gaius, you have been on this site long enough to know what is HN-worthy and what is not.

I honestly can't say if the GP (gaius) is a parody of a language fanatic or a troll. (-: Or if it's a Ruby guy giving Python people bad reputation. :-)

If it were up to me, you will not be on the first contact team! Not sure if this makes you better or worse than Gaius Baltar. He betrays humanity for nookie with someone who looks like Tricia Helfer.

It's quite possible to argue that lambda calculus is not relevant to software development - I think that's the sort of thing gaius was talking about.

Yeah, in gaius' words 'you might have occasional successes'. African Americans are as much 'an economic and social underclass' in the US as Moroccans are in France.

I think gaius has made my point better than I could have ever made it myself.

Any outside distinction will lead to people using that distinction to draw far reaching conclusions about the people that have that distinction.

Inbreeding indeed.

i agree w/ gaius that this principle extends to other aspects of living. i'm not sure many of the lifehacks are as universally effective/valuable as they are claimed... i think a lot of the benefit gained from reading productivity porn like lifehacker comes from being forced to actually evaluate how you spend your time and energy...

If you like this and you're in London you should check out the Taking Liberties exhibit at the British Library, they have a live-action Political Compass projected onto a wall:
