first, i'd congratualte you on acknowledging competition, as this means you aren't locked in your comfort zone. i probably don't have the best advice, but i'd think that try not 'run' after their features, instead, identify the things that

The ones called 'Doctors of the Church'; Aquinas, Augustine and Anselm. Those three hurt me, how I wish they had devoted their inquiries in anything other than Theo-philosophy.

strange you ask, but i guess just like most will admit here, productivity is at peak for me in the cold hours of the night. It's like darkness brings with it some aura of heightened awareness and gravitation to creative work - code at least

For me, a 'rockstar' programmer is a kind of hacker that I look up too (or other programmers look up to). It's just like how maniac teens (or just any 'metal-heads') patronize or look at some favorite rockstar as their icon / model (or some

Ideas are expensive, but unless you are very confident of their worth, and are able to milk value from them on your own, it's not worth keeping them locked up in a cellar. Personally, if I think i have a brilliant idea, that's when I actual

3 years back, the old TV that I owned slid from a table and cracked, that was the end of 'normal' TV for me. I soon got a TV card into my computer and have never looked back. Now all i have to often do is upgrade software and mess with the

In my opinion having a superiority complex is not a problem as long as you don't manifest it before your peers as this can turn into arrogance. If it so happens that you are the superior kind in your group, then try your best to add real va

I can't personally say i have a proven approach, but my success with multiple projects has been due to this sort of impromptu guide: Prioritize tasks based on a 'pressure' metric p, where p is roughly: p = interestingness * complexity_of_ta

what would happen is such a system was sabotaged by someone who decides to raise false alarms? doesn't it then mean that the best this can do is spread the word of something already occurred, like gjm11 said already? am not a seismology exp

node.js is another blessing to web-development like django was to me a while back - allowing me to hack interesting things in new ways, with smarter interfaces. but one bonus i notice about node.js is the ability to even do tcp stuff using
