I'm very much not a fan of RMS, but here's one way you can square that circle: He and you could both live by the principle that you do as much to fit your principles as you feasibly can. If you have someone to help you get online

Ayo! I'm making a game engine and writing a tutorial about it! In the second post, I'm making Honey into a library and using the SDL to make a window. Simple stuff, still very early in the process.

I work for Google and I use Facebook regularly. It's still used by over 90% of my friends and acquaintances, in all (especially tech, academia, medical) spaces.

You said "Achilles geek". Look at your keyboard. That's the best typo ever.

That's way too simple. Many people on that list belong on that list, but... The American people overwhelmingly approved the Patriot Act, and the idea of surveillance, and the war on terror, and the actual wars on place. The Obama admin

PS If you don't live in an area with good schools that let you take classes on the side, the best thing you can do is move to such an area.

Briefly: You have the most important problem solving skill of all (and one of the rarer): recognition of your own limitations. http://norvig.com/21-days.html (Hopefully more later if I think of more) Addendum: I don't feel like it's as im

The signal is weak but extremely detectable. It's exactly like the signal for a positive response; in general, click through rates for various things are around one or two tenths of a percent. If Ad A is getting a tenth of a percent and Ad

I think you're telling yourself that moving to the bay would be better for your marriage. It sounds like your wife is trying to tell you staying and changing your lifestyle would be better for your marriage.

You're right. What you're doing is not sustainable. Your wife has stayed with you through 84 hour work weeks, a car crash, brain damage, and pills. All indications are that she's an amazing woman and that you're lucky to have her. So, do wh

I think a much bigger problem is Wikipedia. It's a much quieter but much stronger monopoly, and the people who run it are known to be prone to cliques, drama and manipulation. Google is professional, and for the time being, not dangerous. W

Paul, I've been reading your stuff for six years, and that's the first one that made me cry. It's the last step on a good path, and I was worried you would never take it. I'd been quite enamored of YC for a while, but I had my doubts about
