I guess scala isn't already complex or rather implicit enough.

Is this implemented as a library or does it also require changes to the language/compiler?

I didn't tell him not to participate but I asked not to dump his view on other readers since this isn't a site about political or economic theory.

I generally enjoy reading hn but such right wing ideologies make me feel sick in the stomach.

Please take into account when making such statements the US (or whereever you live) is not the world. And just because you got brainwashed after decades of conservative government doesn't mean the rest of the world is. But the rest of the world also participates in this community.

You should probably also have asked how many hours per week people work. There is little use in comparing people who work 20 hours per week with workaholics who do little else.

The jit has more information about runtime behaviour. The question is though whether haskell's or similar slightly more advanced type systems aren't able to compensate for that.

Since you majored in maths and physics, you have a lot of specialized knowledge. I'd rather build on that than trying to compete with younger, better trained, more skilled people on "general purpose" development tasks. I once worked with a physicist and it was rather tiresome because on the one hand he had that "hey, I was at cern, I am the smartest guy around"-attitude while on the other hand he was ridiculously incompetent when it came to solving basic tasks.

    And before you ask what about a method without an object, understand that they do not exist.

Technically, there are unbound methods (i.e. methods with no object) but you can't call them.

"Other search engines decide to eschew Ads for accuracy and cut down the spamming, to gain market share."

This probably only works as long as they are small, i.e. of little importance. With market share comes the spam.

Anyway, I don't think google is that bad. At least, I don't find google any less useful than other general purpose, non-specialized search engines. I'm more concerned about their use of personal data.

They have had their chance to rename it to issue9 (http://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=9). Unfortunately they didn't. They probably never googled for "go" when they chose the name.

go support was recently included in gcc. I can't really tell if this changes anything though (with respect to goroutines vs runtime).

"ad 1.)" is completely wrong: From http://www.erlang.org/faq/academic.html:

    10.3  Where does Erlang syntax come from?
    Mostly from prolog. Erlang started life as a modified prolog

Maybe this means Prolog syntax isn't really that weird?

ad 1. I'm not sure if this is the case for gmail but when you use a spam filter that is fed by many people there is a chance that you're classification of that mail as spam affects other people. If you use some sort of self-adapting, learning spam filter, you will be affected too because you mark mail as spam that looks like normal mail.

To put it simple: the spam button is for spam = unwanted mass mails, mostly ads. For unwanted mail from specific users, you should create a filter.

My personal take on this though is: People who found out how to subscribe to a mailing list, should also be able to unsubscribe.

They say "2 plus 3" when they read out loud the standard mathematical infix notation for that expression but that's not what they do.

Mr Wong is similar to delicious and once allowed you to import delicious exports. It has grown "bigger" since I last visited the site (a couple of years ago) though and I don't know if it is any good in its present state.

Do you say "add 2 and 3" or "2 add 3"?

> “Books are priced too high”

I don't think he (the "pirat") has an idea of how much time has to be invested in the production of good books. I personally think that books are drastically undervalued and that people are not willing to pay enough for good books which has the consequence that they are either served well targeted bestsellers, which can be produced at that price, or junk. Big publishing companies and bestseller authors don't have that much of a problem selling their books at a lower price so that people are less inclined to download a pirated book.
