Wow, I find it really bold that WSJ has so openly dug into the demographic issue. I've previously only heard about it so openly discussed in conservative circles (eg http://foreignpolicy.com/2009/10/20/th

Might be too early to tell. But I look forward to this sort of thing being measurable in LinkedIn after sufficient time has passed much like how they did with universities not too long ago.

I'd also like to add to the conversation that these bootcamp individuals don't exist in a vacuum. They will gain a decent network and hopefully will be already tied into an existing network. I'm a developer who has a friend w

Yes, the transition points were so incredible, and downright hilarious. Especially one with an explosion within a TV screen transitioning into actual sets of explosions. Makes a lot of sense now.

I've been meditating a lot on these cultural heritages. The fact that a given religion/culture exists and can be criticized or accepted or anything inbetween takes for granted why this religion exists at all and has perhaps surviv

Aha, yes in the prototyping stage that sort of immediate feedback would prove useful to converge upon the modeling necessary to properly translate the brush stroke pressure from the tablet into accurate saturation on the canvas. My comment

But why can't the artist do their work in real time and get feedback digitally from the monitor and you then playback their strokes at a later time to do all the rendering/plotting. I can see how they may like to use the plotter m

Got a good following here, everyone's commenting on the less ambiguous aspect, which I'd like to throw out the term amphiboly. We're speaking of an amphiboly in these sentences, which makes me wonder after reading all the com

I had refactored a fella's script the other day that made extensive use of the precondition tucked wayyyyy at the bottom in a else clause. It wasn't the cleanest explanation I provided him about why its better to tuck precondition

Good one! Makes me think about those crazy reality shows where they're on the hunt for some sea beast/monster crazy thing. The scale of the lore of the objects they hunt would be so huge that you wouldn't be hearing about suc

I do a lot of amateur repair of various things around the house, washing machines, TV, etc. I remember being really struck by the commentary of this repair book I read:How to Diagnose and Fix Everything Electronic by Michael Geier. He has s

Well said! Good timing too, I'm beginning to sketch out how to tackle this large file set processing that has to stitch together data from corresponding files. The magnitude I'm imagining is such that I can't just read all th

Do you think it's not helping as much due to narrower and narrower specialization, that is it isn't helping as broad a community that it once did but helping many small communities scattered about?
