The point was simply that what you wrote is how a very bad argument starts. I took care to point out I wasn't accusing you of that but you have reacted defensively anyway. It's my …

What's your point?

> I live ok without pattern matching and I build compilers/runtimes for a living; is that blub conceit? No, I would have quoted it the first time if it was. But if you want to repe…

The important bit is: As long as our hypothetical Blub programmer is looking down the power continuum, he knows he's looking down. Languages less powerful than Blub are obviously l…

I couldn't help but notice this phrase: [X] is nice but [Y] will get you most of the way and [dealing with the difference] is simple. reads a lot like the Blub conceit. I'm not acc…

> Lets pick one as a community and stick with it. And when our assumptions turn out to be wrong, should we continue working on it even though we know it can never work? The problem…

He did a better job of aping doge than you did, and not everyone needs to love it.

People missed the joke. Have an upvote.

I don't think so. With their track record it would take a devout optimist not to think "oh, Mail is bugging out again." At least that's my impression from maintaining dozens of ser…

Here's one comparing ATS, C#, Go, Haskell, OCaml, Python and Rust: http://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2013/06/09/choosing-a-python-r... (there's also a “Round 2” link at the bottom.)

I wasn't. I was making the point that it's important to realize that it is a question of freedom even if you don't regard it as one that should be had. There are those who don't be…

> Should we also have the freedom to hire a contract killer then? It sounds an awful lot like you're trying to pick an argument that isn't on the table. I haven't endorsed any free…

I don't think so, not as a discussion site participant. None of the sites I use allow it. But the real point is people don't do it that often even when they can. Twitter is rarely …

I don't buy the logic. If embedding is such a big deal then why does nearly every discussion forum allow you to embed youtube videos but not tweets? It's got nothing to do with who…

I disagree. Many people in this world lack the freedom to purchase cocaine. Whether they should have the freedom is up for debate. Whether it's a question of freedom is not.

> they pretty clearly benefit from the access Speaking of access , make sure you have the SonyⓇ RootKit™ Updater installed.

How do you think Sony and the EFF will respond?

Keep going, you're about to discover the holographic principle for yourself.

Well that's the most depressing thing I've heard all year.

That's my understanding as well, but the salient point is MAOIs work indirectly by increasing the effectiveness of some neurotransmitters—including dopamine, which nicotine increas…

Right. I suppose I took it for granted that brains are big ol' drug factories and assumed everyone was on the same page. The point is the MAOI isn't a used as neurotransmitter, but…

I've never heard someone talk about MAOIs in isolation before. You do realize the point of these is to affect other drugs right?

Oh, John McAffee, not the company.
