It's like you're bringing feminism into this just to troll. He said absolutely nothing about feminism.
I could do it for free with the alarm snooze feature on my 5 year old blackberry.

Could you code a solution for the Boggle problem in 45 minutes?
Re:Programming Interview Question: Eight Queens on Tuesday December 31, 2013 @05:54PM (#6993300)
This just boils down to populating an 8 element array with all the numbers from 0 - 7, where abs(x[n] - x[m] != abs(n - m))

Before making sure you have something else lined up first?

Where is this?

Re:Ask HN: How long before you leave? on Thursday December 26, 2013 @04:59PM (#6968311)
I'd keep looking in my spare time. Why quit before you have something else lined up? I'd have to evaluate why it was bad, how bad it was, and how well I could mitigate the problem(s) when determining if I wanted to look for another job. It would have to be fairly bad for me not to give it at least a month - more than just me thinking it wasn't quite as cool as I thought it would be. I don't see how it would hurt your record if you found another job and left within a month - you could just leave that one job off your resume.

Why is Rhino coming soon?
Re:Clojure vs. Scala on Tuesday December 24, 2013 @04:23PM (#6961174)
I believe you could easily get the Scala version to be just as short, in terms of lines, as the Clojure version.

Re:Realm of Racket on Tuesday June 18, 2013 @01:22PM (#5900634)
It's got standard macros, plus all of the other "languages" that come with it, like Algol, Typed Scheme, Lazy Scheme, Honu?, and others, plus the ability to make it run languages of your own design. So, I would agree with that. Maybe not if you're strictly talking about the main language "Racket" that's run by the Racket VM.
