So you're saying that you think better when you're hungry? Makes sense. Right? Your body wants to survive so it allows the brain to function a little better so you can find some food. Kinda reminds me of something I used to hear BASE jump

You could try starting with "How to Design Programs" at http://htdp.org (or buy the dead tree version). That book has been very helpful for some people. The programming language environment used in HTDP can be downloaded from http://rac

I used to. Then in '99 I bought an old Volkswagen microbus. That old rolling pile of junk was the coolest thing on the road (when she was in fact, on the road). When I bought the VW I planned to restore her to showroom condition. Never ha

My best advice is to take a couple weeks and learn enough python to build a simple prototype. Come back when you have something (anything) to show for your efforts.

I'm pretty sure decades of mismanagement, the Mujahideen in Afghanistan and a broken oil pipeline caused the collapse of the USSR. Ronny Ray Gun just happened to be in office at the time. But becoming president of the US is huge! Only a fe

The question seems oddly charming to me because I might have asked the same question at the time. You see, I had had a rough go of it up to that point. A bad situation had led me to drop out of high school and to enter the Army. My dad ha

He said it's very possible. He did not say it is very likely. It is also very possible that you'll win a lottery. But having said that, my advice is not to worry about the future (or the lottery) -- things will work out to your satisfactio

If he has funding of $1,000,000 seems like he could afford to pay you an actual salary. Maybe somewhat less than market - but not way below market. Stock options are lottery tickets.

C'mon it's five bucks. That's less than the cost of the average meal at a fast food restaurant - and Xcode only has to be bought once (and we don't have to buy it at all).

I know what I'm about to say will probably not go over well, but somebody needs to say it: try a programming language that is FUN. Java is not fun. I'd rather walk a mile barefoot on broken, salty glass in a hailstorm than to ever write an
