Really good write-up (I've built myself a syllabus coincidentally similar to what you've described, which gives me some peace of mind). However, I'm assuming hiteshtr was specifically asking about the (ZURB) Foundation framework and how it

Great choice. I was getting quite sick of listening to the same albums over and over until I found this and 'The Trip' Soma.fm channel.

Interesting concept. Being an English guy with an American wife I've discovered a large number of common words that are very different between the two languages (beyond the obvious like sneakers/trainers, jumper/sweater) - it would be great

Many thanks for the input, mate - I very much appreciate it. It's extremely helpful getting a more objective viewpoint on bootcamps, since the majority of information out there is from alumni and will always be positive. My degree was faiyl

That was fast! I can't access it on my mobile at the moment as I'm at work and for some reason right in a 3G blind spot, but on my PC it's looking very nice. Honestly not sure what you could change/add now as it's pretty much perfect for wh

I like this and could see myself using it, but think seconds are not really necessary - it makes it a little harder to read and I'm not exactly going to set my alarm for 06:21:57. Also, perhaps when pressing 'I know my bed time' the text ab

You sound like you have a fair amount of knowledge on the subject so I'd be massively appreciative if you could give me any advice... I'm planning to move from the UK to the States next year (American wife, so hopefully shouldn't be too muc

A QR code can store 2,953 bytes. If you were just encoding compressed vertex data it might be enough (depending on the complexity of the model - I haven't seen it myself).

Andrew Ng's course on Machine Learning ( https://www.coursera.org/course/ml ) has rave reviews whenever I see it mentioned. It just started again a few weeks ago and I had hoped to join this time, but other commitments made that impossible.

I joined reddit about 4-5 years ago and soon got sick of the same old posts, memes, jokes and comments over and over. Switching off the default subreddits and joining some smaller ones relevant to my interest turned it into an entirely diff

My personal favourite is http://wallbase.cc , but since that's already been mentioned, http://www.desktopography.net is also worth checking out.

while I was quite shocked by the witch-hunt and amount of 'suspicious until proven innocent' I saw in that subreddit, in fairness to reddit as a whole that is one small subreddit among thousands. Also, some of the highest upvoted threads an

Your product looks quite good, though I can't say I'm too keen on the name! If you're not already, I'd suggest aggressively reaching out to any educational establishment that might have an interest to solicit feedback and sell your product.

This is why he mentions that Karate Kid didn't work well, because one of the factors of a successful play-through was that your opponents health is decreasing, which is something that this AI doesn't look for. I don't believe that was the c

So I've only been playing around for a few minutes and have decided I actually quite like it for its simplicity. However, I have a bit of feedback: * I don't really like the tasks jumping to the bottom once I set them as complete * A strike

I agree. The real problem is when you find yourself interrupting other, more important tasks, just to check your emails. Clearing my inbox first thing then at set times throughout the day (e.g. in between Pomodoros, if you're into that) has

I took and just completed the edx CS50x course. I have a bit of a CS background but am quite rusty, and I was able to stay well ahead of the suggested schedule with only 2 hours a week. 1 hour a day/5-10 hours a week should give you more th

Apologies if this doesn't directly answer your question, but it sounds like the immediate problem is financial - are you able to quickly get a contract in an area relevant to your experience (project management, perhaps?) to tide you over w
