while i would love to believe you because as mentioned, i am partial to windows, why is it that you seem to be very isolated in your view? the other responses seem to support the idea that Macs are better for software development. also, as

my shallow knowledge of machine learning tells me that the idea behind it is that initially it will suck at diagnosis and analysis, but over time the algorithm will learn and improve to a point where eventually it becomes actually good at i

thanks for the concise response. i'm curious though: as a layman in technical details but a fan of the tech world, i've always been under the impression that since windows was developed by a engineering-centric organization like M

one question: why is every single person in the YC Hacks photos using a variant of the macbook? i'm someone who is about to pursue a CS degree, and also embarking on an autodidactic journey in software development and i'm entirely

hey, i will definitely shoot you an email. i would be curious to find out more about the vancouver startup scene!

I'm moving to Vancouver, BC soon to found a startup, so it's good to hear this. But from comments here, i'm hearing a lot of comments pertaining to Toronto and Waterloo region, but not much about Vancouver or BC in general. W

one reasons i'm seriously considering UBC is because the degree i'm offered can be completed in only 20 months, and i've also heard the weather in vancouver can be very nice. but there is an overwhelmingly larger number of ar

hey, i would be keen to connect with you when i'm about ready to go to toronto. i'm leaning towards toronto at the moment, but i'm also reading many articles and forum posts about how vancouver is actually heating up in terms

hey i actually might be interested to take up your offer, and i obviously do not expect to be paid for this at all, and i hope this doesn't come across as overly demanding but i need to know a bit more about what exactly you're of

Hi, yes a few months ago i finished all the PHP and Python classes available but I think they have new ones now that I haven't completed (which I intend to). thanks for the link to boun.cr, it's a pretty cool site! i just used it

to be honest, i actually did think about what you said (before you said it) - i wanted to apply for internships or even full-time jobs at the local office in my country for LinkedIn, and offer to work for them for free in exchange for being

yes it kinda sounded pretty condescending, i wasn't sure if i misinterpreted what he said or if i sounded like English wasn't my native language.

erm.. what? i'm not sure what you're implying, but English is my first language...

hey can you tell me more about this? i'm definitely interested, but i don't know if i can catch up on time (although i'm willing to put in the effort to try!) to be able to contribute to your project.

thanks for the detailed post. i want to be where you are at now, being able to actually know how to deploy live apps, knowing how to setup all those stuff like nginx, redis servers, etc. i've heard of these terms before, but straight u

well, i guess i left out another detail which i didn't think was important since this thread isn't about that. it's a very long story so i'll just mention the important part but it WAS in fact a junior web developer posi

yes, i do believe that i'm not an absolute and complete beginner, but if there is a theoretical 100% expert on programming, i'd say i'm maybe a 5% at most. i've taken classes in college related to programming but not ACT

yes i feel that i do understand the most basic stuff, plus i've taken some programming-ish classes in college as well (such as VBA for Excel and another freshman class which also dabbled a little in basic programming principles). i&#x2

yes, the full-time web developer position was turned down because i felt inadequate for the job. i only got the offer because i listed myself as "lead developer" for a project on linkedin, when in fact i did very little actual dev

sorry i can't be of more help, but i'm curious as to why the fact that he "has travelled to Thailand" is relevant...

by what? that there are people who are stupid like that, or that enterprising individuals or companies would capitalize on their stupidity? i feel like both of those things are well documented in humanity by now...

as an amateur athlete, it's time you learn about sports supplements. if you had, you'll come to realize there are many meal replacement products that can easily satisfy your needs and that has been around for decades. EAS myoplex

just curious but are you saying you founded a startup at 46, of which the original idea was conceived when you were 28?

EAS Myoplex? There are a myriad of other Meal Replacement Powders on the market that has been around for decades, some of them designed to completely replace meals with specific ratios such as 40/40/20 (protein, carbs, fat) or mor

so you knew where an alternative source of the same post is, but chose to make that completely unnecessary post about how you don't read articles on LinkedIn, while pretending you haven't read it?

how do you define "professional programming experience"?

by gotrecruit 13y ago
i'm a little confused though. UofT is supposedly the #1 engineering school in canada, though it does not have the same startup reputation as Waterloo, but you're saying if Waterloo denied you, you still stand a good chance making
