   Haven't done the math myself, but if you factor in years of salary earned while the doctor in training would be at school/residency/fellowship and the salary on that page is for folks who have been at it for a while and eithe

   How much overhead does this add and how difficult would it be to implement in another language like Python or even C? I imagine implementing it for an interpreted language would be much easier if you could save and recover states at any giv

   At my undergrad institution, we have a class that does a project very similar to this. I recently completed the class and project and have a bit of advice for anyone looking to take up this challenge on their own. First off, a small note: o

   Unless the satellites are in geosync, it's likely they are orbiting and could just randomly come across the correct area at that time. If not, I'm wondering why people like Skybox [1] didn't deploy resources immediately to st

   Probably counting \n as a character since Python is pretty good about never dealing with \0's.

   I don't have a ton of information to back it up, but I imagine they record a ton of data and it would require a pretty constant and huge data transmission from the airplane to get it all to the ground in near-real-time.

    Chad, interesting take! I can definitely see it being difficult to talk about failures on video - it's hard enough to deal with them, let alone write about them. I feel that the ease of editability (if that word exists?) of writing mak

    Thanks a ton, franl. What did you work on before to discuss things like this?

    Sorry about that! It uses Meteor, which is built on top of Node.JS, so it requires JS on both the front-end and the back-end. I felt it was appropriate since 99% of users have front-end JS enabled, and it was easier to launch a site without

    I totally agree with your thoughts here. Is there a better medium to share these experiences? I know there's a similar-ish subreddit [1] but I think there should be a better service for business-related things like startups, which is w

    Thanks habosa! I was considering doing that, but it looks like some HN folks have submitted a few articles already. Maybe it could take off?

    I really like this whole concept of using small projects like this and the spreadsheet thing to create simple, yet elegant apps. I wonder if this could be a good method for teaching technologies like CSS, JS, and HTML? If you think about it
