This cheered me up a little, I confess.
When I click \\Pricing// I am scrolled to seeing the green text ''Eliminate Meetings , Get a Pulse , Never Forget''. It tells me nothing of price. So I look for largest text closest to middle. There I see ''What do our Customers Say?''. Also totally irrelevant to what I want, the price.

Please make sure that bottom item scrolls high enough. I know that this is partially because my screen is 1900x1200, so just pad the last item.
I agree re the mindset of hackers: finding some neat new application and knowing exactly what you want to do with it, only to have its mechanics and implementation details utterly obfuscated so that you can only do what the designers intended is an incredibly frustrating experience.

The current industry-wide focus on simplified UI and managed UX that has the effect of constraining users into presumptive usage patterns is quite obnoxious to hackers and power-users who want to be in control of their own experience.
Yes, a simple post-receive hook will do the regeneration, but when you have a lot of small edits (I usually do this when I finish off my blog posts), the time to commit, push and wait for the site to be regenerated is kind of frustrating.

I've used jekyll for the past 2 years and have blogged quite a bit about it (https://www.google.co.in/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8... ) I think it is an awesome framework, in how it really gets out of your way. And that is what I am trying to accomplish with my design, getting out of the users way and allowing him to just write content. Would love to hear any other feedback you guys might have.

The comment about SMART errors would indicate they are a dedicated server customer. I don't have many of those, so it's funny I don't remember (and I probably owe them a price cut; I have new and dramatically cheaper dedicated servers now[1] and I try to give old customers first hack at price cuts.) - but the ram/money ratio is a bit more favourable to the customer on dedicated servers (of course, you have to buy a whole lot more.)

It's interesting that the amazon instances are that cheap, though; I hadn't done that math for a while; It does look like I need to improve my ram/dollar ratio; I need to stay cheaper than ec2 for the reasons you stated. (also, ec2 has an awesome reputation and can get corporate customers... so they are going to price themselves rather higher than the cost of production for that reason alone. I should be cheaper than they are.)

Oh yeah, I also do co-location[2] and if you want to talk about saving money? if you need north of 32GiB ram, you can save a huge amount of money over a year by buying hardware and co-locating it. Actually, the hardware cost of a dedicated server? as a rule of thumb, it's less than what you charge the customer for 4 months rent. (Of course, you have to pay for power out of that, so I don't pay off the server in four months, but you get the idea. It's not particularly low-margin.)

Well, explaining your point of view - the parenthesis aren't there only to make the language look like lisp - I used it for its syntax and for delimit the scopes.

Now, about the "else if", I also felt bad about it, and I'm thinking about a changing for it, I'm still working on it, as in a lot of features. If you want to add some feature or change something, please feel free and do it - just show your purpose before do anything, so we might discuss how it will work .

And yes, I started this project while on university, and I don't think it sucks, because my intention is not to create a new technology - at first instance - but help people who want to learn how to write a programming language (as you can read on the README file), whatever comes to this project (bad or good), it will be well accepted for learning.

I also agree with you that Java is not the best tool for implement such thing, and I was thinking about rewriting it to C++ or Python.

Great job, i have been wondering ruby as an embedding/portable small language for a long time.
Before going 'legal' (especially as you seem to have nothing specific in writing), why not talk to your manager, or the most appropriate person about it.

Explain, why you're worried ("We agreed there would be options grants, and I know you're a man of your word, but it has been a little while now, and I wonder if you could explain why there has been a delay, and when we can expect to get them").

Odds are that it is nothing malicious, or dodgy, but if you're at a fast growing startup there are probably lots of other things on your CEO's plate, and these might have been put near the bottom of the queue.

But it is worth talking it through (there are lots of reasons why it might be taking a while- lawyer on holiday, investors need to sign off etc).

If your boss is evasive or refuses to discuss specifics, then you can start to worry!

(I'm in the UK, and my options took a year and a half to get finally sorted and signed off, but I trusted my boss, so didn't feel I needed to worry about it!)
A popular thing, even!

Could anyone explain to me what the difference with normal ruby is?

"Lightweight", does that mean:

Small but slow?
Big but fast?
Quite small and quite fast, but with a half-assed library?
Big, slow, but low RAM usage?

I understand from another comment that this is intended for embedded systems. Does that mean running it on a microcontroller without OS? Cause the moment you can flash Linux, you can use Ruby MRI, no?
No idea, even I am so dumbfounded. May be I didn't search enough.
Is it? There are a quite a few high-quality blogs I read (via RSS feeds, of course), but I usually discover them via aggregators such as HN, Reddit, Metafilter, etc.

I've found Facebook and Twitter to be a terrible way to identify high-quality content sources: they ironically lack the social-filter function. It's the cultural norms of a community like HN, combined with its also socially-mediated ranking mechanism, that enable aggregators to function so well as content filters. Facebook and Twitter are disjointed in that no one is taking to precisely the same group of people, and there's no evaluative mechanism at all: if someone you follow posts it, it shows up on your front page. Linear flow of all information is exactly what you get.

Facebook is excellent as a glorified contact list, but I still can't found a purpose for Twitter in my life. Reddit is the real winner: the subreddits are coherent communities, and they can be viewed and subscribed to independently of each other, so you're joining a community of communities, each with its own content-filtering mechanism. Of course, Reddit is essentially a modern version of USENET.

Purely from investor perspective, here's how I would do FB valuation:

Assume that FB doubles its profits in next 2 years. Then also let's say it gets in to 3 new businesses as big as its current business and dominates them just as well. That would put their profits to ~$8B.

Now again assume that FB maintains its dominance successfully on all of the above 1+3 businesses for next 10 years. So in this "dominating life span" of FB, there would be total $80B made. If you put probability of everything from inventing new businesses to fending off all competitors successfully for next 10 years at 0.5 then FB's risk adjusted worth would be $40B. It should be obvious that this valuation is way too on generous side (normally I would more aggressive parameters). It should be easy to see that valuations like $100B is extremely unrealistic.

As OP has pointed out bubble is an effect when people take one unrealistic valuation as a reference point and make their own valuations just as unrealistic causing system-wide chain reaction. With Instagram, Evernote and such that chain reaction is unfolding right in front of us.
>mRuby is the light-weighted implementation of ruby language complied with ISO

Can anyone tell me how it's different from other ruby implementations? What does 'execute various environment' mean? Can I run it inside JVM like JRuby?
I liked your demonstration. A mix of python and Lisp syntax doesn't sound bad.
mark zuckerberg signed in and liked it with no preview, why wouldn't you?
We've currently got Ctrl+Drag (or Cmd+Drag on OS X) for panning around the workspace, and the mouse wheel up/down is mapped to zooming in/out. (Probably need to better document these somewhere!) Compatibility with other keyboard/mouse conventions is something I will pass on to the UI team.

Agree about "amazingly useful ... lightning fast" to switch between modes -- we just added a keyboard shortcut for re-running the last simulation, just so we could eliminate the burden of explicit mode switching between schematic capture and simulation.
>I understand from another comment that this is intended for embedded systems.

Nope, he said embedding. He means things like Lua where you have a scripting language embedded in a program that is running on a faster lnaguage. Common in video game dev.

>Does that mean running it on a microcontroller without OS?

Nope, not necessarily. It being portable means it's plausible but it's an unlikely usage scenario. More likely, it means being able to use it across a variety of POSIX derivatives.

>Cause the moment you can flash Linux, you can use Ruby MRI, no?

Also not true. What a micro-distribution of Linux can run on is not necessarily something MRI Ruby can also run on.

IMO, I believe that for a good programming language to exist, the power is on its grammar. Of course we can choose the wisest syntaxes, and the best technologies to build it, but the kernel of the language is on its grammar.

That's my opinion.

Yeah. I'm considering repricing or getting rid of (or repricing and only taking yearly orders) or something for the under 512M images. I've been getting a lot of flack from people in IRC about how expensive I am even though once you move up into the 1gb range, I'm reasonably competitive with most new VPS companies (and way cheaper than the companies that have been around as long as I have.)

I mean, ram is also getting cheaper, and I need to increase ram per dollar across the board just for that, but when I set those prices? $5 was a very low 'smallest thing you can order' price. It's not any more.

I once heard about 3 levels of knowledge:
1. Understanding
2. Remembering
3. Being able to teach
From a business perspective (and believe it, it hurts me saying that), this discussion makes no sense. It's like saying: 'are we in a PMIs bubble'? Or, 'are we in a multinationals bubble?'. The point is that we tend to group things together in categories. But does it make sense to put, say, Facebook and, say, MakeLeaps (start up that manages invoices for small businesses) in the same category? It think it does not, as much as it does not make sense to put Apple and Mc Donald in the same pot. Would you say Apple and Mc Donald are in a multinationals bubble?

However, those discussions do show something, that there is an underlying need to understand the market and the businesses out there. More start ups focused on BtoB I think are needed. Corporate and business software sucks and costs a lot in terms of actual cost and lost efficiency, when are people going to realize that and work on that too?
>Improving poor taste in upper leadership is almost as difficult as treating severe paranoia: people who don’t value taste and design will rarely recognize these shortcomings or seek to improve them. With very few exceptions, companies that put out tasteless, poorly designed products will usually never change course.

Taste is a subjective thing. In my eyes, Metro is more well designed than iOS. Maybe Steve Ballmer has poor taste, but he's not the one designing WindowsPhone.

You're confused with Java. In PHP it is simple, just counter-intuitive and set up to mislead you. It would look like a rock but turn into a viscous liquid as soon as you try to hit the nail and the nails get stuck in it.

I think the parallel to Sun's MS suit from long
ago is fairly straightforward.

Not it isn't.

Microsoft had Java licensed from Sun, meaning that they could use the Java trademark for their own compiler and their own VM. In return Microsoft had to make their compiler and their VM be compliant with Java's specifications.

Microsoft then started to extend everything, the language, the base class library (and you cannot extend the base namespaces, e.g. java.*) and their virtual machine. They did this while advertising to developers that their compiler takes Java code and produces Java-compatible bytecode.

The differences:

- Google never agreed to an (explicit) license
- Dalvik is not a Java VM and was never advertised as such
- Google does not claim Android has Java technology inside
- Google does not claim that the compiled binaries can be
executed on Java VMs

What Google actually did:

- created a compiler that translates from JVM bytecode
to Dalvik bytecode
- took the base Java library from Harmony, a
clean-room implementation

What Google did is exactly what projects like IKVM.net are doing. IKVM is a project that allows you to recompile and run Java jars on top of a .NET VM.

This is not new and if Oracle wins it will open a huge can of worms, as if our industry wasn't having enough problems related to "intellectual property" already.

There are many ways to slice and dice what learning and knowledge can be understood as. I'm no expert, but my daily work is in educating youth organisations (Scouting) and occasionally with training leaders for such organisations.

I'm in the school of Bloom's Taxonomy for learning objectives. It goes like this:

1. Remember

2. Understand

3. Apply

4. Analyse, evaluate and create

This grading goes from the known and concrete to the unknown and abstract. But, as said, there are many ways to look at this. Some say that the fourth point can be separated into three points, other's argue they are of equal level of skill. Just take a look at the Wikipedia article for Bloom's Taxonomy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blooms_Taxonomy) and you'll see that it even portrays several different perspectives to one (actually two) theory.

It's things like this and Corona (Lua) that make me thing that the people that are proclaiming that the emergence of mobile is going to lead to a native code "renaissance" are indulging in some wishful thinking.

Sure, there will always be some apps that will need to be coded close to the metal in C/C++ for maximum performance. But now we're seeing more and more that even on mobile devices we have enough power that we can afford to write most apps primarily or even entirely in "managed" languages like Lua, Java, and (apparently) Ruby.
