I hear you, friend, it's like it's ok for companies to hire us , men, as a "risky bet", I'm not the best engineer but thankfully my employers have all "seen" something in me to have enough faith to give me the chance to learn the job and then become better. Women seem to not get the same kind of good faith: my partner has two engineering degrees and she's by far a better engineer than I (skill-and-attitude-wise), and yet most companies reject her because of her "lack of experience". I know that that is a problem that befalls recent graduates all over the globe, but the fact that I garnered faith from employers more than once and she hasn't, not a single time, is -IMO- telling of a lack of balance.

Happens to me too, with a slightly modified latin-american keyboard layout

Interesting, does this essay convey to you that the manual labourer is doomed and Russell's being a pessimist? I got quite the contrary from it (advocating some sort of socialist state), on par with wilde's [the soul of man under socialism](http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/wilde-oscar/soul-m...)

Or are you referring to other writings by Russell? I have to confess that besides this essay and "proposed roads to freedom" I've read little of his own stances.

Articles like this remind me of Bertrand Russell's [In praise of idleness](http://www.zpub.com/notes/idle.html):

"I want to say, in all seriousness, that a great deal of harm is being done in the modern world by belief in the virtuousness of work, and that the road to happiness and prosperity lies in an organized diminution of work."

nice twitter integration!

Cool, I'm currently using vim and the fugitive plugin offers a similar functionality: http://sontek.net/turning-vim-into-a-modern-python-ide#integ...

Something like wsgi/rack/ring would be cool (actually, ring could be your inspiration: https://github.com/mmcgrana/ring )

Check out rubinius, the bytecode seems to perform considerably faster than interpreted source: http://rubini.us/

I was wrong, ruby 1.9 has callcc back since 2009, you have to `require 'continuation'` now, though.

Cool, I was wondering if it could be implemented in ruby; it's a shame that callcc isn't present anymore in ruby 1.9

Sounds nice, but keep in mind that the git history is modifiable: http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/gitmagic/ch05.htm...
