Well yeah. They're releasing spiders !

The best OOP advice I ever read was "model the solution, not the problem". It sounds obvious in retrospect, but only in retrospect.

No. I mean, I understand it just fine, I just hate the structure of it. Something about it causes revulsion, something that would probably go away if I actually sat down and learne…

(if (and (not (null suggest-key-bindings)) My C-oriented brain screams bloody murder at this. (I still want to learn Clojure.)

Agreed. If he came to Seattle, I'd show up/donate/spend money/whatnot.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to segfault you.

And how many of those failures actually pay back investors instead of burning through all their cash first? This is quite possibly the most responsible failure I've ever read about…

No one's making the product I desire, so after years of searching and waiting I have decided to just make the darned thing myself.

I predict there is a 100% chance that he is either right or wrong.

How does Scala compare with Clojure? (I'd like to learn a lispy/fp language and these two are currently at the top of my list.)

Pornographic films have storylines?

Wake me when they can give me surgery to make me smarter.

There is no secret ingredient!

This strikes me as particularly funny as I'm working on a module of code where I had to use a type field and an 'if' statement to get around a dynamic cast that was killing perform…

I had forgotten all about She Hates My Futon ! He never finished it? That's... that's just awful.
