Photoshop "killer"? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Julia is a young language, so I'm not surprised about the lack of libraries. I am wondering about the future... is it, as a language, capable of these things?

by kendalk 13y ago
I understand that Julia is fast and designed for computation. Does it have other uses such as web, network building or games? If you aren't a scientist is there a reason to get excited about Julia?

In defense of the PHP devs here, I think calling PHP "server herpes" was sort of asking for it.

My guess is that Valve is being watched by every other game maker. I wonder what is being said behind closed doors in meetings with a lot of suits. If Valve is successful, I don't think they will be alone for long.

I have read that having a company daycare makes attaining insurance difficult. You are bringing on a large liability by having children on the property, and insurance rates will reflect that. The concept sounds nice but there are significan

I know the feeling. My management is also so inefficient it is maddening. But you can console yourself with the thought that at least you're paid. It isn't under your control what the higher-ups do so don't sweat it. Be the b

Agreed. I know of a forum that has barely changed its design since 1997-1999. It loads fast and has many members. The focus is on content over appearance. These javascript-heavy UIs feel heavy, almost syrupy, by comparison.

Come to think of it, train track sensors would be a pretty good idea for a startup. There could be an app that will message the phone if the user is in the area of an intersection where a train is approaching.

I don't know what safety measures are used, if any. It can take a train moving at 50 mph up to a mile to stop after the engineer pulls the emergency brake. If someone can see the train coming it can't stop before it hits. The nigh

For a man to risk his life -- and to lose his life -- for another, perhaps even a stranger, is something else. I once was caught in the path of an oncoming train. I was on a school bus when the driver attempted to cross the tracks before th

In addition to having a prize for a CS major and a non-CS major, you could have one that is specifically for a new beginner to programming. Some students have been hacking since they were in junior high but have a different major. I started

I have been wanting to set up a similar program at another university. With 300+ students you have something good going. Your idea of organizing trips to hackathons is marvelous. What language are you hoping to get them started on? Python?
