I love Lua. Wish there was a shorter syntax for anonymous functions, though. (function(x) return x*x end)
Also, Lisp macros would be nice (didn't look at metalua)
That's 1000 dollars per user (that created content). Isn't that too much? Is this value important?
Sure... but I wish I could still read him sometimes. There is no blogger I enjoy to read these days (mostly they are too techinical...)
Can't find the Anything book, can you please give a link?
Why not 4M on safe 1% fund and 1M on riskier investment like stocks from Bluechips?
What became of Steve Yegge?
Indeed... So by clean you mean looking for usages of certain C++ features that should be avoided?
How can you "infer" the design only by looking at a pile of C++?
How can you tell? Did you work on it for a few months or you can just browse the SVN and notice it's well designed? I look and all I see at first is indentation style and directory organization.
This tires the eyes like normal LCDs, so for my main use it's the same as a netbook.
So, what is great, modern C++ code to read?
OMG if Slava Pestov was on Ocaml..
I bet they have plenty of time now that they are unemployed.
I'll take a look at the streaming API.
"You can also get full firehose access if it really does become successful (...)"
Sorry, I don't understand what "firehose access" means in this context. Care to explain? :)

Sometimes I have ideas of Web services that require the Twitter Search API. But then, after seeing the number of requests you can do by day (150 searches for example), I keep thinking: "well, this app could always be better written by them, on their servers. They could even copy my idea and do a much better implementation because for them there are no API limits."With 150 (or 1000...) requests...
I too thought you could have cheap reliable nationwide 1mbit connection with 3G these days...
Any idea what is the price of living on a RV vs sleeping on cheap motels?
Ah, yes... thanks.
Also, how living on a RV impacts "Don't drink and drive" ? :)
Sorry, I didn't get something... what's the objective of parking on top of the piece of wood?
And the "Don't be evil" motto.. I'm pretty sure that would be evil.
At some point I started caring more about the quality of the implementation than the syntax...
Terra means Earth in Portuguese... (and also means soil, land)
