'GOTO considered harmful' is practically biblical law amongst many programmers, but it's worth remembering that he made that statement in the context of an argument with Donald Knu…

Teach them. Whatever the subject, when you have to teach it to someone, your level of understanding increase. If you can find a public ready to listen to you, teach the subjects yo…

Do the redirect always the other way. People understand when the www appears that you have done something to help them.

I love the slide where plan9 is compared to Linux (37 syscalls, 148,787 lines of code). For me, the missing tools would be a good up to date browser (google chrome or firefox) and …

A datepicker seems missing.

Mayer seems to view Yahoo primarily as a place where you can find all sorts of stuff on one giant app. “Once the user’s in that app experience, the easiest thing to do is stay in t…

VirtualBox with a shared directory is also a way to have all the niceties of unix without installing MinGW or Cygwin.
