I can relate to this. The problem is I already know how to get my work done (efficiently) in Emacs and find any change of my everyday tools to be daunting. Any advices on how to experience "what modern IDEs are capable of out of the box" without major pain?
Perhaps surprisingly, it's kinda easier than for English because standard Mandarin is born separated clearly by characters and have only 4 tones (tone for certain character in sentence may change but always within those 4 tones). However as for speaking language in reality (e.g dialects), it's hard (I won't say it's harder than any other languages since I don't have any experience working on it).
For me I purchased the reserved instance( a micro one ) last october. I planned to use it as the host of my personal site (for some projects' demo) and weblog. As the post claims, the main concern before purchasing a reserved instance is it cannot scale. My personal site, which I believe will not gain so much view in all 3 years, benefits the most from the average low price.
for those suggests GithubPages to host one's blog, thank you for your information.
Gh-pages is a great option and I recommend it too if one just need a place to host a static blog.
However for me, I need a VPN server at the same time because yes, I live in China. That's why I chose AWS services.
Got you. My bad. I must say that is exactly why I devote myself into computer science: it's a world that you know what you gonna get when you do things right and more importantly people believe that is the right way to live. I'm living in US for about half year and will go back at the end of this month. One thing I'm 100% sure now is that I will come back here.
You are right. I'm just try some self-mockery in my poor English. I believe it's neither legal or moral and I constantly encourage my friends to say something as I do.
[NEW]I just ask my friends in China to visit the site and it turns out to be ok. Don't know how and when it recovered. Another funny story is python.org is blocked for a long time. Somebody say it is the version number 2.6.4; Somebody claim it's because GAE(could be set up as proxy); The other part believe it's because python.com...... We don't know which is the truth or neither of them.
If you think you are being screwed, take a look at how it is for China.

Yes, it's not available for China, and never has been
Obviously not Amazon's fault. We have absurd party here.
