This exists and is what Hound is built on. Rubocop runs lint checks against your Ruby code: https://github.com/bbatsov/rubocop/ . The Emacs integration is great; it highlights failures in place. Hound looks interesting, but having Emacs/Vim integration gives you a tighter feedback loop, so you don't have to wait until Pull Request time to discover these issues.
Check out the pomo gem. It works in a very similar way plus it adds a 25-minute timer for pomodoros. If you add your .pomo file to git would do the same integration.
I also recommend checking out Audiogalaxy. It works surprisingly well on 3G and is a great way to access your entire music/podcast collection from your phone. I use it all the time.
Is the email corpus available? One valuable thing that came out of Enron was real-world email data.
The Housing First initiative in the US has seen some success: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_First

To rebut your Steve Yegge post with another Steve Yegge post (his opinion, at least in 2008, was closer to Jeff's than yours): http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/09/programmings-dirties...
The Github founders were working on something like this (famspam) before they founded github.
I'd like to see GitHub integration.

Telvue (http://www.telvue.com/). We make broadcast video servers. We're looking for Ruby on Rails developers with Linux experience.
It's funny, the same thing happened to anywhere.fm, of which lala is basically an updated version. They made a fun way to listen to all of your own music online, they got bought out, and they disappeared. Maybe YC should fund another anywhere.fm?
He's still publishing, at least as of February 2010: http://github.com/raganwald/homoiconic/tree
This looks unofficial, but Github has a version that has updates over the past few years:
Check out nailgun if you're interested in using the JVM as a command-line tool without a cold-start.
List of all clojars:
Right, that's exactly what Ruby EE was written to solve. Would've been nice for that to land in Ruby 1.9, but at least REE exists.

PG's other microblog:
They mention run code run (http://runcoderun.com/) which is hosted CI.
"Rogers [Nas's ex-wife] will receive $30,471 in spousal support per month; the couple's son will receive $9,027, according to the court records."

Use clojure.test for TDD. There's a bit of documentation here:
Clojure does a good job of introducing new idioms specifically for Java support.
From their docs:
(doto (new java.util.HashMap) (.put "a" 1) (.put "b" 2))
(.. System (getProperties) (get "os.name"))There's no mention of equity for people applying as "Hackers". That position is a whole lot less meaningful (financially and otherwise) if you're not a stakeholder.
That comment says: "memcachedb is not distributed, meaning that you can only scale vertically (i.e. by buying bigger machines)." Is that true? The docs on memcachedb seem to imply the opposite.
Add location information to users. I'm more likely to work on a small project with someone local. Also, local user groups are doing this already, if you add location info they could use your software.
There was a pretty good discussion on this here on YC:
There's lots of great restaraunts; more here than in Boston/Cambridge/Somerville. Most of the good restaurants are BYOB, which I've never seen in another city this size. There's a lot good beer here, everyone I talk to is an expert on brewing. Art Museum, Franklin Institute, three arthouse movie theaters downtown. Rents are pretty cheap. I personally like being able to drive over to Jersey sometimes to get away from the crowds, but I'm a little weird.
I don't know where you went when you were here, but if you come back, you should check out Northern Liberties. It's a great little neighborhood.
Can someone provide a link to the reddit article he mentions at the end? I'd like to know what old, unfinished idea might still be useful.
Thanks for that link. His site is very interesting, the functional programming patterns especially:
