Interesting, I developed a very large kiosk platform in Lua and the experience was fantastic. I found the stack based C integration to be far preferable to any other FFI I've ever used. Also the whole complaint that Lua is somehow paradigm-

You'd be surprised. I bought some ads on their network and despite promised metrics, I've had nothing from them other than vague quotes. Luckily I didn't drop too much cash.

I never said there weren't outliers, but I have found them to be quite rare since using this strategy. If I do have to ban someone like that I ban them by email address, since I require email confirmation to sign up. It slows them down at l

I run a small forum that's been around for nearly 10 years now and I've found that over the years when we do get someone that's absolutely insane or trollish the best thing to do isn't to outright ban them, but to give them an area away fro

I built my very first plain HTML website when I was 25, I spent the next year learning software on my own while bartending. In the intervening 9 years I worked at both corporate and boutique software companies, I started a software shop in

Awesome, I'm really excited to see what you guys come up with. Also, I'd definitely be interested in trading some guest blog posts at some point. On the off chance that you're NYC based as well we should totally grab drinks and talk shop so

Interesting, you guys could be a competitor for us, but I can't quite tell yet. In lust implies a strong sex focus but the phrasing on the site indicates dating. I'm curious to see where you guys end up going with this. http://www.heyfoxy.

From what I can tell, the article you linked says that PoF is making $15mm in revenue. If OkC were making 15mm in revenues why in the world would they sell for $50mm? That just doesn't add up. Their overhead outside of bandwidth costs wasn'

The problem with free dating sites is that they have to be fucking enormous to make any money. OkC is an amazing product with a huge user base and guess what? They had a tiny office and weren't making much money, then they were bought by (s

Mate, I think you're making too many generalizations based on things that feel true, you know, 'cause that's what everybody says. Statements like "social security is a time bomb" belay a misunderstanding of what you're talking about. SS is

The outer boroughs are different, not better or worse (except Staten Island, that's worse). I love Brooklyn and Queens, but I am very happy living in Manhattan. It doesn't have to be a pissing contest, NYC is a big place with a whole fucklo

It's a pretty spot on comparison. I moved here from Sydney about 3 years ago and feel basically the same. Though I don't have the same aversion to tipping that he has, probably because I (having grown up in the US before immigrating to Oz)

That's the one. I would have linked it in my first post but I was writing on my phone. There are a lot of things on there that clarified or outright changed my view of weight training. I've been doing this program for the last six months an

You're totally right, I just skimmed the comment before I posted, my bad.

I've been working out off and on since I was in high school and I figured I would try something different this time around. I started with the HST program and have been absolutely floored by the results. It sounds lime the 5x5 program he me

CMD-` switches between application windows. That might help a bit, I use it constantly; so constantly in fact, that I remapped buffer switching in emacs to that command.

I don't know enough about the subject but it seems like cleverly arranged mirror arrays might alleviate a lot of the lighting issues.

Yeah, that's not something you just accidentally end up looking like. I'm not into being that big at all but there would be fair warning well before hand ;)

The muscle building seems similar, though even more extreme than HST training: http://www.hypertrophy-specific.com/hst_index.html I switched to HST after a long time of doing typical weight training routines and now do 1-2 sets per body p

The US healthcare system never fails to shock and horrify me. I am so thankful for my dual citizenship every time I hear a story like this. Pathetic and sad.

This was really fun to watch. I read On Intelligence, by Jeff Hawkins several years ago and wondered when or if Numenta was ever going to get off the ground. It looks like they're getting close to their goal. Yeah, there were no real demons

Yup, it was a pint. I have a wicked scar over my left eye as a memento. I had to get stitches but I'm an Aussie citizen so I didn't have to pay for the ER. That said, try hailing a cab at 9:00am in Sydney with a busted hand (I caught up wit

This is about the best advice out there. I got glassed in a barfight in Sydney once and the cat who did it knew what he was doing—snuck up behind me, shouted, glassed, kicked me a few times, and ran out the door. Fucking English backpackers

Seriously? I put up with this shit from 30-somethings all the time, the "Oh, Manhattan is boring, oh the City isn't what it used to be, blah, blah, blah. . . " You're 23. In 2001 you were 14, you have no fucking idea what the scene was like

Strange, I haven't done a lot with Python but I've built a pretty big system in Lua and its FFI is incredibly nice, the nicest I've ever used, in fact.

Yeah, but if you live in a real city with good public transport and a thriving commercial/residential core you can get by without a car and all of the associated costs. I live in Manhattan and though it is more expensive than elsewhere the

Honestly, I see this attitude manifest in a really nasty way in MongoMapper, which is an otherwise great library. If I would have realized that the documentation would still be non existant (like, completely non existent) after 10 months or

You should probably add the row Diploma to the Degree row since in Australia it is very common to get a trade certification rather than attend a typical 4 year school, where most Americans would get a Bachelor's degree for something like co
