I only see one person throwing a fit over a product comparison here.
Now, now. You can't claim that they aren't similar, because the concept here is unifying both launchers and task lists, which was what distinguished docks from task bars before. They have different features, yes. Their…

Using the vile arts of Necromancy, I bestow upon this dead post a grotesque mockery of life! Edit: Well now I'm dead too. Should've been wiser to just copy+paste a dead comment. Still, this is stupid. - points by…
That was hilarious, man. Thanks for that. Oh, wait, it was serious?! Well now, how are you going to map this issue to something which isn't, in the end, anecdotes, since it pertains to human emotional responses? Are you…
I think it's much more likely that it's just somebody who dislikes a language and stated it in a smartass way, as programmers are wont to do.
Maybe it was the way you phrased your post? The sentence "If you found this interesting you might also enjoy" probably sounded 'botty' to the spam filter. Aside: There seems to be some poignant commentary crying to be…

Yes, I agree. Way better than most HN articles.
But isn't Jython years behind the CPython version, PyPy still experimental and on Python 2.x, and IronPython mostly a novelty? Stackless seems in better shape, though, and couldn't say anything in respect to usage. The…
I upvoted you. This whole semicolon war is the most banal and self-aggrandizing conflict I've seen in a while, rife with as much vanity and childishness a the ``blogosphere'' allows, as evidenced by this post. Can we…
Yes, I have, thank you. How's the health? Oh, and "everyone knows that PHP lights the upper-rightmost pixel in you screen purple and will crash if there's no screen" would not, in fact, justify such a thing.
> "no good reason" is entirely subjective, though. If your purpose is to make the language simpler to newcomers, implicit conversions everywhere are a great way to get things done. And the popularity of PHP…
Why, it does indeed say, a link or two down from there, that strings will be coerced to float: http://web.archive.org/web/20091024234517/http://www.php.net... The point, however, is that you shouldn't pepper your…

That's an opt-in workaround, and proposing it as a solution is like trying to cover the Sun with your thumb. You'll have an infinite number of errors everywhere you can input numbers where the == operator is used, but…
> Intolerable for real-world use. A toy language. Alas, PHP, we hardly knew you... I'm sorry, I would like that to be true, but programmers rarely are half as smart as they think they are. We have many more years of…
Well, you can't really much rip the US highway system off the face of the Earth, and I'm guessing that it's rather inconvenient to route around it, but you surely can not use PHP, and inform those poor misguided souls…

I don't if I get this, but I'm having a hard time picturing just who are you able to get for less than USD 1000 /month, since most developers here would scoff at less than ~USD 1500 (CLP 700000) a month as a starting…
Walking out may feel good, as righteous indignation so often does, but it doesn’t help your situation. You give up any chance you had of getting the job. Lying is easily disproven, and. worst of all, requires you to…
You are right with respect ot maturity, and Ada does have some high level concurrency constructs, though I'm not well versed enough to compare them with other language's. I think a main selling point for Rust is its…
I think that if the meaning of "knowing" wasn't questioned, nobody would have bothered to answer what it is. Edit: And I don't think that "bad" is really pertaining to this discussion. Edit2: Oh, lookie, the submission…
