It's just a Hackathon. It's meant to just build something for the sake of building it. I made something that lets you stage an internet argument through a Pokemon battle. I don't think I am a "smart kid wasted on a stupid webpage".

PennApps was awesome this year! I had never done a Hackathon before and now I want to do another one ASAP. I definitely saw some amazing hacks that didn't get prizes. Someone made a robotic bartender using Arduino that had an iPad app tha

And a consistent brewing process like nobody else in the world. And a taste that, while not satisfying to a heavy beer drinker, is palatable to almost everyone.

I'm not sure how long this has been the case, but this is how C is taught at my school (Penn) and I'm sure many others. In my CIS240 class (currently enrolled) we learn computers from the ground up and eventually learn C. First we do binar

$12,000,000 a month? Holy shit. I had no idea the ceiling was that high. I made a free to play Android game that took me 6 weeks and made about $10 total... I guess I need to give this another shot.

I love my TF300, especially with the dock. I'd like the extra screen res but since I only watch SD video and browse the web, 1200x800 is more than fine. Higher resolution would be useful with multitasking, but for full screen apps I'll ke

The Hartl tutorial is absolutely amazing. I still go back to it all the time. I was all Java before I picked up Rails and this book answered all of my questions.

Couldn't this just be done on Kickstarter currently? Just make the rewards different levels of inclusion on the adventure. Although I don't know if Kickstarter has a way to cap donations, you wouldn't want to have to bring 1000 people wit

Ah the HTML/CSS background explains a lot. Because most first-time coders could never make anything this nice looking. And it's very functional too, so I'm definitely not trying to bash your PHP skills.

How could the data not be lost? Especially when this equation involved an FM broadcast, a commodity FM receiver, and then a microphone to record the FM output to a cassette tape. Can someone with a better understanding of these things ex

Venmo hasn't been very successful thus far. They have a small to mid sized user base and they are currently operating at a loss (no fees on transactions that cost them money), so I think $26m is a pretty good number.

The best part about Stripe is, and has always been, their amazing understanding of developer needs and their top-notch customer service. No copy-cat can provide that at the same level as Stripe. Helping a website accept credit cards is o

I do want to keep the trial short, however this is a user-facing product for small businesses and I want to allow for some time for the customers to become familiar with my service before the business makes a decision on buying it.

Hi Tony. I just demoed the app and it's awesome, it basically identified all of my friends into perfect groups, with only a little confusion. Obvious groups like "people I met when I spent a summer at Brown" were 100% accurate and blew me

So wrong. When will we have comprehensive reform on software-related patent law? In this age everything is powered by a computer of some sort, and it's very important to the intellectual future of the nation that we secure the right for i
