sorry for not being clear in my choice of words (english is not my native language). i didn't mean that jobs wasn't a real buddhist, but on the contrary, that he was a very serious and dedicated practitioner. I would have liked to know a bi

In retrospect, that biography is quite lacking on a lot of points. It seems like Isaacson was not able to get through to jobs in any other way than Jobs allowed. Maybe this is due to him rushing the book to be released 2 weeks after his dea

Obviously, I'll have the last call :) All the 5 options are things I am considering, and I was wondering if someone had been through the same thing. Cons for each approach: a) a lot of my ideas won't see the light of day although they could

actually the STL can be quite useful sometimes, it definitely allows you tight control over the memory layout. I don't want to go too far into something I don't know that much about (the STL, which I actually avoid due to more mundane issue

Arduino is C++. Plain and simple. Just like Processing is java. the arduino GUI just adds some lines in front of your code, and passes it over to avr-g++ along with some flags. It links the whole thing to what it calls "arduino cores" and o

you don't need to take yourself seriously enough, you just do it. haha, sounds so much like "just toughen up". I use this iphone app where I get 10 minutes exercise sequences, it also has this nice sideeffect of counting points and stuff li

i guess that's pretty hard. I live in germany, and they have this health insurance thing where you can get private insurance, which allows doctors to charge you more (crude picture here). But it also gives you a few advantages (for which yo

I agree he's pretty much a self-healing new-age self-promotion marketeer. the books he suggests are just populistic ramblings. also, reading up about psychological disorders on the internet is even worse than reading up on "normal" diseases

yes, mostly sleep disorder, the intense crash and burn of coffee compared to a more mellow effect of for example green tea, and the tummy problems. especially the crash/burn + sleep problems though, which lead to anxiety, which leads to eit

Nice ones :) The thing that annoys me about this hacker / painter stuff is that it really boils down to: do something with passion, and you will discover unknown depths, whatever the field may be. That's pretty much where every comparison s

I've started something similar 1.5 years ago, but with drawing, as painting is not really my thing (maybe it will). It is kind of my concept that to learn any skill/art/job/whatever, you have to want it really really hard, copy/copy/copy/co

we started with cl-prevalence and then of course (NIH-syndrome) implemented our own approach to this back in 2003, which you can find at http://bknr.net/ . We used it back then to run eboy.com, and it still is powering http://quickhoney

coming from a lisp background, and now working on a 'mid-sized' php CMS, i've been pretty happy with the reflection and other features (dunno if they are 5.3 or not) like closures to build something which has around methods, reflectioning o
