About ThinkWriteMute
I focus mainly on Ruby, Haskell, and Erlang. I loath (even if they're just tools) C, C++, and Java. I love the Ruby Philosophy, even if the Ruby Community has become something I hate (dry, elitist, and greedy).

Less heat, less space, less crap getting into the computer, less breakable things... Yes, I fucking do think it'll suck less.

Netbooks suck to use, I know because I'm using one right now. Small, cramped, hot, ugly.

So, as you can see, Cherokee is the fastest and best designed among the modern web servers. How does this statement hold up against YAWS?

Eclipse Phase is a roleplaying game that is the first (AFAIK) to come under the Creative Commons license. They seed their own torrent for the PDF. They still sell well at $50 dolla…

Right. We see how well that works. You need to research Eclipse Phase, the RPG. Scratch that, your ignorance is startling.

Yes, it was funny to no one. This is why the comment has +5.

And? Some guy posted using the word "nigger". He may not be calling people "nigger", but he used a word that is racially insensitive! Booga booga! Jesus.

Civility has nothing to do with it. It was a not-so-clever pun. I wasn't actually using it as a pejorative. That should be painfully obvious.

I'm currently heavily entrenched in Sinatra. I'm surprised to learn that Django and Rails do user accounts for you. Crazy.

Ask HN: Web Application Development?
I'd love to make some web applications. I've got tons of ideas, I can program (Ruby, Haskell, Erlang), but I've got almost no experience making web applications. Are there any guid…

I just found this: http://www.census.gov/tiger/tms/gazetteer/zips.txt So here's my solution: def state?(zip) zip_code_list = File.open('zips.txt') suggested_list = zip_code_list.gr…

Here's a ruby version, smaller more compact and easier to update (probably more correct too): def state?(zip) case zip[0] when 0 then states = ['CT','MA','ME','NH','NJ','PR','RI','…

That depends on your view. I'd much rather something more modern (YAWS, Ngix, Mongrel) be the most popular.

Actually, they didn't. You need to read up on your facts. For instance here's a post that sums it up rather nicely: "No, they didn't. People think that the "want to find out more?"…
