I basically decided at some point that else clauses are unnecessary. I think it makes my code much more readable.

This is one of those ways in which being a rich kid is a huge advantage. I'm not sure if most young startup founders have rich parents, but it wouldn't be particularly surprising. Then again, maybe having rich parents makes it too easy to j

I always assumed the prep-school -> ivy connection was informal, much like the one between certain software companies and cs programs. For instance, Yale takes 10 kids from andover every year because they know all about how smart the 10

I liked it better when editor wars only involved emacs and vi.

I find it incredibly annoying that every conversation about virtual worlds focuses solely on Second Life.

Wow. That's an amazing project. I used to live in providence, I've been to this mall, and this has got to be the coolest thing that's ever been in it.

One of the beauties of the raytracing algorithm is its code compactness. One of the beauties of haskell is its code compactness....

Nick, why the sudden interest in raytracing? Just curious...

Since you choose colors in HSB, I'd assume that the math is done in that space as well. Empirically, the colors seem to make up tiny cubes in HSB space. If they were in RGB I don't think you'd see that kind of coherence.

It's a good way to help someone along who might have significant unvested options at a larger company. It might not match the "on the table" money, but might sweeten the deal a bit.

Wow. That wins for world's dorkiest tattoo. Dorkier than the golden ratio. Dorkier than e^{i\pi} \eq -1, and maybe dorkier than using latex notation in a web forum :)

I was a graphics geek in college... you could skip it, but you'd be skipping some really fun code. But OS... if you don't know that stuff you're basically worthless.

It was 1.5. The lab was .5 credit (a class a credit where I went). It was, as far as I know, the only class in the whole university where the lab was a separately credited part. Organic Chem - 1 credit. OS - 1.5

Operating Systems. And if you have a chance to TA, do it. You learn a lot more by teaching than you do by being taught.

Email is not going anywhere for a while. It might move around in the hierarchy of formality, but that's all.

I just watched the whole thing on youtube. He's amazing. A great speaker, a great teacher, and I've heard nothing but good things about him as a person. The moment near the end where he brings out a cake for his wife is incredible. We have

Emmy's is awesome. If you have more time/money, you should check out their other spot, The Front Porch, which is nearby. The cornbread is awesome.

It was better than the early web trend to have awful tiled background images and unreadable text colors over it. But now, thanks to the power of myspace, the trend is back and you can see what surfing "homepages" was like in 1996.

Was it that the backgrounds were gray, or that the default browser background was gray and no one set bg colors? I remember thinking the weirdest thing about IE when it came out (or was it another browser?) was that all the backgrounds were
