Do we really have to be so picky about certain use of words? The point is clear, and I think it make sense, that's why I love this piece of writing.

I tried a bit SublimeVideo, it seemed a bit slow in mainland China, not so sure about this, but clearly the SublimeVideo website takes ages to load here.
I finally gave it up.

I read a lot, but only on internet, blogs, tech docs, passionate ideas. It has been like this way for years, It seems that I do not have time for big books that worth reading slowly. I am not sure if this is healthy.
When I was younger, I read a little Confucius with a lot of time, that's very different life.

Being with money does make it easier to be evil, but for someone smart and determined enough, it can, maybe, bring more goodness to the world.
Let's "make it or die trying".

I really love this part, diving into the bigger world of building sth real and serve people directly, with the same passion and curiostiy for coding itself.

As to web dev, different people tend to use very different tools to build something looked exactly the same for end-users.
Very Often, it depends heavily on what language you use, java, php, ruby, python...? I love Ruby on Rails.

happypeter | 14 years ago | on: Git Vs SVN
git is obviously the right choice, and for me, svn is just for those who are not smart enough to use git.

I actually gave up my MS degree, and saved quit a bit time to learn sth useful.
3 years after that, I want to say, it was a nice decision. I do not need a degree anyway.

If I know steve, he is a buddist.
If one know buddism, he should not work for the world.
If steve really worked till his last moment, he tried his best to enjoy his own life, and his life is a nature harmony, a beautiful flower.
Being a flower is much more important than being great, and most of the time works better than being charitable.
