Another bitter Scala fanboy that goes trolling other language threads looking for any mention of Scala and who is very angry that Scala isn't taking off and never will.
That's the thing about the Clojure community. It doesn't have wackjob fantatics like you.
Looks like you just managed to disprove my earlier claim:

I never did see his definition of "win", but Clojure does have a great community and I consider that one of its greatest strengths.
That said, I can never see Clojure "winning" as in how Java "won". For all of Clojure's strengths, it's at best an intermediate step up from Ruby, Python, Perl... It's not that next order of magnitude leap of productivity that is necessary to "win".
The research just isn't going in that direction. The research is going into type systems and static guarantees. And I think the real productivity boosters of the future will be in very smart tooling - a conversation with your IDE I would say. Maybe Clojure could have different views (different surface syntaxes). Maybe it could be the basis of something like intentional programming. But straight Clojure with Emacs isn't going to be "winning" in the big way.
I've thought about that watching old movies from even as late as the '30s - that every single person I'm watching (scenes with 10s if not hundreds of people) are long dead.
Every time I watch old films or start pondering mortality I then think of life longevity augmentation which is probably going to happen in the next 40-50 years (if not sooner) and then wonder if a. I'll live that long, and b. what a shame it is all those people are dead.
Then I start thinking of all the differences we'll have when longevity comes about, such as being able to travel intergalactic distances, declining birth rates, and placing a higher price on the human life. It's an interesting thought exercise.
What about Youtube? Never in history could people so easily share their lives with the whole planet and it being archived very well (and searchable). Think about the impact it (already) has on the future, when people somewhere hundred years from now can look back at so much of human history in full color and sound etc. We as humans are currently recording so much for future generations. Half of it may be crap, but on the other side there's also a lot of good stuff.
No, no, no. That's what college professors with no real world experience tell you. In the real world, professionals use guard clauses to exit early all the time.
Maybe I should have phrased it better, a 27" 1440p screen is only around 110 PPI. Hell, a 32" screen like this is still only 140 PPI. I'm waiting on either a 1440p screen at 19" (which is over 150 PPI) or a 4k screen at 29", those have pixel densities I don't notice greater precision at at around a meter / yard.
Yep, it's a crapshoot, but I think I'm going to pull the trigger soon on one of these anyway. Can you tell me which of the usual suspects (green-sum, hulustar, bigclothcraft, etc.... you went through?
What exactly was your problem, completely dead panel or massive backlight bleeding?
Just checked the order and it turns out we got two Nixeus WQHD 27" @$450 in August of 2012. After about 6 months we had one panel completely die which we RMA'd and received another one after a decent expense shipping. Shortly after the RMA the second panel we purchased died in a similar fashion. We currently have one that works and are not going to bother with RMAing the other dead panel.
North Korea will never use nukes against South Korea. They want a reunified Korea under Kim Jong Un. And the best way to do this without killing innocent people is to do what they've attempt countless times before.
Dig a tunnel under the DMZ and send people in to capture/assassinate the key people within the government.
Wow, you really believe that is the best way? Or is that the best way in the demented minds of the N. Korean leadership?
South Korea kinda does not care, because they know North Korea wants the entire Korea, not half-korea and half burned slab of ground.
They might say that to their population, like they say that Kim Jung "Be Illing" shot a hole in one every time, but they don't really want the entire Korea, because they know they can never have the entire Korea.
