Most (all?) of these companies have not been through a complete credit cycle since they were founded after 2008. I would be cautious about putting money into them that you cannot afford to lose. Only after they go through a full credit cycl

The curl handle should be re-used if possible so that's also part of the problem.

Good question. The only reference to it that I could find was here http://lkml.iu.edu//hypermail/linux/kernel/0412.1/0181.html but he doesn't explain why it's necessary.

From my experience (as a programmer) I have seen what I would consider both mediocre and talented developers who fit your description of frothing to themselves thinking they could do better on their own. Neither performed up to their abilit

I also think Racket is a good introduction to Lisp. The documentation is great. Take a look at the vector documentation as an example http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/vectors.html?q=vector&... . If you are not familiar with the langua

My suspicion is that their struggle is more about the perceived cost and time. My wife and I are able to eat most of our meals at $2-3 per person. We have found that to get the cost low, you need to seek out cheaper produce (usually not saf

Ask your self: what would you rather have a) a fulfilling relationship and perhaps sexual intimacy or b) the possibility of wealth and riches? You can't buy a and there is no guarantee of b. Edit: After thinking about it a little more, the

Great article! Recognize though that time is not fungible. For example just because you stop watching tv from 9pm to 10pm doesn't mean your going to be productive <insert task> in that same block of time after working a full day at

+1 The Artists Way Some of the disciplines she takes you through are tough but rewarding. One of my favorites is writing three pages in a journal per day. At the time it was tough, but it really helped to connect my head with my heart.

I'm beginning to agree with this more and more. Consider something you have done in the past that is similar to the the task at hand and use how long it took as a guide. It also helps if your development cycles are fairly short (i.e. 1-2 we

As odd as it may seem we often prototype something we need to test using web.py even though our primary development language is php (using Zend). I recently did this to test a REST API. This has also been part of our process of 'flirting' w

For those of us who like the gmail interface this seems like a reasonable option. But, you still have to "push" the problem to another provider. Who do you rely on for your 'some other email domain'?

Pay off any debts you have and set aside some for taxes. Consider some diversification, but keep as much of it as you can (or stomach) as liquid as possible (high interest savings accounts, CDs, or treasuries). There may be some great oppor

I understand the longing to be close to family, but unless her yearly income is somewhere around 200K, she shouldn't have bought the house. I'm basing that on 20% down, and a mortgage of about 3x income ((730 * 0.8) / 3). I'm not sure where

I'll second Oakland. The cost of living is lower in terms of rent/housing and you can still be close to BART and lots of great parks, trails, and culture. From Oakland, you can work anywhere (just about) from Fremont to SF.
