Yeah, this is something that I've been meaning to do. I'll be sure to hit you up if I ever have any business/marketing questions.

Thanks, I might be interested in moving to South Florida. I'd love to hear about those opportunities.

I'm trying to find a mentor. I need help finding potential candidates. I'm 19 and I'm really interested in doing systems-level work in either C or, more recently, I've been looking at Erlang. I'm just picking stuff up on my own. The thing i

The best way to deal with a downvote is to assume that it was an accident.

I'm personally holding onto my Core2Duo until a general-purpose processor with 32 cores is available to consumers. It's completely arbitrary, but 32 cores is for me, psychologically, the point where it feels like a crime not to design a pro

My variables are a little more verbose than the anemic style preferred by Rob Pike and used throughout K&R but, in that tradition, I also tend towards shorter, simpler variable names than something like minValueForTemperature, so maybe

It's not terrible. If Best Buy wants compensation for a service they provide, they should charge for it. It's that simple. Don't fool yourself into believing that Best Buy deserves success because they are useful. You don't owe Best Buy any

Writing an entire operating system without touching a low-level language is largely the stuff of fantasy. High-level languages are, after all, built on top of low-level languages.

To be fair, though, they would have an even bigger problem with it if it wasn't cutesy. They have a problem with it because they believe it's satanic, not because it's cutesy. Take your Harry Potter example. The people who are anti-Harry Po

I used to very much prefer BSD-style licenses on the grounds that freedom means you're free to create a proprietary derivative. I assumed that a company would rather contribute to a BSD'd project than a GPL'd project on these grounds. It re

I bought this book in beta and used the information to launch http://os-blog.com . Probably the best testimonial I can give is telling you about my own success thus far: It's been a little under a month and analytics has the site pegged at

Heh, yes, I can confirm this. The one time we met you said that you weren't sleeping well (since school had just started) and, as a result, were talking more than usual. Whenever I'm low on sleep, I'm mostly just irritable and more prone to

Something the site didn't answer, what high-level languages are suitable for writing highly-parallel network code? I need to write some code that does stuff like: given a couple million URLs, download each, extract an element, gather all ex

The media's political analysis absolutely is worthless. If that's all that keeps democracy functioning, we might as well flip coins.

The person caught lying most is probably the person who is the worst at allaying suspicion. PolitiFact's fatal flaw is that they only fact-check a subset of statements: those which sound suspicious. Further, it's important to distinguish ly

The number of webpages with HTML that's just plain wrong (and renders fine!) is staggering. I often wonder what the web would be like if web browsers threw an error upon encountering a syntax error rather than making a best effort to render

I downvoted you and also flagged your post. This kind of negativity is totally uncalled for.

If you still decide to go through with it, feel free to send me an email if you run into any difficulties and I'll try to help out.

You should add an about page. A meditation self-tracking tool sounds interesting (I've just started sitting zazen), but I'm going to need some details before I hand over my email.

Interesting, I'm going to check this book out now, thanks. Your comments regarding the community were dead on. The ad hominem and personal nature of so much, well, I hesitate to even call it criticism since it's really just thinly veiled ha
