Can someone explain why this wasn't done long ago? What are the difficulties of putting out a 64 bit build?

I think there's something to say about it being safer to bike in general in Netherlands vs in the US. Often in the US you are riding next to busy traffic, while in NE the bikes are better protected. Along with other things too: like a car driving population that is careful about bicyclists.
So, it's not exactly like saying I don't wear a seatbelt because I drive the speed limit. Rather it's like saying I don't wear a seat belt because I live in a different country where accidents are less probable.

Can someone explain what the "spread operator" is and how to use it?
limsup | 11 years ago | on: Why Not Eat Octopus?
We can live perfectly healthy lives without meat. That said, I have no problem killing an animal that lived a full non-tortured life for food. I do think we owe more than buying the expensive whole foods meat. I think we should all go through the experience of killing a cow, pig, lamb, and chicken. Killing animals shouldn't be completely abstracted away from society - we need to understand what we are doing in a hands on way.

I see that this didn't get much attention on HN, but I think it's a great idea. A step towards a purely client-side static blog - which would be cool.

Times Square generates 11% of NYC's economic output? 385k jobs?
I find these numbers difficult to believe.

Dude, it's totally fucked. Like removing the sea from seaside towns. i'm sure if you're a mediterranean fisherman you would not be happy having the sea forcibly moved away from your home... The environmental impact is probably immeasurable.

I'm offended you assumed the commenter is male.

The images of a cheering crowd with hands in the air has become annoyingly cliche for social apps. Nearly as cliche as About pages with circular images of the employees.

Once you've had some time to look this over, I think we'd all appreciate a blog post that explains the differences between cap'n proto and flatbuffers

I assume it's called this because a cockroach can supposedly survive a nuclear attack. But it's a bad name. It does not invoke good feelings.

Am I the only one who was totally onboard until I saw it was written in lisp? Can't trust non-pragmatic people.

Cool project! It'd be nice if the build system was converted to GYP, so that it integrated well with libuv.
