I would like to officially apologize for offending the android and cyborg populations, by bringing too much attention to the food desires of the meatbag population.
> The workflow I ended up with was to write a function without any type annotations. Ignore all the red lines of the IDE’s confusion. Compile the code. In the output look for a warning about (Long => Int) return value being ignored in a function returning Unit. Copy (Long => Int) into my code as the return type annotation of my function. Compile again.
That sounds like the most stupid way you could do things.
I have been in interview debriefs where people were concerned about a candidate not advancing enough in a previous position, but I can't imagine one failed startup being detrimental, at least where I currently work if you get interviewed by those same exact people. :) The important thing is what you can talk about from the startup.
Heh, I hear that off and on and I'm curious where that comes from. Is it just something that people repeat because it sounds good, or is there solid evidence for it?
Criminal record or not, having my own consulting company sounds pretty nice, especially if you can already find employment as a contractor or at startups.
Except that REI isn't going from a normal return policy to a draconian return policy. It's going from the most unbelievably lenient and forgiving policy to something that's still far more lenient and forgiving than anyone else offers. I don't think it's quite a fair comparison.

Clearly the real solution is to insert the air hose from an impact wrench into the uterus, past the baby, to inflate the uterus and blast the baby out. This way the pressure isn't just on the baby's head.
I've seen an MIT Scheme class video, and it was painfully slow and the guy seemed to explain everything in painstaking detail. I've heard about the bimodal distribution, which I believe I witnessed among fellow students when I was taking classes. But I'm having trouble seeing how Scheme made it any worse or how the class was too fast.
And, Pyret looks like a terrible beginner language! I like PltScheme, but I can't see how anyone would ever want to use that.
