Most Indian languages also follow this pattern, however Marathi uses 'Aai' for mother

That used to be Japan | Korea | Taiwan...and look now

Gotta love online learning...no more waiting for information to be available in a text book and to enroll in classes to get educated.

Sounds a lot like a caste system

Agreed. Cscope is pretty damn fast & handy. I use it with the vim plugin when doing Android dev and it works well to quickly look-up definitions. What I find most impressive is how fast it builds the references. I can essentially build a cscope.out file for the entire Android project in under 4 minutes. The only thing I've had trouble with is getting the Java tags to work. Anybody else know how to set that up?

TJ as San Diegans call is not as safe as it used to be. But, there is more to Mexico than TJ.

My theory is that most people have been brainwashed to think that people who know everything (or at least appear to) are somehow superior to those who don't...poor suckers

Love that quote

Ghandi -> Gandhi

Nothing personal. Seems like a very common mistake, but I can't figure out why. I also see this mistake when people mention Sal Khan as Sal Kahn.

There really is fine line between dropping out to go "towards" something and dropping out to "get away"

Thank you for actually contributing with your actions. I see a lot of rhetoric on climate change but very few people actually willing to do something.

I yearn for the day when driver-less cars become the norm. But then, I'm sure the same people will find ways to jailbreak the software and enable reckless driving behavior :(

Well done Nathan. Hope you continue to do well. And thanks for sharing.

Well yes, cars are do have their advantages. No mode of transportation is perfect. Mooching off == carpooling == good :) If roads and cities were planned so that bicycling is easier then it will create incentives for more people to use pedal power. Easily accessible mass transit can solve the hauling capacity problem and long-distances problem. Honestly, if I could bicycle on roads (without having to worry about being run over by an SUV) and take the bike on a train/subway, I would do that 99% of the time. And, if I only need a car for the 1%, then I might as well rent one when I need it.

I'm all for this. China had it right in the first place. What's not to love about bicycles? Low carbon emissions (only CO2), good for the body, you actually get to experience your surroundings, less fatal accidents assuming more people are on bicycles,not noisy

I'm an avid walker and am always surprised when people casually drive somewhere they could have easily walked. I'm wondering how many people (especially people in the tech community) prefer to walk when possible. Or is it just an American cultural thing? (I live here now, but wasn't raised here).

That's a great write-up. Thanks!

His life story would make a very inspirational film. I see this old link from 2006 about an upcoming film, but can't find any stories about the finished film. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4811920.stm Was it cancelled perhaps?

I agree...eventually it's personal preference. Use whatever works for you. I gave up on vim multiple times before it finally started to make sense...now I use it on all my platforms and take my vimrc with me.

You need to run it once to initialize it. There is a way to set it up so it updates in real time as you change the files. However, I usually run it once for the entire repo after a major update. It takes less than 2 mins to build tags for a repository that is about 20gigs in size. It's fast and very efficient even if you use vim remotely over ssh. There are downsides of course and a bit of a learning curve, but once you get going, it's pretty effective.

vim cscope works like a charm http://cscope.sourceforge.net/cscope_vim_tutorial.html

You're ooking at it from a different point of view than the author. While there are privacy concerns in handing over such data to a 3rd party, there is some merit in being able to conveniently access data from multiple devices without the headaches of managing multiple instances of it.

I think given the choice, most consumers usually pick the later since convenience trumps privacy concerns...that is until privacy/ownership bites them in the behind...

Although, I would prefer to have that choice rather than being forced to go one way or the other...
