I also love ham and mushrooms, especially without mushrooms. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Haven't had lunch in years. Just got fed up with wasting all that time thinking about it, shopping for it, and preparing it. Can't say I miss it.

Skipping lunch [very hungry now] as Mrs Wife is home early and we're going out for a drive in the toot-toot car and a Worzel Gummage*

* Slice of tea and a cup of cake

FTFY

Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

You, like me, are married. Shirley you'd know such things don't happen any more. Sigh | :sigh:

I went to the pub and had a pint of wife beater whilst watching the Ausies tumble.

Then I went to Subway.

It is Friday after all. Now I'm back at work.

I'm sending in a special ops team to raid your home. All the ingredients you have listed are banned by interpol and must be taken in, as evidence of your crime.

It's Friday and we're down to the bottom of the barrel so leftover steak strips and cheese on a hoggie bun and chips for me.

I have a large (16 oz) Melton Mowbray Pork Pie that I am currently looking at (and slobbering on my desk about) and deciding whether to eat the whole thing for breakfast or save half of it for lunch! These pies may be common in the UK but they are like gold dust here in the US.

I have found a new US, legal source for these pies (and Cornish pasties and sausage rolls, etc.) and am stuffing myself with long-missed goodies at the moment.

- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Oooo....a good pork pie is a thing to love!
I can make the hot water pastry and get that right, but I've never managed to get the filling "just there", no matter what mixture of pig parts and spices I use. Sigh | :sigh:

One day I'll find a good recipe...but until then I'll have to buy them. And the good ones are getting scarce here too, being replaced with manufactured cr@p that tastes of plastic, not pork.

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Ah, the fresh taste of plastic. Just like mama used to make. Sigh | :sigh:

Where? Please do tell. I've been looking but haven't had much luck Sniff | :^)

. I've tried to make my own (Cornish pasties etc) but they somehow don't come out the same.

What is holding back functional programming?

It's 16:31, it's an hour before I leave for home and now, after reading that, I'm really hungry... thanks... Poke tongue | ;-P

I went to a talk on Functional Programming (related to CQRS) and it just seems like such a natural match. This got me wondering - why isn't functional programming far more widely used than it is?

(Thoughts I had - lack of visualisation tooling, and steep learning curve for juniors...?)

Rage10-Jul-15 0:59

Because"the long established other paradigms do the job, so why change" ?

Duncan Edwards Jones10-Jul-15 1:04

Yeah - that was what held back object-oriented programming...until it didn't.

Rage10-Jul-15 1:09

10-Jul-15 1:09

With the difference maybe that the multi-paradigm languages actually do a pretty good job.

Object oriented languages (including C#) are truly awful in multithreaded / parallel situations, but we have got so used to working around this that we don't see it.

I remember a similar thing with pre-OO code where we just couldn't imagine why you'd put the data and the code together.

Which means that functional programming not ? Then I have to have a closer look at it Cool | :cool:

In my not humble, but bloody good, opinion if the language needs to 'do multithreading' then you're doing it wrong. Write good code that does what it is supposed to do, then the process can be placed in a multithreaded do-hickey quantum runbot and your good to go.

The amount of times I've had the same old argument, if you need to know how to set up queues and threads to handle them in the every day environment then you're application framework is FUBAR.
