The IOT argument is specious and betrays a lack of understanding the challenges in connecting devices; specifically, the choice of controlling language begins at a lower level of the stack. New languages will arise, but they will be statica

How on earth do they rank talent? I can't think of any reasonable measure where the rankings would look remotely like they are. Don't tell me they're basing talent on something like crunchbase listings.

So, just to clarify...is this a port of the venerable Python lexer generator called Plex? https://pypi.python.org/pypi/plex/

I had the fortune to work down the hall from Paul a couple of years ago. There was some confusion as to whether he had died yet when I got an email about the link I posted a few days ago, so today I find myself mourning for a second time ov

Let us compare this newfangled "auto-mobile" invention to my favorite form of transportation, the horse: Where would you mount your favorite riding saddle on an auto-mobile? (Hint: start by learning metalworking)

I went from three screens to one of those new 34" curved Dell monitors and it's been a big productivity boost for me. Part of the story is that I was never fully comfortable with either xmonad or gnome-shell on multiple screens. T

Understandable. The seed environment in Boston is sub-optimal. But hopefully it will continue to change as more people like me band together with friends to start seed stage VC firms. The market is just too good to not take advantage while

Ah, the hiring equivalent of "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM". I've seen the same with people only hiring Harvard Business School grads. I figure school-based hiring practices like that are a pretty good indication of p

As someone who spent time at MIT and Georgia Tech, MIT may be a bit better but the difference in quality of labs, resources and faculty is pretty small, with lots of cross pollination between the schools (exe: Thad Starner jumping ship from

I have, for data-flow analysis software. Haskell gets used in the oddest places, where one of two things is true: 1. Nothing else works (with reasonable LOC *and* performance) 2. The safety of an advanced type system is required

Some of this is very good, and it's a good beginner's introduction, but there is significant misunderstanding about the applications of FRP and the actor model in the area of complex event processing. These are fertile areas of CS

Finally, finally, finally! I've been waiting for either DO or Linode to offer this since forever. Now the only thing left on my wishlist is OpenBSD support.

No, I'm a long-time Linux user. I don't install G++ because I don't need it (I work in Haskell and Python) and I try not to install unnecessary packages or remove them when I'm finished. You do generally need gcc (or cla

You're being downvoted because your point is nonsensical. First, GHC is not the same as requiring Java, since you don't need it to run the code. If you replaced Java with C++ your first comment would be more accurate. Second, co

I think you've pretty much nailed it. A highly paid engineer is still basically upper middle class in a land of multinational corporate lawyers, consultants and bankers.

Most of the successful founders in Boston don't believe in the "promote Boston tech" agenda and so probably weren't too keen on accepting the interviews. It's basically the job of Tim Rowe, Abby Fichtner, etc. to pr

I'll chime in here as someone who studied to become a physicist: it's not bullshit; the truth about the nature of matter is too complex (and weird ) for someone without a deep understanding of mathematics to understand. Particle&

Even if Mojang might as well be Notch's child, if I were him I'd be laughing all the way to the bank at that acquisition price. And I really hope he's making a lot of his employees rich in the process.

My whole comment was facetious, but I also want to make people think. Companies like Facebook and Paypal, when they go public, produce a huge number of angel investors. When startups like Akamai get huge, they often don't produce the s
