It's not a fascination, it's a defense mechanism that's been built up over time. Skateboarding has a strong culture, and various brands throughout the decades have tried to use skateboarding in their marketing without botheri

I had that class in HS. Or at least I had a general statistics class where the teacher emphasized interpreting results, common fallacies, etc. As one might expect, the students didn't pay attention to anything other than memorizing the

I would take some Electrical Engineering classes, maybe even minor in it. Given an abundance of time, I would also take some higher level math classes. Based on your interests a broader exposure to these fields, which are strongly related t

It doesn't even make sense. Their customers must cover a wide age range, so why use language directed at only their youngest customers? Not to mention any one who actually uses "fam" and "lit" is going to cringe at

Even on desktop. They have a modal pop up when I try to read page 2, requiring me to register. It doesn't even allow me to exit and disables the content behind the modal. Turning off javascript for the site worked, but sheesh.

Interesting that in the nsf data it shows that during the 2000-2004 time frame the number of CS grads rose and then peaked in 2004, while the number of CS women grads during the same time frame was flat, and then dropped in 2004.

I've used both, and cVim is superior to Vimium in every respect except for one: the scrolling. In cVim when I hold down 'j' to scroll down, it does an initial jerk, and then scrolls down. Doing the same in Vimium, it has a sm
