I'm glad to see that they are experimenting with mixing Debian userland and the FreeBSD kernel... 6.0 looks like a very promising release.

San Diego isn't that rough; it's only rough if you aren't in the "scene". That said, if it isn't your thing, then I could see why it wouldn't work out - Las Vegas was rough for me because my personality didn't fit in with the "scene" there.

I like this rebuttal, a lot. I will say, having lived in California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Kentucky (not in that order) has made me realize this: culture counts for a lot, the internet is prolific, and calling any large American city a "t

"You just need to use it." Sums up the experience well.

I down voted your comment because you missed the point entirely. I did not buy a netbook, it was a laptop; I also didn't compare one to the other, I was relating personal experiences that lead up to my choosing OS X. I did state that I fe

This is poorly framed and trollish. I never said Linux sucks; I also conceded the fact that my choice in hardware was a poor one and surely contributed to my negative experience.

While the refinements of OS X and the Apple Mac hardware have been big sellers for me, it was ultimately, the combination of a beautiful and intuitive GUI coupled with an underlying Unix system. I know Windows has got Cygwin, it just "isn't

Here's my partial book list, if you look under "Favorites" you can use those as my suggestion :) http://books.google.com/books?uid=5646369799681106085

I run ERC in Emacs - background buffers - all day long.

I would use this to replace MySQL or PostgreSQL and I would use it over MongoDB or Cassandra because it is high-quality software, built on top of Erlang (highly concurrent and fault tolerant language, great foundation to start with), and im

This is correct advice. Warming the person by hugging them inside of a sleeping bag is the best way to help. Now, rubbing them or massaging them is not a good idea because it does circulate the cold blood back to the core.

The same, if not worse, can be said for PHP - where I came from. I've been a casual Python user for some time and a serious Python programmer for the last six months; the Python community is a godsend in comparison with that of PHP's. Gra

I'm noticing that the idiom for WSGI based frameworks, is to "layer" applications (middleware), a lot like an onion. Certain actions/functionality is only available within specific layers of that onion. I quickly found out you can't just ca

Typically I spend about 6 hours a day programming. Sometimes many hours more if what I'm doing is extremely absorbing. I have a no programming on the weekend rule and have a diverse number of hobbies that keep me occupied...

The problem with your question is that the answer is highly ambiguous. Asking how long it will take to implement those features is a bit off; instead, you should be asking "What needs to happen to implement these features and what would you

PHP works well as a DSL for web applications; I recently switched from PHP to Python + Pylons and am noticing significant differences in workflow. So significant that I can see, precisely, why PHP is so dominant. Python's features as a lang

Certainly funny, but a bit off-topic here.

It's boring because you are "coding" and not "programming". Coding is just pasting together libraries and pieces of code that have been written by someone else; there is little fun in that. Even the passionate and brilliant programmers out

I like to use the concept of course correction, here, rather than "hits or misses"/"success or failure". When I use the course correction concept instead, it drops all of the emotion loaded up into the thoughts of failure or success and it

I distinguish between the concepts easy and straight forward . I never ever ever say "that is easy" when talking to a non-technical person about feature xyz or a project; I always say "that is straight forward". I then proceed to lay o

It's too awesome in scale and depth to be adapted for a three hour film or "Sci-Fi Miniseries". I love the book, it is my all time favorite. What I would like to see, however, would be small focused shorts; that could go over well I think (

Upvoted for an excellent expansion on the OP's comment. I will second world travel; I backpacked through India for two months on my own (made a lot of friends though) on a budget. I've also been sent out on many survival trips, while not wo

patio11 has solid advice. I do B2B contract work (I don't interact with the end client) and have noticed, however, that many of the small web shops that need "help" have a hard time paying you anything good because they've already charged t

I realize that, but it would be false to call it a "language"; it's more appropriate to call it an "environment".

Not really a "language" but an implementation of the Scheme programming language.
