While I won't say this is bad advice, I also don't think it's the best way to truly free yourself in the manner I think the OP is getting at. In the long run you'll be far better off learning and cultivating rock solid CS fundamentals rat

There are corporate exceptions. For example, Google seems to be working on a few big problems, such as the self-driving car and Google Glass. I'm not entirely sure I would classify Google Glass as a "big problem." Self-driving cars can ad

I've heard good things so far. I know a couple groups using it and their impressions pretty much echo what you said. They felt a bit behind during project 1 while they tried to learn the new language, but are starting to feel more comfortab

Kesden is letting us use any language in 440 this semester, Go included. All of the handouts are still in Java, but we were told multiple times to use whatever we want. The only catch is if we want any help on the projects from him or the T

At CMU, 15-440/640 Distributed Systems is also in Go. One professor does it exclusively in Go and the other gives you the option of Go, C, C++, or Java. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dga/15-440/F12/

No. That's only one example, depending on how the website is setup, but they're not limited to that. A distributed system is one that requires coordination among multiple machines to execute a task or set of tasks. A few examples: - A websi

Most of the time, you don't need to supply types in Haskell, as the compiler is perfectly capable of figuring them out for itself. I love type inference, but I feel like using it in this way doesn't realize its full potential. My function

I think (?) the room on NS 2 you're thinking of is part of the Quality of Life Technology Center. <3 CMU and #proud. Can we all agree that the robot in the Gates 3 lounge area is somewhat creepy-looking though? His avatar looks like a c

I guess I'm a bit surprised some of them fell for this. That's a pretty typical/textbook/well-known attack vector. Given that they're a police department I'm surprised they didn't have some kind of training on that. Not necessarily even any

I'm downvoting you, not because of what you're saying, but primarily for your incendiary tone. Content-wise, your musings on religion seemingly fail to take into account the existence of other religions outside of Christianity (or at the ve

Similarly, I'll grant that the fight may appear asymmetrical at the higher level of organizations if one side is run by geeks and the other side is run by non-geeks. Nonetheless one should recognize that those hired by either side to be o

I agree with the author's central point, although I don't know if I would de-emphasize the importance of the visual designer to such an extent. I think a couple of the examples he links to (Google, Facebook) are outliers. They succeeded in
