   A core Linux kernel hacker and an IBM employee was kicked out of his home, and made homeless while he worked on Linux. He was too sick to keep his job, so they let him go. He lived out of his car when I heard of him last, and last year so

   Reminds me of that scene from Men In Black when the alien kidnaps the female doctor and carries her back to the ship: "It's a long trip, I will need a snack".

    Factory work in electronics industry is not really a "catch"; most Chinese kids end up doing everything from sales to service industry to retail. If you're stocking shelves with jeans and tshirts, you're looking at 300RMB/week, entry-level

    $132RMB ~= 900RMB. It is, indeed, slave wage. The workers are charged for their meals from their salaries, though they buy a lunch card once a month. To put things in perspective: a two course meal in Shenzhen at a cheap Chinese restaurant

    I can confirm it's attempting to be a tiny CL subset. It has function namespace, symbols, simple numerics macros and backquote. But error detection is non-existent: (ASSOC) crashed it, since it didn't check for arguments even. It's at best,

    Agreed. This seems like something for a procrastinating theorist. For small one-man projects; eye-ball the market and confirm at least one buyer. Charge the first buyer 50% of development costs and shoulder the rest yourself (mostly in labo

    A badly designed front-end can negatively affect your backend code. For example, a radio button can lead to cleaner code, only one callback for the whole option-set and one dispatch per each option. However, changing the radio to a checkbox

    As someone who has written no more than 3 unit tests his entire professional life, I can tell you untested code is fraught with fear. For things that really matter, authentication, payment processing and service orchestration, I have resort

    Lisp is the perfect language for its ex-users and wannabes to wax poetic about. For the rest of us that do it for a living, it just has the least annoyance. I would happily jump ship the moment I get a dynamic, interactive language with C
