   That's the Chinese culture. I live in Hong Kong, visit China from time to time and I see it everywhere. In the West, we politely pretend that we don't care about material wealth. The Chinese, on the other hand, spend lots of time

   Given that people are already willing to have 'sex' with all kinds of sex toys ... The interesting point will be when humanlike emotions start to appear in the robots.

   I learned Vim on qwerty, then switched to Dvorak and re-learned the positions and I'm pretty fast again. Using it with qwerty is like being on drugs, though.

   I've never heard about this effect, it sounds amazing. Do you have some more information about it?

   I was in Singapore and now I'm living in HK. Reading that SG has higher density than HK made was surprising, because here in HK there are so many needle-like apartment buildings, but I didn't see that so much in SG. I think the reason is th

   I went to the science museum (don't know what is it called exactly) in Barcelona and there they have demonstrations of many laws of physics, such as if you are spinning and extend your hands, you will slow down and vice versa. There were de

    I'm not that concerned. In my opinion, the people who will be able to get the best of both worlds (tech + the actual real world) will have a competitive advantage over those ADD addicts like the girl you described and eventually things will

    Hehe, I love this. I have been doing something similar, writing a compiler of Scheme-like language to x86 in Haskell. https://bitbucket.org/quiark/hsc The whole purpose of that mental gymnastics was to learn x86 assembly while practicing

    Ok, I understand that you don't use callbacks. But you forgot to mention what you use instead of them, in situations such as described in the article. Polling?

    There was also an article here about him. It's true that he is probably unstable, but on the other hand, the software he writes is quite impressive.

    I bought an electric guitar, like many metal fans do, but I don't play it very well. Yet it's great for relaxing relieving stress.. What I found very interesting was that my kung-fu teacher plays the guitar too, and very well.

    I find the landing page overcrowded and thus confusing. The two slides on the blue background change too rapidly and the download button is ill-placed and looks somewhat ugly. Viewed on a 1366x760 notebook display which may be responsible f

    We use a wiki and it's very useful. We have even moved the project documentation to it from SVN.

    But I think indie games are more visible, they even get some space on Steam (yay!), so maybe all is not lost.

    Any ideas what is this good for? I'm sure it's a nice intellectual exercise, but does it simplify something or make some cool tricks possible?

    I really like that he wants to learn something new. And I think it's also quite important that we, coders, try to learn something from the other camp too!

    I'm surprised than in this whole wall of critique, almost nobody has pointed out about the last 3 paragraphs. I don't think "They can go to hell" is a good enough advice. There are nerds out there who are struggling socially, may be even vi

    Exactly. Now I have to go through countless number of clicks (register, check email, click on the activation link, confirm activation, insert login details again) just to try the service.

    I've been meditating for about the same time according to the instructions at audiodharma. I'm not sure it was _that_ beneficial for me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Maybe I already acquired some of the world-views he describes. I'm a p
