horacegrant··on Announcing DJJob, a PHP port of delayed_job
And the post here sounds very NIH for not even mentioning Gearman in its survey of options.

Sometimes things need to be destroyed.

Eh, who cares? So he had a big evangelical moment and saw Jesus, great, wonderful. This book continues to contain information that can be useful to people, and this is the same "book-burning" way of thinking that is so prevalent in conservative religious communities. While the document is injected with immature content throughout in terms of the motivations for the activities upon which it instructs, it contains practical knowledge that can be used for good or evil.

This knowledge cannot and should not be erased because an individual, even the original author, has concluded that violence is under no circumstance an acceptable way to prosecute change.

horacegrant··on HN, Remember you said go out and talk to people? I did: InsidersTalk.com
Insider stalk? That sounds no fun.
horacegrant··on Poll: Sequel or S-Q-L?
That's still not a good answer. My use of "sequel" or "S.Q.L" depends on many factors. For a non-technical crowd, or one that I otherwise know is unfamiliar with the topic, it's always S.Q.L. Similarly, If I'm throwing around many terms in a technical discussion, I will often use S.Q.L., that being the clearer form. I say "sequel" in the context of "let's take a look at this sequel here..."
horacegrant··on Why is a bag of weed always $10 (man)?
Yea, I was surprised to see your first comment anywhere but at the top. $10 will buy a g of dirt. $20 beasters/kb. $25+ for true dank (east coast).

horacegrant··on Ask HN: What stops you from starting today?
I believe he's implying that his priorities are close at hand.
horacegrant··on Ask HN: What stops you from starting today?
Every time I've entertained the idea of joining a startup, it's always an "all we need is a developer" situation, or its cousin, the "we had a great developer (who invariably stunk) who'll get you up to speed."

So it seems I'd have to go it alone, and my ideas are too big for my time. If I had some simpler ideas I'd definitely see if they held water, however. I definitely have the application, server, and DB skills to make it happen.

horacegrant··on Why Free Plans Don’t Work
Just seems a bit arbitrary to me.
