   Some of the videos in the link are cut short, and the full videos are much better. Here's a link to a playlist of the full lectures: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZSO_6-bSqHQmMKwWVvYw...

   FWIW I knew a systems architect/senior dev making ~$350k back in 2002. Those numbers are not as blown up as they seem.

    That class and Xilinx still haunt me. My team failed that project. Two of my three teammates couldn't grok Xilinx and gave up. That class catalyzed my decision to transfer out of Rose-Hulman.

    I long for the days when I sat in my studio apartment writing Perl scripts to categorize proteins based on knotting structure. Good times...

    This is an important distinction. Tobacco usage has gone down. Electronic cigarettes, however, are booming among former tobacco users. Americans are also opening up to marijuana legalization.

    There are a number of cognitive biases that would suggest this is a bad idea, Sam. I'll leave you to decide which ones are particularly egregious. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

    I bought an iPad mini 3, and the novelty wore off after about a month. I wish my iPad was capable of functioning as a laptop instead of a mobile television. The conclusion to buy a surface makes sense, and I will probably do the same.

    In 20XX, what will be a better indicator of entry-level qualification: a repository with 4 years of course work in it, or a college degree? Home schooling college is significantly cheaper. A bootstrapped education would be self-defined. Thi

    I too had a personal revelation with the same conclusion. Coming out of college last year I was 215 lb, up 65 lbs from my freshman year. I decided to cut all carbs and sugars from my diet now that I have a consistent work/life schedule
