>Then, all the replies I received were seemingly defiant but all in fact agreed to the point while trying to sound smart.

And where exactly is the problem? You've received exactly the type of answer you wanted. steveklabnik repeatedly agreed with you by saying that a programming language cannot make you a good programmer.

Remember, your "simple truth" is just a small part of the whole story. The other part is that less strict languages allow you get away with mistakes and be lazy but later on fail catastrophically (e. g. by "losing a thumb"). You're dismissing this very important part as "trying to sound smart" or by calling it childish.

Searching through source code in github is horrible. It only searches through the content and completly ignores filenames which makes it absolutely useless to me.

what? Github has a separate search for filenames. It's called the 'file finder' and is activated by pressing 't' when viewing a repo.

The bars are overlapping each other. You have to use the next button to see all of them.

Go has a gc. That doesn't seem to be the problem. Google also uses Java quite often.

Does all of this boil down to these subreddits getting to /r/all? There are worse subreddits that the admins left alone. They should just introduce a shadowban for subreddits that excludes them from /r/all and perhaps hide links from other subreddits to the offending one.

I suspect there's an amount of brigading from those subs. Fatpeoplehate has a whole bunch of users shaddowbanned quite often.

That sounds like arrays benefited heavily from the easy branch prediction.

I don't think anyone who can afford $2500 clothes is poor.

But these people can't really afford these clothes.

Note that buying $2500 clothes does not necessarily mean that one has $2500 in the bank: they can be bought using credit or as part of a set of large expenditures thanks to a paycheck. The system of credit in the US does allow people to live above their means -- for a while.

In communities where status symbols like this are really important, people often put themselves in significant financial jeopardy to buy such items, even when they cannot really afford them.

>Buildings take time to build, do I have to make that clear?

That largely depends on how quickly you want to build. Chinese companies can build whole skycrapers within weeks. http://www.theverge.com/2015/5/14/8608039/building-timelapse...

Because your web app will appear sluggish to your users compared to a native app.

You're right. The transistor count only increased by 90% every 18 months.

What's important is that they are increasing by a smaller ratio every generation; generations are taking longer and longer; and price/transistor is increasing steadily.

In other words, Moore's Law is dead already.
