Yeah I noticed, thanks for the heads up. I guess this is why there are no usernames left.
This is what I find really fascinating about openbsd. For no apparent reason, people like darklajid here feign offense at anything and everything just so they can say "openbsd sucks cause they are all jerks and I won't…
Except that NetBSD consistently outperforms FreeBSD. So does DragonflyBSD. FreeBSD is pretty much just "the popular one linux people try out for a day".
Not only is chasing fads a waste of time, but his perception of node is frankly rather bizarre. The node fad is already over. It isn't gaining steam. Mongo is on its way out, it is the mysql of the nosql world and…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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. Once…
>The fact that there is so much maths talk surrounding Haskell really doesn't help Nor does it hurt. It only provides something for people to point to while they say "look, people are talking about something I am not…
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…
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…
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…
>That wasn't what I suggested at all Obviously I can't tell what you meant to say, but it is what you did say. "If your thirteen year old technology choices are still having an impact today, then you're doing the wrong…
>These are premature optimization tweaks How can you apply a blanket "premature" to this? The questions are simply "can this be improved?". There's nothing premature about it, it is a quiz.
>Honestly, if your thirteen year old technology choices are still having an impact today, then you're doing the wrong thing regardless. Really? If you don't randomly flit from fad to fad you are "doing the wrong thing"?…
>It doesn't ensure they stay relevant but it's a better strategy than watching your target demographic leave your platform. I don't see any evidence to support that claim. It is a different strategy, but I don't see any…
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…
>Why is their stock overvalued? Because delusional people still didn't learn their lesson from the first bubble. >Do you have any evidence of this Their P/E is 112. That's the very definition of overvalued. The price of…
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.
Except the number of active users reinforces his point, it doesn't make it invalid. >At the time of AOL's acquisition of ICQ it had 20 million active users¹ Or 40% of the internet using population of the world.…
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…

Those are functions, not stored procedures.
