Your anecdotal Chinese mother is more extreme than my anecdotal Chinese mothers. Unfortunate.

As extreme as Chua is in the article? No. They are certainly strict especially when compared to the stereotypical "white" mother, but not like Chua. I have to admit, most (not all) of the Chinese moms I know are rather more liberal and open

>because (apparently) this style of parenting is common. It is not common. Every Chinese mother I know (that would be quite a few) found the Amy Chua article to be repulsive. Just like the American moms did, except that they knew people

I thought this looked intriguing but since I am on a Mac I cannot even download their informational pdf... they block even that attempt to find out more. Pretty stupid on their part as now I'm not only not interested, I'm annoyed.

Just to throw this out there and give an actual Chinese mom perspective on this... The two Chinese mothers I know well here in the U.S. (my wife and her cousin) both of whom were born and raised in China, both of whom have 2 children of abo

It's audio so I can't hear it. Anyone care to provide a brief, nutshell, summary?

For a solid text editor, Vim (MacVim if you prefer). For a solid IDE, Netbeans. I find it easier to use than Eclipse.

>it's Eclipse-like but fast It also costs $100 (though it is on sale right now) where Eclipse costs $0. Not an insignificant fact for many of us.

Since the "it's not free but..." angle has already been played I'll add to kqr2's question... Where are the best free places to migrate all of your Delicious bookmarks? ------EDIT--- OK, at a minimum you can go here: https://secure.delicio

I've never used github so this is my first foray into using it and it is down! Does that happen often with github? I've been unable to clone from it (or even connect to the website) for a few hours now.

Ask HN: Anyone use a project package service like Atlassian?

I'm fascinated by how precisely arranged the atoms are. Not surprised per se, I just think it is so neat to see the precise structure of something at such a minute level of detail. Now I want to see what it looks like even lower down the sc

He's optimistic but still calls it vaporware. That's more optimism than I can muster. Anyway, I've been using Vim more and more and it's working out pretty well. In fact, as seems to be the nature with Vim, the more I use it the better it w

The market must be pretty small for Mac native text editors (and they must be difficult to implement on a grand scale). Otherwise some company would have walked into the gaping void that has been the delay to release TextMate 2.0 and releas

This is a good point. I'm a 42 year old software french fry cook (rock star code ninja I am most definitely not) but I'm happy, make money and get to spend time with my family. The downside is that I don't exercise my IQ as much as I'd like

It bugs me that, as a man, I feel like I can't say this (though I think it). Thank you for doing it!

Yep. I went to read it expecting some insight (as I don't know Java) but was disappointed to see the article was so generic.

by gaoshan 16y ago
It definitely implies the former.

Given the limited set of things he goes over (with the exception of block indenting trouble) you could replace "Python" with "PHP" and still have the same article. Don't crucify me, just pointing that out.

My brother has "some university". Though now that he's 37 and working as a cook I think it's safe to say he dropped out.

Maybe the "Graduated High School" choice would be the closest for that.

This would suck! I'd have to send 1099's to so many office supply and computing supply companies it would be ridiculous. Then again, I could hire my 12 year old son to do the work and pay him a rate fat enough to drive my taxes down... hmmm

I find that such goals, for me, don't work. I make daily and weekly goals (sometimes monthly) as that is about as far out as I can realistically plan. Anything much longer and I'm just fooling myself (and it has taken me a couple of decades

So if you are reading this and wondering "Then where can I get a decent style guide?" perhaps try this one instead: http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/javascript...

Sounds interesting. Can you offer more details of your setup and tools?

I did check top and I can see that Netbeans and VirtualBox are the hogs. However, even after quitting them I still have sluggish responsiveness.

If left alone I will sleep 9 hours. That is sufficient. Much less than that (and frequently less is what I have to settle for) and I feel groggy.

He's right. I know I'm guilty of this. Just get something done and out the door... quit navel gazing and pre-optimizing. One of these days I'm going to take such advice to heart. One of these days.

I'm ashamed to admit that I completely misread that title. Rather badly in fact, lol.
