Actually, my comments were towards what Steve said, not what you said. Sorry that that wasn't clear. Steve says biotech is data mining, and it's not. It's a physics problem. A lot of very, very hard physics problems. On systems that are har

They get paid. Dan talks about it occasionally, around talking about FreshBooks, I think. No idea how much, but I think it was David Smith of Developing Perspective that said a week of DF sponsorship was $7K and 5by5 $5K? Sure at least the

Just more gossip, but the first thing that comes to mind whenever I think of @Mike_FTW is "Fuck You, Pay Me". Which in principle isn't bad, but ...

I wonder how big a deal this will be. Relying on GC feels like it goes hand in hand with dynamic languages. I'm used to not having to worry about cycles. Of course, I guess I'm use to not having to worry too much about memory, either ... We
