so why is it useful?

Malabar Porotha for the win!!!!!!!!! Fellow hackers, malabar porotha + fried beef -> foodgasm

what did you think of frege?

Damn no love for arch in the comments!!!!!

still doesn't look bright imo

I wonder what does the advent of ideas have to do with the average joe? The collective doesn't seem to be important here

Didn't physicists of the old once say they were close to closing in the the grand theory of everything, it was Max Plank or someone who was told by some Physics Prof that Physics as they knew was completely discovered .. point being there will always be a big idea around the corner that will surprise everybody

And here I was thinking, damn if the interviews weren't hard enough .. well good to know they haven't stepped up a whole three notches

Anybody know if Scala's Figaro software is in the same category as Church?

See that's the darn problem... "but it will require the elites" (not saying it is untrue), if the common man will not rise above himself, we as a species are doomed, regardless of what the elitists want. Build all the fancy cities, good infrastructure, good everything, but the common man needs external influence to do a deed that contributes to the civilization as a whole, what happens when that external influence goes away? we are back to square one

The way you put it, as though all ideas that ever existed only ever had opponents who were illterate and did not have advanced degrees in anything. But the second part sounds fair and will take that to heart

Out of curiosity, these proponents who say they've analyzed it through and through and think the theory is sound, their assumptions don't include rational players, do they?

I don't think the person understands that basic income doesn't mean resources are infinite, resource are still finite, miserably finite

I just found the path of light, I feel truly blessed

Seconded

damn this is the internet!! if people start believing everything they come across, it's not the source that's the problem, not the medium, but people themselves

it probably has the open source success as the only thing going for it, probably the ugliest non-intuitive language I've ever come across

aka the fall of lisp

Over the years I've stayed with the easiest-to-learn stable IDEs/text editors. Yes, I know there are really powerful tools with arcane commands (Vim, EMACS, etc), but I don't want to have to stop what I'm doing to learn new tools. I want to code, not tinker with desktop tools or arcane text editors

Wut? both of those editors make coding so much more easier and the rest of the stuff is just a cop out imo

maybe he sees that we are past the point of no return and we need to really start thinking of getting off of this planet ...... maybe

Apparently to some folks and the rules of this place, people can post things that are fairly interesting. So -shrugs-

Ah have looked into those in the past, haven't stuck for some reason. Probably things have changed in my head, we'll see

I don't care that people think Go and Rust cannot be compared, but Golang seriously has to be shown the exit door, this whole notion of less is good and let's make sure the language caters to the mediocre majority who could care less about code after hours has to `go` and in it's entirety is utter bullshit, with Golang gaining majority usage, the future of better abstraction is at risk, when will we be free of languages that mimic c's minimalism and ugliness for systems programming?, RUST HAS TO PREVAIL

See the part what I don't get is, pick a language and stick to it, whatever happened to Ludwig Wittgenstein's quote : "The limits of my language determines the limits of my world"?

I think the fact that Software Engineering not being regulated has been offset by the fact that the concept of open source code and open information (relative to other branches of engineering) pushes good practices to pretty much every programmer on the planet without asking (most of the time) and peer pressure is heavily against anyone who tries to sneak away or laze. I think software engineering is unique in being a collective of uncoordinated knowledge that self-heals and self-optimizes. All thanks to the open source movement and the n-number of tutorials online.

well not surprising, I mean try explaining to any organisms studying humans as to why we(humans) take so many selfies....for no particular reason....

NEWBIES BEWARE!!! USE THE LXML PARSER ... screw the inbuilt html parser
