Usually at some point I start yelling at myself "ok, you REALLY need to work now" and once I get into it I'm extremely focused and productive, especially if a deadline is looming.

My advice: Get really good at C in linux. Focus on learning about cool algorithms and datastructures (hash tables, rb-trees, alpha-beta search, shift-reduce, ...) rather than the particulars of any language. If you get great at C program

Good luck to you! It's inspiring to hear about starting a company on pocket change! I'm wondering if you're allowed to use those "New York Times", CNN, etc logos... sometimes companies can be protective of their branding. Do you plan to fo

Sadly, I feel the same way about "organic" and "free range" labels. I wish I could feel good about spending more money to buy sustainable food, but I think it's mostly bogus marketing.

"Tax the Rich" seems to be a popular sentiment (probably because the majority of people aren't rich and would rather anybody but themselves pay more in taxes), but is it effective? The richest 1% of the population already pays for 40% of t

I hate it when I spend money on software just to be treated like a villain. What happens when the license server gets taken down? I still play 27-year-old NES games on occasion. Will Ubisoft even be around in 27 years?

I'd put it this way: If you find yourself spending significant time inside a debugger, you should probably rethink how you (or your teammates) have been developing code. Time is certainly better spent preventing bugs with unit tests, asse

I find "Don't reinvent the wheel" to be a terrible idiom. Think about the wheel for a moment. Is the wheel on your bike the same as the wheel on your car, or on a train, or an an airplane? Of course they're all different! The wheel has
