Microsoft would win the game and take the princess home if they just sawed off the damn numpad off either the Natural 4000 or even better the black Natural Elite.
Maybe that's a good idea because it makes it easy to compare the two?

SEEKING WORK - Remote

I work remotely from Serbia and I can help you with Ruby and Javascript projects, including frameworks like Rails and Backbone.

If this sounds similar to what you're working on I'd love to hear from you. Drop me a line([email protected]) or check out my site http://miloshadzic.com .

A lot of people are just idling and the "active" group is really rather small.

Cool, looks like a useful library.

Didn't check the code out but it looks like p is something like:

    obj.tap { |x| puts x }

I would love to see this working.
I don't think it's like that. I think they're just developing it through usage.

And it's not like it's been ten years yet.

Ask HN: What are your experiences with Clojure?

In spirit of the last few weeks of Go posts, I'm interested to hear about other people's experience of building larger things with Clojure.What did you build, what went well, what didn't, pretty much anything that springs to mind after spending some time building things with it.I'd start with my own experience but I'm starting this thread because I don't have any.

Re:Life as a Service on Tuesday September 25, 2012 @01:06PM (#4571413)
The passport fee is not the problem. Until relatively recently I've had to(and still do for some countries) also provide a lot of paperwork and pay a visa fee to go to a neighboring country.

And I know 100$ sounds like not much but consider that my parents were not of means in a country of a rather low standard of living.

This may not be what the author meant with this paragraph but it's what resonated with me.

Re:Life as a Service on Tuesday September 25, 2012 @05:46AM (#4569487)
This hits very close and I guess you only realize it if at some point of your life you live where you'd rather not but have no way to get out.

    I need permission from my government if I want to leave
    the country. Being given a passport is apparently not a
    right. Oh and they cost quite a bit of money and are 
    valid only 5 years. That works out to a certain amount of 
    money per day just to be able to exist outside the
    borders of the country I was born in. Good thing it
    doubles as an ID card, I can save a bit there. Now I’ve
    never done anything from the list of offenses that would
    stop me from receiving a passport but I really wonder who 
    gave who the right to stop anybody from going where they
    wanted to go. It makes very little sense to me, all these 
    countries each with their own set of laws, borders,
    border guards to keep people out of one place, border
    guards to keep people in another place and so on. It
    feels as though they’re all prisons, just large enough
    that you can’t see the fences on the edge. But the fences
    are definitely there. And you can only buy your way out.
    Never mind that to go somewhere else you are also going
    to have to buy your way in.
Re:Moving to Go on Wednesday September 19, 2012 @09:20AM (#4543376)
Let me help you out then:

    I switched from ruby to clojure because jvm is awesome
    and it's a lisp and I also use coffescript, backbone,
    requirejs and raphael. I've been using this stack for
    about a month and a half, it's awesome.
Does this help? How does this help you solve your problem? I'm going to go with "It doesn't". All of these posts boil down to that form.

The good ones start with: "Over the last year we deployed [insert stack] into production..". And then tell me what sucked because not everything is awesome.

What's going on with all the upvoting of technology enumeration posts on HN? Is it so interesting that someone uses a different language or library?
How about Bitwig?

I love this feature and is one of the main reasons I use a windows phone.
I think it should be possible to practice empathy even if you don't have a person physically near.
This whole discussion, excluding a few posts, is a display of how HN is such a shitty place right now.

Re:Poll: Do you test your code? on Wednesday March 14, 2012 @02:33PM (#3704636)
I honestly use tests more as a design tool than for testing functionality. After that you end up with a kind of a regression test suite.

It's cool to try to use the API you're building before you build it.

Re:Put Callback Logic Into Callback Objects [Rails] on Thursday March 08, 2012 @12:20PM (#3680607)
Good point. Thanks.
Re:Put Callback Logic Into Callback Objects [Rails] on Thursday March 08, 2012 @08:50AM (#3679672)
This makes sense. Thanks.
Re:Put Callback Logic Into Callback Objects [Rails] on Thursday March 08, 2012 @08:36AM (#3679628)
You're right that it's similar to extracting it to a module since (in this example) HashGenerator.new is evaluated with the class and in my Request spec I can't exactly stub HashGenerator.new to return a double.

How would you do it?

I use Unix as an IDE but refactoring is much, much harder without dedicated IDE support.
