Haystack hides traffic to any from the internet at large inside traffic that looks like perfectly normal web connections to innocuous sites. I don't get it. How is "hiding" this traffic amongst other innocuous traffic going to defeat, say

As the author points out, he's concerned about the future about dynamic languages on the .net platform in general. IronPython and IronRuby are just two implementations of it. The reason you should care (assuming you're a .net developer) is

Okay, I'm very impressed. I work at a financial research company so I approached this with a very skeptical eye and was worried that this was going to be "The Idiots Guide to Index Investing" where it just pushed advice without explaining w

It's a subjective question so don't feel bad about projecting. I was coming from the diametrically opposed position where I have a very specific interest and background (robotics) so I couldn't go write web-apps even if the business side ("

As an employer, wouldn't you demand someone be interested in the specific problems you're trying to solve though? Do kids who want to be part of $generic_sexy_yc_startup last long? (that's a sincere, non-rhetorical question)

Emphatically agreed. Wikileaks lost my interest after their "Collateral Murder" campaign and then later threatening to take their ball (data) and go home if they didn't meet fundraising targets. Compare that to how Wikipedia runs their affa
