Garbage is proof. QED

qqq13:05:58

anyone here miss the last bitcoin rally?

danielstockton14:05:22

@qqq Forgive me, do you mean if there is anyone who didn't have many before it last went up in value?

qqq14:05:04

a friend told me to buy bitcoins a few days ago

qqq14:05:05

I did not

qqq14:05:09

now I am kicking myself

danielstockton14:05:45

Me too, in hindsight.

jeffmk15:05:21

Imagine if you sold your last couple btc at USD 1100. Not that I’d be that stupid or anything ..

nikki17:05:29

this over an eavt could be fun

qqq17:05:18

Would you consider the climate of hawaii (being more-or-less perpetual summer) as being statically typed?

jmromrell18:05:23

No. Climates in general have the ability to behave dynamically. Any one instance of a climate might appear unchanging, but you have to leave room for it to change, and you want to have consistency in your climate definitions

jmromrell18:05:54

Even if you knew for a fact hawaii's climate would never change, I'd still consider it dynamic so it can be treated the same as other climates

I have no idea what's going on but it looks cool. (should've took some basic economics courses...

@ghadi: i dunno, serms to me the ability to extend the languath without mucking with the compiler is a Very Big Deal.

ghadi21:05:15

counterexample: protocols had to extend the compiler

ghadi21:05:50

ultimately the amount of work that went into a feature doesn't really affect the feature, just the implementors

dpsutton21:05:26

it's also funny that the first two rules of macros is not the write macros

dpsutton21:05:42

but at the end of the day a well designed language is a well designed language

mobileink21:05:41

@ghadi point taken. i guess there's no bright line.

mobileink21:05:28

still i'm curious about the other languagrs mentioned. e.g. know nothing about c#, i'm just gonna guess that extending clojure is a lot easier. am i wrong?
