If you can't see it, ask your manager. Or your manager's manager. Or someone who is actually using nlp or stuff like that. Or just grab a (any) book on psychology. But of course, if somebody doesn't want to think on it because I offended

Computers are not social - they are oversized counters. Networks are not social - they are mediums to carry what counters produce. Groups of people can be social - but if they use less expressive way of communication (read: words typed as

You missed my point, I said "at the moment", so let's repeat: it's artificial when it happens at the same time when real communication is in place already but people turn to their twitter or whatever. On the other hand if you have a problem

by kunley 16y ago
No. people feel the need to be artificially connected and artificially communicating while sacrificing the REAL connection and communication which is actually taking place at the moment.

Emacs, since 14 years. I was looking for something better each 2 years or so -- yeah emacs isn't perfect -- but didn't find.

Yeah well somehow the link doesn't redirect to the actual comment so we see just a blog entry; and now the 900% comment got rotated out from the entry page. Thank you, you seem to have corrected the title of your submission. Still I'm not s

The actual 900% argument is buried in the comments of a frustrated user who said almost nothing about technical parameters of his experiment. Please don't submit a title like that next time.

I'd use FreeBSD. OpenSolaris is officially dead. Solaris isn't low cost for sure. FreeBSD gives you a high performing io/network stack plus extras from Solaris world, like DTrace & ZFS, plus a focus of maintainers on just these features

I guess there's an established trend how one writes about switching to new language: it's usually a long blog post containing facts distilled by others, sometimes mixed with author's wishful thinking. All that because author probably feels

I can imagine. I live in Poland, that's why I asked. I guess you agree that our nations have things in common: kind of stubbornness but also wild imagination. There are even some old historical sayings about it.. We seem to have completely

The best you can do is to Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years.. http://norvig.com/21-days.html PS. I'm not sarcastic. Actually, the article contains the best advices for a programmer I ever read. Maybe you just don't have to rush thin

You sound exactly like an official propaganda. You know, my Russian friends are learning history of their own country from history books written in Poland. Even with recurring anti-russian bias in these books there are actually different po

This is a common wishful thinking but actually no one of the famous "drug-philosophers", starting from Huxley, managed to create any path or even small practice or routine which could be used by other people than themselves to improve their

Because, sadly, people have egos. Everyone wants to be famous and reach thousands of others, even when what he's spreading is completely irrelevant. Twitter enables this for everyone.

Gentlemen, I think the whole emacs-is-too-big point is totally obsolete in this century. Vim eats 8-10M of my memory. Emacs with many different modes running eats 15-20M. It mattered back in 1996 when I've had 24M of RAM, heck I remember pr

Good point -- instance methods make it all a bit dirty. I usually use some meta trickery to turn toplevel methods, which can be mentally eq to defuns, into oo-chainable stuff. Well I suppose I just should clean this code and put an example

Yeah that's true and my Clojure code contained a hell lot of -> and ->> constructs. They're very useful.

I find Ruby really close to CL/Clojure with regard to happily not using design patterns. I usually write pure code and use long method chains -- it mimics the Unix paradigm with small tools connected with pipes. I rarely write proper clas

I see your point. Still it would be useful to see some typical BSD/kqueue in action compared to typical Linux/*poll. I bet Zed is not doing a big sysctl tuning at this stage. Just leaving default system settings as they are still is some st

The Linux numbers were actually taken from Debian. On both families of systems you can decide what to rule out and this is healthy thing to do. But, you know, there's still a difference in thinking. On BSD I'm sure what constitutes a core s

I work on both BSDs and Linux boxes and this fact struck me recently: for i in /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin; do ls $i|wc -l; done Linux: 124 2155 67 FreeBSD: 44 430 1067 On BSD, you clearly see which programs are essential fo

I'm aware of it (you forgot to mention that kqueue is on the OS X as well). So what? There are probably hordes of people who will be willing to run Mongrel2 on *BSD platforms, precisely because of the performance reasons. And Zed is a famou

by kunley 16y ago
Cool experiment Mr Zed, but what about kqueue? It seems superior to both *poll minions. Would be great if you proved/falsified this thesis as well.

Yeah but still being hacker is to make oneself uncomfortable when not being skilled enough, then to overcome this by practicing the skill. So maybe we should say that it depends if someone is a hacker or a coding monkey. I've seen rates of
