I started this as a project to learn Go, Backbone.js, Socket.io, and Redis. And thought that I may as well turn it into a tutorial in the hopes it helps other people learn too. It's a live commenting system. Designed to be a cross between

You're turning it into a false dichotomy (of never ship vs always ship all the time). The point is more that you should be finishing stuff (including shipping), instead of starting projects and leaving them half-done forever.

Bah! I was hoping to download the source (from here: http://info.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/Z.Kalal/tld.html ) and check out his algorithm, but he requires you to email him with his project. If anyone knows how the algorithm works, or where

I believe that is more to do with baggage handler's unions and worker regulation. Though they certainly exaggerate it to make a profit.

As a warning, a lot of the controls seemed pretty broken on the iPhone. The auto-complete field totally screwed up Safari (couldn't de-select it), and the sliders were impossible to drag.

I've done several smaller projects in it (command-line tools, one-off programs, etc), and I've been building a small web app in it (as a learning exercise). I'm planning to post my results, and a brief tutorial when I get it finished. Cur

I agree with your main point, but I would probably consider being shot with an AK-47 to be a pretty "once-in-a-lifetime catastrophic event".

If you want a bit higher-level package web.go is interesting: http://www.getwebgo.com/ (I was going to say it is excellent, but I haven't actually had a chance to build anything in it yet)

I'm curious what the opinion of people here is as far as how much F-U-Money is "enough". Obviously it probably depends on your goals, but is there a reliable way of calculating the amount needed?

Conspicuously missing is the brilliant new Proc.curry method! For those that don't know currying is a method that returns another Proc with one fewer argument, so you can do: multiply = Proc.new { |x, y| x * y } multiply_by_five = mul

Fair enough, but classifying something as "unproductive" just because you don't enjoy doing it seems a bit... incorrect. I'm curious as to whether developing automated testing and deployment stuff would count as doing testing and deploying,

Yeah, I kept finding myself trying to use 'hjkl' like arrow keys, then when I went into insert mode I would have to move my hand back (and lose my train of thought). Basically, 'jkl;' feels more intuitive to me. Hardcore vim users will pr

If your middle and ring fingers are not strong enough to push the buttons, you need a better keyboard. In all seriousness, though, I personally don't like having to reach with my index finger to move left. I tend to think of 'jkl;' as bein

'jkl;' for the win! 'hjkl' always seemed awkward and never made sense to me. 'hjkl' is supposed to be convenient so that you never need to move your right hand to navigate the file, but you don't type with your fingers on 'hjkl', you type
