It sure would, I just don't think there's any reason to mess with low level stuff like XMLHttpRequest objects. For javascript itself, this book is always good : http://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Definitive-Guide-David-Flan... If you haven'

I think one key is to have a solid understand of the fundamentals - I think programming is like martial arts that way. As usual, it doesn't have to be exact, just a useful abstraction. What is a computer program, anyway? A set of instructio

I want to echo the sentiments of others regarding the value of continuing to use those libraries. A lot of real world programming is about knowing when to use libraries and which libraries to use.

Apply to seed funding - This is a risk as a solo applier and approaching from a position of weakness makes you vulnerable.

by keefe 17y ago
Acquire a second founder and make a more traditional application, but financially the position is still week.

Contact traditional angel sources, like family and friends (if available)

Work in contract work for 6 months or 12 and generate the funding to dig the whole out and provide seed money for the launch.

Sorry if this duplicates, my machine glitched. I just wanted to comment that unless you are independently wealthy, money has to be a big concern - which means either doing something commercial or getting into academics. I would love to have

For Java, all of Apache's stuff is good - particularly Jakarta. http://jakarta.apache.org/ This covers a wide range of topics and is designed to have a public API. http://code.google.com/p/google-collections/ and http://code.google.com

Progress can only be measured in reference to a destination, which you don't discuss here. Is your goal to revolutionize some part of CS or some part of society or just to make enough to not have to work? As an aside, I followed the opposit

Human beings have a nearly infinite capacity for self deception. I am not a special, unique exception. I must be merciless in my self observation. The only way forward is to look at where I am and make a simple, realistic plan to take me to

Don't underestimate the effort required to write such a product. I use bugzilla as a server with Mylyn in eclipse and this is pretty great. Jira is probably going to be your biggest competition and they are pretty damn good.

I have read that meditation helps build a control circuit in the brain and I practice it regularly. I often listen to music or some well known old TV show, something that flows familiar impressions to block out external noise but does not c

To me, this says more about the importance of rigorous test writing methodology than the silliness of IQ tests. You're trying to get a particular signal, the fact that noise exists does not eliminate the need to read that signal. However, I

You can use a daily needs calculator, like the one on nutritiondata.com, and plan out the food that you eat every day. It's not going to be exact, but it's better than eating what you feel like, when you feel like it.

It's important to realize the body is a machine : you have particular protein, fiber and calorie requirements. Meet them. I take a protein shake every day and a large quantity of veggies and skimp on carbs. I make sure to keep in mind caffe

CTRL+O - My favorite eclipse command. Gives you autocomplete outline of the current class in a popup. These three are essential for my workflow. When I am spinning up on code, I tend to open a LOT of files (select all, open) and scan them,

I've been writing java for a bit over ten years myself and I love eclipse. You're sitting here writing code in this language that is known to be extremely verbose and you want to type it all by hand, refactor it all by hand, navigate it all

I don't believe that this should ever go to zero. I think the heart of this question is : how do you maximize long term productivity? For me, if I work more than 70-77 hours a week for an extended period, my productivity drops. I can flirt

So, do you think setting a smaller max size on your EBS instances would have avoided this by spreading the traffic, so if you were using 1TB using 10 100GB ones instead and federating queries across them?

I don't think that this was a replication issue based on this comment : >Booting a new instance, re-creating the volume from a >recent snapshot, doesn't help. The exact same problem >persists. Why? We don't know. Amazon's figuri

Oh, I wasn't suggesting pretending it's a file system - I had been thinking of a place to dump the data for backups, thinking fresh instances + fresh EBS would solve the problem. I think you answered this already in the other post - that yo

What do you think of the other post critcizing your architecture? I am doing my own arch work on EC2, so I am trying to understand exactly what caused this failure. Is this a problem with your instance being able to access any EBS? Why coul
