I agree with you but to not give a supporting reason for mentioning it, is in poor taste. These videos might be poor if this was RethinkDB's marketing video towards non-developers.…

I don't think any serious business would advertise on 4chan. The audience is too illicit and ill-mannered.

The language has nothing to do with it. LISP, C, Mathematica (which is LISP-like), etc.. The hard part is dealing with local vs global vs const vs private memory, and the intricaci…

Hasn't politics taught anyone that dividing disciplines/schools of thought into two camps hardly arrives at an intelligible difference? Junior/Senior..might as be Red and Blue.

It really is a sum of bravado, years experience, and pay grade. These titles arrived out of pure dread. What other careers have "junior" and "senior" in the titles?

Functional programming is notoriously slow. It might be better for abstracting multicore programming but please show me the advents that avoid copy flow of data and unnecessary pro…

Not everything is Ruby. Pretty much all web frameworks have an ORM for querying databases, namely Django (Python.) You really didn't have much to say except throwing Ruby around. W…

This is the way I look at the problem. f(f(n)) = -n We can solve this by letting f(n)=-n and subsequently f(-n) = -n That is, f should be a function that gives the value -|n|, and …

How does one deal with the ever present slowness of functional programming? By constantly operating on copies or mutations of tensors through pipe-like assembly -- instead of direc…

Google = Boys Microsoft = Men Of course boys have grander creativity but men realize evident truths easier.

Oh fuck coffeescript. Go back to ruby please

Our wages are so varied, it's nauseating. Am I the only one that thinks we should unionize for better wages and rights (ie. ergonomic chairs n whatnot) Our health and productivity …

We really need unions. These polls only help so much. Unfortunately also, there are both retard programmers, and actual programmers. I worked with a retard programmer, he thought t…

It's interesting that the two responses on here (yours included) so far mention that it was learned for scripting. The main reason I made the initial post is because I see it being…

It seems to me like a hybrid of python with perl. It does a ton of things and from what I've heard, it's slow as molasses because of all of the metaprogramming syntax that's built …

Don’t Pass Null? This is idiotic if you want performant code and don't want to have to use static empty object constants littered throughout your code. Null is perfectly fine in pl…

It won't make a difference if you use the library correctly. You're supposed to use a framework like sass or stylus and @extend from the grid classes. Don't actually give your elem…

Wait hold on. I'm doing an evaluation of Rap Genius so I can cure cancer.

The circle jerk never stops, does it? Anyone want to post the visualization of various amounts of cash that front paged a couple months ago? This kind of blind worship of money mak…
