Isn't this the British English version of code? I think I've seen it elsewhere in British press.

How about an Irish Corp? They have a low tax rate. 12.5% and tax treaties with a bunch of countries. This should allow you to get dividends or capital gains at a more favorable rate. Tons of high tech companies have set up their European operations hqs there, using it as their nexus for all Euro profits.

Can't beat the Aeropress for the price. Saving tons of money by stopping my daily Peet's runs.

yeah, it's kind of scary. Fundamentalism (of any kind) and technology are a harsh mixture.

Like the SFO and Oak quick ticketing. However, there's an added issue with buying a ticket to Oak - you need to pay an extra $3 to get an AirBart Ticket to the actual airport. It would be nice to account for this.

Just ordered a leap. I went into a showroom with a ergonomic pro and got the 30 min lesson on all it's features. With the right adjustments you should be able to code all day without issue.

While you are looking for more permanent housing, try http://www.couchsurfing.com/ . People offer up spare sleeping space for free. Should let you see where in the bay area you want to stay.

What if we rethought the design of the "rover" to make it smaller and the whole launch mass less? I don't think there's a requirement for a four or even three wheel rover. Instead, we could use a clear double inflatable ball with an instrument package and a motor inside. This allows for a < 10lb/5kg rover. We could pack dozens of these in several rockets to the moon. Redundancy would be in our favor. Kind of like moving from big-iron servers to farms.

This is my inspiration for the double inflatable ball: http://www.hammacher.com/publish/72182.asp

Oops, he's bad at math, I'm bad at skimming.

I think he's off here. Rather than 10 users being worth one whopper. I think it should be 10 connections are equal to one whopper. This would make FB worth a lot more than Kottke's $1.8 billion.

We use unfuddle, http://www.unfuddle.com . Kind of like Basecamp, but a bit more dev focused. Integrates well with Subversion.

The Western provinces have lower tax burdens than many states in the US. I compared a few income and family situations with my California income, and there's a 5-10% savings in taxes. Add in the free healthcare and the option to get a 15% rate on small business and British Columbia is looking really good. If only the weather was good.

I'm not sure how much value certificates have. I just see them as another revenue stream for Zend Corp. I think a quality portfolio (commercial, side-projects, open source) has much more value.

This reminds me of SCIgen: http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/ These guys entered their auto-generated research paper to a conference and actually got invited to present it at a seminar.

It's just as memorable as google was on it's first day. A little branding and constantly improving results could make it a player. But, only time will tell. I'm cheering for them.

totally agree with the article. I've stuck with APL for years. Can do anything I want efficiently.

BTW, building a web framework using APL. Anyone care to help?

My app for the Android Dev Challenge. Deadline's soon...

Thanks for this article. I downloaded the SDK for an app I'm creating only to notice that there's limited access to the camera. Hopefully this let's me complete my app.

kind of a joke, but good to know some background. thnx
