I tend to think of virtualization as a sandboxing method instead of a deployment method. I'd only use virtualization if the apps I'm running may compromise the security or stability of the host machine. Otherwise, most web frameworks have s

Interestingly, this is also the guy who came up with the name "Google": http://graphics.stanford.edu/~dk/google_name_origin.html

The <comments> element isn't recognized by Google Reader, so the link should go into the <description> element. Just a little time saver.

For a while, they called Scala the ocaml-killer. Because it is fully interoperable with Java, it enjoys a huge standard library, which is one of the main pitfalls when writing ocaml code. I'm not sure it ever really caught on, though. Scala

Linus basically says that C++ has "inefficient abstracted programming models". Looking at the STL, you only see some very basic abstractions: vectors, lists, hash tables, sets, and others. These are very well tested, and extremely optimized

That question surprised me, because the purpose of billion-dollar businesses can usually be summed up in a few words. Everybody has different uses for facebook, which is one of the reasons that it is so popular. To me, being able to see ho

You're just replacing the data storage. XML has a lot more features, like schema validation and querying.

Most of these are online communities, but not exactly social networks, at least in the facebook sense. Advogato is close, but it focuses on open source.

I'd be careful with pure research languages like ocaml. It has some advanced features (polymorphic variants, functors, camlp4, etc. ) that even smart people have a hard time understanding, because they are probably the subject of someone's

I don't think Microsoft had any part in convincing anyone that apps need heavy installation procedures. It evolved as a generic way to do some basic things: moving the executable to a place the user wants, and setting up some registry value

Trust me, they don't use the Lake Woebegon stratgey. In Lake Woebegon, "all the women are strong, and all the men are good-looking". I don't want to make any assumptions about the women, but any visit to Google will reveal the men are not v

Not to be insensitive to Justin, but his life isn't exciting in a way that attracts the masses to his video feed. Most of the time he's walking around his apartment, or sitting on his couch playing with his laptop. he just doesn't have the

Don't feel bad. Just think of the original guy who came up with the idea for facebook. Zuckerberg was PAID to work on his friend's version of facebook, and he simply went off and created his own.

What's the incentive to share ideas? The satisfaction of getting them off your chest to people who build businesses off them? I doubt very many people would do that. I would only ever consider submitting my ideas to two types of people: 1)

Up to this point most college-aged kids have followed a clearly defined path: do well in school, go to college, etc.. Paul has structured YC so it's an easy and well structured method of doing a startup, but it's definitely not the only way

It's sometimes difficult to fix performance issues in your app unless you know what's causing the slow-down in the interpreter, but that's usually a pain. Lisp is a constructive language, so a lot of time is spent doing memory allocation. I

The question should be: if you want speed, is it really worth using lisp? Maybe your time would be better spent writing a c module and then interfacing with the lisp interpreter. I'm no lisp hater, it's a great language that offers some ne

Robert Putnam is a brilliant political scientist, so there must be more to this concept than the article reveals. I believe the marginal increase of happiness by using this method is less than doing more fundamental things like exercising
