Woz is the epitome of Zen.

Man that's a good idea, but I take it to the opposite extreme. I just can't bring myself to be an early riser, egads. You've inspired me to give it a try sometime though. :)

No, it's just descriptivist trash and proper use of the language. More like, should've looked it up in the dictionary and found neophobia . Intellectual laziness is not just cause for using words improperly.

This has inspired me to use larger fonts when I rebuild/redesign my personal site.

Okay, I'm sorry, yikes. I wish I could delete the comment but I caught it too late.

You're using your non-fake account, borkbork. What gives, why bother?

It's a good way to put how I've approached many contracts and jobs in the past.

Precisely why I stopped caring and focused on forward movement.

Singapore far and away. Low taxes, big time entrepreneurial community, cheap labor... but high rent.

Linode! Fastest there is, cheap, and they have an API. Plus no contract.

You want to B2B this. Developing an anti-spam system isn't something you can just hack up though, being any better than the rest requires post-doc grade research backing your algorithms and bayesian filters. Unless you're some kind of laten

Wow, way to make me feel terrible about not having more serious side projects while I work full time :P

My coworker and friend danced for Chris yesterday. I don't know why but I always find anecdotes about how Reddit got started really fascinating. Perhaps personal interest.

That's what I meant to express precisely. I'm sorry you were dissatisfied but I was fighting leiningen and swank-clojure while transcribing. You may have your refund of $0.00 for my services in two weeks.

I pretty much live on freenode in all the dev channels, but I keep the terminal on a fairly isolated place so that I don't get distracted. Keep a shell on my linode, /lastlog to check to see if anybody was lookin' for me.

Google doesn't have a market-share that constitutes monopoly in anything, especially in a market (search) where the switch cost is nothing. You'd be closer to the mark accusing the iPhone of having a monopoly on telephony simply because it

I find this doubly amusing because he used to play WoW.

One task to a machine can save a lot of trouble, ie, not having the database on the local app server + having varnish + nginx in front of it.

The only mentions of Google concern Google Docs being SAAS and thus being unacceptable. Hence, he was still lying about Stallman "using Google search". My cry of shenanigans stands.

>This is why RMS himself said he uses Google. Where exactly did he say this? He's opposed cloud services from the beginning and designed GPLv3 to attack web apps. Last I checked, the man scarcely browsed the web.

You're chasing a dragon he's already tired of finicking over.

by alnayyir 16y ago
Helpful and friendly, thank you. I wasn't really getting the oblique way he was describing it. :)

by alnayyir 16y ago
I'm laughing but not really certain what you were originally advocating here.
836.
by alnayyir 16y ago
Cool, thanks for your thoughts. I always felt like Clojure was attempting a permissive system, whereas Erlang really is pretty up-front about the environment it's designed to work in. I keep meaning to fiddle with Reia but never got around

You linked to a web design website in defense of trival eye candy in a discussion about computer science. I'll just leave it at that.

by alnayyir 16y ago
Sounds about right. Since you're apparently familiar with both Clojure and Erlang, what are your feelings regarding the concurrency model in each?

Just wondering, thanks for letting me know. I have no idea what constitutes normal ad rates for a site because all the projects I've worked on have been pathological cases in either direction. What would some realistic numbers for somethi

$130k/year with your numbers. That'll cover the servers, easy, but what about salaries?
