I would like to officially apologize for offending the android and cyborg populations, by bringing too much attention to the food desires of the meatbag population.

The workflow I ended up with was to write a function without any type annotations. Ignore all the red lines of the IDE’s confusion. Compile the code. In the output look for a warning about (Long => Int) return value being ignored in a function returning Unit. Copy (Long => Int) into my code as the return type annotation of my function. Compile again.

That sounds like the most stupid way you could do things.

I have been in interview debriefs where people were concerned about a candidate not advancing enough in a previous position, but I can't imagine one failed startup being detrimental, at least where I currently work if you get interviewed by those same exact people. :) The important thing is what you can talk about from the startup.

Except that REI isn't going from a normal return policy to a draconian return policy. It's going from the most unbelievably lenient and forgiving policy to something that's still far more lenient and forgiving than anyone else offers. I don't think it's quite a fair comparison.

No, you can figure out when the tickets go on sale to the event that you just can't miss and you can get them early just like the scalpers do, if you actually are such a big fan...

Clearly the real solution is to insert the air hose from an impact wrench into the uterus, past the baby, to inflate the uterus and blast the baby out. This way the pressure isn't just on the baby's head.

I've seen an MIT Scheme class video, and it was painfully slow and the guy seemed to explain everything in painstaking detail. I've heard about the bimodal distribution, which I believe I witnessed among fellow students when I was taking classes. But I'm having trouble seeing how Scheme made it any worse or how the class was too fast.

And, Pyret looks like a terrible beginner language! I like PltScheme, but I can't see how anyone would ever want to use that.

Can't you just do this with a normal box fan and a hepa air filter you buy for 7usd at the market?

If you lived in a high-rise condo and paid go money to do so, and the two places on either side of you started being rented out to random people who were there one week and gone the next, how would you feel?

I probably wouldn't care because there would be no way to detect if it was happening, without me standing outside my door all night like a sentry.

Sure, I'd be annoyed if some of the guests came and went at all hours of the night and that was waking me up regularly, but that could happen just as easily with more permanent neighbors, and I'd be able to do just as little about that.

but hiring managers would then expect to hear what you learned and convince them you were insanely productive during said period.

Hopefully you can say these things about any job you were at.
