As long as you have closures and higher order functions, you can simulate any object-oriented system

@-newaj That's why you use discriminated unions :)

Send them a reminder than they are late on payment, give them a warning that if they fail to pay within x amount of time as agreed (in your contract with them), you will terminate your services.

If you're going to freelance remember that you are taking on other responsibilities that managers in companies shield you from such as this.

They killed Inbox. I now have to use Outlook because the GMail client is just awfully obsolete!

@cursee it's also not about the language per se but rather the basis for their decision.

@cursee Technically, ang language would do but I would have chosen something in the ML family to cut down on what would need to be tested. I eventually decided upon using Haxe and compiling to PHP. It's a cheap compromise. I will give them their source code in Haxe and they can decide if they care about the output PHP. That way, if another developer comes along and the project needs to be ported to say, Node.js, it would be trivial to do so. Besides, I refuse to write any more PHP in my life unless I really have to.

@Jilano All they know about PHP is that Facebook used PHP. They don't even know what role the technology plays in typical web systems. To them it's the language of the web

@cursee Essentially, a timeline feed for property listings that evaluates different interests for ads :/

@FrodoSwaggins What do you have against RedHat systems? I've never come across a Fedora user who hated it.

@-Tor I second Fedora, and you took the words out of my mouth. I'm curious why people don't consider Fedora, and it is actually shipped a 100% free desktop OS, but it doesn't stop you from using proprietary software if you choose to add it

@monkeyboy I got into a fight with someone who claimed C# has a clearer syntax and then he went on to go, "look! It even has var". They complained that the examples that are often given in ML or Haskell syntax are confusing. I told them just like any other language they have to learn. And that's when they pulled the 'clever code' card.

Can I be blamed for not caring about their unwillingness to open up to the possibility that maybe the entire world is not revolving around Oracle and Microsoft

@Santaclauze `Women being the best carer for a child` != `Women only caring for a child without support from the father`

@iAmNaN Then Bezos was an arsehole to not offer material compensation for her investment

And boys and girls, this is why I use Outlook

@mundo03 So I'm guessing Twitter is a low budget application with no need for native whereas devRant needs it? To sign up for an account if I'm not mistaken you need to use the native app. Why?

@C0D4 every browser built on chromium is basically Chrome to me

@irene I wouldn't call Chrome a monopoly if there is competition.

Move away from your computer and go do stuff you hate

I think C# should do what Python did. Break changes but keep the legacy version for backwards compatibility. Or we can all just switch to a language available for the CLR that forbids null for code written in the language and guard against it at all costs

Null is a bug for higher level languages. This is why I opted for a type systems that discourages the use of null

Become a hipster: Use dark themes before mainstream user interfaces adopt them, and switch to light themes when your computer-illiterate grandma uses dark themes

'Full stack' means everything I use is related to JavaScript.

There are going to be platforms other than Android and iOS. Developers tend to use them. Are you going to build a native client for every obscure mobile OS that every developer is going to use?

@beegC0de Ah I get you now. Sorry for misreading your comment. I remodelled the problem and solution

I use Chrome. Google uses my personal data to improve my experience. When I'm not signed in the difference screams

@calmyourtities They are just hidden according to some authors who claim C is the mother of all languages

Bow down and worship Nvidia right now!

Apparently she contributed to the ideas that went on to develop the essence of Amazon. That aside, Mr Bezos will make it all back. Think of how Mr Gates gives away large chunks of his money and always makes it back. He is losing a portion of wealth, not income.

I have definitely seen more women portrayed coding in films and television

@beegC0de F# is an ML. ML's are garbage collected by default like many other functional languages. But what does garbage collection have to do with the expression of cyclic graphs?
