I had a complete brain fart and thought they were talking about education co-op which is more like an internship (sadly I skimmed the article... poorly). I am surprised I wasn't downvoted (I deserve it) to oblivion for such a mistake.

I can't believe I made that mistake as I even know the difference. It was confusing and I thought it was the education one because they said: * Hire a Co-op * I have never seen a technology co-op. Sure I have seen grocery stores, farms

I can't figure out why Co-ops (particularly education institute backed) haven't really taken off in the US. For example my alma mater Georgia Tech used to offer a Co-op program but I believe they discontinued it. Northeastern here

I have to agree heavily and with your previous parent comment. Bad media, content, entertainment, recreational activities does not produce bad children. I'm not completely certain but I'm fairly positive having your child interact

Just some minor critiques. What is confusing to me is if the visualization actually running the code or is just static analysis of the code? The reason I ask is if its running then what you have built is a language with an absolutely awesom

Quake ran just fine on P133. I know because I owned one at the time. Even though that game hardly did any video card magic IIRC it still was one of the major bottle necks so probably not having a good video card was your problem (I had Numb

The liver storing ability to store glycogen is one of the reasons many fitness enthusiasts would avoid (or not) fructose. From what I have heard fructose often gets broken down in the liver and thus often gets stored there (I'm probabl

I didn't say they were not. The issue is they usually do not hold the data and present the data (ie WYSIWYG). The python and R only are the formulaic part. I have not seen a format where you can toggle the data or formula and see res
