quixote

If you want to make me into the enemy, go ahead, but you're the Quixote here.

It's fascinating to think of Shakespeare reading Don Quixote and adapting a story from it for one of his later plays.

So since I'm completely over my head here: Will you name the simulator Don Quixote or Sancho Panza?

How does quixote or node compare in terms of memory performance?

Also recommend the mini-story within Don Quixote called The Ill-Advised Curiosity.

I'm developing a tool called Quixote [2] that enables TDD of this sort of code.

Speed is not a problem if you use good test design and tooling; my Quixote tests use Karma, run against ten browsers, and execute 200 tests / sec.

Don Quixote is based on fictional characters.

I don't think Quixote or Node are web servers..

I'm reading Don Quixote and Becoming Steve Jobs.

I feel like a cross between Don Quixote and the stay-off-my-lawn guy for fuming whenever someone sits down next to me when I'm trying to concentrate, and engages in a constant stream of messaging, or playing some game that's chirping and beeping and booping.

Classic description of a start-up CEO (without, clearly, the insight HN adds?) - "the guy would go all over the country like Don Quixote charging windmills, and he would put together these crazy deals.

"It refuses to take part in relevant legal challenges to state money transmission laws." No, it refused to participate in one court case filed by the Don Quixote of money transmission.

Or, as the OP describes it: > The Chilean poet Pablo Neruda called it “the greatest revelation in the Spanish language since ‘Don Quixote.’ ” The novelist William Kennedy hailed it as “the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race.” It's an excellent book, and he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982.

If you like Lem's description of fictitious scholarly research, I strongly recommend Jorge Luis Borges' short stories ("The Library of Babel", "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote" and "Funes the Memorious" come to mind).

Borge's 'Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote' gives a perhaps exaggerated but definitely interesting example of how context can be relevant.

You have some great but lengthy books (Don Quixote, The Lord of the Rings triology).

You kid, but a Mexican diplomat in Spain once asked to be taken to Don Quixote's grave so he could lay some flowers on it.
