Hah. I remember a very old interview with the founder of Slicehost. Said something to the effect of it being very scary and odd that the internet books giant was suddenly his competition.

Well, not having a stable release at this point could be considered a downside. Clearly there's some ground to steal from C & C++ and some advantage to getting there first. Just playing devil's advocate here as I am a rust fan

It would be considered exciting and dangerous to go somewhere without the internet. To some degree I suppose it's already true about phone service.

Back when I was playing with PLDI, I would read the source code for the simpler garbage collectors out there as well as several I wrote myself. Amazing how touchy and error-prone it can be. It taught me a lot, because programming a garbage

If anything, Javascript suffered because it had large corporations invested in it. The guys at PUC-Rio were never beholden to corporate sponsors as far as I know, and thus free to break compatibility.

Hah. I just realized "Considered Harmful" was clickbait in programming/tech communities long before we had "one weird trick" and listicles. I always hated that title, and wondered if the authors had even read the or

I'm a night owl, but I wouldn't say I prefer it just for the lighting. Are you sure you don't prefer the lack of interruption that often accompanies dark, late night work environments? Even with good noise cancelling headphon

First: looks great, well done. The problem with other food databases I've seen is the amount of duplicate or incorrect information. Are y'all actively taking steps to curtail this?

The more you do yourself, the more you will learn. If you're just learning and not trying to build the next big programming language, try and do some of the low level stuff yourself. Write a parser, write a garbage collector and a virt

Good to see rubinius is still chugging along and doing things its own way. A while back the IRC channel was the place for a lot of interesting PLDI discussion.

It is certainly gambling, but it's explicitly legal under certain conditions per the UIGEA. And there is definitely a skill component as well.

Conversely, I've lost a bunch of weight by not tracking calories (or anything for that matter, beyond glancing at nutritional labels). I focus on eating protein, fiber and fat so I fill up quickly. Our approach might seem to be at odds

To be honest I was just kind of thinking "oh great another language implementation," before I read what you're actually doing and why you needed to create clasp. I appreciate the difficulty of writing precisely GC'd C&#x

Is the compacting garbage collector mentioned in the article not a proper moving GC? I am not familiar with it.

Is there something special about node's REPL I'm missing? Just about every language has one. IPython is pretty snazzy.

I wonder how coding in front of a live audience frequently would change how you write code. I can imagine both positive and negative effects. I think you would probably get very good at getting boilerplate code out of the way, but I assume

Sunlight is great, but once your circadian rhythm gets messed up it's not enough. Blue light from artificial sources does suppress melatonin production quite well, which can change your circadian rhythm for better or worse.

I'm getting along very well with an HP Chromebook 14 running crouton. I do programming and watch videos and other stuff without involving The Cloud. Not an option for the average consumer but for HN readers, an intriguing option.
