The point is if you think that being a billionaire will make you happy, it won't. So focus on making enough money to be comfortable and work on figuring out what actually makes you happy. Money is so rewarding a drug it drowns out everythin

Time and space operate differently on the Internet. It's more p2p, like ripples expanding and rebroadcast. You act like there's an absolute reference point for all observers on the Internet and you have the privileged vantage point, which i

The problem is this assumes you are able to predict now what a later version of yourself will regret later, which isn't possible. Every decision creates a different you which will value different things. A path that he takes now because of

What length of comment is required for you to begin introspection? This does a good enough job: http://martin.drashkov.com/2009/11/why-perl-lost-it.html . I personally look to lack of advancement of the language and lack of adoption for ne

It's a joke pointing out how Perl has fallen behind in the marketplace. I've written as much Perl as your average bear, to see it lose out has been sad.

They hired many very good programmers. That's just crazy to say otherwise. But if you lead programmers into a dessert you can't blame the troops when you die of thirst.

Since cellphones are merely a convenient connection to a backbone network, would it make sense to develop and promote a wifi system with automated handoff between access points that can bypass cell protocols altogether? Being in the clutche

What could possibly go wrong? We've done so well engineering complex ecosystems that there's certainly no possibility of unintended consequences. For a great example of success take a look at rabbits in Australia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w

I took Chinese in college and the problem for me was the tones. If you don't grow up hearing them then they are very hard to pickup as an adult. The characters you an learn with effort. But the tone shifts just didn't register.
