   I don't think that this will affect original (western) company. Most people who will choose Indian drug over original, simply can't afford it, even in their dreams. On the other hand, those who can easily afford it, will go for it over "fak

   Yes, I know what differentiates Clojure from CL (or Scheme). What I'm saying is that it is possible to have most part of these goodies in non S-expr language. Except maybe homoiconicity and advanced macros (Although being S-expr is not requ

   I agree, language itself is not a problem. It is iOS API that matters (or needs to be fixed, in context of this thread). Actually, I can say the same regarding Java/Android API correlation.

   What I meant is that one can't pirate media or software. Call it copying or sharing without permission of an original author, but that has nothing to do with piracy, theft, murder, etc...

   I really don't get this hype about lisp-like languages. I think Scheme is the only language who is more or less acceptable for such a role. Others (including Common Lisp) are just too complex for writing in them ASTs (yes, S-expression is A

   There is no such a concept as "BitTorrent Pirate". Where do you get these?

   Then there will be no difference from other crowded IT job boards. Personally I prefer existence of more unique job boards with their individual characteristics. It is way more easy to find your "dream job".

    Yes, and dropbox is used as a workaround (besides other things of course). I've even seen ios apps where file saving is done by e-mailing it.

    Well, isn't this because that Apple somehow forgot about existence of such a basic concept as FILE?

    If I ever start-up something, main goal would be to get a passive income (yes, not quite "startup-ish"). Then I'll pursue a PhD in CS.

    While Joel's articles are interesting and, as a user, I like their products, from an outsider's point of view, I have an impression that their internal engineering is, as we call it - "yet another CRUD job", but "packed" in a shiny way. It

    Well, for true hackers[1], it is not about getting shit done. It is about how shit is done or, to be precise, how proof-of-concept shit is done. And getting enjoyment out of the process itself. [1] Yes, hackers, not entrepreneurs.

    The About page generated in the demo video doesn't look modern or impressive in any other meaning. Would be great to see video with more advanced example.

    Please forgive me my ignorance, but why are these DCPU-16 implementations in <put your favorite language> [in less than X lines] popping up in recent days?

    One thing to note is that we are talking about humans[1]. So there are no absolute A's, B's or C's. These are just values for the given _time_. If you're a decent company, you shouldn't hesitate to invest in B,C players so that they become

    My overall impression regarding Rust is that it has an extremely noisy syntax (and I'm a pro {} guy).

    Mike, any chance for a remote (Europe) employment?

    It would be great if job postings will include regions (Europe, Asia, etc...).
