That’s the logical end to "everyone should learn to code". Imagine the same fever happening to painting and we have a paintersoverflow site where people would be asking how to mix primary colors.

Mosquitos are like heart attacks: they kill thousands/millions but they are boring so nobody care.

Sharks are like terrorists: they kill just some dozens but are super scary.

"Startupjob.org a Reddit for startup jobs” and now I understand the expression 'ideas are a dime a dozen’.

We’ve seen the end of physical slavery just to go into an era of intelectual slavery.

It seems like the name really suits the language.

I have to agree that if every human became a tree after he dies we would reforestate the whole world in no time!

I think this was his personal experience, or maybe his german level is too basic to be useful. I’m a brazilian living in Germany and people here are very open and forgiving about your german even if you are still learning and make a lot of mistakes, they really like their language and prefer it over english if it’s possible, at least that’s my experience.

In Clojure you can use schema (https://github.com/Prismatic/schema) which does the same thing without needing a separate language.

my suggestion for infinite scroll: make it finite.

After I moved to Clojure and start to deal with raw data instead of objects I remember all the pain of ORMs from my Java days… Jeff is right: objects are overrated.

It's Settled: Journalism Is Dying. So What's Next?

"The problem with this self-imposed religion is that our technological religion blinds us from the truth."

No. The problem is that this self-imposed religion blinds us from the fact that there is no "truth".

King is trademarking the words candy and saga so nobody can ripoff king’s ripoffs

Reads like a self-help book...

> These days, the technology decision maker is the dude with Sublime Text open and a cloud control panel up in Chrome.

My sublime text is open and I have a cloud control panel open on chrome, am I the technology decision maker? Nobody told me that here on the company.

Wait... maybe nobody told me because... I'm the decision maker D=

Indeed you are right. To say the truth I knew what to expect when I clicked the comments link: the “I studied hard therefore I deserve more” meritocratic bullshit we are used to. The worst lies are the ones we create ourselves as a excuse to feel better.

You have to pay to access the article. Why even bother posting it?

"Breaking news: we live in the matrix!"

In clojure you have thread macros to solve the “inside-out” problem.

(-> 3 (+ 6) (* 7) (/ 12))

or (just an example, fictional names)

(->> object reflector fields (map :balance) (filter #(> % 1000))

Which reads like (pseudo language)

object.reflector().fields().map(:balance).filter(field -> field > 1000)

Microsoft is like the cheating boyfriend/girlfriend that always come back saying "I'm different now, I've changed!"

If you don’t have unit tests in a distributed team of 30+ devs per site you are screwed in ANY language.

Scala doesn’t support dependent types AFAIK

"This is the problem with dynamic syntax in, well, dynamic languages. As Philips puts it, ignorance is strength, and freedom is slavery..."

Hey man, that's like... your opinion

In my opinion types are a poor man's schema, my email is not a string, it's a email, and my longitude/latitude pair are not just ints they have specific ranges, saying that longitude is 500 is as wrong as saying it's "foo". I use schema libraries and asserts to both document the code and make sure you can't feed it wrong data. I even generate automatic html documentation out of my schema so my clients know what to send me, and this only in the places I need, no need to a schematize or assert every simple function with obvious parameters.

Maybe type annotation is more useful in OO languages, but as a clojure programmer, for me, data is just data, there's no behavior associated. If I really want type safety at compile time I can use core.typed only in the places I need it.

As a former long time java programmer (who tried scala for months) I welcome my new found freedom from type slavery, but that's just... my opinion.

It's not a valid javascript post if it doesn't say how many lines of code did you use.

Edit: grammar

"Dart meanwhile is Google’s open-source Web programming language, which has an ultimate goal of replacing JavaScript." Good luck on that. On my side if I were to see JS replaced I would choose Lua as a replacement.

I was just looking for that! Can it be used with the normal lua interpreter too? I want to use it on my löve game, so, no luaJIT.

One would think that after 3 years you'd learn how to draw a good logo =)

I do the same, only KeePass is my wallet, safer and easier =)

I could see it being worth using if it was just a q&a app but I don't want another social network to care for.

This is really cool but I have one question: "Now free, one month only" that means it's free forever if I download it this month or can I use it for free for one month and then I have to pay?
