Another book for my collection, wonderful! I think SunDew is definitely the better name ... unless your goal is to make people forget the technology came from Sun. Of course, that didn’t happen anyway, so maybe they should have just stuck w

I've read a couple of books about Sun (maybe I should say, "both books about Sun") and my memory is that NeWS was considered significantly more elegant than X11 by many people who understood the problem space, and Sun was set

Yes -- at first I saw emacs' age as an annoyance, now I find it to be its greatest strength. Yes, elisp could be more "modern," even by lisp standards. Yes, twiddling a bunch of global vars and then calling global functions i

Are you sure the rule wasn’t “don’t publish something only proof-read by the author?” The best journalists I’ve worked with do extensive self editing. Then they file their copy to an editor. Also, journalists work in a different context tha

This was a key textbook in an incredibly useful rhetoric class I took as an undergraduate that influences my writing to this day.

Not to say you’re wrong, but, as one data point, I’m a parent and would be very game for this. I’ve actually done things only slightly short of it. I’d rather go full bore working with the team than do these multi day projects in isolation

Not an extra 90 cents per mask, an extra 8 cents per mask. “His masks may cost a dime each, but a made-in-China mask might go for two cents.” A hospital charged my friend $5k for three stitches. They could pay 8 cents more per mask. But the

This approach seems to have served emacs quite well; the config is just some elisp. It’s weird more programmers don’t copy this approach, given how many of them use emacs. Of course, you start out just cargo culting emacs config, so many ma

I always add an “Accept-Encoding” header to my request to indicate I will accept a gzip response (or deflate if available). Your http library (in whatever language your bot is in) probably supports this with a near trivial amount of additio

Yes the initial hype on Java when it came out of Sun was all around desktop use, often but not exclusively in browser. They even tinkered with the idea of writing the browser — even an OS! — in Java. There was literally something called Jav

I am seeing a lot of comments on this story complaining that it is anecdotal or that New York is extraordinary and thus this is implicitly less important to people outside New York. I live in the city of New York and I think it's impor

Woah, I remember Inktomi. So was this a group run by Eric Brewer? My first email account was on a Sun in Evans basement at OCF. I believe it (the account) is still operative. Albeit on Linux now.

Very cool to hear that Wireshark has roots in a user group! Personally, I was deeply inspired to start thinking about hypertext publishing after visiting a UCSD Mac User Group as a high school student around 1992 and seeing amazing HyperCar

If OP just meant ruby is syntactically complex compared to lisp, there’s really no arguing with that! :-) it just applies to so many languages — any non lisp — and seems an odd thing to single out Ruby for. (Perl, on the other hand...)

I think Rails fits what Hickey says about easy complexity very well. Ruby not at all - I find it very much not “braided together” compared to other programming languages. It’s still object oriented, and Hickey’s talk is largely directed at
