"I don't have any good ideas" Sounds like a good reason to me.

Yeah, it's a joke that Rust (which I think will be a great language, but all of the syntax hasn't even been decided yet) is being considered, when Java and friends are not. Really, this article is about "I want to rewrite my

The JVM is a crazy moving target? Can you give an example of that please?

It doesn't matter, they're all fine. You aren't going to succeed or fail based on the framework choice. Just use whatever you know. The only non agnostic advice is for you to use to use Postgres. Don't use something like

http://mojoupgrade.com/ does what you describe. They don't allow users to enter their own, but they have a pretty comprehensive list.

I think you will have a very hard time getting people to use this by making them sign up. You should use a captcha instead. I also don't think most people would find unsolicited, anonymous sex tips that useful, but Cosmo sells, so ther

I love picking on PHP as much as anyone else, but you can write just as terrible code in Python as any other dynamically typed language. Those Django and Rails projects can grow into monstrosities as well.

Saying Clojure is a counter example kinda ignores the big reason companies don't want to use Lisp/Haskell/etc. When you're on the JVM, you get to use that gigantic collection of Java libraries and Java community for almo

In that case, I'll be on the look out when it's released!

Ignoring any open vs. closed source arguments, this kind of thing would work much better as library than some third party service. There's no way I'd make an application that depended on a third party service over the internet for

Also, having the modal boxes jump around is kind of annoying.

And at the same time, there's discussions about the lack of new blood working on Linux ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6298493 ). I'm not saying this is the only reason why, but it certainly doesn't help

I have, and it works ok when there is a ton of concurrent users. But on the other hand, I don't think the UX of telescope is any better than reddit's and in some ways worse (example: clicking on a post with a large amount of comme

What duplication? Why do you need to use js to render text? I'm not saying that a user without js should expect all, or any of the bells and whistles. But to use client side js rendering to show a user a paragraph or two (like blogger)

Is this something people even want in content driven sites though? Imagine reddit in real time, it would be a mess and impossible to keep track of what you last read.

There's no reasons sites like tumblr shouldn't work without javascript. Period. And while there are some things on the web that are genuine applications (trello, dashboards, etc.), the vast majority of things are content driven, w

You can't just assume that a valid database connection will remain valid the entire time you're using it. The network or server is free to go down at any time. In practice, this rarely happens, it's an exceptional condition.

Sorry, I was being rhetorical, I guess it wasn't obvious. My point to the parent was that no need to bet your entire life savings on one company, you can split it among hundreds and take advantage of your edge.

Say there is a game at a casino, that has a 1/100 chance of winning, and if you win, you get a payout of 100.01(original bet). You have $100. How would you play without it being extremely dangerous?

Not if you know where the gold is buried and no one else does (which is what their purpose is). In your analogy, the shovels would be something like Meteor, or one of those "learn to rails in 24 hours!" startups.

If you could provide information useful enough to provide a competitive advantage in investing, why provide it at all? Just invest in the companies yourself and put the millions in your own pocket. To me, what it looks like (not saying it&#

Squeryl doesn't allow you to drop down to raw SQL, so I'd suggest avoiding it.
