Sweet. Now that we have professional athletes advocating that people learn how to code, it completely validates programmers everywhere ....

You get 10 points for describing my last managing editor. he was the most incompetent worker i've ever met. The news editor was second most.

So I got to speak with Bob Goodlatte a few times before. I generally considered him a generic shmuck, but this legislation is pretty impressive. Kudos, Bobby.

hm. i've never even heard of R .... it's a graphing library ?? Also, seems like that's a lot of dependencies for ggplot2. I'm wondering if this is really worth switching off of matplotlib. Sounds like all it's reall

i would love to apply to grad school to get a CS degree (or even get a second bachelor's). The problems are that my bachelor's is in journalism, and my cumulative GPA was only 2.9. And I've only had a year of professional pro

I liked Gates' quote about both of them getting stealing from their rich neighbor Xerox. To be fair, that's all Apple really ever did -- take existing ideas and refine the hell out of them.

heh. i just watched Pirates of Silicon Valley the other day. Such a good movie. Gave me a lot of perspective on both Microsoft and Apple. would suck to see Bill go. But I guess it will have to happen sooner or later. Idk how much he influen
