Can you publish your numbers afterward? Or just whether you thought it was worth it? (Or something along those lines) I have seen this strategy recommended to gauge interest, but have always been wary of doing it myself (for exactly this re

Thanks Joe.

Yep, you got me. I hadn't read the FAQ. Thanks for that.

What do you see as the potential areas where RethinkDB will shine? Also, I am excited to try this out. I always enjoyed your writings and I am sure you + team have made something awesome.

Wow, I had forgotten about how disappointed I was when I found out about winmodems. That tempered my fascination with Linux fairly quickly at the time.

How much does that cost?

Do you think you got lucky or that your skill as a trader made you this money? Or rather, which of these do you think mattered most?

How are you so awesome? Also, this is really great news. I am glad to see that you've gotten such great investors!

What are companies like yours thoughts on people who don't have much "portfolio" work, but have been working on a side project that seems to at least superficially match your goals and mission? I have been working on a project (web and iOS

That would be really awesome. Overall I like this landing page, but my main question is "how good is the summary?" and "Can I trust the summary generated?" Maybe non-technical people are just like, "Yeah! Awesome!" and that is all that matt

My thoughts exactly. The author should reconsider what he means by "mastering" something. Not passing a final exam for an introductory course isn't mastering the topic. I am totally on board with the idea of seeing how fast someone can comp

Citations? I am familiar with the parent's argument, but haven't heard this one before.

That is a pretty glowing review. I went through their blog and found a couple others. Thanks for the pointer. It looks like there has already been a bit of code released to help make it more like programming with other Ruby frameworks. I'm

I will be interested to see a good comparison of productivity vs. Objective-C based stuff. We are about to decide whether to build our iOS app in Ruby or Objective-C, and as we are primarily a Ruby shop are leaning in that direction, but ar

This looks like the complex differentiation of 1/z with a grid like domain.

So what needs to be done in Rust? It seems like a pretty interesting language, and I have some free time coming up. What kinds of things would people like to see?

I would add that it is pretty easy to get started with on Rails as well. Using the Sunspot library for Solr is super easy to use and has been really flexible for our use cases. It is a solid piece of software.

I do like his slide decks as they are better than 99% of the ones that I see, but what it really points out (to me) is how little time everyone else puts into how their decks look. In my experience it isn't particularly hard or time consumi

This looks pretty excellent. I will be trying this out later.

I have also made the observation that coming back to mathematics after a few months makes it seem much easier. Several famous mathematicians pointed out this effect as well (I can only recall Bertrand Russell saying it at the moment). It ev

Wow, wish I had found out about this earlier! I would've loved to visit Google Chapel Hill, but the event is today and I am headed out of town!

I think we are close to having the software engineering ability to create the infrastructure needed to support a self-improving optimization process. The feats of software engineering in the last decade or so seem like strong evidence that

You say decentralized services never work, and then give an example of the most successful one: email. I don't know why you are assuming that everyone will have to run their own. Also, it seems very cynical/naive to think that just because

It seems like an increasing number of people are mentioning Geometric Algebra and everyone that likes it seems to _really_ like it. It is getting to the point where I am going to have to learn it just to see what the hype is about. (I love

While ultimately I do agree with you, especially about humans trying to beat HFT in the short term, I don't think HFT and algorithmic trading are _currently_ the panacea you are making them out to be. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Flas

Trading stocks is fantastically easier, sure. That is obvious. And he says so at the end: "There is value to trading automation. It is here to stay." He never says _trading_ is difficult. Your comment would be more interesting if it confron

A lot of people would rather watch experts play a sport than play it themselves. I have met quite a few people that sort of gave up on being good at Starcraft 2 and instead watch the experts play it. Watching experts execute highly trained

Thanks. I find a lot of the Plan 9 stuff very fascinating, and I often think about what it would take to port some of the functionality to OSX. I find it interesting that you mentioned the window management as being one of the big selling p

I thought the executing arbitrary text was pretty awesome, but I would definitely love to see more examples and uses. I was also thinking - how hard would it be to add this to Emacs? does it already exist?

Have you written up a summary of your experiences? I would love to see a comparison from an Emacs user that switched to Acme. So many of the concepts just seem painful to me at first glance (What? I have to use the mouse for things?) but I
