Yes, there's a shortage of engineers in NYC, but that's largely because of high demand. Google and banks and startups are all struggling to hire.

Don't get me wrong, I'm plenty capable with real world stuff. I just don't like it when people think a CS education should mean learning Java libraries and design patterns and server configuration. I'm glad I wasn't forced to waste my tim

While I'm surprised someone got through four years of CS without learning to use mv, if you are looking for 'developers' then you should look for software engineering majors, and if you are looking for sysadmins then you should look at peop

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with cygwin? I'm not a big Node guy, but I run it on cygwin for the sake of CoffeeScript and I've written a few small Node apps as well. Hasn't been even slightly painful.

Knowing about competitors who beat you to market, have traction, and have an 'army of developers' is probably something to do before you build a product. At this point all you can do is work on your product. Maybe you can find a pain point

Yes, but it's a silly comparison. Israel has areas like the Valley too.

Well, what's the VC per capita for Haifa? Why do you think it's interesting to compare the area with the highest concentration of startups in the US to another entire country? Either compare country-to-country or highly concentrated start

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I had to implement a B+-tree using only a 2D byte array as a sophomore, so I don't think I'll ever be able to forget how they work.

I agree that the article was wrong, but...is there really never a case in which a B-tree is a useful in-memory index, rather than a storage technique?

Surprised that `ctrl-F incent` yields no results in the article or the comments. Sounds like a simple matter of incentivization to me. When you live in a relatively socialist country that puts discouraging penalties on rewards, why take a

A lot of startups use Python - Django is the Python analogue of Rails. Dropbox uses Python, as do Parsely, Lot18, Hunch, et al.

It's called "availability bias", because certain examples are more 'available' than others.

Cool. Your overview should probably mention this.

The part I'm wondering is how I get a phone number pointed at my server in the first place.

That's not really a non-irrelevant example - it isn't different from a double-negative, which isn't a good way to write non-confusing English. I don't see a problem with something like `unless forbidden`, though.

>English is English, code is code. I'm not sure this kind of 'render unto Caesar' thinking is conducive to literate code. Definitely agree with you on the suffix conditionals.

Yannes, re your last point, look into the => function glyph, which handles the function binding issue you describe.

Does the plain Lua interpreter also JIT? PyPy is written in Python and it's a lot faster than CPython in many cases, thanks in large part to the JIT.

You're recommending COBOL as more maintainable than Rails? I don't know Rails, but I find this very hard to believe.

Seems like just looking at tf-idf would be useful. Could result in some false positive tags, but this shouldn't actually break the system, just perhaps add a little noise to the tag list.

If you read my comment a little more carefully, you'd know I'm not anti-starch. I avoid anti-nutritious and harmful grains like wheat, but I eat potatoes with zeal.

Ancient life expectancy numbers are misleading because of very high infant mortality. And even if that weren't the case, your reasoning is faulty. I have more or less the same gut as a caveman, so it makes sense to eat what they were opti

Well, depends how you define 'healthy', but most vegetarians eat plenty of grains and legumes, if not sugar.

You'll note that I stated explicitly that I'm not following standard paleo. I gave the following as one of the resources I like: http://www.archevore.com/get-started/ (formerly panu.com, for Paleo Nu).
