You make a good point, on second thought EC2 is a pretty good development environment as long as you aren't GUI dependent. I still don't think it is a good development environment for someone that finds a node.js install too complicated. Th

Are there really that many people that want to code a Node.js app but can't set up an quick ubuntu image using virtualbox? EC2 as a dev environment seems a bit backwards.

You can overcome the visual indicator (at least in zsh, not sure about bash): http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/547/make-my-zsh-prom... I'm a recent convert. I don't like using control sequences for anything but screen management.

Not to be too pedantic, but little omega is not the first uncountable ordinal (it is countable by definition), it is the first infinite one.

That's to match IEEE-754, x==x will return false if x is a NaN in just about every language I can think of.

Some things are improving: They've waived all app store distribution fees (see http://us.blackberry.com/developers/appworld/distribution.js... ). It is a "limited time offer" but RIM is dead if they ever reinstate those insane fees (those

I had an on-campus interview for an internship years ago that contrasts this a bit. It was about 30 minutes and there was no second interview. There were absolutely no technical questions. I was asked about whether I had experience with App

This article has very little content beyond a vague complaint about the keyword 'this' without actually showing of examples of the problem. It is not as if you have to look far javascript awkwardness - you just have to live with some small

In his own words: http://twitter.com/#!/ID_AA_Carmack/status/21119808432 I consider myself a decent programmer but I have more trouble reading template heavy C++ than I do haskell code. To me, restrained C++ means keeping the unreadable b

Welzl's algorithm for minimum enclosing disk does it for me. Pick a point, recursively see if it is in the disk without the point - if not, it is part of the definition the minimum enclosing disk (forced to be on the boundary). Randomized,

The info is publicly available, but they are linking it together in a machine readable way. It wouldn't take much to add one of your 'multitude of accounts' and then the information would become more specific (interest wise) and also direct

I'm surprised there is as much interest in this as there is. There is a company often recruiting/advertising around my campus that has been trying to get a Blackberry watch (not just a remote like this) off the ground for a good while now:

It is odd what the eye is drawn to in these situations. Fixed and thank you.

I can second this as a good way of learning. The Node.js site links to a very readable long polling chat app here: http://github.com/ry/node_chat . I learned the framework by modifying this into an IRC-style party game am now working on mo

This seems to be one of those situations where less popular is more interesting. Logging in and browsing the highlights for books I've read brought up a lot of very good passages (that I sadly barely remember).

It is all Canadian dollars, but they exchange rate is close to par and a six figure salary here is still still relatively large. It is interesting for students because we can see how much a particular professor is 'worth' to the university.

In Ontario we have some crazy law that forces all public sector salaries over $100,000 to be disclosed. For example, here is Waterloo's: http://uwaterloo.ca/documents/sal2008.php (incidentally with a pretty respected mathematics departmen
