Optimistically, 100% of us are eventually replaceable by someone (or something) as capable (or more capable) and cheaper. It leads to more unemployment, but the step from unemployment to poverty is wrong. As efficiency rises, poverty should

Nngh. They're laptops. If we need a new name for something, it's those computers that have >= 17" monitors that are currently called laptops. Hey, I know. Why not use these nifty grammatical tools called "adjectives"?

I saw Zed Shaw in QCon 2007 before I had learned that he was an internet rockstar. Frankly speaking, he seemed like one of the least douchebaggy speakers of the whole conference. Sadly, he wasn't invited (or didn't wanna come) to QCon 2008.

DOS/Windows for a long time was a gaming platform. By which I mean that the only reason to have it installed around was because some very good games worked only on it. Suddendly, I noticed that I'm keeping an OSX box around the house for th

"Also, do you still plan on working on a Ruby version of OpenPoker? I am quite interested in how you would go about designing such software with Ruby, since there isn't really an OTP-equivalent." But... why?

That may be right, but if you build expecting the scalability problem AND you get masses of users, you can swim in the money instead of using it to solve the problem. McScrooge approves this message.

Sometimes I have to spend a lot of time in RHEL or Solaris hunting down packages of software that I would find and install in Arch in a minute. I haven't had worse problems with Arch than with 'real production server operating systems' like

Haskell instead of anything else. And then some Factor. Mandarin is a nice touch. I'll try that. Indians, however, speak English pretty well -- even if their accent might take some getting used to.

Why does it seem that this 'wannabee' is more advanced than the 'real thing'?

It will soon, though. See http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/Releases and "Parallel garbage collection". A release candidate of ghc 6.10 should be out in a few weeks. None of this would help Joel, I suppose, since he decided

It seems the Prevayler or HAppS style of data storage & retrieval is what you and I want (and perhaps in their hearts, every other non-db-specialist as well) Basically, you just define data structures in your language like you would any
