Humm ... Doesn't work for a huge number of things I entered: Have a lot of friends and family in Asia, and too many answers are "dunno, sorry".

Haha, in University, on a project with a friend, we ended up re-writing cpp (the C-compiler preprocessor) in Prolog. We got an A- and "I'm not sure why you'd do this … " on the pro…

The biggest lesson I've learned from various startups is that "all-in-it-together" is an awful lot like asking "How are you?" (The correct answer is "Fine!", even if your arm just …

Adylitica is hiring software development interns for iOS, web apps, WP7, or Android development. We do contract and boutique mobile app development. We're based in Beijing, and wil…

Easy bet. Unity already does.

"Popular" here is going to mean maybe 15% market share, if my memory serves correctly. Popular server languages remain Java, PHP, ASP.NET, and increasingly Ruby. In my mind, the re…

This. I find it is frequently accompanied by a non-trivial degree of condescension and complete and utter lack of understanding about how what they're trying to build would actuall…

This. This remains the most concise and to-the-point programming book I have -ever- read. It bothers me some that people (myself included) keep writing 900 page programming books w…

Let me be the first to jump in here and express a certain degree of uncertainty with what the author has written. While it does seem to be that, in Western societies, the societal …

I did a DVD training series for PHPTR and we used Snapz Pro X. Works really well, and supports a lot of crap that perfeshunnal video people seem to understand (I just did what I wa…

Am I the only one visualising the SimCity microwave power transmitter disaster scenario in his head now?

Wait .... wat?

"I'm looking for a rockstar coder who can solve all of my problems, do all the graphics design and layout, magically take my half-cooked idea work in a perfectly scalable and perfo…

Given the struggle that Google is having here in China, and all the hullabaloo surrounding his hire with Google in 2005, this is pretty big news, actually. Google is doing much bet…

Honestly, for me, it's critical to be working on something enjoyable. If I don't like it, then it doesn't matter if it's at home or in an office ... I'm going to drag and procastin…

Daring Fireball has taken a huge credibility hit in my eyes in the last couple of weeks. It's been approaching TechCrunch-style speculation and histrionics. Yes, he deserves points…

Gaaaa! And so soon after I just purchased a 3 year lease on my server. But even at the old rates, it's such a good deal, I'm really not that upset about it :)

I'm sorry, but nearly every single one of these statements is simply incorrect. 1. Chinese sites are all "[rip-offs] rip-off of existing sites and translate of interface and functi…

Look, we can get one thing clear here: "Communist China" is not some dark gulag where people are beaten while walking down the street for having vaguely pro-democracy thoughts or s…

Really, I'm the only only representing from Beijing?

gandi.net. they're not the cheapest, but they're extremely reliable, your data are protected by strict local privacy laws (company is french), and it just "works". never had a sing…

I've increasingly been viewing TechCrunch as the Bill O'Reilly show of the startup scene. The noise-to-signal ratio and tabloidesque sensationalism is too painful for my own person…

I'm sorry, but [scribd] == I will not click.

While there is a lot of good information in this article, the tone is a bit too tabloid-sensationalist for my tastes. "So while you are napping, eating or watching a movie on that …
