Haha! One of my most favorite anime from the 90s. Really glad to see that mentioned on here. Video of the related neural interface (for the YF-21 "Omega One" fighter aircraft): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSkhk

Please define low RAM. I've got a t2.small server on AWS that's taking in a low/moderate logging from three servers (syslog x3, nginx x3, zero-low traffic redis) and it's usually in the 750MB of RAM with absolutely no no

They mention several ambitious projects and, at the risk of beating a dead horse, I would presume that includes working with AngularJS. I'd love to read about the shortcomings of the projects that were shelved after they settled on R

Middle-click on the "Hiring" link doesn't work as expected, unfortunately. Seems to be KISSmetrics hijacking it. Other than that it's a generally good article.

Have you been paying any attention to HN for the past three years? Plenty of articles about feminism, politics, and AI make it to the top on a fairly irregular basis, but they still make it to the top. And who are you to make a point about
