Humm ... Doesn't work for a huge number of things I entered: Have a lot of friends and family in Asia, and too many answers are "dunno, sorry".

Haha, in University, on a project with a friend, we ended up re-writing cpp (the C-compiler preprocessor) in Prolog. We got an A- and "I'm not sure why you'd do this … " on the project. Good times, good times.

The biggest lesson I've learned from various startups is that "all-in-it-together" is an awful lot like asking "How are you?" (The correct answer is "Fine!", even if your arm just got torn off, your cat died, and your spouse left you for a

"Popular" here is going to mean maybe 15% market share, if my memory serves correctly. Popular server languages remain Java, PHP, ASP.NET, and increasingly Ruby. In my mind, the reality is that you should choose the programming language ba

This. I find it is frequently accompanied by a non-trivial degree of condescension and complete and utter lack of understanding about how what they're trying to build would actually work.

This. This remains the most concise and to-the-point programming book I have -ever- read. It bothers me some that people (myself included) keep writing 900 page programming books when this can do nearly the same in 200. Once you're done wit

Let me be the first to jump in here and express a certain degree of uncertainty with what the author has written. While it does seem to be that, in Western societies, the societal pressure to cooperate and reciprocate would encourage people

I did a DVD training series for PHPTR and we used Snapz Pro X. Works really well, and supports a lot of crap that perfeshunnal video people seem to understand (I just did what I was told). http://ambrosiasw.com

Given the struggle that Google is having here in China, and all the hullabaloo surrounding his hire with Google in 2005, this is pretty big news, actually. Google is doing much better here than in 2006, but it's still all uphill for them, a

Honestly, for me, it's critical to be working on something enjoyable. If I don't like it, then it doesn't matter if it's at home or in an office ... I'm going to drag and procastinate. However, if it's fun, I can go 80 hours a week by myse

Daring Fireball has taken a huge credibility hit in my eyes in the last couple of weeks. It's been approaching TechCrunch-style speculation and histrionics. Yes, he deserves points for for admitting he was wrong - it takes a big person to

Gaaaa! And so soon after I just purchased a 3 year lease on my server. But even at the old rates, it's such a good deal, I'm really not that upset about it :)

I'm sorry, but nearly every single one of these statements is simply incorrect. 1. Chinese sites are all "[rip-offs] rip-off of existing sites and translate of interface and function" When anybody comes up with a good idea, a dozen other pe

Look, we can get one thing clear here: "Communist China" is not some dark gulag where people are beaten while walking down the street for having vaguely pro-democracy thoughts or something. Indeed, it's increasingly not accurate to call Ch

I've increasingly been viewing TechCrunch as the Bill O'Reilly show of the startup scene. The noise-to-signal ratio and tabloidesque sensationalism is too painful for my own personal tastes. However, I know lots of people who find it most

While there is a lot of good information in this article, the tone is a bit too tabloid-sensationalist for my tastes. "So while you are napping, eating or watching a movie on that flight to LAX, you should know the plane you are flying is c

I don't. I did a lot of research and talked to a lot of people. In the end, I decided there wasn't enough money in it to make it "worth it". I figured I could make a few k a year, and the amount of hassle it would have taken would be wel
