   heh - I didn't think about that til you mentioned it. Yes, but during the 2002-2007 time frame, I was aware of what was at the "front of the parade" for python. Nothing really stood out til Rails. If I knew Aaron Swartz, things might have b

   actually just re-read my post. it makes me cringe a little. I was in a hurry and hit send a bit too fast. The other choices: I like node. I've always liked the async/model on unix. Their community is healthy and a lot of the open source is

   I will give you my 2 cents on this argument. tl;dr - Python had no web frameworks built in or community favorite. Rails was a complete re-think of how to do web apps in the age of XML (acaffolding, convention over config, etc.) Every langua

   Cool - when will Windows support the 'fork' call? If they do that and support the '/' as a path separator (which was always there), Windows might get a resurgence.

   I definitely bookmarked this. This is going to be a fun diversion in my spare time.

    Thanks for starting this petition. I signed, tweeted, and facebooked it.

    I listen to anything electronic or just nature sounds. Neither have that much structure, and they definitely do not have vocals.

    Yes, I suspect the mobile devices will not have the ability to display this content. However, if you enable WebGL on Safari via the Developer menu, the page will render really well on a Mac.

    Perspective. When I read the original announcement for this app. It sounded cheery. The design is really pretty good. Over time, though, I've learned to keep an eye on these announcements. Not just cheddar, but all of the 'check us out' pos

    There are much better libs out there that do this. I always use the utarray and uthash stuff when I can.

    I don't see any evidence presented that it is smaller or faster on this page.

    Also, if you use map and you want to easily filter out values, and 'nil' is an ok sentinel for this, then just use compact after the map.

    Awesome - I had the same question. I was basically wondering how to inform the system of the opportunity to parallelize. BTW, Hutton's book on Haskell is just so excellent.

    Wow - excellent link. I've been thinking about this lately. I'm not alone in thinking that languages are going to be important here. This is a great resource for further study! Thanks!

    Sigh. SGI had this in Ultrix in 1991-1992ish (maybe earlier). Why? Their market was graphics. If anything non-essential prevented the system from rendering a frame, an attempt was made to run that on another processor. I remember a 4 proces

    I used to read it when it started. They used to only have about 5 articles a day, and then only post the next day. Once they removed that limit I stopped. I use that filter on most sites except for HN.

    not sure, but I wanted to say thanks for the C as a functional language links you replied with earlier. Comments are off after 14 days so I couldn't say thank you there. The closest was the function pointer one, but it still wasn't the one

    Pricing is secondary to product. If you don't have a good product, nothing else matters. Once you have a good product, then you focus on pricing. Once you figure out the product and pricing, then you ...

    Thanks for sharing your experience. When I think back, I realize that whenever I implemented your advice, I did feel "less crappy" 1. Biking to work is a great way to start the morning. I did it for a few years, and I really miss it. My wor

    Agree with most of your point Chuck. However, I think most people on HN are in the startup phase. They are doing customer discovery/development to find something that is actually valuable. This post is really optimization in the execution p

    I know C well, but check out links like these on news sites occasionally. (Just like this story) This book reminded me of an online C tutorial that proceeded to teach C in a functional style. I don't remember if they explicitly stated it
