A couple of points which stopped me from signing up: * Why do I have to sign up using my real name? I'm not sure I'd want that plastered all over a dating site. * As someone living in Canada, I don't have a valid ZIP code.

Thanks for posting that - I found it really inspiring. I'd just like to ask what it was that got you interested in the x264 project in the first place?

I look myself in the eye in a mirror, smile and say out loud: "Everything's going to be alright". I try do this at least once a day. It might sound stupid, but I find it gives me a bit of a lift every time I do it...

I was going to say that C++ does at least make the compiler implementor's job easy (as it shifts the burden of complexity onto the application programmer), but then I started to think about what's involved in actually parsing C++, and decid

Just out of interest, does anyone have one of these G1 phones? If so, would you recommend it?

Going back as far as 1604, King James I of England had the following to say about smoking: A custome lothsome to the eye, hatefull to the Nose, harmefull to the braine, dangerous to the Lungs, and in the blacke stinking fume thereof, neere

All it takes is a moment to hook up a profiler, and you will know FOR SURE where your performance problems are. Don't sit there thrashing away at shadows when you could be done and on to more important things. Diagnose, THEN fix; always in

I kind of agree - I find the particulars of class definitions to be quite unintuitive in Python, compared to other languages.

Human history has always been a struggle between those who want to limit the freedom of the individual and those who want to preserve it. I don't think either side has ever got the upper hand, and I doubt either side ever will.

I own both a MacBook and a Thinkpad, and use them pretty much interchangably. I think that they're both perfectly decent machines, and I like the aesthetics of both (albeit for different reasons). I'm starting to feel like the only person

But that doesn't mean it is impossible to write trivial harmful metaprograms in CPP, as is easily demonstrated in my counter-example die_die_stupid_c_compiler.c I'm slightly disappointed that gcc -E die_die_stupid_c_compiler.c didn

This seems to imply that in 5 years (or less) time, we can expect the music industry in its current form to collapse in on itself? Or am I reading too much into this? Otherwise it might not be too bad a time to start thinking about what Mus

For some reason, nesting closures like that seems very reminiscent of how you'd implement objects in Scheme. So I guess there's some truth to the rumour that Javascript is basically Scheme with C syntax. Either that, or I've drunk too much
