11001001011010··on Show HN: Compile Ruby to C
I have exact the same thing with Coffeescript. First left behind because apparently most Javascript dev's think ESx is now better than Coffee. And after that they joined the strict typing frenzy.. I hope the next front-end/node language will be a little more joyful.
11001001011010··on A Few Rules for Predicting the Future (2000)
Rule number one: Expect people making the same mistakes as they did in any past. Why? Because men are stupid, ignorant, shortsighted, greedy, arrogant, etc.. etc.. In all our vanity we love to think and dream about ourselves of being capable to change our human nature and the course of humanity, but in reality only very few can because it is unimaginable hard. Almost all religions point to this.

> a possibly doomed or dangerous idea because of perceived potential high rewards.

IMAO the right term. If you think Linux development is cool and awesome then doing that on a Windows machine is about the worst choice I can think of. The operating system that invades your privacy so aggressively that you become the product after you have bought a license for a couple of hundreds of dollars.. With all the awesome free Linux distro's available it keeps stunning me that people are willing to pay for an OS that is being made to invade and milk your life..

Indeed memory, the point where computers totally outsmart us all. That's why traditional school where you get to the next grade by showing off your memory is totally deprecated.

It might be me, but these kind of contests and our excitement about it only shows our stupidity even more. Our specialty is very fortunately not memory, it should never be. We are incredibly special creatures with much more interesting capabilities.
