There's a non-pdf version on Ritchie's homepage[1], but at the moment that's not responding. I just thought today was a good day to read or re-read this succinct description of UNIX from Ritchie and Thompson.

I'm not talking about a small village, but a small city: The cities where I grew up were 100k and 30k residents respectively, and very quiet.

It's true that it is more difficult to find like-minded friends and more intellectually stimulating activities there, but I think that that would only become a concern when you're over 13 or something, and there's a lot of time for that. Big libraries (which I missed back in the day) wouldn't be a problem today, and as for role models, that wouldn't be a problem in that kind of city I'm talking about.

Of course, there is no perfect choice, but in my opinion a small city would be the best compromise. Then, only time will tell...

What web based stack do I learn?
I am astounded with the latest developments and daily advancements in the web tech. I feel I want to contribute to it and enjoy the pleasure of 'creating' stuff that I can show to the world.
I have little Ruby and PERL knowledge and know what REST is and routes in ROR are. I feel ROR is getting phased out for javascript based developments after Twitter admitted the scaling problems.
I would like to position myself for the future too and that is why I am stating about the scaling issue. I am a RDBMS DBA and DB development supervisor where I work on tuning and managing development for projects.
I am looking forward to creating something and aligning myself for the future with the latest and proven tech. Please let me know where to start?

1. nosql? MongoDB? Redis? CouchDB? Cassandra? Please let me know which one is neat implementation that I could learn and be able to adapt to other NoSQL dbs on demand,

2. Language - Ruby ? Python? Perl? PHP? javascript (is it even one??)
3. Framework?? Do I need to learn framework to create stuff or can I get by with good knowledge of any new languages above in creating my own MVC or other architecture based apps?

Any interesting new tech that I can interest a mid-level DBA and Dev supervisor with a knack for tuning and optimizing db code?? AM just too bored......

Yes, you have been using R to do the stats, but please, take a look at the results, not a single significant parameter! This is a bit sad, because it looks like you are doing something great at Opani, but this post is not really showing it.
Thanks. The article makes more sense now.

For example, from the preface:

“I liken starting one’s computing career with Unix,
say as an undergraduate, to being born in East Africa.
It is intolerably hot, your body is covered with lice
and flies, you are malnourished and you suffer from
numerous curable diseases. But, as far as young East
Africans can tell, this is simply the natural condition
and they live within it. By the time they find out
differently, it is too late. They already think that the
writing of shell scripts is a natural act.”
— Ken Pier, Xerox PARC
Yes I agree with that. I used to develop Facebook games. I was making money but I lost interest because I felt I was wasting people's time. Since then I have decided to only work on "useful" applications.
Since there's no release announcement on http://release-blog.ubuntu.com or elsewhere, and the home page hasn't been updated, the release isn't officially out.

Release images are made available for the mirrors to sync a while before the actual release. Downloading them now will slow down the syncing, and people who download now will risk getting not-so-final and potentially broken images (it's happened in the past, can happen again). Which is why I'm flagging this for the time being.
Customising software can be lucratitive, but it is difficult to make it as profitable as reselling copies of the same bits over and over again.

The amounts these companies charge is obscene, plenty of companies spend several orders of magnitude more money on customisation and consultancy than they do on generic software licences and hardware.

And then you get the nice juicy recurring support contract on top of that too.

Also Apple sells hardware, which is not the same bits over and over again.

As for taxes, I'm Norwegian, live in the UK and looked into moving to California. At my income level taxes would end up within 2-3 percentage point of each other regardless of which of the three places I'd live.

Difference being I'd get far more services for my tax money in the UK or Norway.

There certainly are places in the US where you'd pay far less taxes than in almost all of Europe, but far from everywhere.

Honestly, this seems like one of those experiments which, in retrospect, provides obvious results. Exercise is a net positive for physical health. Why wouldn't forced exercise provide an additional cognitive/neurological health benefit in addition to the cardio/muscular benefits? I know this is a completely simplistic and unscientific opinion, but it seems to make sense.
Agree, lawyers protect them self not there clients with the credentialism. Its madness. Everybody can study up some basics and then really go into a field. It is rent-seeking.

I think Airbnb is an idea to which craigslist can easily add value. Basically people were on CL looking for a place to stay or listing their place for rent so it was easy for abnb to step in and show their use case. Unfortunately people aren't typically on CL advertising their dinner party or looking for one to attend. That's not to say that CL can’t be used to our advantage in some way, it just looks a little different.

We’re rapidly developing the product now and will be rolling it out to our signed up chefs first so they can get their accounts created before official launch.

Interesting. I am surprised that the skin cell from the patient -> stem cell -> liver cell -> was injected into mice and that the cells were still working after 6 wks. The article does not say whether these were immunodeficient mice. Nevertheless, the proof-of-concept is halfway there. I would caution that whatever happens in vitro (in a dish) is entirely different in vivo (in animals/humans). Induction of cancer by re-injected cells would certainly be a potential concern. However, the findings from this article do show enormous potential.
Mongoose - embeddable 40KB web server written in ANSI C
I think these stories show that, like all of us, any one line summary of who we are is going to be a gross over simplification.

He wasn't all bad, he wasn't all good, he was a human and like all of us he was a mix of things we're proud of, things we're ashamed of and things which are somewhere in between.

If he was a complete arse he'd never have held on to the talent he did at Apple and Pixar and never have held down a marriage. On the other hand there are too many stories about him being a dick to people to suggest that he certainly had that within him.

But I do think that within the few weeks of his death the respectful thing to do is to remember the better things and then over time we can let history work out the truth.
Fuck, those guys are trying to get Yegge fired?
"The researchers found that, including computer play, children in 1997 spent only about eleven hours per week at play."

I'm sure it depends on where you live. In my neighborhood, kids are out playing all the time. I don't know where the study participants lived, but given that the researcher was based out of Boston College, I wonder whether this is one of those East Coast - West Coast lifestyle differences.
Also worth remembering that Apple products were largely what they were because Steve had Apple build things Steve wanted to use.

"Don't make my eyes bleed" as a responsive website
Living in a Bug-Free World (image)
In Parkinson's disease equilibrium is usually very impaired, yet from this article apparently the subjects are still able to ride bicycles. I wonder how big of a confounder that is, or perhaps it's patients in very early stages of the disease, or relatively young. Having an elderly patient risk falling from a bike or a forced-effort threadmill machine doesn't seem to me like a reasonable risk to take. What other forms can this forced exercise take? Swimming, running on sand, these can be taxing but how do you incorporate the "forced" factor in?
Parkinson's is an auto-immune disease, so other approaches involve trying to minimize immune responses, via diet. Apparently ketogenic diets have also been used with varying degrees of success.
CouchDB can basically run a web site by itself - it's all HTTP, Javascript, and JSON. The wiki (http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/) is a good resource.

Mongo can be nicer to mess around with - it's fast and well documented and has good clients, but it's not very safe for production (unless you set it up correctly).

Redis is a data structure server - it's more for transient stuff than a database. Cassandra is good, but bloated.

Rails and Django are both nice. So's Flask and Tornado (both minimal Python frameworks).

Really, you don't need a perfect stack. You stack usually only gives you a linear boost, which can be gained by better hardware (up to a point). Most companies re-write bits of their stack, if they actually need to. It shouldn't be a real concern.

That's what contributory license agreements are for: any project that plans to follow such a route needs to get all their developers to sign one in order to get the rights.

In my experience this was some effort, but not overwhelmingly so, IMO. This would probably be more difficult for a larger project, but other projects have done similar things (e.g. VLC's planned relicensing of libVLC to LGPL).
Thanks for sharing. Makes me feel even luckier for failing to get an an offer after being flown in from the east coast in for an interview, around 3 years ago.

But it isn't over yet. ALL start-ups are MEANT to fail. What makes them work is you (and your support network: friends, family) powering through the depression and MASSIVE lows to showcase your potential in the form of a product that people love and use.

I'm probably one month behind you; the quitting job to start a new venture is straining my marriage, totally playing havoc with my confidence, affecting the relationship with my friends, siblings, parents.

BUT, I keep in mind what life working for others was like. It was safe, it paid the bills, maintained the home, BUT it gave me little sense of self-worth, no ability to realise my dreams and left me feeling like all I would ever be is a dreamer.

A lot of the advice already offered is good, specifically the "find a problem" meme, but I would also caution you that Lifestyle businesses are very different from startups, generally.

In my opinion (and I invite opposing views, because this is just me here) a lifestyle business should generally be started in an area you have solid experience in. It's very hard to relate to your customers if you don't understand their problem, and it's even harder to fix their problem if you don't understand what other challenges your solution may create.

Everyone I know with a lifestyle business is involved in something they've always done. FASO[1], which recently posted here[2], does very well in what basically amounts to a niche photo sharing business (no offense intended). As I understand it, Clint, the founder of that business, had significant experience in the area from having run an art gallery before then. To him, the solutions were probably very obvious -- To you, probably not so much.

Not saying it can't be done obviously, but in trying to pick a lifestyle business, the one closer to your core knowledge set is the way to go, otherwise you'll need to consider how much time it will take to understand your customers, understand the problem, understand why nobody else has already solved it, and if they've tried, understand where they've failed.

On a tangent, Amazon keeps pushing the Lean Startup book in my recommendations, but... I have a nagging doubt that it's not going to tell me much, and that it's going to be significantly less "hands on" than Rob Walling's book, which has tons of real things to do and try. I also get the impression that the lean startup book is there in part to sell you on hiring Eric to help your !startup get leaner. But I haven't read it... Comments?
