For the same reason, if you're in the market for a used car you should check your nearest desert-area craigslist (e.g. http://palmsprings.craigslist.org/ ). I learned this valuable tip from a college roommate who grew up restoring old cars

I guess that depends on whether you define "high concurrency" as ~50 or more like ~5000. I'm guessing your "half-assed" comment is in reference to some of the sames things David Beazley mentioned in his PyCon talk, but it's worth linking to

Well threads certainly don't work well for high concurrency, which I read as your biggest impetus for a new runtime. I suppose if you mean true (multi-core) concurrency then you're right that Python has some big limitations, but that pretty

It seems like he could get most of what he wants without a new runtime. Diesel ( http://dieselweb.org ) provides async without callbacks or Deferreds. Diesel1 used Python 2.5's yield expression, and Diesel2 switched to using greenlets. As l

I remember attending a Startup School talk wherein Max Levchin explained that Slide wasn't a "pimp my MySpace" company, but rather a data mining company using MySpace widgets as the trojan horse. So, Nguyen isn't the first serial entreprene

You might want to re-read my comment. Nowhere did I say that marketing doesn't matter. Nowhere did I say that you should just build more stuff and not write a resume to market yourself. On the contrary, my comment began "To write an effecti

To write an effective resume you need to keep the audience in mind. The hiring manager will base about 95% of the decision on the answer to one question: What have you built? Answers to questions such as "What are your skills?", "What is yo

There are some things that a 426 square mile country can do that a 3,717,813 square mile country really can't. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_outlying_... ) I suppose we can hope for better coverage in the highest popu

There's a pretty explicit selection bias here. They compiled a list of people who "started with nothing". Among the set of all billionaires, I doubt you would see a very high incidence of being raised by a widow(er).

If you are ever asked an interview question which you've already answered in a previous interview, you should tell the interviewer immediately. I know some coworkers who will intentionally ask a question they know you were asked in a previo

Angel investing is kind of a fad right now. Everyone's doing it. My gut instinct is that it's at least a mini bubble. In 3-5 years a lot of angels are going to be unhappy about negative returns, the stock market is going to be looking stron

I don't think so. If I was to claim that more people will buy Macs than PCs, then you could say "the customers have spoken" and that I was wrong. But I never claimed that. Ballmer here is claiming that nobody wants the iPad form factor. Tha

To anyone sending emails (including posterous), I'd recommend going beyond A/B tests. You should know the optimal time to contact each user . For new users you can intentionally send emails at various times (and days of the week). Then you
