In my defense, I pulled the option and tuple examples straight from the scala docs. This was just my experience working with the language for a while. Apparently if I had taken the time to learn Scala better I would have been amazed?

In Scala I was using just actors and then sometimes good old java.lang.concurrent. That actually gets into one of the things I like about Go over Scala. Scala is a total mess. There are three different ways to do things, none of which seem

The basic site is in Ruby and Rails, but the API, which handles all the high volume stuff, is written in Go. So far it's fantastic. I'm actually giving a talk at Bacon in London in April on my experience building this in Go vs. Scala or Nod

although patent law doesn't seem to be the culprit here. Either way, it's shameful that Fab can sue for look/feel.

as is the landing page for any http://launchrock.com/ site and a million other web sites on the internet. If that's the criteria for suing someone (which it seems to be), we seriously need to rethink the entire system. Throwing out all pa

I have serious doubts that you found a nice place for $10 a night. I went there for 12 days in Jan '09 and I found that the prices were ok, but they definitely weren't third-world. It's developed now and you pay accordingly. It also seemed

The use of the graph is ridiculous in this post. If the author wants to predict a free Kindle in the near future and back it up with some one line quote from Bezos, fine. However, that graph is pointless. I can craft countless other curves

actually, I'm looking at it from both sides. I'm working on my own startup right now and I hope that I'll be hiring people later this year. My point is that job hopping doesn't factor in as a signal on whether your resume ends up in the int

I agree that you don't want half of your company's knowledge to walk out the door. My point was that finding people that are blindly loyal (something you're very unlikely to do) isn't the solution. The solution is to engender an environment
