  1. @lancehilliard @jeffcox111 @bgswanson Thanks. I was just reading about Nancy - similar to my faves in other languages github.com/NancyFx/Nancy
  2. @DPritchett @lancehilliard @jeffcox111 @bgswanson I should've mentioned I hope to use JSON for everything
  3. @lancehilliard @jeffcox111 @bgswanson If I want to build a REST-ish .NET service should I try the latest .NET MVC or what?
  4. Rereading Yegge's brilliant rant on platforms and SOA... so much good stuff in here: plus.google.com/11267870222871…
  5. @poweredbyaltnet bpython on windows? news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4000731
  6. @patio11 please remind some folks about the difference between "worth" and "value generated" wrt: dev salaries here: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3987465
  7. Harebrained workaround of the day >> (1..100).each { |x| puts "insert into dbo.integers values (#{x})" }
  8. New goal: understanding mapcat clojuredocs.org/clojure_core/c…
  9. Suddenly Y Combinator is backing Diaspora? Did not see that coming. businessweek.com/printer/articl…
  10. @bkmontgomery Dalek trap maybe?
  11. @bitprophet How did you implement that? list(set(hosts))?
  12. @rbranson @jes5199 he already knows how to do that; we called you because we need some Mongo help
  13. @rbranson could you talk to @jes5199 for me please? he has an idea i think you might be able to help out with.
  14. @craigkerstiens maybe @jashkenas could weigh in on that then!
  15. @craigkerstiens jwz's blog on porting xscreensaver to osx by reimplementing existing api calls was a hoot
  16. @craigkerstiens got any examples of an api supporting a ui? DOM, CSS, tk, etc?
  17. @craigkerstiens depends whether you get to define the data model or not. 'Requests' wraps existing model faithfully; tablib had more leeway
  18. @craigkerstiens I guess you already read Reitz's blog on the subject then? I liked that for his use case: library design
  19. @craigkerstiens depends on the user base, upstream integrations, and the formality required. We talking heroku addons or what?
  20. Enjoying the new "Clojure Programming" thanks to the O'Reilly bookshelf. So far it's just my speed.
