woefully

So this may be woefully naive thinking on my part.

I think you've woefully misunderstood the issue at hand here. No one is claiming that Groupon isn't a real business.

Simple, gets shit done, woefully, terribly ugly at times, but it doesn't really matter. I'd love to see the non-programmer's Python.

School didn't know how to handle me and in business I've found woefully few people I look up to. I yearn for a simpler life, but realize I couldn't live that life for long, I would quickly lose interest.

The other responses to this have been woefully speculative at best, plain wrong in others. The short answer is to rent one for a month and benchmark your particular application.

So now, a couple years after that trip to Honduras and that woefully failed startup, check it out: you're bringing in $5,000 or even $10,000 every month on that silly little product. You really don't need to work anymore if you don't want to.

And no, you're not imploding like the EU. Their banks are woefully undercapitalized and can't lend to the corporate sector. Plus, they have one monetary policy and 17 different fiscal policies - that simply doesn't work!

For being woefully outdated and not inline with market economics\n\nWhy do regulations have to be in line with market economics in the first place? Most, if not all regulations should serve and protect the citizenship and not private interest.

Email is indeed woefully insecure, but the problem with Google's "privacy" policy has little to do with whether or not email is a secure medium or not. It's about social norms, and Google's institutional ignorance of them.

I don't believe Google+ management is malicious, but they do seem woefully unaware of how internet-native communities behave.

I would further submit that if you think I'm advocating piling in even more features/power, then I've done a woefully inadequate job communicating my thoughts. My current belief is that the solution involves either less power or a simply different set of tools.

It has become an article of faith that the Bush administration acted in bad faith about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, while all that really has ever been shown is that they were tragically, woefully and extraordinarily wrong. How intelligent, well educated people be so wrong, unless they were secretly evil?

SemVer is woefully inadequate as a scheme that determines compatibility between two pieces of code — even a textual changelog is better. Perhaps a better automated compatibility scheme is possible.

Talk to us again in 5 years when you've got some experience under your belt and you find out how woefully unprepared school has left you... Then talk to us in 10 when you figure out that you could have learned all that same knowledge for free, in less time...

The third big task of a language learner is learning grammar and syntax, which is often woefully neglected in software language-learning materials. Every language has hundreds of tacit grammar rules, many of which are not known explicitly even to native speakers, but which reveal a language-learner as a foreigner when the rules are broken.

Also, the first iPad is woefully underpowered thanks to the display, it's quite memory and graphics constrained. It's entirely possible Apple wasn't willing get new iOS features working well on that hardware, especially considering iPad 1's install base is a rapidly decreasing percentage of the overall iPad market.

Anyone who talks about tech immigration in the US who doesn't acknowledge these two sides is either woefully uninformed or has a vested agenda. The reality is that we need to expand immigration in the former category and hit the brakes on the latter, but this also doesn't fit nicely into the "immigration is purely a means for exploitation" narrative that some people are trying to spin.

It's because outside of "elite" universities, programming knowledge is usually woefully out of date, and the nature of this field is such that the only one with any authority to say it's out of date is the one teaching the out-of-date course material. History, philosophy, and writing skills are much less dependent on the state of the art, and it's easier to find a skilled, accesible and receptive mentor in all of these fields than it is in programming or computer science.
