Great...email sent. Thanks!

Rather than advice, I have questions....namely, is there a list of your published apps somewhere? I'd like to understand the types of simple applications you're developing. Thanks!

Why, exactly? Why would I want Powershell on Linux? If it's cross-platform scripting ability you're after, then why not focus efforts on developing OS-layer abstractions that various scripting languages which are already cross-platform (p

As a long time user of both PostgreSQL and MySQL, I can't begin to compliment PostgreSQL enough. It runs just about everything in our company, from ticketing systems to an ERP system with over 1000 users...and it does so without flinching o

The thing that always gets me when trying to use either vim and emacs for IDE-like programming (and don't get me wrong...I have used vim for regular editing for years), is that someone says, "yeah, (vim|emacs) destroys all other editors and

Don't you mean "simpler to grasp than Squeak"? I doubt Seaside and GNU Smalltalk have much in common...one being a framework and the other a smalltalk environment. What I'd be more curious about is whether GNU Smalltalk can run Seaside...

Great...looks slick and runs fast...but with comments like this ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/12/07/schmidt_on_privacy/ ), how can I trust it?

How is this a loss for an open web exactly?

Yes, very good point and a detail I missed. That's extremely unfortunate...the first spec of the language will lag far behind the version everyone should be using, and based on a transitional version that was controversial at best.

This to me is great news...a first step towards a "standard" ruby. With the various implementations running around out there, having a documented specification to refer to (and the ruby equivalent of the Java TCK, which I believe rubyspec i

Decent article...but bad title. Should've been something like "DSLs in Ruby and Lisp...why Macros matter". Regardless, I'd like to see this thread continued.

This is a very interesting project...I'm surprised it hasn't generated more discussion on HN. I can only hope you succeed with your goals...the fact that you're 100% compatible with hg is really impressive. I hope Git is up next. I will def

You're advocating taking innocent lives as a way to live life to its fullest? Kill others because you just couldn't take the pressure anymore? The anger your post evoked in me has forced me to rewrite this sentence five times...this is the

So would it be possible to plug in another garbage collection scheme...just for iPhone apps?

How far off is support for native iPhone apps written in Ruby? Is this on the roadmap?

I appreciate the retraction. Your article, whether you intended it to or not, sounds as if you're just a little too over-to-top in love with Microsoft's technologies. That, combined with the misinformation you've now made an effort to corre

I'll repost my comment here: "With PHP, never mind the lack of step-through debugging, if you want to do any kind of debugging you have to litter your code with tons of print statements to have any shot of catching the bug. Ugly." Um....WRO

I used to love UltraEdit back in 2000 before I completely switched over to Linux. It handled the various languages I needed (Java, Perl, PHP, Tcl) very well. After switching to Linux, I searched high and low for something that approached

No, but after upgrading via apt-get my system was unbootable. After pointing it to the proper drive in grub, it would attempt to boot but mysteriously hang. No one in #ubuntu or #ubuntu+1 could figure it out. I ended up having to boot from

But don't trust the upgrade if you use advanced features (as I found out the hard way) like Software Raid, LVM, and cryptfs. IT WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM.

How long has it been since you looked at Ubuntu's fonts? I use both OS X and Ubuntu, and Ubuntu is at least equal to OS X these days IMO.

I used to live like you, but with the onset of virtualization dramatically reduced my power consumption and green footprint with Xen and VMWare.
