  1. Re: No Coroutines on Larry Wall Unveils Perl 6.0.0 · · Score: 2

    Too bad Lua sucks last time I checked. Remember trying to do bitwise and integer stuff with it. It does integrate well with C but that's about all I'd say about it.

    Well we have single payer for the poor and elderly. But the public option was killed by conservative democrats.

    And you're wrong about reconciliation being used to pass the ACA. It was passed with a supermajority in the Senate and a majority in the house.

    Sworn deposition would probably do it. Having to swear on a stack of holy bibles can plain rattle some folks.

    If you're testing a tricky algorithm unit tests are great proving the code works and at preventing breakage. Other than that don't waste your company's time. If you want to build test suites with the most bang for the buck spend your time on integration / regression tests.

    I notice you used the word "proven" in regard to unit testing. I've seen plenty of hand waving and evangelism. No proof.

    A programmer is to one who can code is as a mathematician is to one who can do algebra.

    If we put enough emphasis there could be plenty of people who could tie a couple of glue a couple of Apis together with a script to do some work.

    Except it's not a shitty language. WTF are you talking about? It's basically a better Java. And it has some innovative stuff like LINQ.

    Public infrastructure is usually subsidized. News to Republicans but no one else.

    So you think environmental laws are unnecessary? Then you are willing to live in a sewer. Look up Tragedy of the Commons. It obliterated libertarianism absolutely.

    Breadth requirements for a bachelor's actually require a fair amount of science and math. That includes comp Sci and computer engineering.

    uh just because you don't know or write bad Perl doesn't make it a write only language.

    How exactly is illegality which no one will ever bother to detect or check a problem? Besides not all of the kits allow going over 20 mph which I believe is the typical limit.

    I ran a little console .net program with p/invoke to the win 32 serial API and .net serial API the other day. It ran better under wine than windows because of crappy Prolific USB serial driver on windows.

    So wine already seems able to run .net presumably through mono.

    The first thing you need to understand is that what you are doing isn't all that different from what any other programmer, certainly not any other web programmer does.

    Knockout is a library and ajax is a pattern. Any developer worth anything will be able to pick them up by looking at existing code and doing a little reading and experimenting.

    There's a big difference between being $15k in the hole and 100s of thousands if dollars in the hole. When you talk about pre ACA medical bankruptcies you're talking about big money. A $15k debt is something most people could manage. And if they can't manage it then they shouldn't buy a Bronze plan.

    Uh, no the Republicans do not have clean hands in this foaled rollout.

    By refusing to set up the state exchanges they shifted a massive burden to the Feds unplanned for in the law. Then, they refused to expand funding for this massive integration effort. Think about it... Most of the state exchanges are doing fine. Why? Because they only have to meet one state's requirements. The Feds were forced by Republican tactics to handle the differing requirements for 30+ states.
