Looks like he trying to clean up incase his parole officer finds out (given the sentence reduction), anyone know what court originally convicted him in 2007?
>[Clojure] .. example of the emerging trend of evented, asynchronous backend languages.
Clojure is not a great example of this, and certainly doesnt have any event loop magic or async IO libraries built in. There is some in progress such as Aleph etc.. . But hey another great example of people promoting shit they know nothing about.
Statistic is flawed. Most people who use the default white themes probably dont read HackerNews, dont care to optimize their setup or routine. Those that read hackernews with a woren out F5 key are likely to be heavily influenced by the dark theme propaganda (screencasts etc..) that swamp HN. Just saying.. I can draw any reasonable conclusions from your stats, or even my own devil's advocate view.. Does it matter?
Shhh... Don't tell everyone! The editor screenshots and code samples in the Rails Tutorial book are light because dark was too jarring against the surrounding text. The screencasts, on the other hand... Mwa hah hah!
This reminds me of the discussion on the where are people located survey and how self reported data like this is essentially worthless. Since the only conclusions one can draw from this sort of survey is that of those who responded 63% prefer the dark background, and that there are people who like light and those who like dark. Further generalization is meaningless.
Watch it last night. Nothing new of any value. If you read any of the articles when the guy died you'll know the story already. Only interesting bit was steve woz saying how he wasnt bittered but was upset to the point of crying when he read years later than jobs had fucked him over on the money from the split for developing a game in the early days.
