Java and C++ make you think that the new ideas are like the old ones.
Java is the most distressing thing to hit computing since MS-DOS.

I guess, when you're drunk, every woman looks beautiful and every
language looks (like) a Lisp :)

If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be
the process of putting them in.

Good work is no done by ‘humble’ men.

of tail calling.

A charlatan makes obscure what is clear; a thinker makes clear what is
obscure.

Since programmers create programs out of nothing, imagination is our
only limitation. Thus, in the world of programming, the hero is the one
who has great vision. Paul Graham is one of our contemporary heroes. He
has the ability to embrace the vision, and to express it plainly. His
works are my favorites, especially the ones describing language design.
He explains secrets of programming, languages, and human nature that can
only be learned from the hacker experience. This book shows you his
great vision, and tells you the truth about the nature of hacking.

Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.

The proof is by reductio ad absurdum, and reductio ad absurdum, which
Euclid loved so much, is one of a mathematician’s finest weapons. It is
a far finer gambit than any chess gambit: a chess player may offer the
sacrifice of a pawn or even a piece, but a mathematician offers the
game.
-- G. H. Hardy

Why teach drawing to accountants? Because drawing class doesn't just
teach people to draw. It teaches them to be more observant. There's no
company on earth that wouldn't benefit from having people become more
observant.
-- Randy S. Nelson (dean of Pixar University)
The purpose of abstraction is not to be vague, but to create a new
semantic level in which one can be absolutely precise.

Hi there
I've been reading through many comments related to new hive chain and I've seen your comment too. Many users are being torn, however majority seem to be moving to new hive.
Are you fully moving there or will you stay on both chains? Just curious. I'm trying to figure out what to do myself.
In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?
-- David (Psalm 56:4)
J'ai toujours préféré la folie des passions à la sagesse de
l'indifférence.

Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a
violent psychopath who knows where you live.

The problem is that Microsoft just has no taste. And I don't mean that
in a small way, I mean that in a big way.

The minute you put the blame on someone else you’ve switch things from
being a problem you can control to a problem outside of your control.

Everything that can be invented has been invented.

Its a shame that the students of our generation grew up with windows and
mice because that tainted our mindset not to think in terms of powerful
tools. Some of us are just so tainted that we will never recover.

If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete
themselves upon execution.

The only constant in the world of hi-tech is change.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a
while, you could miss it.

Premature optimization is the root of all evil (or at least most of it)
in programming.
-- Donald Knuth
I think the root of your mistake is saying that macros don't scale to
larger groups. The real truth is that macros don't scale to stupider
groups.
