I followed the same flow for learning Spanish as you, and your site looks excellent. I too have a bunch of infinitives memorized via Anki, but would like to practice all forms of conjugation, and manually creating more flashcards is simply

I try these challenges often! As a corporate worker, I can usually fit self-directed routines into my life without much trouble. "Don't break the chain" psychology also works well on me. When I was a scrawny 25 year old, I

You may have a low risk profile and good health, but if you ever need medical care you'll be spending less money on it if you have insurance. Theoretically insurance companies operate by charging you a rate around (or slightly higher

Wrote an app[1] to help Windows tablet users operate push-to-talk apps (like Ventrilo, Mumble, or TeamSpeak) without external hardware. My first time playing with old Win32 GUI stuff, and my first blog entry! [1] http://blog.dant

I didn't know UNIX won't allow kernel exception handling. Source? Of course exceptions are suboptimal; bad performance compared to "goto" can have unintended side effects depending upon the OS (scheduling work may be tr

(C/OS developer spiel) I'm sick of these app developers assuming that using "goto" is bad practice. The fact is that "goto" is used plenty in great production code you're probably running right now.[1] I

You're right, FULL_NO_HZ isn't mentioned in the blog I linked. It's more similar to CONFIG_NO_HZ.

Ha ha, yes, how bad those schools must be. They are wholly dependent upon Germans to answer the tough questions, like what is the square of 25, and what's your best guess for the square root of 21. One only needs to remember a simple algor

Me neither. No restaurant can afford 2.75% per transaction going to Square versus the 1.64% which goes to Visa/Mastercard/Discover[1]. Fortunately for Starbucks, people are willing to pay much more for their cup of coffee than it costs th

I actually wonder if the brogrammer faces more discrimination than the female programmer. Who would want to hire a loud drunk frat boy to program for their Fortune 500 company?

When I first saw this was open source, I downloaded it immediately. Was pretty sure you were gonna take it to become a billionaire, so I wanted to have it as a reference for my own projects. Glad to see I can still get the updates. :)

The trick is to create a circle of people you want to follow, and then click that circle on the left side of the stream page to see only what they think. I submitted a request for a main stream editor but I doubt they'll implement it.

I would never hire a highschooler to do a real demanding coding job, and I would imagine that it's all a startup would have to offer. "A little bit of programming" is what a lot of your peers entering college have, and they're not jumping o

Agreed. The purpose of most communities is to grow. Certainly Digg and Reddit wanted growth; it's their business. Communities don't have to operate that way. Surely they can be designed for optimal quality; or as you said, modified so t
