So, at 27 you're still a kid?
Guess the 30's are really the new 20's.

In Spanish is also a common expression (at least among some professionals)
juanpablo | 17 years ago | on: Old Japanese maps on Google Earth unveil prejudices
I agree. I was referring to the prejudices of some Japanese people, not Google's.
Now this issues are being discussed publicly. I think that's a good thing.

juanpablo | 17 years ago | on: Apollo Astronauts Didn't Need Heavy Boots
You are right. I also think the Apollo astronauts probably did use heavy boots for that reason. But you're missing the point of the article.

The article might be interesting but his "grand goal" not so much.

Trascending CSS

What works for me is to think that white space isn't "empty space" but instead "space filled with white".

It works for me (same Chrome version)

juanpablo | 17 years ago | on: GM and Segway create new vehicle
It's only feasible right now in a controlled environment (all the drivers are the same AI and no humans doing unexpected things). Otherwise is a hard and complex AI problem.

Make a lot of images, one for each screen change, and then 'test' the application with your friends as if it where really working. Show, don't tell.
Take their feedback and improve. Convince some friend programmer to join you and also learn to program yourselves

juanpablo | 17 years ago | on: Study: Old Age Begins at 27

I suspect that it is more related to dull/stressful work environments than age (at 22 you're either still in college or fresh out from it).
juanpablo | 17 years ago | on: See(), an alternative to Python's dir()
I use
import readline, rlcompleter; readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
(executed at PYTHONSTARTUP) for tab completion.
