People here are just very dramatic. I think I need to not read (or write) HN comments for a long time, there is some serious distorted reality about.

I'm not really sure what your point is in criticizing "farming" to C. > This is that culture thing I'm talking about. You made a false claim. You referred to Python iteration as no…

Well that sounds like a personal problem and it has nothing to do with the language. As a counter-anecdote, I've been working on Python projects for over a decade and have yet to e…

I read this earlier and was sort of speechless. Now I can't help myself, and must point out that a grave digger in no way contributes to the death of the buried. Beware the acute a…

There's quite a class divide between corner pub and brew-pub clientele. It feels like for every trendy brewery thriving, a few anonymous bars are failing. I'm not saying it's wrong…

And you've gotten to the root of the decline of places like pubs: Inflation with mostly stagnant wages. Sure, you can have a "cheap" burger and beer, but more often than not you'll…

I'm aware of Smalltalk being promoted in educational settings. What I wanted to know more about was "Lisp for children" which I've never heard before.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_McElroy#1981_killing for a more to-the-point account.

That really depends on your definition of tourism...

> One could argue that Smalltalk was designed in part to be a "Lisp for children." This is the first time I've heard that, do you have a source?

Please don't editorialize titles.

I didn't refer to absolute anonymity, but to an anonymous design (anybody can register, without an email even). The point is that it's far easier for INS to troll a place with real…

You really think INS are monitoring and investigating comments from throwaways in an anonymous forum like HN? Easy with the tin foil.

Altimeters: Not even once.

Why are those your options?
