chrishouser··on MMO xkcd WebSockets fixed by PubNub
Any reason you copied the files manually instead of forking on github? The link to https://github.com/n01se/1110 was right there on the main page.

Yeah, server is limited to 20 users. "Massive" was more the wish than the reality.

If you become a ghost you can go through the ground. It's slow, but sufficient for getting past blocked tunnels.

node.js on a ti-micro. Just not much horsepower on the back end.

If the server hits its user limit, you can console yourself with a demo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvLxOVYeo5w
chrishouser··on Clojure is not Software Conservative
But I am a political conservative! Maybe a political conservative with more impressive rhetorical skills would have done better...

But wait, that doesn't make sense because this supposedly has nothing at all to do with political points of view.

chrishouser··on Clojure is not Software Conservative
There are a few features from Yegge's conservative list that I wish Clojure had. For example there is some very interesting work going on to support optional static typing. https://github.com/frenchy64/typed-clojure

But this article was not about what is desired, but about what is -- Clojure is not currently very "conservative" according Yegge's definition, for better or worse.

That's a fair point, but it was an attempt to inject actual facts into a conversation full of generalities.

What the survey does suggest is a lot of people who used "non-conservative" languages in the past are now using Clojure. Maybe they all decided they wanted a "conservative" language, or maybe they think Clojure is "non-conservative".

Or maybe these labels don't have much meaning after all.
