I can't speak definitively to numbers and can't judge success in any sort of quantitative way, so take that comment with a grain of salt. But I can say starting programming early in life is definitely a big leg up on others in the

It's really awesome you're making stuff online so early in your life. Keep going and you will be way more successful than most of us. If I may, I'd like to offer some constructive criticism, however. The tone of your posts is

What specific existential topics? I did find not TBP particularly deep. It felt like a Hollywood movie, but set in China.

I'm curious how much of this applies to non-American English writing as well. It is no secret the style in American English is to be causal and direct. But has this trend come to prominence in other parts of the Anglosohere?

I actually love this blog layout. Anyone know anything more about it? Or is this bespoke made by the author. As for the content, I enjoyed it. It is, however, highly personal and full of self-satire. I'd urge people to read it less as

Some people don't have that much ram? Ram is still expensive, especially when bundled with laptops.

They still sell computers with 4gb of ram, so it doesn't even have to be an old computer.

Yea, sorry I'm not super familiar with the project, but that is the general vibe I get about Perl. Interestingly enough 落(raku) also has the connotation of failure or missing the target, so not very auspicious in the context of a new l

So as a Japanese speaker, I don't think I ever would have made the 'raku' == 'rakuda' camel connection. Also, while 'raku' is the reading for 楽, which connotes easy, simple and other good things, it is als

It's a multiplicative effect. Spend a few hours setting it up just right for your own workflow, and it tightens up your productivity going forward. It may not be by 30-40% as some people claim, but even at 1% that's around 20 hour

Reminds me of phone charms and key chains (some Japanese key chains are fashionable and bulky extending from the pocket). Obviously, given there are pockets now they serve a slightly different purpose, but it's a similar niche. I wonde

I have not had those issues, and I'm actually using guake with KDE atm. You might be able to get yakuake working on non-kde. What DE are you using?
