This is definitely true. I remember walking in to a computer architecture course, felt prepared, and then the teacher said it was an open book final right before handing it out. He had a stack of books for those who hadn't brought theirs a

I had started a moderately successful company during dot com 1.0 when I was still in high school, my biggest issue was dealing with the downs, the rejection, the "no" from customers. One thing I found amazingly beneficial was to become a c

As someone who has developed in Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Node.js, and Ruby on Rails for web projects, I must say what sells me on RoR is the nature of the language and ActiveRecord. My god, ActiveRecord is AMAZING. Sometimes I just don't

This article kept going back to this being some secret agreement between Obama and NASA, kept a secret in case Romney won?! Uh, what, why? I understand administrations have different goals, but this felt almost like a campaign piece of "O

I guess I'd never really given it much thought, but I'm glad to hear others are motivated by insecurity, proving others wrong, etc. The first company I ever built was when I was 15, to this day I remember a conversation I had with my dad e

To expand on this a bit, Romney is more likely to take urban republicans in greater numbers over suburban republicans. This is similar to in the general Obama is expected to take urban voters over suburban voters. I suspect this "analysis

You're probably right, which as a Romney supporter makes me a bit sad. However, I think there's a good shot you see Romney win the popular vote by a .3% margin and still not pull down Ohio letting Obama win. I definitely can't see the mar

I'm familiar with the Greenspan quote, but in retrospect, they didn't destroy themselves. They'd seen the presidence of the savings and loan scandal and seem to have acted as if the government would be there to back stop them. In fact,

Well, RequireJS is pretty solid for client side package management. With solid config files you can build out large client side applications that grab dependencies asynchronously, and it DOES work with everything.

This is some great stuff. Even though it's old it doesn't really matter. The same concepts still apply, and the ways to practice that he brings up are invaluable. As a programmer I often wonder how to improve, or if the things I'm doing a

So, as I write Node.js and Socket.io based applications, lots of my code(on the server at least) focuses almost completely on protecting myself from bad data/malicious users. I know it works this way for almost any application, but how doe

It wasn't either, just a sarcastic way to point out that these types of takedowns hit Republicans regularly while Democrats skate by. It's also quite clear a lot of this exact same clip can be found on YouTube alone, just without Romney's

Odd, it seems the examples given of politicians being hit by take downs were Republican. It can't be that those in the Internet and Entertainment spaces are predominantly liberal and use that to silence their opponents can it? Nah...that'

This already is in widespread use, not sure how the professor expects this patent to hold up in any way. I had a 4 quarter French language requirement for my major for which I needed to purchase a $125 book, and then a $99 online fee to ha

Rather than the puzzles which are now discontinued, I recently did an online timed puzzle through interview street I believe. By solving the problem properly within 2 hours I received a series of phone interviews, and once I start my senio

I am considering my "study time" only that which is done outside of assigned projects. My algorithms class assigns homework and lab projects which I take seriously and approach with the idea that I don't want to have to look at this materi

The reality is work is quite easy at college if you have the maturity to handle your independence. I'm at a UC school double majoring in CS and Econ and I probably do less than an hour of studying to prepare for midterms and finals. I don't

What a ridiculous story. It is sad that two people died, but to imply that a cell phone company is somehow liable or should have been coerced by the government to have more cell phone towers is borderline insane.

Thanks for these statistics, I think the issue is pretty clearly "urban" as even the article points out. As other commenters have said it has more to do with poverty than race, it's just that blacks are generally heavily concentrated in po

It seems to me there's a giant elephant in the room that no one wants to speak about. There is something broken with our educational system, specifically related to blacks. If you look at the top 10 states, they are not racially diverse co

As a Junior who is going to be interning with undisclosed large internet company this summer, I think that much of the problem and reason for unpaid internships is that there are few jobs in the industry of choice for these interns. Bein

Maybe I'm one of the weird ones, but I absolutely love types and would probably write everything in JS if it had typing similar to Java or C++. As it is, I'm using Java on Jetty instead for my current web application but would love to see

I too have noticed huge issues particularly when using photoshop or final cut pro. I figured it was the applications, but if it's the OS that's definitely a much bigger issue. I regularly restart every 2-3 hours when using those two program

This whole idea that the wisdom of an older experienced programmer isn't somehow hugely useful mystifies me. I'm at the top of my CS class in the UC system and spending this summer interning at one of the biggest Intenet companies. I'm als

Being a programmer who has written memory managers in C++ as well as used garbage collected languages quite a bit like Java, I think the solution will just eventually be better VMs. Having watched the progression of Java from the 90s to now

Probably no surprise for those of us who have used AWS for personal and business reasons, but I think Amazon's biggest business will end up being their cloud services and not even their retail space in the years to come. It is just far too
