   This is right on. It is so frustrating to see really excellent talent rot away in some intertech cube farm, but I see it a lot. Is it a midwest culture thing? I guess it opens up opportunities for people who aren't so risk averse though.

   The minneapolis tech market seems to underrated and overlooked. The salaries in the article are not uncommon, demand is high and the cost of living difference is huge. The big drawback being that the tech culture tends to be weighted in the

   Check this site out: http://www.my-cast.com/#California Pannable, Zoomable animated radar and satellite cloud map. I think it's the best site for monitoring severe weather.

   Is anybody else addicted to shell mode within emacs? I love having the shell as just another buffer right in the editor. Easy history searchability, copy and paste between code and various repls or SQL prompts, and all the other full editor

   Sure, reddit has (or had at one point) a json api to get all new comments as they stream in. Unedditreddit simply saved those comments. Later when the user indicates they are interested in a certain comment id, I can simply serve it up out

   That is really interesting to me considering reddits reaction to a service I created a while ago that allowed you to retrieve deleted or edited comments. http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/etd52/lets_have_... Apparently digital r

   I used appengine for my now defunct http://www.unedditreddit.com project, which sucked up all reddit comments for a few months. It was extremely easy to use and seemed to preform just fine, with the exception of those few weeks where the

   Is anybody who is interested in CUDA also interested in the idea of GPGPU computation in the browser using webGL? Here is a link to a proof of concept I did a while ago http://learningwebgl.com/blog/?p=1828 I think the concept is pretty c

    Could someone give a brief explanation on how this compares to R? When should you use one over the other?

    What about thousands of browsers using their GPUs? http://learningwebgl.com/blog/?p=1828 I keep bringing this up in these threads cause I hope it will get the interest of some real webGL pros who could really improve on it.

    This kind of ties into a proof of concept I worked on a while ago. An advantage of the native SETI-at-home clients is that they have access to the gpu. But theoretically so does javascript via WebGL so I took a stab at implementing matrix m

    >3. I can build and test an app idea for free. If it gets traction it's already to be scaled. I think this is huge reason to go with GAE. For instance I'm trying to launch a service to allow people to see deleted reddit comments (uneddi

    Here are two examples I've done. The first is matrix multiplication on the GPU. The second is a cellular automaton like simulation (the falling sand game popular a few years ago). Each incremental game state is calculated in a shader progra

    I have had a small amount of success implementing GPGPU programs using webGL. If you code your solution to webGL you are able to offload OS/driver stack concerns to the web browser implementers.

    I have been experimenting with GPU accelerating computations from Javascript using WebGL. It is pretty bleeding edge but I've succeeded in speeding up matrix multiply. Here is a link for anyone interested: http://learningwebgl.com/blog/?p=

    I can only guess about applications since this is pretty new, and only a proof of concept. I doubt anyone has had a chance to consider this for any production solution. However, I think the possibilities could be pretty compelling for any d
