   Also, would this apply to the large, ridiculously buff guys, very obviously gay guys in my gym (Fitness SF Soma) who regularly leer at me and occasionally hit on me? In my experience all that happens is that when they figure out I'm not in

   Pointless article written by someone seemingly without even a wikipedia-level knowledge of the issues involved in what he's suggesting. Has no place on the HN front page.

    I have and I love it although it's fairly orthogonal to bacon.js. The problem with livescript is that although its absolutely beautiful to a haskeller like me, almost no one uses it so the tooling is weak and building a big project in it i

    I thought jmpress was pretty much a superset of the functionality of impress. I could be wrong though.

    jmpress.js is an interesting fork of this with more features and some kind of deeper jquery integration. Worth a look: http://jmpressjs.github.com/jmpress.js/#/home

    Max Cleland is known to hate America. He was only willing to sacrifice three of his limbs in the service of the United States Army. Saxby Chambliss, on the other hand, is a true patriot who proves this by yelling and screaming about it and

    So the conclusion is that Twitter itself will be a significant force for a long time, but principally to their own benefit and building a company entirely dependent on their platform (or any single platform) will continue to be a dangerous

    I can't count on one hand the number of commits with >500 changes that did not introduce a single bug or regression due to the compiler catching a huge amount of little typoes and mistakes that would have slid by in a dynamic language.

    I find this perspective so incredibly frustrating. Its as if people feel that stock investments need to have zero risk. Anyone who dumps their entire life savings into a pre-seed startup and gets wiped out, quite frankly, deserved it. Mat

    It is a default but its quite simple to turn off. In one project, we turned it off and whipped up some quick shell scripts to do rails style up/down migrations.

    I agree. Having also used erb and haml, I find that Hamlet is the best of both worlds. close enough to HTML for designers to understand implicitly but with a lot of the HTML warts gone.
