Thanks. Unfortunately public transit is non-existent where I live. I'd love to spend my commute time working on the project rather than hoping that a distracted uninsured driver doesn't smash into me. I do enjoy thinking about the

Thanks. I don't even have kids yet. I'm still ~5 years from having little ones I'd imagine. Both of the people working with me on the project have kids, and I admire them (and you) tremendously for fitting everything in.

I'm working on a side project now that will eventually be an open source project. I think it could benefit a lot of people. My problem is that I have a full time job. When I come home at night I want to cook dinner, run, socialize, dri

Yep I plan to post this to my company's intranet social network. My understanding is that our company's policies prohibit contributing to the open source projects we use.

Memphis here. The cost of living here is basically impossible to beat. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the city of Memphis, but I wouldn't dissuade anyone from living here either. The 'burbs here are indistinguishable from

Interesting! I've always wondered how people managed to have families while traveling the world. I very much prefer to travel alone, because being stuck miles from home with an unhappy partner is a special kind of hell. It can also be

Has anyone used the KeY project in industry? I'd certainly prefer proofs over unit tests. However, I don't understand formal proof systems sufficiently well to know whether these they would work in terms of your typical "app&

Having watched MIT and Stanford lectures online, I was quite taken by the level of depth that is expected, so I understand your comment regarding that. That's the beauty of those online courses, I suppose. I now know exactly what is re

I went to a low, low ranked US state school for undergrad and moreover I graduated with a bad GPA (2.9). I'm now in industry doing a job that I enjoy, and I'm continuing to take classes at the local university. I would like to go

Fingerprint as part of 2 Factor Auth is nice. Instead of getting a text and copying it into a text box, I just swipe my finger. It's much more convenient and provides even better security.

My philosophy is this: Correlational nutritional studies should be trusted because they are the only and therefore best source of verifiable information on maintaining healthiness. They are, however, very noisy and each study in isolation s

I'm not sure how I feel about this article. On the one hand, it had a weird highbrow tone. It reads a bit like an ivory tower academic discovering what "the poors" are up to. Some choice quotes: "Albert suggested that sp
