kuro5hin is already in Perl :) This looks great. Going to play with this later.

Second opinions are also great to get - I could be wrong about the person, or maybe we didn't click. I like interviews to be like secret ballots: * write down what you think about the person without any external influence * then share

He is wrong about jazz, too. It doesn't suck (same with Zappa, post-Mothers). I try not to judge him too much on this, but it colors my opinion of his opinions a bit - what musician hates jazz? Then again, I am not a fan of Shellac o

This looks great. Anyone else test it out? Downloading now

I should have mentioned that precedence rules are pretty wacky. I wish that in the languages I have worked on that I could just ignore precedence and use parens, but operator precedence is expected.

I have written a few languages here and there. Hope this helps. They are all separate parts, and you can do them in any order you want. I like to think of the language as two parts - syntax and features. How do I want the language to look

Lots of the puns also come out when spoken with a Southern accent. Add a drawl and "hour" sounds a lot like "whore". And then he drew a dial from his poke, And, looking on it with lack-lustre eye, Says very wise

For a manager, I agree. An architect should write the most complicated, not the least complicated, part of code. This is assuming that the architect is the most experienced developer on the team. This doesn't include paper architects

I use soap all of the time on mine. I also scrub it off. Just throw some oil on after. Been using it for years. Cast iron is a lot less maintenance than people think. I cook food too hot for Teflon, scrape the crap out if other pans, and

I am happy with mine. I ever thought of it much until I read a few articles written by people who want to spend more time messing with their pans than cooking on them. Using cast iron is simple. Take a pan, throw in some oil, cook, clean,

The part of that thread that I found interesting were RMS's replies. He seems very measured.

Thanks. I love how you framed your post, from start to finish. What other texts do you recommend?

If you do this, please document it. The environment looks great - I love how he navigates through the debugger.

I grew up in Houston. East Texas is very different from the rest of Texas. The accent, food, culture are all much more stereotypically southern than north, west, central, or south Texas. Even the BBQ is different - you put sauce on everyt

What git gui do you recommend?

I have. Working on open sourcing the code right now.

Yup. It seemed like they were just having a good time with the journalist. Isn't there an actual real-life game where someone is sent from person to person to get help, eventually landing back at the first person?

I bite my hand. If there is no pain, then I am dreaming. My mom had once told me that she had a bad dream where someone grabbed her, and she bit the person's hand and it was like biting through dough. One night, during a dream, I rem

I agree - he is very interesting. Maybe he just took a long time to find himself. From your comment, I watched a few short interviews and he seems very bright. The early rap career was kind of cringe-worthy, but he also lived a good deal

I lucid dream almost every night. For a good deal of my life I thought that everyone did. When I am dreaming I have to check often that I am not actually awake, so I have a trick I use to make sure that I am dreaming. I know, it sounds a

I don't understand this argument. There is already a SQL standard. Start there.

While it might not be the answer, it has been a very good answer for me. Recently I worked on an Angular project that had a pretty complex data model, and converting the model to CS made the code much more readable. The rest of the app wa

Along the same line, I always think about this Mitchell and Webb bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMGIbOGu8q0

Watching 'Crossing the Line' right now. James Joseph Dresnok creeps me out. You are right about it weirding up my day. Christian Slater narrating feels surreal. It almost feels like a parody. Worth watching. I have never seen

My favorite part of Spotify is the "Related Artists" link. I can click on it and see that Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, Pink Floyd, and Queens of the Stone Age are somehow related to Led Zeppelin. This starts me on a very

I have been working remotely for 7 years now. I love it, but it is not for everyone. I remember a few months in when it really sunk in that I was actually working out of my home. My house was my office and my office was my house, and ever

I actually worked on this exact solution a few months ago. I translated excel into a javascript data structure, translating the formulas into javascript functions. The data structure could be saved to json, and them reloaded back into java

The poster mentions angularjs-rails-resource as an alternative. I am using it right now on a project and it works seamlessly bridging angular and rails.
