Bankq··on Logo Programming
I'm forever grateful for having the access to Logo programming in early 90s, as a kid from a 3rd world country, for how it leads to where I am today.

My first ever english word that I can spell out is REPEAT.

Bankq··on Reverse math shows why hard problems are hard
The approach reminds me of NP-Completeness (Computational harness vs mathematical-proving hardness). Am I over-simplifying?
Bankq··on Apple's Board Says Tim Cook Has to Fly Private from Now On (2017)
> All told, Cook made $12,825,066 at Apple in 2017 -- including a $16,200 contribution to his 401(k) retirement account from the company.

$16k 401(k)really? Is that from a legal requirement?

Bankq··on Frontmacs
I can relate to this. The problem is I already know how to get my work done (efficiently) in Emacs and find any change of my everyday tools to be daunting. Any advices on how to experience "what modern IDEs are capable of out of the box" without major pain?
Bankq··on LWJGL – Lightweight Java Game Library
I used this for a course project 5 years ago back in college. Had a fun run with it. Glad to see it's still under development and got a new homepage.
Bankq··on Show HN: My first product. Thoughts?
Perhaps surprisingly, it's kinda easier than for English because standard Mandarin is born separated clearly by characters and have only 4 tones (tone for certain character in sentence may change but always within those 4 tones). However as for speaking language in reality (e.g dialects), it's hard (I won't say it's harder than any other languages since I don't have any experience working on it).

Quick correction: the Chinese translation of supporting iCloud should be 即将支持iCloud, but not 即将支援iCloud
Bankq··on AWS Reserved Instances and Purchasing Strategy
For me I purchased the reserved instance( a micro one ) last october. I planned to use it as the host of my personal site (for some projects' demo) and weblog. As the post claims, the main concern before purchasing a reserved instance is it cannot scale. My personal site, which I believe will not gain so much view in all 3 years, benefits the most from the average low price.

for those suggests GithubPages to host one's blog, thank you for your information. Gh-pages is a great option and I recommend it too if one just need a place to host a static blog. However for me, I need a VPN server at the same time because yes, I live in China. That's why I chose AWS services.

Bankq··on Hacker News clone for Python
Oh stop being silly and pretend that you know something about China
Bankq··on Node.js 0.6.4 was blocked in China
Got you. My bad. I must say that is exactly why I devote myself into computer science: it's a world that you know what you gonna get when you do things right and more importantly people believe that is the right way to live. I'm living in US for about half year and will go back at the end of this month. One thing I'm 100% sure now is that I will come back here.
Bankq··on Node.js 0.6.4 was blocked in China
You are right. I'm just try some self-mockery in my poor English. I believe it's neither legal or moral and I constantly encourage my friends to say something as I do.
Bankq··on Node.js 0.6.4 was blocked in China
[NEW]I just ask my friends in China to visit the site and it turns out to be ok. Don't know how and when it recovered. Another funny story is python.org is blocked for a long time. Somebody say it is the version number 2.6.4; Somebody claim it's because GAE(could be set up as proxy); The other part believe it's because python.com...... We don't know which is the truth or neither of them.
Bankq··on Node.js 0.6.4 was blocked in China
As a Chinese programmer: Please stop talking about it on HN. Save HN for us.............

EDIT:as being misunderstood I claim that I hate GFW as much as I love freedom and decent programs.

Bankq··on [dead]
Still don't get it. Why should I wait in a 11k people line to get my things done........
Bankq··on A response to Node.js is cancer - The Diagnosis
