Quotes without context are misleading, thank you for linking the original.

I got my first taste of functional programming with Erlang. Honestly, it had me befuddled for quite some time with pattern matching and the "functional" style; I was used to using objects to encapsulate rather than "modules" and "functions"

Healthy Choice, Lean Cuisine That's one of your first problems. Start eating real food. Look up the Paleolithic Diet and/or the Longevity Diet; also do some research on Dr. Shulze and his natural cleansing kits/programs (they've helped me

It should. I've known a few people that inhaled Nitrous recreationally (which is known for depleting B12 very rapidly); it was a common side effect (other than it being an anxiolytic) that you would lose sensation in your outer extremitie

Good reply, I don't know too much about the ins and outs; just layman reading and anecdotal experience. I remember being chronically fatigued (though it was not Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) for quite some time; what did the trick for me was si

Sounds like Chronic Fatique Syndrome to me. My advice: cut simple carbohydrates out of your diet completely (veggies and animal protein only) and start exercising as much as your fatigue allows you. Read this book too: http://www.amazon.co

Thanks, I should have referenced the original post I derived that quote from (it slipped my mind).

I think there is a defined line between obsequiousness and appreciation. I feel the tone of my post actually leaned on the side of appreciation than it did "obedient or servile". I suppose that any sort of "Thank you" statement could be tak

I up voted you because you're correct. It would have easily sufficed as an email to PG. However, the impact of appreciating something and having communal pooling of appreciation affirms the intent. I want HN to remain what it is and I did

What's interesting, is that Hacker News does generate revenue in a very indirect way. By cultivating a hacker community around his early stage investment company he is ensuring there will always be top-notch thinkers and doers participati

For communication purposes, Amateur radio would be the most common and accessible. Although, I have a feeling the internet would be much more resilient than it may be given credit for; it just might not be a World Wide Web, maybe a Regio

Emerson is one of my favorite authors. I think his philosophy on creative output/self-expression is just as applicable for writing as it is for programming; programming to me, is the ardent beauty and cogency of the [programmer's] thoughts

Agreed, frame of mind is important! If you are bored, then keep producing more value with that extra time; people will talk about you if you are creating things that are high quality, refined, and useful.

An excellent point about oxygen, that had slipped my mind.

It's a beautiful application, the one thing it does that Emacs can't is the binary image diffing - a cool feature! If I were a designer I would buy that in a heart beat...

This is a good point, but that kind of heat could ignite the reservoir too?

This is a good point, but still, I'm sure a "properly sized" explosive that wasn't nuclear could do the trick too. I'm ignorant here: if a nuclear device were to be used wouldn't it irradiate the surrounding water? Wouldn't fallout plumes i

Why a nuke? If you're going to use something explosive to collapse the well, I'm sure there are many other options available that would provide enough "oomph" to collapse that well. A "nuke" sounds like overkill and exaggeration.

This is a good suggestion, thank you! Maybe the local chamber of commerce too...

That isn't a bad idea at all. Since connecting a pipe is largely impossible because of the high pressure, maybe anchoring a larger flexible canopy over the well site to contain sub-sea plumes and funnel it to a couple of outputs would work.

I would imagine just "putting a cylinder" over the leak would not contain it. To begin with, the floor of the ocean isn't a solid surface, there's a lot of mud which means the opening to the hole isn't "clean cut" - any kind of "well" uses

I can agree with this sentiment, there's also nothing wrong with writing a parser that breaks the input up into pieces and validates those individual parts using specialized regular expressions.

I like that suggestion, I was big on meetups for a while when I lived in Vegas for hiking and the like, hadn't thought to join (or start) a tech related meetup.

Thank you for posting this, I'm a contractor looking for work; this looks to be a bit more niche than ELance et al (you have to request an invite to be listed!).
