Well, this is certainly an argument for more simple languages (syntactically) like LISP, C, even Tcl, over C++ and Java. Because I don't think anyone really understands how the C++ compiler really works (it took a looooong time to get a C++

I guess now's a good time if you are looking to join a startup. Just hang outside the googleplex handing out resumes to the guys driving the nicest cars who are leaving the earliest.

People give journalists such a bad rap... but no one asks any other profession to write definitively about lots of different subjects, often with only 24 hours to do it. Given the constraints, journalists do a pretty good job most of the ti

Lots of hedge funds (the good ones at least) get out of this by requiring minimum investment periods. This prevents a focus of the LP's on short term gains/losses, but also prevents the run for the door.

Yes. But I bet a lot of the consternation around the LISP literati circles about PG's essays is because they like LISP the way it is: obscure. If LISP became popular, they wouldn't be as special anymore. It's like the punk rock syndrome -

Well, now you have something to say to all those haters (the ones that think you abandoned your families or whatever such nonsense).

Gyro, ever been in love? Do you even understand how a partnership works? What about co-founders? Do you just individually do whatever suits you, or do you discuss what's most important for the company and make decisions together? Same goes

If you really want to do it, all you should need to do is make sure she knows that you can't be happy without pursuing your dreams. Your spouse should want that for you, and should be on board, no matter what the sacrifice. It helps, thoug

Demographic data is what drives solid ad revenue. In this way, a niche site could actually generate better and more profitable advertising than one like Digg, which are less focused but have bigger numbers.

All the animation storyboard artists I work with use sharpies at first too, for the same reasons. It helps you focus on the story instead of design details, which are better resolved later in the process (when you know you aren't going to c

But right now, ebay is enough of a customer that google (even with all its growth and revenue) can't risk competing with them. That's something of a market inefficiency. But, I agree, it's one that may close quickly.
