I wonder what the Erlang equivalent would look like (passing around data that are funs)?

Nice to see some activity in this space. gives me a little encouragement for my lil up-start. Maybe we could trade notes? http://ikura.co

I've heard erlang equated to a tank before. Mean and ugly. (Though I don't find her ugly any longer)

I found it interesting. Some overlap and some other ideas on the challenges are here, too: http://joearms.github.io/2014/02/07/why-programming-is-diffi...

email. I use gnu's nmh in combination with some tickle folder tricks (43 folders) which would be neat to implement in an app. Alas, no time.

A great (related) read: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FC1H8C

Not a terrible place to start to get a nickle-tour of J.S. Bach, and from Bach's biggest fanatic, Glenn Gould: http://fixyt.com/watch?v=crQ8YEUkUjg

Wow. I went my entire life thinking with complete error that J.S. Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier was a musical dossier celebrating modern tuning (of keyboards). I was 100% wrong. Thank-you for sharing that essay!

`Also glad NYC is not the valley. But there is reason for it. It's not random. I think SV was first to market. This is more or less in keeping with my sentiments about it: http://www.evanmiller.org/marketing-startup-hubs.html

Adding this into my stack. `Excited!

I also follow this convention. One sentence, then new line. It looks a little janky, but when you run it through pandoc or whatever, it yields the way you would want.

Yes, yes, yes. It really is a philosophy. Great summary on his incredible (and quite readable) thesis.

As a developer new to Erlang, this is my life now. Google has been my Joe Armstrong book and the manual pages as howtos and fixes are scarce on the internet relative to, say, Ruby. If I had deadlines, I would be toast. But it feels nice to work a bit harder and think through things more -- now that this is my new reality. It's neat!

Thanks. `Makes sense.

Q: do embedded videos on other domains (such as fixyt.com) get blocked, too? How does that work?

I have never laughed whilst opening up HN. Thank-you for that!

Easter is on the 20th of April this year. You will miss the boat completely!

Yes! Personally, I use a tickle folder system within my email and it keeps me very organized. I would love to automate a large chunk of this but haven't found a good way to do this.

I think there is a lot of whimsy in what Don Knuth chose to do to version TeX -- using pi (3.14) and moving the precision to the right upon every (though, not often) version bump. Probably a little impractical for the rest of us, but it's my favorite! `So creative!

Something drôle I caught on Joe Armstrong's twitter feed: ``A machine learning researcher, a crypto-currency expert, and an Erlang programmer walk into a bar. Facebook buys the bar for $27 billion.''

No kidding! I recall that strike, and had no idea. Thanks for sharing.

I was really jazzed when this came out. For me, it fell flat. Perhaps it needs a second viewing. Kudos for the use of models instead of cgi for this filmmaker, though -- pretty awesome decision. The results speak for themselves. Striking visuals!

I am excited about a new kid on the block for releases: http://relx.org/

Nice.. I had no idea!

Also a Music nut:

The organ is really one of the first computers, actually. It takes in an input and based on your function which you switch on and off, transforms it (make my sound sound like flute, make my sound sound like chorus). I would love to visit this man's home as I hear Knuth has a killer home organ. Neat guys! Being a musician before hacker, I now feel less of a fraud. :)

Yikes! I really hope this gets resolved for you!

The father of Erlang, Joe Armstrong, lauds this language every time he gets a chance. And I think the hate on Erlang syntax comes from the fact that a first stab at Erlang was done with Prolog. But I actually like the Erlang syntax after I got used to it. It reads like English ~

_love_ the domain name!

photo six: is she wearing braces? If so... is that common over there? I spent the better part of my 2011 paycheck to get Invisalign in my mouth and find that a little odd if that's the case. Maybe Morris' book has officially corrupted me!
