  1. @jasongorman very true - if I can't get funding to monkey with the raw fabric of reality then no one else should either ;)
  2. @jasongorman lol coming from a physics background I find it bizarre that CS is so theory-driven - it's not a science without experimenters
  3. @jasongorman brilliant blog post - as another 80s self-taught coder I think your analysis is spot-on
  4. @pbjorklund most of the questions raised were about parsing and the difference between interpreters and compilers
  5. @pbjorklund IF appears a couple of times, but I didn't talk about it at all - seems a bit redundant in our #multicore world ;)
  6. @wayneeseguin glad you liked the slides - rare for me to attempt something for beginners so I was petrified it would #megafail
  7. @ReinH @wayneeseguin I <3 papyrus - makes me feel like I know what I'm talking about lol
  8. @flossienet always happy to help
  9. @wycats frankly though I don't think that much of any of the buggers - anyone who can get elected probably shouldn't be
  10. @wycats same goes for Democrat == Labour
  11. @wycats I never really understood why most UYK commentators assume GOP == Tory when they're a totally different beast
  12. but playing with @shoesrb the past few days has reminded me that there's an actual point to my #golang adventures
  13. trouble is I love learning new languages and #golang has depth that's not apparent at first sight - hence the 30 month deep-dive
  14. wondering if it's time to get back to working on #rubygolightly - love #golang but missing the #ruby community and feeling like a deadbeat
  15. @wycats I'm sure Obama would like to spend more, but the cookie jar's looking a bit empty right now...
  16. @wycats very true - which is probably why GW was so keen to push his social conservatism
