Forth is the Unabomber of programming languages. Most people who admire it (or him) don't say so in public.

You assume the OP knows them himself. You're a far more optimistic person than I am.

Unix is the language of hackers. If you use a hacker language (Clojure), one should expect the natives to be 90%< unix. I empathize with your pains, but you can't walk into a biker bar and ask for filet mignon.

Well intentioned, but uninformed. Some people are way too enthusiastic about things they don't totally grasp. Cf. carbon expenditure, recycling (some forms), hybrid automotives, rails (lot of fakers in the 'community'), etc. Edit: I would

It's not even really a law of economics or nature. Or a law. It's a state of a tendency if the rate of expansion of transistor density. At present, it's more economical (if you don't need programmatic elastic expansion of your cluster) to r

See? You keep getting downvoted. Exercise some self-control and dignity and focus on the topic at hand. I'm violating my own habits here to try to show you what you're doing. And getting back to the subject, are you aware of any companies t

Don't ask meta questions like that please, distracts from the conversation at hand.

Are you really complaining about a lack of blogspam? Dear lord. I'd prefer people say as little as is needed to spur thought and conversation without directing me to some ghetto blogspot page that lurched into existence a week prior.

I must be the only eligible male with a job in NYC who hasn't found a woman or something, and I'm actually considering taking a job in SF (because of the job and the culture). I don't know if I didn't date because I was too busy, didn't c

I'm a generalist that found work as a 'Django developer', and I actually ended up enjoying it, despite Django's flaws (minimal compared to what other frameworks are out there). I do in fact spend most of my programming time on Python, and I

I don't think the distinction between engineer and programmer is incredibly meaningful unless we're discussing 1. People with professional qualifications (I mean licensed engineers, ie Canada/UK) 2. You're comparing 'engineers' against blub

Some people are way too accustomed to the consumption-driven lifestyle and think they'll perish if they make less than $60k/year.

I'm a programmer messing around with dev kits. I think building a million of something is a Maserati Problem (TM), at this point.

I don't think you understand what I was describing as frustrating. Ignorance isn't the problem, it's the uncertainty of tools and "what I need to get started". I love solving problems, discovering new things, but the whole embedded dev expe

Thanks for the tl;dr, I'm left wondering about the state of the software to actually program and deploy code to the device though. From what I saw on HackADay, it appears the two supported IDEs are Windows only (utterly unacceptable, for me

The only state I'm aware of that for sure guarantees ownership of projects worked on in free-time while an employee is California. Otherwise, you're going to need to provide your locale.
