I'm guessing he had in mind this (very controversial) feature that was proposed for Ruby 2.0 and then scaled back: http://www.rubyinside.com/ruby-refinements-an-overview-of-a-... .

I also don't know the psych lingo, but I thought right away of the anthropological distinction between cultures of shame[1] (external disapproval from other people) and guilt[2] (internal disapproval from self). On that score, either could

This reminded me of a favorite story of mine about Nabokov and Thomas Pynchon: Pynchon was a student of Nabokov's when he was at Cornell. Years later when Pynchon himself became famous, Nabokov told interviewers that he had no memory of Pyn

> Usually Hacker News doesn't let you post the same link more than once. I believe that's wrong. From what I've seen, I think that that time is also a factor. After some amount of time, you can repost things with exactly the same link

Unlike fogus, I am trying to glorify writing by hand in some contexts at least. (The proviso is important: I don't think that writing by hand is always better.) I believe that writing by hand helps me to think better and write better, p

Whoops. I tend to rely on the site itself to block (recent) dupes. I guess the different title threw it, though I would have expected the identical URL to get caught.

The complaints I recall about Ruby keyword arguments were on Twitter: https://twitter.com/brixen/status/281180931950264320 https://twitter.com/garybernhardt/status/281181122736582656 . Not sure if that's what you're thinking of. @ch0wn:

I don't work with MySQL or Rails, but I read this all the way through, mostly because the story was well told. Strikes me as a perfect example of a culture that works hard and enjoys the hell out of it too.

Thanks for mentioning Emacs: You made me realize why this hadn't come up in the course notes or material for the Coursera class I'm doing[1]: they explicitly recomment using SML inside Emacs. Unfortunately, I'm a relatively long-time Vim
