You're confused about 1986, the internet, consumers, and the nature of this interview. And it's obvious your bitter about people knowing that he was a great programmer, unlike Stev…

Same here. Non-technical project managers are a definite anti-pattern in the agile world. My experience is that they actively hurt projects as opposed to just being good for nothin…

Is Taco still hacking Perl?

The first thing authoritarian states do is take the guns.

Your boss can't make you work ridiculous hours

Each time I read madness as 60h/w, 70h/w or the wtf 80h/w I am really happy to live and work on EU I'm happy I don't live in EU. I don't have to work 80 hours, but if I choose to t…

The only reason to have these types of equipment is because of an "us against them" attitude of the cops. And the "them" isn't just "criminals". But that's what you get when you vo…

It's useful for any language/framework, whether it's verbose or not. The benefits of functional languages tend to not be as great as they could be because the tooling sucks (or kin…

Wish it were a Intellij plugin and for Clojure instead of Racket. I'd buy it.

Amazing how time flies. That picture of the cast is from half a century ago.

Luckily I've left Chrome for Firefox nightly. I'm moving all my nontechie family members over to Firefox too. Google thinks they're being cute playing these stupid games, but it'll…

They would probably be entitled to asking for your wallet password, yes. No, they shouldn't be entitled.

Agreed. The guy isn't a sympathetic figure, but this is a horrible policy nonetheless. This is one of those thought crimes to me.

It's zero-sum if the tooling around Haskell is antiquated compared to Java's. But the idea that a language is going to make us "that" much more productive has to go. We need much, …

We're still in the dark ages when it comes to software development, and I don't believe it's because we're using Java instead of Haskell. I believe we need much more powerful tools…

With Scala you feel smart having just got something to work in a beautiful way but when you look around the room to tell your clojure colleague how clever you are, you notice he le…

We saw what happened when Germany "rose up" in the middle of the last century. I guess Germans though the jews were tyrants back then.

A grudge? You're thinking is just as sick and twisted as aTEmpOral's.

Of course the CIA doing its job to track down a murderous thug is somehow "messing with the biosafety" of the planet. Not only that, but according to the sick and twisted thinking …

IIRC, some of the techniques used in the Self VM eventually made it into the JVM. Ahh yes, the relevant LtU thread. http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1185#comment-12831

As opposed to what, putting him on "trial"?

...but what we can't say is for sure how bad things will get or if you are a stupid climate 'sceptic' - how they will stay the same. Oh, I thought you called people that didn't bel…

It should be Government is the Crisis, but let's not shake up your worldview.

Once again we have leftists commenting on how dividing people into groups is a good thing because of historical racism, segregation, etc.. It's like 1984 newspeak and clear that's …

Any Good Samaritan law that comes with an obligation is absolutely horrible and dangerous to free societies.
