I think this is a neat project and a nice demonstration of how Lisp-influenced Ruby is. However, whenever people post "Lisp in Ruby" stories, I always hope that it'll be a "Clojure in Ruby" implementation. I am surprised no-one has done it

I'm personally not so sure. Because Denmark is a small country, it's a much closer-knit community than, say, the US. I grew up with a lot of Danish-created media, and paid as much attention to that as I did English-based media. Any Danish k

I am a native Danish speaker (my first language) and this article definitely rings true to me. I wouldn't go so far as to say that English is a Scandinavian language proper, but it was very easy to learn growing up. Even as a kid growing up

I can't tell if you're trolling or being willfully ignorant? Zero represents the state of "nothingness" - the universe before anything exists. The blank slate, tabula rasa, etc. The empty page before you write anything it. Zero is a very de

I believe the 'economies of scale' argument, but I also imagine that this move is related to the RedShift announcement. If Amazon wants users to use their offering for data warehousing and analytics, they'll need lots of cheap storage for h

Hopefully folks reading this article won't take it to mean that humans still need to continue consuming large amounts of meat. Maybe it was necessary to eat meat and hunt to evolve large brains, but the negative economic & ecological

I really hope that's not the case. Even as a tech person, I wouldn't want people looking only at my Github page. Call me old-fashioned, but I like the "resume feeling" that LinkedIn provides.

Honestly? Give it a rest? I'd usually try to write a more objective comment, but in this case it's pretty simple. Not. Bloody. Likely.

Well, it certainly sounds like you're more than capable of working really hard and achieving good grades. Having to struggle isn't a bad thing - the key is learning to enjoy the feeling (not easy, I'll admit). At least where I went to schoo

Do you have the possibility of going back to school? I don't know how old you are, but maybe a masters degree in CE could help you.

It was a great article, and I was happy to see David write something with a positive slant. He's a deft operator of flamethrowers, but it's nice to get the other side of him too.

Wanting to work fewer hours is something I think we all hope for, but it also depends on what we're after in life. I was reminded of this essay from Paul Graham: http://paulgraham.com/wealth.html

I'm surprised they only order from Jing Jing in Palo Alto. I mean, it's a great place but there are lots of other good places too. (Hunan Garden on El Camino comes to mind).

Very good article, though I doubt it'll convince the usual mass of unbelievers. (I love Lisp, for the record, though my primary exposure has been through Emacs Lisp - so shoot me). A really great book that helps you get appreciate the conce

That's absolutely true - some things are easier to change than others. I like your sushi example; it's easy for most people to "try something new" when the experience feels disposable and non-threatening to someone's current worldview. It i

Okay, yes - technically speaking, there are countries out there who have more than one official currency. But with every single listing of a country that has more than one currency, there is a political reason why (see Ecuador) and it has

No, you're right, I am saying it is destabilizing for a country to have more than one currency. It does weird things to culture. Look at why Europe is so messed up right now - they adopted a single currency without a real government to matc

This is a bit of a straw man - these are either all financial products or local currencies. The point is that they all convert into dollars and I will certainly never use BerkShares for as long as I live. I only take US dollars. Also, the
