I recommend you stop transmapping languages; instead, learn each on it's own, mapping it only to your own mental meaning. Second that. I spent a year in Japan, and got to the point where I could have fairly comfortable conversations, eve

Keeping it simple. The two main principles: 1.) you can't out-run a bad diet; 2.) effort trumps everything else. Eat cleanly ("if it doesn't go off, don't eat it", etc). Exercise: a mix of weights and conditioning; I favour short, high-int

http://github.com/markhepburn/dotemacs Lots of cruft (roughly 10 years worth), although I did recently start to refactor. Most notable: it's fairly portable and relocatable, thanks to a snippet I cooked up (probably not original, but I ha

You are right of course, and I think I was mostly -- mostly -- over-reacting. I always thought they were entirely within their rights, just that they handled it in a rather unfortunate fashion. The main point I was trying to make was that

Google's official response is here: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/09/note-on-googl... I still don't think they've adequately covered it. The key to me is in the penultimate paragraph, where they first say "With a high

That was pretty much my thought; "how is this not going to be drowned in spam?" (they even have an API I think) Presumably they're fairly confident in their ability to filter spam and to automatically rank such comments fairly low, but I ca

Is it proprietary? I thought it was open-sourced, and submitted to the standards body? ("citation needed", I haven't checked this)

You joke, but... my work laptop (Dell D630) has some low-end intel video card, and it can't even drive dual monitors. The redraw when I switch between workspaces -- which I do a lot, especially when on the built-in screen -- is painful :(
