I hope the YUI team can find a new home (and some other good teams like them) at least before that happens. Maybe google could buy the whole team ?

But it's not as simple in my view. Yes banks do lend out a portion but currently the reserve they have to keep have increased a lot in the last few years and the flow is not very well distributed (in my view) to through the whole economy. I

Well, Apple, to be fair, seems to be doing it's attack in the public. Microsoft on the other hand it trying to backstab Android. But I currently hate both companies for the bullshit they are pulling. What happened to building better stuff a

But do you believe everyone is capable of that kind of work? Even with great education some things require talent at a certain level. The higher level the job the more dependent it is on talent in my view.

The demise of PC games has been talked about at least since the PS one. I don't thinks it's going to happen for a while. The delivery mechanism on the PC side feel much better than on other platform (I'm completely bias, I even read PC Game

I was going to say the same thing, it also makes me avoid missing semicolons by making those errors feel like sores in my code. I can't let them mess things up they need to be gone before I can write another line.

I do think the article make a good point, CL is hard to outgrow. You can learn almost any type of programming out there in CL. Python doesn't have that level of flexibility as far as programming paradigms as CL in my opinion.

I'm on my second one too now. I loaned it a while back to someone and never got it back. In a way I feel good about that. Someone is now a better programmer because of that :) And they obviously liked it enough to keep it.

Little know trick (I don't use it) that O'reilly himself probably frowns upon but doesn't discourage is that if you regitster a physical book with the ISBN you can get the ebook for 5 bucks. You only need the ISBN for this. O'Reilly has sai

It sounds (literally) pretty cool ;p Goes fast. Comfort is a secondary thing. In fact you gotta pay extra usually for the slim down race models with even less comfort. Forget the AC/radio... in some of those high end race car models.
