IA Ventures is looking for an unpaid VC intern in NYC. I'm not affiliated with them, but I thought it was a cool opportunity. https://spreadsheets1.google.com/viewform?formkey=dHVKUzBYYk...

This looks like a really cool project/language. How do I build it? Does it build on OS X? -- I'd love to "watch" the project on github, but alas it's stranded on the island of google code. Check out this [1] basho blog entry on why they c

I'm most impressed with how progressively "upmarket" they become. You could charge multiples more for the minimal version in a different context. As muji [1] is to a department store, the appropriate store for these would be to a supermark

Thanks, Evan! I actually disagree about production use, with similar reasoning to Travis Swicegood's answer about coffeescript in production [1]. Since sibilant is just a source-to-source compiler, it's as production-ready as Node.js or c

Pivotal labs does this by offering everyone free catered breakfast at the start of the day. As I understand it, the motivation was to synchronize everyone's lunch hunger so half of a pair-programming team wasn't hungry earlier because they

Yeah, many of my friends liked union jack's a lot. I avoid strip clubs, so I can't personally recommend.

Oh: ride public transit. Notice that it runs on time, is fairly easy to understand, and is clean. There's a sky tram, a light rail, a streetcar, and an extensive bus system. Everything is free downtown in the fareless square.

Lived in Portland for 7 years (went to school in SE, Reed College). Hence, nostalgia dump: When I left for the bay area a few years ago, NE Alberta and North Portland were picking up inertia. If you're into coffee, try Albina Press. The l

There's a lot of causal ambiguity in this article, particularly due to the fact that no small percent of millionaires likely come into wealth by way of inheritance or marriage. For example, the author cites the presence of 350k millionaire

I've been programming since middle school and I'm now almost 30 and I google all the time. There's too much to remember, and I wouldn't want to burden my memory with too many specifics. I try to focus on remembering generic patterns, since

What are you using for server side dom manipulation? jsdom? apricot? node-xml? libxmljs? I spent a lot of the weekend working on a webcrawler, but couldn't find a xml parser that didn't choke on the internet-at-large. Any chance you'd cons

Haven't built in much monitoring yet, but watching the resque web interface, most of the delay is in actually finding the new page - from there to it showing up on your screen is no more than a second or two. For subscribed users, we do em

Sure. This probably will turn into a blog entry, but here's the gist: 4 medium sized linodes, divided as follows: 1 app: unicorn (rails), nginx 1 db: redis, solr, mysql 2 worker: resque workers (both ruby/rails node.js) &#
