Maybe something different happens in the "top" top CS programs , but I sure as hell did a lot of programming during my CS curriculum. Some was for classes meant to explicitly make you better programmers (software engineering), and some was

By about 900 shares. Joking aside, though, I don't think it's different at all in this context.

Shades of gray, my friend. Saying that suburbs are too high density to have a slower pace of life than a city is a massive generalization (and one I don't even understand as a generalization). I live in Manhattan and grew up in a suburb abo

Anyone else had problems running Windows 7 apps on Windows 8? I thought it was supposed to be almost completely backwards compatible?

You are fixing the wrong thing. Let's secure world peace first. See what I did there?

Hard to believe that in this day and age, a corporation still doesn't have the right to marry.

Ugh the word "lover" really creeps me out for some reason. It might be because of the Welshly Arms Hotel SNL sketch. Either way, I can't imagine referring to anyone as "my mom's lover." shiver

Maybe, but both questions are easily answered in my opinion.

Well you kind of implied new company when you mentioned passing the interview (yes, I know at the larger tech firms you can interview for other teams internally). Either way, I don't think changing jobs internally, starting a new project, e

You act as if "Get a job doing X" is a trivial step in the learning process. What if someone doesn't want to get a new job in order to practice X?

From my small amount of experience, I saw even less percentage of females in computer science. By the time I got to the upper level courses in Comp Sci at UMD, I usually had 1 female classmate. Sometimes 2, sometimes none. In my 3 years of

A more apt comparison would be if you didn't know about the iPhone now . This conversation between Zuckerberg and Andreessen didn't happen right when Netscape came out.

It isn't that nobody cares. It's that people see (however irrationally) car accidents as an unpreventable occurrence, while they see terrorism as something that can be stopped if we go and kill the bad guys that are doing it.

If they don't, you should patent said software and license it to them.

Coincidentally, I just finished a similar table using backbone. It isn't nearly as feature-rich, but it has sortable, movable, resizable columns, and a mechanism for adding filter fields. It was built for a specific purpose in an existing p

This is cool, and I kind of wish it was released a few months ago. I've been building something like this from scratch for a work project for a little while now. Did you guys look into using an actual <table>, or did you go with d

I cringe when I hear people say this. It works in speech to the extent that "irregardless" or "I could care less" are acceptable.

Did you really just set the IPO price as your baseline for wealth? I have news for you, the IPO wasn't 0, it was $104bil. Still quite a bit of wealth.

Sorry, I should've been more clear on that. I was figured disease might be the biggest killer, certainly more than war anyway. Whatever it may be, I'm pretty sure it's not war.

by jwoah12 14y ago
Agreed. I really wanted to agree with it because it has a nice sentiment, but when the author claims that war has historically been mankind's biggest killer, I completely gave up hope.

There's no way they could possibly consider that generation of iPods "computing devices."

by jwoah12 14y ago
There's no shame in being number 1 in the corporate world and number 4 or 5 in the consumer market. That statement is probably not as easy to swallow for a company that was worth $850bil (in today's dollar) just 13 years ago. Edit: clarif

Can you give a few of those examples? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I do have this (possibly unwarranted) feeling that most of the supposedly unconnected people succeeding in the startup world today at least have wealthy parents allowin

It's most definitely both of those things.
