In case you are interested, here is my shameless plug. I am writing a series of posts about SICP in Python: http://pedrokroger.com/2010/09/sicp-in-python-1-1-the-elemen... Hopefully I'll have more time to continue with it this year.

I agree with you, but I still like people who can say just plainly "I don't know". This reminds me of PG's "How to Start a Startup" [1]: "When nerds are unbearable it's usually because they're trying too hard to seem smart. But the smarter

I'm just like that. I can sleep for 10 hours but I wake up feeling rested but lethargic. There seems to be a sweet spot where I'm rested enough (but not lethargic) and with a good energy level. The sweet spot seems to be between 7 and 7.5 h

"All of the Lightning Talks were delivered by non-professional speakers. They followed a murderously difficult format: you get 15 slides which get auto-advanced every thirty seconds, and that’s it. You might think that means you can get a

It's not hard for Brazilians to donate via PayPal or credit card. It's as easy as someone in the USA. I donated today (I probably clicked on the English page, though) via PayPal.
