I spent my last three years doing various roles at two e-commerces in Indonesia, both top 5 in terms of traffic and transaction. For my last two years, I am doing backend works, both implementing features, system design, tuning performance (both from apps and infrastructure perspective), and doing developer tools.

I'd be very interested in working at either developer tools or high performance/scale processing.

Feel free to contact me if it looks like my skills fill your need. Good luck in your search!

Thanks! Much appriciated!

I've been reading the "How to pay for this book" page [1] and noticed that there the author said:

> I pro­grammed a new web-pub­lish­ing sys­tem.

I seem can't find any other reference to that, and still not sure about emailing the author directly yet. My google-fu failed me on this one. Anyone know if the author's system has been published or sold?

Thanks before.

It will be long before someone implement this in the real world (website). It needs 16MBs download for the standard libs. Even twitter only downloads around ~2MBs before showing page.

Yeah, and I'm not sure scala will be that useful without the standard libs, much like C# or Java.

Seeing the presentation, I'm thinking more of using it with something like node-webkit[1] though. Didn't LightTable use clojure-script or something? But then, why don't just use one of JVM's GUI framework?

    Long before the Facebook age, 
    I noticed something very interesting about 
    the personalities of the most vocal people
    I would meet in chatrooms, instant messengers 
    and bulletin boards: They were mostly shy. 
    It took a while for me to realize that this should 
    have been expected. Shy people tend to prefer the 
    anonymity of the internet, where social cues from 
    body language, eye contact and tone of voice don't 
    apply—largely because they are invisible to all.

This hits right at home. When I'm active a lot on facebook / twitter, I am a typical shy guy with little social skills. Then I started going out a lot and meeting lots of people. Then boom. Less twitter and facebook.

This might applies to HN too, but sometimes I find it weird because some people on HN are successful, and I think you can't be successfull without good social skills. Maybe we grow to become good socially, but still attached to the community? I've never experienced that though.

wait, the article is not sarcasm? I thought the site is some kind of the Onion for programmers?

> Few jobs are now so arduous that 70 year olds cannot perform well.

I think it's mostly physical jobs that 70 year olds cannot perform well. And that kind of job can be automated by robots anyway. For job like programming or CEO, I kind of think that 70 year olds can do better than say 20 year olds.

This is interesting. I live in Indonesia, where except on our capital (Jakarta and most Java), working 60 hours a week is the norm. I have noticed (and I think this has been proved over and over again) that people who works 60 hours a week is actually less productive and less happy than those who have a free weekends and work only 8 hours a day.

I wonder how much working time can we cut until the benefits disappear.

> I actively develop for Android as well, and I can say that BlackBerry development has done so many things right. It is really a dream to develop apps for. As a user, it's fantastic too.

I haven't seen and tried BB's SDK, but could you elaboreate more? Didn't they still use Java ME (which sucks compared to Android's IMO)?

It's increased BY 11$, not FROM 11$. Certainly not 640%.

The Amazon link don't work internationally I think. I can't download because "It is only available on US".

The objectifiedfilm works fine though. Downloading right now...

I'm not so sure about that...

    C:\Users\bert>scala
    Welcome to Scala version 2.9.2 (Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM, Java 1.7.0_06).
    Type in expressions to have them evaluated.
    Type :help for more information.

    scala> val x = Array(1, 2, 3)
    x: Array[Int] = Array(1, 2, 3)

    scala>

You can see that scala infers the type right (Array[Int]).
