And, after 27 straight days of rain, that's news. Even so, we're only a couple inches ahead of normal on the weather year (October-October), and I wouldn't have noticed unless folks were keeping track. (In spite of its reputation, Seattle isn't all that rainy in absolute terms; for example, in terms of total precipitation, it rains about 25% more in New York City and about 7% less in Chicago, on average, than Seattle. It is, however, about 8% more likely to rain on any given day in Seattle than in either New York City or Chicago. The sum of the “Heating Degree Days” and “Cooling Degree Days” is the statistic that really speaks to livability, IMHO, and Seattle's 4,778 compares favorably with Chicago's 7,288 and New York City's 5,901.)

16:54:45Z [from @dshaw] It still expresses my "licensing" sentiment for much of the code I inflict on the OSS community, but I'm not a legal wonk.
16:51:45Z [from @dshaw] I know and that's the reason I wouldn't do that, even with hack and slash github posts.
16:28:55Z @dshaw The "no evil" license is evil in that it gives people who take licenses seriously fits; there are permathreads about it.
00:59:34Z [from @patrickdlogan] - exactly!

21:25:19Z @cbeust I follow the argument about Scala's ,Option, but you didn't discuss Haskell's Maybe. In particular, Maybe works, I think.
19:47:54Z Eyeballing the syntax/style, seems like Mirah = Gruby.

23:49:25Z [from @dandiep] RT @paulrbrown: @dandiep You mean something like JAX-RS ExceptionMapper (bit.ly/c9SKiZ) or...?
23:49:19Z [from @dandiep] aha that's exactly it - thank you!
23:48:41Z @dandiep You mean something like JAX-RS ExceptionMapper (bit.ly/c9SKiZ) or...?
23:25:14Z New Mac Pro dodecabox is surprisingly not that much faster than my octabox by the benchmarks, but dodecabox does have a ring to it...
19:25:07Z I don't understand the use of stock photos on small software company websites when it's obvious those people don't work there.

17:37:39Z Is it just me, or are alternative JVM languages looking like next year's NoSQL?
00:37:53Z [from @osi] i think i've encountered that desk!

23:50:59Z [from @nkaiser] That is exactly what they were hoping for!
23:49:41Z I don't speak Swedish, but I'm pretty sure this Ikea desk's name means "HA HA HA HA You should have put the legs on first!"
