What a needlessly mean comment. Maybe you should watch a few of the Tati movies ? Start with playtime, you'll see what gp meant, which is richer than just interior design fashion.
> We all learned the lesson that mass-market IT tools almost always outperform in-house,
Funny, I learned the exact opposite lesson. Almost all software suck, and a good way for it not to suck is to know where the developer is and go tell them their shit is broken, in person.
If you want a large scale example, one of the two main law enforcement agency in france spun off libreoffice into their own legal writing software. Developped by LEOs that can take up to two weeks a year to work on that. Awesome software. Would cost litterally millions if bought on the market.
The scheme syntax gets a while to get used to if you are not familiar with it, and in the end having a real programming language is quite awesome, you can do lots of fun stuff like programmatically create a file or dir for every user of a certain group, etc.
I am all for paying people a fair wage no matter where they come from, and I do not believe the coercive nature of most hospital work is a necessity. I'm merely pointing out the hypocrisy of attributing crime to immigration while in reality immigration props up vast sectors of our economy (construction, delivery, and healthcare being the main ones).
Add to that that our most tough-on-crime, tough-on-immigration president is in prison because, on contrast with the vast majority of immigrants, he is an actual criminal, and you will see how the GP's hypocrisy can be very grating.
No, because f is assumed to be computable from the start, which BB is not (otherwise it could be used as a subroutine in a program that solves the halting problem).
Could you please expand on that ? I haven't found any sources, the only thing that pops up is a bullshit claim by Jordan peterson, that has been debunked as, at best, an oversimplification.
One the one hand, this is pretty cool, the API is pythonic and makes quite a lot of sense.
On the other hand, I can't stop myself from thinking about "Greenspun's tenth rule":
> Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp.
This doesn't apply directly here, as the features are intentional and it seems they are not bug ridden at all. But I get a nagging feeling of wanting to shout 'just use lisp!' when reading this.
Not the OP, but Zcash's privacy feztures are optional and seldom used in practice, whereas monero is secure by default. It helps with blending in the crowd.
