The first bullet point reads "Learn all the important elementary to advanced rules and errors." How many of you had to re-read it at least once, or rescan mid-sentence, to understa…

Scripts let you do interesting analyses. Dialog, action (non-dialog), and directions all have their own syntax. I once wrote a tool that let you pick movies based on dialog complex…

Would this work if the author/artist were not as famous as Coelho or Louis C.K.?

It could be totally cool if you considered a "vintage" section, where you sell genuine one-off threads (think JavaSoft, DEC, Windows 3.11, ...)

Mission City cafe, 2221 The Alameda. It's in Santa Clara, just outside S.J. Nice vibe, lots of students, open late. The main library at 150 East San Fernando is awesome. Good coffe…

I think it is incorrect to assume an immigrant kid faces adversity. Most of the emigration to SV is from well-off families with well-adjusted kids and they settle in well-off areas…

The real story is in how they push untested code into production just to see what happens. ;)

Is there no weakness in depending on the same hand scan systems so many times? It appears a single point of failure.

Full frame sensors almost completely remove the need for tripods. The light sensitivity is so awesome you can shoot up to ISO 64K without too much grain. This means you can take aw…
