I get the suspicion that a lot of people tech startup circles, never had to worry about paying there own bills. At any stage of life.

It's not "reverse sexism", it's just sexism. Anti "bro culture" prejudges all women on not appreciating bro culture. I know plenty of women who enjoy things from "bro culture" such as beer, sports,

Maybe the key is that it just has so many more potential inputs? There are buttons all over the back of it and hundreds of points and gestures can be mapped to those pads. It is comforting that Valve makes Dota 2. They have an interest i

I hate console and touch games. They are simplistic and designed for people who don't like 'real' games. Yes, I am a PC gaming snob. Unfortunately, I work on a computer all day and it's very hard to find time to game o

If I have to penalized for smoking the occasional pipe of tobacco, then I want people to be penalized for buying groceries from Wal-Mart, eating GMOs, anything with high fructose corn syrup in it, and not taking the elevator instead of the

What kind of idiot would answer yes, to questions like "Do you use Tobacco?" or "Do you use marijuana?" when applying for health care?

The only test that matters for this controller is, can it be used to play StarCraft 2 competively? There is no gamepad out there that can play RTS well right now. This the problem that needs solved to bring PC gaming to the living room in

You shouldn't have one in the city. It will be about $150-$300 to park it. It's really not faster to get around SF in a car either. I usually just walk most places. It's really not that big of a place area wise. Parking i

Around Lake Merritt in Oakland is nice, particularly Adam's Point and Grand (Northern Shore). It's a little far from the BART but definitely walkable. It does get more ghetto the closer you get the BART stations though, at least

Live in the East bay and pay half the rent and BART into the city. You won't find a 2 BR in SF that has a dishwasher for under 3 or 4k a month that isn't in a sketchy neighborhood. Depending on where you live it will be faster t

Considering it doesn't even support multiple core processors, and processors are only coming out with more and more cores, I doubt it. This is assuming you are actually doing something that requires performance. Check out Elixir or G

@seiji Average programmers aren't working on shell scripts, client side code, and server side code at the same time.

I just want to meet one programmer who can work on server side code, client side code, etc who can't handle them being written in different languages. This fad just doesn't make any sense to me. Let's reinvent the wheel so w

That's a really a good point about the letters of recommendation. I think this is the route I will be going down. I had no idea how I was going to get the letters otherwise. Do you have to apply to take the prerequisites or do you ju

Would you recommend taking the math classes before starting the classes you pointed out? I only have had Calc 1 and discrete math before.

In order to get into an MS program would I need to do a BS in CS or just do the prerequisites I am missing. Off the top of my head I know that I am missing Calc 2, Calc 3, Linear Algebra, Algorithms, and Operating Systems. Does it matter

Taking notes has always been my weakest point as a student so that is something I will definitely have to focus on. I think it's sound advice though.

I have no illusions that I could possibly learn it all. I just want to learn enough so that I can go deeper on something more specific, such as virtual worlds, and no how to proceed.

The goal is simply acquire a much deeper understanding of computing that I feel I missed out on by not studying CS in college. I see myself as extremely employable doing app and web development for the immediate future. Under the hood eve

This is why I am considering the BS. I already had the college experience at Penn State. Meaning parties, friends, girls, football, etc. This time it would be purely about going to class and learning. I bet I wouldn't even have to

Thanks for this. I think this is very practical advice.

Thanks for the list. I was definitely the type of student that just read the book and didn't go lectures too often. I also love that quote.

I feel like I need to get the foundation that most people get in a BS before i can answer the question specifically. At this point I only know that I have a strong desire to know how computers work on a deep level.
