People often say that the important part of the work of doing something is starting it.

Starting something is easy, the hard thing is to end it.

The real success of something is ending the work what you have already started, making it complete.

If you give up by not completing what you do, there will be no result of your works.

Just complete what you have started. Make things minimum viable but done.

small dogs / big dogs: Business people: Good guys vs. Bad guys

smalldogsbigdogs:

“You definitely want to talk to him, he’s a really good guy.”

I hear this regularly when I get a reference to talk to someone. Today was one such reference. I had a conversation with a very accomplished businessman who I was told was a “good guy.” He was a successful trader here in Chicago, then…

jordan orelli: How to use interfaces in Go

jordanorelli:

Before I started programming Go, I was doing most of my work with Python. As a Python programmer, I found that learning to use interfaces in Go was extremely difficult. That is, the basics were easy, and I knew how to use the interfaces in the standard library, but it took some practice before I…

Konsep pasar yang indonesia banget

Dalam ilmu ekonomi mainstream, konsep pasar adalah setiap struktur yang memungkinkan pembeli dan penjual untuk menukar jenis barang, jasa dan informasi.
~ http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasar 

Mungkin di semua negara, definisi pasar adalah seperti yang saya kutipkan di atas dari wikipedia. Ada 3 entitas yang berperan di pasar, yaitu jasa/barang, penjual dan pembeli. Kalau ada yang lainnya itu cuman pengembangan dari ke-3 entitas tersebut.

Lalu apa yang berbeda antara negara satu dengan negara lainnya, yaitu penamaan pasar tersebut.

Di pasar Kotagede Yogyakarta, setiap hari pasaran “legi”, mulai pagi hari sudah dipadati dengan burung-burung yang akan diperjualbelikan, hari tersebut biasa disebut dengan Pasar Burung Legi. Kalau di rumah, istri saya sudah terbiasa ngecek kalender terlebih dahulu kalau mau ke pasar Kotagede, kalau hari itu hari pasaran “legi”, biasanya dia pergi pagi sekali (mruput) agar terhindar dari kemacetan atau pergi ke pasar modern.

Selain penamaan dengan hari pasaran/pancawara, ada juga pasar yang dinamakan dengan berdasarkan peristiwa, yaitu Pasar Dadakan, sesuai dengan namanya “dadakan” sifatnya tidak permanen, biasanya Pasar Dadakan ada karena peristiwa tertentu, seperti ada festival, layar tancep, menjelang idul fitri, bulan puasa (ramadhan), dll.

Ada lagi nggak yah? :)

jordan orelli: Why I went from Python to Go (and not node.js)

jordanorelli:

People often ask me why I have decided that I’d be writing the bulk of my new code in Go, which I started programming in November of 2011 while attending Hacker School. At that time, concurrency was a very hot topic in Hacker School, and we were all trying out different ways of writing…

Facebook, HTML5 dan iOS

Kemarin, seorang teman memberikan tautan menarik di ReadWriteWeb (RWW) berjudul How Facebook Mobile Was Designed to Write Once, Run Everywhere , diartikel tersebut dijelaskan bagaimana Facebook mengembangkan HTML5 sebagai satu sistem yang siap dipasang diberbagai platform dan kendala yang ditemukan ketika ingin diimplementasikan ke platform apps (iOS, Android, BB, dll), seperti belum ada fitur untuk mengakses address book dan bagaimana cara mengintegrasikannya dengan sistem notifikasi yang dimiliki oleh masing-masing platform di apps. Selain itu saya pribadi bisa mengetahui sedikit banyak mengenai teknologi yang digunakan oleh facebook.

Tadi malam, di twitter ada yang berbagi tautan di branch.com berisik diskusi tentang pengembangan aplikasi facebook di iOS yang kontradiksi dengan artikel di RWW, berikut tautannya http://branch.com/b/a-blow-to-html5

Sorry Robin, you’re not a Gunner. You don’t do what you did and sign for Man United and remain one of us. The Gunners are the guys who will play for us this season, and that’s where our focus has got to be. I won’t wish you well, I won’t say thanks for everything, you’re just a guy who played for us, scored some great goals, and then chucked it all back in our faces.

I guess we’ll see you on November 3rd. If you’re fit.
