We use an instant messenger product at work, and the programmers often use it to ask me questions. I will spend about 20-30 seconds to type a 4-6 sentence response. They will take 2 minutes to respond with 4-5 words. BTW, you can see when they are responding, so I know they are typing the entire time.
It's called editing.
Nah, the managers use the messenger at work, we programmers like to, you know, program.
We're typing the entire time, cause doctor.el is running in another buffer.
Only bugger is reading Slashdot in w3m mode.
I am working with Haskell for a long time and don't understand the Haskell bashing in that article.
Neither do I. Elegance vs readability.
There is, however, a more pressing Haskell issue:

Perhaps you should try some rigid scleral lenses; they ride only on the sclera (white part) of your eye, and don't touch your eyeball lens at all.
Ehh. Nightmare on elmstreet with a bulbing keratoconus... Main use of sclerals is prosthetic to keep the eyeball lens at bay.
An experienced hospital optometrist (specialized in lenses, not glasses) will try not to rest any non-soft (ie RPG,hard) material on your eyeball lens
to ease wearing (movement/blinking) and minimize scratching eyeball lens surface.
Countering arrogance by devaluation discourages alternate behavior; the person will leave you alone.
Countering arrogance by validation encourages positive behavior.
You need both and self-esteem to keep communication neutral long-term.
And this thing about rectifying other's behavior --- ask you wife.
Yeah, whatever. Making electric motors last is a matter of correctly sizing the motor for the application. If you're constantly frying motors, its because you used a motor that is not large enough for the application. Going to the next size up will fix most of that problem for you. A sufficiently sized and maintained electric motor can and will last decades. We have several 275kW Baldors in our building that have been in service since the 50's. They are never run past 25% capacity which keeps them nice and cool. B
Thank you for the elaborate info.
I need 10000-50000 kW engines running at well over 25% capacity continuously in a moving contained space with portable power source, millions of miles without single failure.
The electrical support engines are oversized 2-3 times and still fail.
Much smaller, Mercedes G class engines run well over 100k miles without an oil change.
Calling an engine running at 25% more durable than an engine running at 80-90% of its max is not a fair comparison, which is why I thought you're jesting.
Considering the applied load, the tolerance for failure is immense for petrol, electric simply succumbs.
A gas engine really only has a life expectancy of about 5,000 to 10,000 hours (200 to 400 k miles). Electric motors with MTBF of 50,000+ hours are not uncommon.
You're joking.
Right now it's a comparison of industrial strength electric motors with consumer gas engines. As the electric car will become more popular, the same trade-offs will be made (weight, durability, price) as for consumer gas engines.
Window wiper motors, window motors, fan motors all die multiple times before the engine fails. Most cars are wrecked with a capable engine. Most engines are not economic viable once difficult-to-reach seals need be replaced. Nevertheless, gasoline engines have a huge tolerance for maluse and neglect (excessive play, valve problems, etc.), electric tends to be more of the ON/OFF type.
When both applications are compared in the same industrial environment, large freighters, heavy machinery, I've seen electrical (sub)engines always need be replaced multiple times, under far less demanding conditions. wartsila.
Design, bearings, choice of material and maintenance is ever important, the real culprit is not technical, but more related to the way
consumerism works.
Not required. DCP Brothers autoclean (=dump ink into sponge) at intervals in sleep mode while on power. Reconnecting power also triggers autoclean. Running 2+ years, don't do a lot of printing, 1 cartridge set refill -- before, in the print shop, comparable Bro's performed admirably.
Surprisingly good machine, especially cheap, excellent support from Brother (no I'm not), though photo quality doesn't match Canon/HP.
(tip: any factory born into sewing machines knows how to properly assemble mechanical devices)
Lasers are going the same road as inkjets.
I would make up for mistakes I made in the past.
I would comfort the world for putting up with my abysmal products for decades.
I would try to help and mend the wounds suffered by minio^H^H^H^H^Hdevelopers throughout
the world pushing Visual Basic.
Heck, I would code an funny looking assistent just to help people with Microsoft Office!
Capitalism would do a better job with education, housing and healthcare if government would stop introducing massive distortions in the market.
Pure capitalism does not exist, there is no invisible hand to guard the free market.
Without fences, capitalism amounts to oligarchy and feodalism.
The governments job is to provide the fences and make capitalism benefit the society as a whole.
Capitalism is a means to an end, not an end in itself.

Yes, mostly Perl related though.
Congrats, rasterman. (sorry, wmaker user)
His mannerism, zealotry are a pain

Exploitation, period. If not, please give a *sound* definition (!= neoliberal) of exploitation.
agreed.
