>...preventing those consumers from making informed decisions about which products and services to consume.

Doesn't this provide an opportunity for another business such as Consumer Reports?

It's probably someone microwaving lunch.

CT has banned civil forfeiture without a criminal conviction. A step in the right direction.

I believe this is what Rebol IOS was trying to implement: http://www.rebol.com/ios/ios-intro.html

> Shouldn't 99% of development be about creating semantic models and let generic clients take care of rendering it properly based on form-factor, context, preferences, etc?

I'd argue that it's anything but practical. Great documentation, but discoverability is severely lacking.

What specifically about LinkedIn makes it a disaster in your eyes? I've recently started using it again and found it to be immensely helpful.

Is there sound accompanying the video? I watched several but didn't hear anything.

One of his last comments -- the one about having an immutable, agreed upon history -- seems like a great tool for recording facts in our "alternate-facts" world.

Including DB migrations. I don't know if I could ever go back to working with SQL directly after using GORM.

The documentation is my biggest frustration with Racket. Trying to grok how to use something as simple as their HTTP module proved difficult. It's great documentation, but seems to be aimed at a more academic level than pragmatic.

I used to like Lenovo, but after all the Spyware controversies, I don't feel right supporting them. Can you recommend an equivalent to the T series?

Sadly tooling support for 3.x isn't as strong as it was/is for the 2.x versions. Trying to get Eclipse or Netbeans to work with Grails 3.x is extremely error prone and buggy.

Plenty of high paying Boston companies.

Are you using a particular version? Pharo? Squeak? Commercial?

Check out http://nim-lang.org. It steals some of Pascal's good ideas.

Any specific implementation?

>There seems to be a common fixation on objects "modeling the real world" with the counter argument for classes being that they don't model the real world.

I'm not sure why this is the case. Just the other day someone posted a link to a video about Abstract Algebra. In the video they defined "groups" that (to me) are synonymous with Classes in OOP.

VSauce has a Youtube video that discusses Zipf's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCn8zs912OE

There was a discussion about Racket and its documentation yesterday. This is exactly the style of tutorial that they need.

I've had the same issues navigating their documentation. About 10 months ago I attempted to write a reddit scraper using Racket. I started out reading their "net/http-client" library and had to turn to the /r/racket subreddit to find out that the "net/url" library was what I wanted. I'd love to see some simple directory that relates development intention with a library: "Web Scraping, JSON parsing => net/url".

I've been using Groovy for about a year now. Can you explain what you mean about the static system being "badly retrofitted?"

For more about this, see the documentation relating to the "implicit parameter"[0]

Is the 'A' in ADT algebraic or abstract?

>...so you only need to follow the semantics of the language, not the actual implementation.

Wouldn't you need to follow the syntax and not the semantics? Aren't the semantics what the syntax is abstracting? (I'm genuinely curious, not trying to flame.)
