Thanks for the advice, and I know personal networking is important but I don't really like to straight out ask people if they can hire me (though I did ask two professors I've never met). I am nearly certain most of the companies

I thought this applied to the humanities, arts, and social sciences too.

>Just search the word intern with a space after it. This isn't a solution because posts say "interns welcome" or stuff like that.

As an LA resident currently in NYC for college your claim of best bus system is humorous to me because when I'm in LA I rely on the buses heavily but they do slow down commutes and can be somewhat flaky. LA has the terrible public tran

What if there is an s or a period? Wildcard regexp doesn't work in the browser, unless you install add-ons.

I am looking for an internship but my blog has semi-ranty posts. I link to it in my resume, but could that hurt me?

Please if you are offering internships, write out intern in all caps or else searching the page becomes very difficult. These posts need to become standardized or else finding relevant posts takes three times as long, because posters will

Would the Erlang/Elixir platform be useful for small/hobbyist developers? Everything I've read on it makes it seem very domain-specific, considering its history in telecommunications.

As a native and lover of LA (currently in NYC), I've been enjoying all the press we've been getting recently. But as I skim this article, I'm confused. LA has massive urban sprawl. LA County is very, very vast in area, and ma

Great, the man also wants to destroy public funding of science. I understand that that is his opinion, but well fuck that. I want to be a scientist and need REUs. Science is more important than capitalism. Capitalism has failed the world. e

Mailman is very popular at my college for "listservs", so that's at least one usage. They at least have a future outside of tech/programming.

In any case, RMS is absolutely right about people not giving GNU enough credit in naming or in general.

I go to shows, buy vinyl when I can (albeit rarely), and download and stream for everything else. This is what most music junkies do these days, I guess.

This github naming convention (that I see often with Go code) of using the product target name as the project name is starting to annoy me. Also does anyone have any idea why Gopherjs would be better than Clojurescript, Typescript, Coffeesc

There are discussions regarding how old money types who went to elite colleges prior to the 1960s had a sense of social responsibility. They were more likely to participate in military or public service.

I meant more that Go and Java are statically typed and GC-based and are both *(while FOSS) are controlled by major software corps and grow quickly.

Isn't Go more like the new Java? Python is probably still going to grow and Ruby possibly as well, while Java is disliked fairly heavily in many communities.

Curious about something: with companies like Heroku we often see open-source alternatives being developed. Is that possible for something like Twilio and is it "FSF-compliant" to use their APIs? Not that that is a requirement for
