Wow, is there any place free of pedantic dickweeds?
That depends. Do you believe in an afterlife?

Do you believe in an afterlife?
Yes. I fear it.
or to be more precise I fear that i will get a boring one.
boring is no fun!

City wants to enact a special half cent sales tax for capital improvements in an area of businesses. Creates a special voting district where no one lives so there's no one to vote against the plan. Woman registers to vote with her business address and is the only eligible voter.

That is beautiful. Seriously.

TBH, the first thing I thought about it was "let's try it with programming languages".PHP is an indescribably salacious dunce and a catatonic blood-freezing molester of small furry animals. VB is a precociously blighted moron and a rotten sock-sucking manifestation of contraceptive personality. C++ is a conspicuously execrable dullard and a villainous stench-emitting mass of neuroses and complexes. Javascript is a monstrously miserable cretin and a flagrant scruffy-looking sub-literate simple minded mental midget.
Then I got bored, but feel free.That is beautiful. Seriously.

###[Quora] Why do some programmers love Mac more than a Windows computer?
The usual arguments. I found it interesting none the less.
-
Ho hum, the usual. The sane reasons are:
- Hardware isn't horribly low-balled. Always going with the cheapest possible option is definitely not a guarantee of quality, as we should all know too well, so the fact that it's not building on top of shit makes life easier for everything else. You can probably match or better the quality of a lot of the things with other platforms, but that's a much less common thing than slapping together whatever meets the minimum spec and kicking it out the door.
- The integration between the hardware and the OS is very good. This is especially noticeable with the touchpad, where I've yet to see anything even close to as nice on other platforms. Integration is difficult to get right, so I appreciate that it is done well as it improves things hugely.
- You can get big-name commercial apps (e.g., Microsoft Office) and a Unix-based development system in one environment without having to screw around with VMs. Some people (especially people who are not aiming at the .NET platform) like that combo a lot. (Windows's POSIX support is not something that ought to be used; it's there as a big-contract box-ticking exercise, no more.)
I wouldn't specify OSX for servers though (both Linux and Windows make much more sense there, for a whole bunch of reasons). Nor would I criticise people who choose something else.
-
Yup. These are the pros.
-
I had a MacBook running Windows XP at some point after I got sick of the toy OS it shipped with (I think it has FreeBSD installed on it now, but not important to anecdote). Macs are actually pretty nice HW, but the biggest irritatation is that the Ctrl and Fn keys are reversed from the standard PC arrangement.
-
Office used to wind me up because things like Outlook are missing features that the equivalent for Windows had over a decade ago.
I can't remember what those were any more so maybe they're not actually that important
-
Wait what? He likes XCode?
... this person is insane. Even the most "rah rah rah rah Macs rock!" people I know generally apologize for XCode.
-
Quora has a good chess topic, but their interpersonal interaction topic is full of advice that is useless at best.

Wait what? He likes XCode?
You had to say that word! I try very hard to pretend that [spoiler]XCode[/spoiler] doesn't exist. Life is better that way.

That doesn't bother me at all. I've been disliking Outlook for far longer than I've had Macs…

Calling @PJH, we need to add [spoiler]XCode[/spoiler] to the bad words list!

From a flamewar on comp.lang.forth:
The world isn't filled with 'real' programmers. I'd argue that the majority of programmers in the world are mediocre. That said, in order for forth to become a more mainstream language, you have to attract and educate those programmers in order to bring them over.
On second thought, maybe this belongs in the quixotic ideas thread...

All my posts are fantastic. It's just that sometimes the audience is not at the level of maturity where they can fully appreciate it.

I'm tired of having people condescend about the language I use, so I'm learning Haskell so I can condescend about theirs.
-
What happens if you lock a Haskell programmer and a Common Lisp programmer in the same room?
-
I haven't heard this one. So what happens?
-
It was a genuine question. I mean, I assume some kind of condesention standoff occurs, but I don't know what the specifics would involve...
-
I'm sure there's the beginning of a good joke in there somewhere.
There is one complication: what if I told you that it's possible for the Haskell programmer and the Common Lisp programmer to be the same person?
-
if you toss a smalltalk programmer in, you get critical mass
