Can you explain what you see as the problem and why the solution to that problem is not to tax income?

We built a multitail functionality back in the day, but we built it on top of a general purpose shell script to do things across multiple machines that we called multido: https://github.com/mochi/miscscripts/blob/master/cmultido

I attended this talk and it was very well done. Most intro to $LANGUAGE talks try to share a few very simple examples of the language. Something most people could read about and absorb on their own in 10-15 minutes. Bob's slides and presentation went for breadth, acknowledging that this was not a tutorial but a way to present listeners with a great sense of what the language does, how it contrasts with Erlang, and [what I found the most useful] a good explanation of how to approach some of the more difficult to explain concepts. Now when I sit down to actually learn Haskell, I have a useful mental model on a bunch of the not so obvious concepts.

I think video of the talk that goes with these slides will eventually be uploaded at: http://www.youtube.com/user/ErlangSolutions

Some of the presentations from just a couple days ago are already up, so I hope to see the rest soon.

sarcasm on my part ;)

He meant to say billions of ripple coins, surely.

"The company filed a document associated with a Series D round worth $150 million in Delaware this week"

I wonder what that $150M will be worth in Chicago next week.

I think many hn readers would relate to the SAT example via the hiring process. You can get amazing engineers, even if you can't pay them as much as Google, by offering them a chance to work on more interesting projects or in program languages they find more interesting.

They left out all the law firm summer clerks. Also a number of interns at these companies are graduate students.

I think this problem is something the folks at https://pokitdok.com/ are trying to solve

yeah, but just think of how much they save on transaction costs when they buy something online [without the ability to chargeback]!

WARNING: TOM FRIEDMAN.

Why is that not on the link?

Mochi Media uses hot code loading in production.

I've clicked on the one they used to have at theeconomist.com

probably to reduce click delay, which may not be a useful thing given that people are mostly reading on medium, not clicking.

I can only assume this would hurt them since the Panda update by Google a while back.

But more importantly:

Every instance of one-on-one communication I've seen by Rap Genius (this and the aphyr emails) include over-the-top frat boy style phrases. Are they being sarcastic, is it an affectation, or do they really speak like a parody of every "bro" ever?

.

I'm curious, is a bike capable of stopping on an incline at while going at 40 mph in the same amount of time as a motor vehicle?

I can't speak for the author of the parent post, but my understanding from his comment is:

He's suggesting the development of software to help people track their mental health, in much the same way people currently track other aspects of their day to day life, such as with a fitbit or mapmyrun. If people could track their mood, medications their taking, when and how frequently they take them, etc, that information would be valuable at both an individual and aggregate level.

Wasn't mapreduce developed at google around 2003? From what year are you comparing Acxiom's system?

Isn't the whole node.js ecosystem subject to this criticism?

Cool project,

one nit in the description: "The name قلب is pronounced 'alb "

in standard arabic, it is actually "qalb", some dialects happen to drop the q sound

Nice, it finally has multi account support, which was the big reason I was still using the mobile web version.

When will wolfram alpha do this for me?

A twitter search on JustFab also shows they have hired some spammers to pump their site. Lots of tweets like this: "Dеаr guуs, whеn will уоu lеаrn? Girls сan nеvеr hаve tоo manу shоes! Sincеrеly, Sign uр аt JustFab & stаrt buуin"

Actually, you are wrong. Libyans overwhelmingly supported the revolution. My family, friends and family friends are from Libya I just spent a month there this past summer.

These actions have been pretty clearly condemned by Libyans and don't represent the whole country. But nice try flogging your conspiracy theory.

actually, both erics

Nope. But I do believe my family and friends living in Libya. I also believe family friends there.

Yeah, RT alone is not a reputable source. They thrive on unfounded conspiracy theories and often times report outright falsehoods. During the Libyan revolution, they would claim whole cities were under Gaddafi control when they was clear video and multiple members of international media proving otherwise.

http://bambuser.com/ was doing effectively the same thing during the Egyptian protests.

What distinguishes it from a moleskine?
