Most of my comment comes from the fact that Eich originally wanted to build a homoiconic lisp for netscape and built many of the features into javascript instead. Still no a lisp ,but it was designed to be similar. http://www.2ality.com/20

It's pretty damn close. First class functions give javascript great power. Combined with something like sweet.js and underscore, and javascript becomes a language with the functional library of a lisp along with macros. After that, javascri

Interesting thought. Try invoking the Blub paradox here[0]. Who knows who the best hackers are? In some sense, only the best hackers do. On the scale of hacking ability, you can only look down and truly understand what is beneath you. When

With the amount of information provided as to what you want to do with the languages, the most I can do is suggest flip a coin.

Yep! It looks like if you hooked this up to the router with serialization function, you could embed state directly into the url without too much effort.

What happens when you want to build something besides a CRUD app? Where do the tools that makers use come from? Why can't you decide which way is the "winner" and find the "one way to rule them all" for what you have in mind? Does something

Thank you for the suggestions. I wonder how possible it is to find a position at either firms if you aren't explicitly in the finance industry. I have no idea how to apply there and would be interested in talking to somebody about what goe

This was a great a comment. I normally rail against Wall Street precisely because I've been around some of the people who go into the business and seen some shitty attitudes about life, but the call out to a higher calling of doing humanity

A general tip for graphs with small points: if you use a clipped voronoi diagram to trigger mouse interactions, then the graph becomes much easier to navigate. Basically, the graph gets split up into regions that make efficient but intuitiv

Yep. That's what I did originally. I was on chrome fedora without it working, but now on chrome mac it works. This time though I did change the name instead of leaving it blank.

Fun observation: Ramit is fond of using the word "gamut" to describe his experience. In both this post and the first one, he uses the word at roughly the same point in the meeting to describe roughly the same idea: going from $x/(unit of w

One observation I've made is that if I eat any food at an event, I am more likely to stick around and not bounce out if I think the speaker/topic/people are boring. By eating the food that organizers have provided, psychologically I am comm

Some comments: Good turn around time. Try putting black edges around your title text. Right now, they are just blending in with the background. The political background is a neat idea. Designing for it dynamically will be hard though. Set u

For most of the visualizations I've found on Hacker News, the data is usually available directly to the client, either through an API or a static file (.csv,.json,etc.). StatWing is already using d3 to display their work, so it is possible

Which is sort of an odd situation. I took a CS intro class at Texas A&M there and he came in at the end of the semester to talk more about C++11x. So he ended up going off about support for threading and things that were way over most p
