As someone who went through CUED, I confirm that there are an awful lot of my friends in investment banking/consulting, however I know of a fair few (myself included) who now do startup's. For example I do Mixcloud, and I have friends from

Does apple actively want native apps to out perform html5? Of course, but enough that would hinder the natural install points, seems a little crazy even for apple...... is this the same on the iPad and iPhone/iPod?

Certainly wasn't a simple hackercup. I participated in both rounds so far, the first one was a mess, I tripped off the 6 minute timer reviewing the questions on my iPad in the morning, without even downloading the input files! Maybe I shoul

This reduces the search space massively though as we now know you only use 0-f as characters, probably brings it closer to being brute forceable for the sites don't accept 40chars! And dont have rate limits.

If you are looking at writing gpu code checkout http://www.tidepowerd.com/ startup in this area, just released their first beta, a .net gpu library/compiler edit: gnu->gpu, for a harsh downvote, iPad auto correct :)

Looks like the Tidepowerd beta came out with perfect timing, must give this a spin http://www.tidepowerd.com/ compile .net code to gpu. P.s. Disclaimer, they are friends of mine, the beta is pretty epic!

Turns out our users really like vanity urls :) from an api perspective this makes sense except that it no longer mirrors the main site.

Potentially, we debated using internal id's. The issue then becomes we dont have a globally unique id currently, so would need to code/make one. We also fix the url's in our system when they are first set and they become immutable. XML, eas

Thanks, for checking it out. 1) Cheers 2) Yeah we know, its a tricky one. We use those urls on the main site, and can't really change those now. The point of the api is to allow any developer to take a url on the site and be able to just sw

Scaling, it provides cheap, quick sharding from Day 1. If your db is overloaded, just move some to a second machine. FB used a similar approach with mysql and isolated university databases in the early days, I believe.
