@bhaaratcrckt It matters a *lot*. I can taste the difference between 155 and 160. 135 is like a baby bottle by comparison. 2:51 PM Jun 1st via Twitter for Mac in reply to bhaaratcrckt
@zerology Dark Matter actually bothers me a lot less. It makes perfect sense to me that our universe would contain non-EM-reactive matter. 2:51 PM Jun 1st via Twitter for Mac in reply to zerology
@zerology The cosmological constant cannot account for the *acceleration* of cosmic expansion, iirc. That's the weird bit. 2:50 PM Jun 1st via Twitter for Mac in reply to zerology
Dark Energy is the modern day aether. Widely understood to be a scientific deus ex machina, but presently lacking a rational explanation. 11:17 AM Jun 1st via Twitter for Mac

Dear coffee baristas of the world: If you are "steaming" milk for a latte at 135° F, you are *warming* it, you haven't steamed it yet. 11:13 AM Jun 1st via Twitter for Mac
@fogus I'm not sure. It's possible. 10:28 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to fogus

@JorgeO @eric_brewer The CAP theorem has a formal proof. If F1 is truly consistent and available, it must be horribly non-performant. 5:25 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to JorgeO
EelcoVisser All web pages on 'prototypal inheritance in JavaScript' introduce frameworks for defining classes; are there any real examples? 12:41 PM May 30th via TweetDeck Retweeted by djspiewak and 3 others

@ricky_clarkson I didn't realize he *hadn't* replied! I have bugged him accordingly… 4:53 PM May 29th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ricky_clarkson
@jamesiry @runarorama @jedws Yeah, that's the downside. One way to avoid that would be to require an annotation on the trait. (e.g. @adt). 2:50 PM May 29th via Twitter for Mac in reply to jamesiry
@runarorama @jedws Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I feel like I could really get behind it. Shall we propose on the mailing-list? 2:43 PM May 29th via Twitter for Mac in reply to runarorama
@jedws @runarorama Decomposition by specific type helps even without overlapping ADTs. Really, I do this all the time. 2:41 PM May 29th via Twitter for Mac in reply to jedws
@runarorama @jedws Actually, that makes some sense… That leaves the flexibility to do `new Case1` while letting `Case1(…)` behave correctly. 2:40 PM May 29th via Twitter for Mac in reply to runarorama
