Node.js, Java, Rails

Are you excited to delve into the internals of frameworks and VMs? Come help us work on an amazing beloved product! We especially need a Java Engineer who knows the nitty-gritty of class loading and byte-code rewriting, and a Node.js Engineer with an expert level knowledge of the Node.js implementation.

I think this is the result of an A/B testing article which showed higher follow rates for "You should follow me" than "If you feel like following me" and other less imperative wordings.

I'm the dishwasher...bitch!

The solution to the wikileaks hype parade: Someone needs to start leaking stuff from wikileaks.

  If I could live again my life,
  In the next one – I’d try to make more mistakes,
  I wouldn’t try to be so perfect, I’d be more relaxed,
  I’d be sillier than I’ve been,
  In fact, I’d take things much less seriously.
  I’d be less hygenic.
  I’d run more risks,
  take more trips,
  watch more sunsets.
  I’d climb more mountains, swim more rivers,
  I’d go to many more places where I’ve never been,
  I’d eat more ice cream and fewer peas,
  I’d have more real problems and fewer imaginary ones.

  I was one of those people who lived
  prudently and fully every minute of his life;
  of course I had moments of joy.
  But if I could go back I’d try
  to have only good moments.

  Because if you don’t know, thats what life is made of,
  only moments; don’t lose the now.

  I was the type who never went anywhere
  without a thermometer,
  a hot-water bottle,
  an umbrella and a parachute,
  If I could live again, I’d travel lighter.

  If I could live again, I’d go barefoot
  from the beginning of spring
  and stay barefoot until the end of autumn.

  I’d ride in more carts,
  I’d watch more sunrises,
  and play with more children,
  If I had another life ahead of me.

  But now I am 85…
  and I know that I am dying.

Scales are nice. Too bad most people must learn twelve per mode. I encourage all to renounce the normal piano's inefficiencies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janko_keyboard

A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules. Which is why they have to steal it.

I want:

  Many more examples contrasted with the equivalent imperative code.

  Examples with elaborate data structures.

  Implementation overview (current & objectives).

  Benchmarks on a multicore.

Well put.

Does the world not already provide enough difficult challenges? I encourage others to test themselves by endeavoring to make the world a better place.

Yes, I know that sounds condescending, but I cannot stand the author's self-absorbtion: "By making life harder for myself, I prove how macho I am!"

Good question. People love rankings. What is the most prestigious online degree ?

See you there!

Startup Idea!

An extremely small proportion of file-sharers get stuck with massive fines. Illegal file-sharing insurance?

I hate not responding to comments which give me reason to hate the fact that english does not use s-expressions.

Traveling Salesman Problem Documentary?

At each stop, interview researchers about their P,NP problems. =D

Someone should make a ramen-profitable cookbook. I'd buy it.

True. This sentence discredits the entire article. Men never buy lottery tickets.

Who is going to help me with the Jellyfish secrets eBook?

What do ycombinator startups incorporate as?

Thanks for the Hanover shoutout! Life is great here!
