I am one of these people with a newfound attention to security (I would not call it detail). I was unaware of the ~/.ssh/config param you mention. Very cool, people like keep me hooked to HN. Keep it up!

Just as common in most parts of the A-rab world I have frequented. I would do it with friends who had befriended me, and I was proud since it meant I had integrated much more rapidly than American peers. When other study abroad students w

Yeah, that's not a surprise. It was a flippant comment by non-plussed Joni Mitchell to frequent requests every concert she play "Big Yellow Taxi" (also known for it's chorus "Paved Paradise, Put a Parking Lot"

You know, I am pretty impressed I got down-voted. Every time I see someone mock Java or PHP around here, people are quick to point out no language is perfect and personal biases are not great for reasoned discussioned. I thought there was

Or rather: I am so sick of reading about your calendar/planning startup. It is a company with similar people, using similar technology, doing similar things for the same amount of money and cultural mindshare. Sure everyone likes you

The coolest example of RPython in action, after PyPy of course (but goes without saying): Pixie, the lang and VM that is a native, high-speed Lisp. https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie

$LANGUAGE_I_HATE is $CRITIQUE_1 and CRITIQUE_2. And I know, I know, bash is even less elegant and more boring. Haha.

I skimmed your work and starred the project on Github. Will definitely come back to this later.

Very cool. As much as fun as the hype or hating is, I like to hear from frontline people how it goes. Will have to invest some time in it sooner rather than later!

I always have loved CouchDB from a far, and every time I see it here and elsewhere in these contexts, I say I will learn Erlang and really dive deep it into it. As a young know-nothing developer, a few years ago, their NoSQL Web-DB of the

I gotta say, for all the talk I heard of the years about Scheme not realizing anything practical, this seems insane to me. I am definitely checking the code out over the next few months during my down time.

Well the argument is pretty solid, however the last time I heard FLOSS Weekly, LibreOffice developers mentioned building document sharing over XMPP relay. That sounded amazing, and a pretty interesting modern analog. https://doc

I am curious about this because different camps scream about its "everything is a stringish thing casted as needed" type of language. (I know that is an oversimplification, but hear me out.) I wonder how that translates, at all o

As mentioned previously, I finished up some preliminary Java coursework. This was around the time our quasar and pulsar work took off in popularity. I see you as a hero and hope for a 1/1000 of your productivity when I peak. Glad to s

Not sure if you mean that positively, but considering your Java work, if meant positively, that is a huge compliment!

Very cool. Very nice to see your work. Hope to learn something from you soon. Maybe I will steal a friend's iPad to play with your stuff. Will keep track of your stuff.

With the garbage ticketing systems I am used to, JIRA as a file tree, 9p or FUSE on Linux/OSX, has me almost aroused. People wonder why I cannot do things fast in their GUI world, and then I show them a bash script that obviates 10x pe

So no one will mention the Clasp (Lisp on LLVM developer)? He built a language to build better, albeit not visualize, better molecules. If you are on this article, you probably will love to watch this guy. I am computer nerd and this guy

Agreeing with personal anecdote: the more people under 30 I met there, the more scary it was and relieving to me that I was never as stuck as they will have been their whole lives.
