I don't know about this. My father is a scientist, and while he signs his correspondence as Sasha, he publishes under Alexander. As for метмах vs. матмех - it could easily be Perelman having a dyslexic moment, or the journalist misquoting.

How does this blow Craigslist out of the water? As far as I can tell, it's the same old craigslist, questionably skinned, and with less options.

I guess it depends on your definition of "done". If something is sorta slapped together in a way that is hard to read/debug or non-performant, to me that's not "done". So perhaps it's a matter of semantics.

Oh I get that (did read the whole thing) however conversely, couldn't it then just be titled, "Smart" with an explanation further down that smart people know that they have to get things done or else it's just talk? I mean, you can redefine

There is one big problem with JS's paradigm of Smart and Gets Things Done that I never see addressed. It's right there in the title. If a programmer Gets Things Done , what does Smart add to the equation? Say you have a cat who habitua

For those of us waiting to learn what happened, the title is baity and misleading. A more accurate headline would be: "Rightscale outage: some speculation and customer service suggestions for Amazon". At the time of writing Amazon has not

It could be YouTube, or it could be your ISP "shaping" the traffic. You can use Glasnost ( http://broadband.mpi-sws.org/transparency/bttest-mlab.php ) to test the latter.

It really depends on where you are. America's states are analogous to European countries, albeit with a common language. The cultures are very, very different.

People tend to forge their identities when they feel inadequate about their past. As an immigrant privy to no Americans present get-togethers, I see it all the time. The same people who lump all Southerners or Midwesterners into a overweigh

There are exactly zero occurrences of the words "women" or "female" in the article. The only reference to gender at all is a brief and completely inconsequential mention of the fact that your typical Postgres hacker is, among other things,

So... joking about blacks being [racist stereotype] on a majority-white website is ok because (a) it makes the majority laugh and (b) it's not making fun of any one black person individually? Please explain your logic here.
