5%. I g

But it in no way ensures they stay relevant. It is literally just blindly flailing around buying anything that gets a lot of users out of fear and having no idea how to maintain their position.

No, you have taken a "stick my head in the sand and pretend the last 30 years of progress didn't happen" and repeating it without understanding. I do web development in haskell. I have thousands of concurrent connections to

Assuming multiple application servers despite 99.9999% websites not needing them doesn't make much sense.
