I totally agree. A lot comes down to the individuals ability to adapt and remain relevant, regardless of age.

I got it. :-)

Are there any decent tiling window managers for OSX? A quick google doesn't seem to reveal anything as awesome as AwesomeWM (or its counterparts).

I'm pretty sure I'm leaving something out.

Spectacle - http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/41147/spectacle

Very basic and easy to get used to, fixed options for screen estate.

+1 for Spectacle, I only use like 3 simple configurations, and Spectacle is simple and free.

I've tried a couple of these but I always find I have too many special case layouts for them to be useful. What I really want is something with a grid like divvy where I can then adjust the size and position of a window on the grid using keys. The commands would be something like: add 1 to the top of the window(1 grid unit), move window to the left side of the screen(without resizing), move window up one grid line etc.

Thanks! I was hoping there weren't any good ones - it would have made my next hardware purchase decision easier. It might sound a bit ridiculous, but I really enjoy the workflow, automatic layout of windows and keyboard centricity offered by AwesomeWM.

Am I the only one that doesnt really mater overlapping windows ??

I have tried some of those though, and i like like Divvy even though i rarely use it.

At the age of 30, I still get a sense of excitement when I see Lego. I don't know of any engineers who never played with Lego as a kid (or even Meccano to a lesser degree)

Actually I remember hearing over the radio some statistics like over 70% of engineer and architect played lego being kids.

Oh you will be suprised!

I think that some people suffer from a fear of learning something new and pushing the boundaries of their knowledge out further.

I suspect it might be the local business entity, Google South Africa.

I'm also learning Clojure and have been playing with Incanter. Seems quite a decent statistical library/environment. I had a few issues with lazy evaluation with the dynamic charting functions, but I think that has more to do with my inexperience with Clojure than a problem with Incanter. Also, I'm not to sure how active the project is?

I'm giving Asana a long term evaluation - at least 3 months. So far I really like the following:

Its very keyboard friendly (I havent played with Trello long enough to assess how keyboard friendly it is)

I can create tasks in a project by emailing them in (lets you forward emails to Asana and turn them into tasks)

Was a bit disappointed - this is generally just good advice/best practice for any sort of programming task not just machine learning R&D.

It is however very good advice taken in the correct context.

what developing nation is that? (I ask because I also live in a "developing" nation which has some of the highest per capita broadband charges in the world)
