    Rounded Corners – 42

    At your own risk. I’m sitting at the tail section, watching a guy load out bags onto the plane. The guy works one stack of luggage at a time, reaching for the top piece and using it to dump the entire stack to the floor. Most luggage falls on the container floor, but a few items hit the tarmac, about a 6 feet dive. Then he picks them up and tosses them on the conveyor belt. If you left anything fragile in your checked baggage, my condolences.

    Neat freaks and slobs. Raganwald: “My experience is that if you are frustrated by the amount of work you have to do to express the algorithms in your head, you should look at a language that removes your frustration.”

    On the other hand. Ryan Baker: “My real point here is not whether static or dynamic is better, it is that a dynamic or a static language advocate both have a set of good arguments that can easily be used to justify the wrong conclusion.”

    Location, location, location.
