iloveCS

i frequently see him post on Quora--he appears as a pompous, abrasive and highly anti-social individual who acts like a gatekeeper to knowledge. He grudges the readers their knowledge by making it extremely boring and difficult to break into. Many 'authors' are like that. Which is feels like a conspiracy.

which PKD-like moron downvoted my benign comment?

when I read "do androids dream of electric sheep" that was my first and last reading of PKD-- I instantly realized it was a mediocre work by a mentally ill person. Vitae brevis. And I went back to my Samuel Richardson's and the like.

the fact that there are repeated statements like "why X" where X = some language, points to rationalization more than reality; if the language is really so good, there won't be any need for a "why" articles on it. I haven't seen a repeated series of "Why C#" or "Why Go" or "Why Swift" articles. I also think Lisp is way overrated. Swift is based on Miranda which is based on Hope which borrows heavily from SML...There's nothing Swift can't do better that Lisp can.
