Why this this story on the front-page of HN? This provides very little quality content and discussion. This just seems to be propaganda. Yes, Curebit was in the wrong, admit it, move on. I'm sure there are more interesting things in the wor

I'm curious, how did Begemann start his company in 2008? There is a note in there about him raising 5M in 2009 but that was after he had a 25-person company?

I don't think that quote is meant to be taken literally. It's more a commentary on how you can accomplish most things you can put your mind to; the only limits you place are those you impose on yourself. And I don't know, but it might be po

A great math book is Gilbert Strang's "Introduction to Applied Mathematics". Actually anything by Gilbert Strang is worth it. I would also recommend: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0521792851/ref=ox_sc_act_ti... You could also try out t

I would recomend some social "stretching" techniques. Tim Ferris talks about them in his book 4-hr work week: 1. Make eye-contact. Make a conscious effort to do this. Pick one eye and stick to it. Make eye-contact on passer-bys on the stree

Yep. I quit my job to start my own venture. It was scary but it was long overdue. For a while I had been doing the "working on the side project after work" but then I realized that if I do want to do this, there is no half-assing it. It's t

I like how most languages now a days are trending back towards LISP-like functional languages by supporting constructs like closures, lambda expressions, etc. It's all about modularity and making the programmer most productive, which LISP s

Safari's integration of bookmarks and reading lists over iCloud is just such a useful feature to have out of the box. I switched back to Safari just for that. Keeping all my devices in sync is a huge gain over slightly faster rendering time

Firefox has become absolute bloatware. Opera is the only browser that is doing any kind of new innovation.

He reveals quite a bit of his character and interests in his seminal Art of Computing series. It's a great read for both it's content and it's prose.

Ignorance definitely can be bliss. I think there needs to be healthy disregard for the impossible; it's what makes you do things that others normally would not dare to do or even think about. Most innovations come from either disregarding w

Have you tried releasing it for production use? I would love to hear how it is working out for you. Are there any frameworks?

by langsamer 15y ago
I'm not sure I agree. Yes to a certain degree, I think that programmers are self-taught, but I think like most things in life, most of the learning comes from your peer group. Working on a project in a small team with other motivated develo

Awesome idea. What did you use for the physics engine?

I think it is a bit silly to try to re-create OO with type classes or vice-versa. They are just two different modes of thinking and represent two different ways of architecting your program. Personally, I do find OOP a hoax, which leads to

I think GO is still experimental in app engine and doesn't support some services like OAuth, Google Cloud Storage, and XMPP. Also, "experimental" scares me for production use.

I wonder if GO can be used as a new front-end language, i.e., replacing javascript. The fast compile times certainly would make it feasible to compile the code at runtime in the browser and then execute in a sandboxed environment.

It's not only syntax, I think Erlang although a very good language, puts you in a different mode of thinking. This might be a good thing, but it also makes it harder to find developers to work on your project as they are less abundant.

I've been experimenting with GO and I really like it, especially since I come from a C/C++ background. Does anyone know of any good GO packages? I wanted to use the experimental support for GO in google app engine but it seems fairly limite

I think a much better indicator of how valuable a person will be in your company is not if he can solve puzzles on the fly but how munch time he puts into coding. If a person is coding in his free time and keeping up with technology and exp

Nice! How long did it take you guys to develop the released version? Also, the name reminds me of the Belgian Bier "Tripel" ;-)
