what really kills the speed is packet drop

a 1 gbps wireless will be slower than old pots service on heavy rainy day

127.0.0.1

and please get rid of retry button too, doesn't refreshing the page serve the same purpose?

start with typing 10 fingers and numbers (~ to +) and then taming the steep learning curve on vim (and/or emacs)

do it like 4 - 10 hrs each day ... come back a month later, if you find yourself still doing it then go for programming

you can make sql-like data management using programming languages (see practical common lisp ch 3); however, you can't use sql alone to accomplish what languages can

sql is very limiting ... to me, that's enough to justify not investing more time in sql

ftp? it has resume built in lest u got disco while uploading

i love this new feature ... might as well take the retry button since refreshing the pages accomplishes the same thing

like showing a case where having a cofounder gives zero or even negative progress?

there should be plenty

from your data, it seems that the denser the road is, the lower the GDP is

but of course, only 3 data points, past data don't ensure future and it's only correlation, not causation

i'm more into fp and using lisp so for my experience-based suggestion the dev technologies are all aligned (lisp, jquery, script-fu)

a less parallel could be erlang, jquery, python-fu where one needs to learn 3 distincts techs -> takes more time

for oop, it could be ruby, prototype, <insert ruby for photo>, and of course sql

i didn't put sql because i don't use it now since my data structure (linked list) is not easily mapped into tables shrug and i use a lot of regex on top of it ... but it would be sqlite if i have to use sql again

abundant open source options ... choose the smallest set

ordered by importance:

touch typing: 10 fingers + numbers

a decent editor: vim

html+css

jquery (i guess it's the lispiest framework)

server-side: lisp / scheme

unix command: piping, awk, grep, find, xargs (a 'mapping' equivalent)

gimp: script-fu (tiny-scheme) and imagemagick of course

os: openbsd (i find it easier -- altho more stern -- than linux)

bayesian spam filter

aren't noprocrast & override private data? blush

plentyoffish: top 10 site on 8 servers -- admined, designed, developed (in asp, no less) -- by one guy, and profitable

can yc/angel/vc backed startup be plentyoffish killer? i doubt money will help shrug

challenge

you live only once, do the scariest/craziest thing

couple years ago netbook was luxury

asus makes luxury into commodity

the price of netbooks should drop (esp over last 2 yrs) but didn't, suggesting there's a lot of demands

laptop's keyboard is pretty warm ... could save your cold, dead fingers

there should be a feedback element (or resistance of media)

btw, duck can't fly so u may want to cut that feature

i, for one, welcome our new li^H^H arc overlord

it's true, just look at the papers of less-hard disciplines nowadays ... more math ... more symbols, greek vars, less illustrations etc

if you can't convince, confuse them

i agree with the editor

by definition, uni will always lag and revert to mean -> the graduates will be slow and average (or not unique)

most of the stuffs i used every day wasn't taught in uni.

i'll use python/linux paradox for filtering new hires; huge bonus for lisp/bsd

uni only exposes you the materials it deems important (or corrupted by industry)

nothing prevents a passionate person to google, buy the book if necesary, and email the experts in fields

my friend (a prof) told me that publishers approach her with new textbooks (the 'new' stuff is really just the changing words, numbers and units on problem sets) ... she ends up using older editions so students can buy used

i remember that in almost all of my math courses (esp the graduate courses) i wasn't required to buy books (the prof wrote pdf notes and post in on his site)

i find that no-bullshit courses tend to less corrupt

probably because it's human nature to look for new things

those who blog every day naturally tend to have more followers

it used to be individual bloggers; however the trend is increasingly toward groups of bloggers

maybe the ultimate is site like reddit / hn (you can think the OP as a mini blog with a link)

i dunno why u got downvoted for just being different shrug

have u tried tor / torify instead of socks5 ssh tunnel?

i agree, gwb got his mba from hbs, that should say something about the degree ... errr ... the person
