lfnikon WikiLeaks Archive — Cables Uncloak U.S. Diplomacy

Assange has claimed he is about to release information that targets the Russian government and Russian businessmen (reported 10/26). The thing is, even if he does release it, most Russian citizens won't hear about it or won't care. Anything even remotely incriminating published about Russian businessmen and I can tell you he will probably want to find a good hiding place.

lfnikon Ask HN: Best Developer Linux Laptop?

I have a System76 laptop and I really like it. The built in speakers are terrible but I usually use headphones so who cares. The touch pad buttons are a little stubborn too.

lfnikon Ask HN: Should I Learn Ruby?

My opinion is that it is more important to learn programming paradigms. That way you are able to decide what language you believe is the best and learn it easily.

For example, I've never programmed in Clojure but I can read quite a bit of it because I understand functional programming. It wouldn't take me very long to get the hang of it if I chose to learn it.
