no, no, not heuristical, hysterical is the word

It was quite good the last few days Where do you live in Vienna? Nice to see Austrian people watching the videos.

yes! and I've been sick for a week now LOL. actually I live not very far from TU. though I've never been there myself, I'm autodidact.

Are you located in Vienna aswell?

I totally agree. it really is grey. I got a bright light lamp a few years back. it compensates for grey skies.

yeah Barcelona would have been fun, sadly I couldn't go.

yes I live in vienna. I really like it, but I am looking forward to a "sunny" break!

 

I guess the "shy" part is preventing people from applying for a job on c9. having more niners in videos like this might show some of them that there is no need to be shy.

I would have suggested little guru immediately, but I can understand that he needs to focus on his education.

perhaps c9 could have a sub conference on any of the next big events. that way more niners could try there face on camera.

I am sure charles would appreciate getting some assistence, it sometimes seems like he is pulling the cart all by himself, which is certainly romantic for a time, but becomes very exhausting very fast. I know, I've been there, many times...


little guru: hey, how do you like vienna?

Thats great!

I still don't think I understand monads and functional programming, my lack of math background is complicating things. But I totally get the complexity built on simplicity to ensure composability part, that is kind of my whole bid.

simplicity meaning: "easy to decide" as opposed to "easy, because I don't have to decide". so I guess functional programming will still require a very particular mindset to be successfully employed.

I am really looking forward to seeing more great interviews like this one.

Brian Beckman, the Gandalf of Programming!
 
is it possible to mix c# and f#? (I'm new to this, obviously)

I really like stuff like this. Since I am watching Channel 9 for hours on end (while I am working) I am through anything that peaks my interest and almost anything that doesn't. 

There really should be a Brian Beckman show (and also a Jeffrey Snover and Scott Guthrie show for that matter. although you probably should let him have a long vacation first! he looks like a two year crunch at least)

Well and since I am at it already: THANK YOU Charles!
