``Believing Is Seeing'' by Errol Morris is a great read for those who are torn here... A great read.

Is ``Jessica's'' comment not far from the truth because Scala and Go have shared memory for their Actors/Processes? I know Erlang doesn't share memory between their processes which leads to concurrency; is this what she was getting at?

logged into HN for the first time in a _long_ while just to up this.

Is Gezi Park a _public_ or _private_ park?

I as well love jekyll. I wonder if it can stay in step with the hopes of the node Ghost project?

Evan.. nice to see you on the top slot on HN!

Thoughtful blog post as usual.

the F,f,t,T commands really changed my life.

However, after using vim for a long time, I still use the arrows! Not all the time, but a lot. I find that my fingers are always darting around on the margins using $ an ^ and ~ and ... my argument is what's wrong with traveling a little to get to those equally distant arrow keys? I don't really consider the hjkl to be my home position for my hands much. Thumb on space bar is home, if I had to define it.

This is a great start; I will commence tonight! Thanks!

Less' F command is fantastic. Great lead! I didn't find anything in the man pages for less to somehow 'clear' the screen while tailing. Here is my pickle: I use xmonad under Mac OS X and it in turn uses xterm. CTRL^L does not clear the screen (helpful for a dev I have to say) -- maybe some key binding limitations there; not sure. Is there a way with less to do so when emulating tail -f ?

If someone knows how to tail -f and then clear the screen when using X11's xterm, that would be most helpful.

Joe is fearless and an inspiration. For those with 25~ dollars to spare, pick up Joe's 'Programming Erlang' and never regret it. I _think_ differently after reading that book. I am mainly a musician, but what he uncovered for me regarding our brains and how we think blew me away.

There's an app for that! -- actually, there are 1000 apps for that: http://chizzl.com/

I studied violin at Juilliard with the great Dorothy DeLay. She taught the greats such as Perlman and Midori, and she insisted that 'talent' was nothing more than a 'mood.' I will always treat her viewpoint on this as gold having taught so many youngsters over the decades. So, work hard, and think big of yourselves as your reward (although that can be so hard to do!)

SEEKING WORK -- NYC -- remote ~ Rails - more or less full stack, but I am not going to be very helpful if asked to open PhotoShop. I am largely language agnostic; tons of years with the LAMP stack, using rails a lot in the last 6 years. I am really excited for Erlang OTP and building backends out that can handle stress. I love coding html, and my JS abilities are strong, too. I have only worked for startups in the last several years, so that's my temperament. I am looking to hack on something NYC - based that can fill something close to 30-hours a week-ish.

OMG. This literally will solve a UI issue that chizzl.com (my lil start-up that could) has been trying to solve for 2 months. Bless this lib and bless Ycomb!

I am involved with a Rails project where the creative developer decided a single-page app was what we needed. We use the views/partials as fetching pieces, calling them via ajax calls and all is well. The added benefit is every unit of namespace has its own home, so SEO for everything is achieved. I am a huge advocate for the newer and better, but Rails is a great solution for single page applications. Also, it's great to write code in Ruby whenever one can; cmon, life is too short!

I play violin. It's a really difficult system to grasp and the left hand and right hand have extremely contrasting rolls -- so one learns two difficult systems just to play one instrument. It prepared me well for learning languages and understanding how to code/hack. http://nato.cc/ for some violin music (warning: classical music YIKES).

I have 3 customers -- what the are they going to do, those poor souls!!

what a winner! And they charge!! FUX.

I also vote more :)

I wanted to plug RedHat's fantastic Paas: openshift. I am using their DIY package and really loving it. I feel it stands on the shoulders of Heroku (Heroku uses AWS let's not forget so it will always be more dear than AWS). But Heroku has been very good to me and I still use it for certain things.

Also a great 'no-holds-bar' american piece is the following:

quite great.

Thank-you. Absolutely Incredible.

I appreciate the links. I will pass them along.

Thanks so much!
