As often as this gets recommended, I'd go with Introduction to Algorithms (CLRS)[1]. I'm currently in the process of going through it on my own as I'm taking a semester off, and I find it perfect to study from. It goes in dep

In some cases, a company could transcend its initial purpose, but still keep it around as a/the revenue stream as a means to the new end. Not many/any new and further out there Google initiatives have made it to wide scale public

As some one who's just interviewed with them for a "Forward Deployed SE, Government" internship position, I did ask what's up with the government in the title and what kind of work I'd do for them. They informed me

Maybe someone more knowledgeable about these things can answer this for me: when they say that this resulted in the loss of $370 million, is that number the entire mission cost or simply the actual rocket plus Cluster cost? I imagine the r&

I haven't looked yet, so sorry if it's mentioned, but is there any support for Amazon Glacier integration? If all I want is to make sure my photos are safe, and I'm not interested in really accessing a number of albums, can I select them an

I remember mentioning that I'm a Canadian student to whomever I spoke on the phone with from SpaceX, and they said no, but I don't know if they knew about this exemption, or if SpaceX is just generally very broad in this regard to make thin

I'll add another data point to this. While working for Thalmic Labs (of the MYO fame) last semester, one of the best purchases decision was to buy a 3D printer. We were able to find a big, cupboard size professional 3D printer for a great p

I really don't think it's up to them unfortunately. As a non-US student looking to apply for one of their internships, I was burned by that too. The regulation in question is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Traffic_in_Arms_R...

Oh don't worry about it. Kinda saw it coming as I had that problem before. And that's great! Been meaning to switch to the dev channel for a while now.

The problem i've had sometimes though is that whenever I try using some old software (which is mostly games as I was born in the 92), I often get stuck in making the game play nice with the current set up, regardless if I run it in compatib

Can't wait to try this out. Some of the course files on my university's website are in .docx format instead of .pdf and I always forget I've downloaded them before, so by the end of the semester I end up with 7 copies of the same file. As a

Here' my take on it, as another 20 year old. There are definitely people out there like those you describe: the ones who read their horoscopes, shop online and perform any other kind of digital interaction in the wrong place at the wrong ti

Have you been able to find anything that would do this, as this would be quite incredible to feel. You can measure magnetic fields with solenoids with wrapped wire, but this would be quite the impractical solution for a ring.

Not bad at all! I like having all the contact options in one application, and I find it quite useful since I don't have to deal with multiple apps/devices to accomplish a big task. Since I haven't played with it yet, what number does it cal

For Bufferbox, when the package is delivered to the box, they send you an email with an access code, and you have to enter the access code. As far as build quality and strength, they seem pretty solid, and I haven't heard of any abuse stori
