I think there are some interesting lectures here http://www.datawrangling.com/hidden-video-courses-in-math-sc... and I occasionally find something insightful here http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/ but I'm in a similar position as you,

I sure hope he doesn't take that guy's class or any of that guy's friend's classes. He may find his work held up to a higher standard... I think the prof was pissed cause the solutions being posted meant he had to do more work. I am all abo

One important factor to consider is scalability. A lot of people like to launch with a relatively immature server that only supports a relatively small # of people in a beta with the idea that they will expand it after that # of people come

Dude, it sounds like you are really stressed out. Consider the situation you are in (eerily similar to my own, but I haven't left to work on my webapp yet) : lots of job hopping, obvious talent for CS, staring in frustration at being unable

No, I go to internet forums so I can suffer run of the mouth disease with impunity. I do proofread and edit my posts carefully to avoid making an undue ass out of myself, insofar as 1 minute of proofreading can do.

The thing worth noting about Java vs C++ is that C++ need be compiled to each arch and the open source IDEs are not as fun.

Java is pretty prevalent and has an awfully large set of nice libraries. Once you write some utility classes to deal with reflection and some of the other annoyances - including tweaking eclipse to speed workflow - it's a great language to

Wow, talk about missing the point... "A penny charge for every email would stop spam, and fill the empty public purse" Email is just a damn protocol, charge for it and people will use something else. Information is free, get used to it.

I second that notion. You can also get ritual coffee at the creamery right by caltrain.

Yes, he acknowledge the fact that he actually has no idea and then continues to talk authoritatively about how it is "unlikely" that there is a god. I find him to basically be an ass, I've seen vids and read articles. He talks quite often o

I understand agnostic... but I find his stuff to be very skewed against religion and spirituality, Dawkins is a well known, self professed atheist. I find spending so much time and effort on these particular topics just so strange... I don'

What is the rationality of vehemently holding a belief that you cannot prove? He's proving himself on a par with the zealots he likes to criticize. The whole point of religion goes down to faith : either everything is accident and life does

I think this is just part of human nature - checkout amazon ratings. I think an app either fulfills the intent of the user (yay!) or it doesn't (it sucks!). Maybe prompt them on uninstall to tell you why?

Long post is long. I don't see any big advantage to using C++ vs Java - performance is similar with recent optimizations and the vast majority of web services and libraries support java.

For me, it can really help when I am trying to solve a problem, not when I am trying to code it up. I still believe coding is only 10% typing code and I still find typing code tedious. I will drink during tedious work like building product.
