Neither John McCarthy nor Dennis Ritchie was college dropout. Steve Job sort-of was.

2 vs 1! Don't dropout!

Does it work 99% of the time though?

Slashdot still has many excellent comments.

Just don't read it real time. Wait a day, and the good comments will be moderated as such.

Incidentally a few women expressed similar opinions a few years ago on two other forums I visited.

Really, if he used "some women" (edit: or many women I know) would you have any objection?

I actually think that "many women" isn't exaggeration.

Similar issues are discussed frequently in many forums. It's only you don't know what you don't know!

Edit: Ok. I exaggerated. But we really don't know.

Just count in binary, everything will be easier.

110 * 111 = 101010

Very easy, don't you think? :)

I think "carrying-cost" is ok. Perhaps not for newbies, but for seasoned developers it's clear what this is about without translations.

Kind of off-topic, but I don't really understand what Node.js is about until this presentation.

You don't have to be this rude :)

Some people use Java in spite of the language: they just like the vast libraries.

It looks like an entry about what Java can learn from Erlang.

It's not about learning Erlang.

I am pretty sure Java guys know quite well about various memory models. But early Java was kind of experimental, so backward compatibility affects what they can change now.

Is hightscalablility.com really the best place to start?

I'd thought that reading some classic distributed computing books is a must.

No, it should make you feel proud -- understanding the world through 26 (or other small numbers of) alphabets.

Right. But they does not claim HoneyComb is open source.

(They does not deny it outright though. That's little devilish (evilish not a word!), but I can sympathy with them)
