Sure, because every low-skill, low-wage worker can plausibly start their own business to compete with the established market. What world do you live in?

You're not understanding. "Risk" implies that they might not make their yearly million, that they might easily make NOTHING. It's also independent of paying your staff a fair wage.…

Maybe you should hook up the worst metrics system in the world, veneur , and then see if it tells you any different.

Really? Happen to have a source for this?

Maybe OP is a dog? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ama-ZODE-Drinker-Dispenser-Plastic-...

Not sure what point you're trying to make, but 1200p was just barely a thing at the turn of the century, and only for CRT. It would have cost you $300-400 and still not have been f…

Sure, here's 2 off the top of my head: Package management is a non-thing in SBCL. It just doesn't exist. Have fun downloading 6-to-12 year old zipballs. The basic HTTP server, hunc…

LOL, buddy, what grade are you in? You're just gonna use my diss back at me? Weak.

> wall of fucking text repeat yourself until you're blue in the face, but you're wrong.

Well, if you're going to add qualifications after the fact, let's just skip to the end: "When it comes to train displays, split-flap are the best, because they make noises, and I h…

So you're familiar with "custody" as a term of art, yet not "custodian", very interesting, not saying you're lying, just interesting.

Of course this only works until everyone becomes wise to it. Then you're worse off where you started.

Yeah, it's almost surely a case of remembering the handful of times when the clocks were inaccurate because they caused you trouble, while forgetting the hundreds of times when the…

I, and many others I'm sure, would appreciate it if you would actually put some effort into your half-hearted America slams. All the subways I've been in, EU and US, have plenty of…

You must be one of those hipsters who lugs around a typewriter to cafes. - They are very slow compared to digital. - They aren't versatile, they can't display arbitrary information…

It's called Night Shift on MacOS.

I don't think that's the reason. Huge swaths of midtown, particularly, have near perfect pavement.

Ok, I know we like to dump on Americans with impunity, and I'm not even going to get into whether it's deserved or not, but have you driven in much of the rest of the world?

You can hardly fault newcomers for not understanding the finer nuances when everything they type automatically gets uppercased.

Where I work, one of the benefits of Clojure is precisely how concise and accessible storing densely layered business logic is. We're able to have a faith that the code does what i…

You must not be in SF or NYC. Python and Ruby (and even Node, to an extent) have supplanted Java as the language of fungible mass-market headcount du jour.

I and a few others in my workplace are Clojure beginners. It's really not hard to pick up once you suck it up and stop bitching about parentheses. I don't think the language owners…

Do you mind expanding? I don't know R, but on looking at several examples, I don't see it at all.

Is SBCL winning in anything? One of my acquaintances, a Lisp zealot, convinced me to jump in and make my next project in SBCL. Short story, it was a joke. Nobody seems to have done…
