   >Billing $20/hr (that's what we get in Bangalore) Just one correction, it is not because you're in Bangalore, but because you're asking $20/hr. I suggest next time ask 4-5x more and see what happens... Also, you

   Interesting how many [realized] ideas we are unaware of... e.g I've never heard about skoshbox or Omegle.

   Huh, I billed my client for 181 hours today. Although, the payment is due on Monday and I delivered more than a prototype ;)

   Btw, always wanted to ask. I'm sure you've seen this as well. There are a bunch of sites full of generic text and links beneath them with long and ugly URLs. I suppose they get paid when you click on those links. What are these si

   >They want something can generate money and they can focus on hacking without worrying about money. Exactly. Also, working on a potential second passive income source is as well more enjoyable and easy when you have a first one :)

   I wander why SlickEdit is not as popular as Sublime Text? Is this due to price? Otherwise, SE is quite powerful and extensible as well.

    Honestly, I still think that 12MB for a system like Borland C is overkill.

    Many compiler courses concentrate too much on the lexing and parsing parts of the front-end. I find it quite daunting and boring. Alternative solution can be to start the course from AST.

    Well, it has its drawbacks, but if native controls are a requirement, what alternative cross-platform good enough frameworks do we have? Agree about your points, except you can Connect (dynamically) event handlers as in Qt's connect. F

    Thank you, seems very interesting. Usually, I only write pure C code when I really have to. Otherwise, I see no reason why someone should restrict "shimself" from using C++.

    OK, refusing a visa because of your last sentences makes sense - i.e. to prevent you from "stealing" blue collar jobs from US citizens. But in your first sentences, you describe quite self-sufficient/sustained person - who &q

    Interesting. So if you decide to immigrate with B1, you have to do so illegally, right? And in this case your only option is blue collar jobs. But someone with enough knowledge and skills who is able to get into some accelerator program obv
