A lot of the posts here focus on content. I would focus on process. Since you're new to the job your head WILL be spinning, so it's important for you to setup a way to work through the "newness". Bring a notebook and a t

The tragedy here is that the political climate of China will hamstring the usefulness of this achievement. Baidu's search results are inferior to those of Google's; it doesn't matter so much that Google's computing power

Most of the discussion here centers on how linguistic commitments ought to drive decision making in determining the Unicode spec. It's already been covered how Unicode provides a number to symbol (i.e. codepoint) mapping; composition,
