    He might as well casually work on Faster Than Light travel, or a Grand Unified Theory.

    Bunch of oversensitive pussies. A single character is not a name. It's a practical joke from stupid parents.

    If he is offended then that is entirely his problem and not mine. I couldn't care less. I'm only suggesting that he consider changing it. That could actually help him.

    I'm not talking about computer systems. It is trivial to write code to handle an arbitrary UTF-8 string. I mean for his own sake, it's probably best to have a real name.

    The dude has a one letter name. This has consequences beyond your short sighted focus on computer systems. It's socially awkward to have a one letter name.

    I was not being sarcastic whatsoever. I know two people who have changed their name because they didn't like the name they were born with. My suggestion is 100% dead serious.

    Change your name. Everyone deserves a real name. Life is too short to have a one letter "name". The amount of time wasted dealing with this kind of shit...

    Of course they have been benchmarked. Both compile to native code, so performance can be roughly the same if the algorithms are the same. However, figuring out how to design a Hask…

    That's the problem with interpreting the Bible literally. God represents something of psychological reality.

    Slower compilation doesn't mean slower execution. Scala has "Native" and JVM implementations with different performance characteristics. Scala is a hybrid that allows imperative co…

    The money supply is centrally planned. The interest rates are centrally planned. Therefore I call it a socialist monetary system.

    New Zealands actual inflation is way, way higher than 1.5%. You are very naive and gullible if you believe that number. You also have no idea how the cost of housing is determined.…
