Just be rational and logical with your decisions; having similarity with someone personality-wise helps mostly because you will be more likely to keep in touch (not necessarily business) and keep discussions going. My collaborator and I wer

Nassim Taleb might have a word or two to say about this article.

I would say it's likely. There are all sorts (pun intended) of optimizations you can do for each algorithm, but at the textbook level, I could say they seemed typical as far as speed expectancy goes. My rough estimates for the times were (i

I thought this blog was going to elucidate on "fuck you, money" but it just reverted down to "fuck you money." The comma makes all the difference in the world. Really, disappointing.

Higher definition will just reveal the ugliness of ugly people more so. It's called "De-noise": drag slider in the pretty direction.

My two cents: make "seeks" into separate threads you can drop/save and continue at any time. Also the ability to sort and delete these hypothetical individual search nodes would be nice. Automatic forwarding to a previous thread of another

I call it being ruthlessly resourceful.

Thanks for the thoughts. The reason for its lack of sensational front page glamour and glitter is that there has been no reason for it so far (academic endeavors hardly do; we have only provided an RTFD link sadly). It's simply a resource e

I started a project to find me relevant resources while I'm in college. So far it has worked well among friends, even for it being a prototype. My project is a match engine, not a board, and you could say both have their weaknesses and adva

Why not make it an option (for the content producer)? A lot of filmmakers generate income from stock footage on the side as well. You guys could undercut the stock footage monopoly. Just a thought from a prospective client. Thanks.

Exactly. Honestly though, laws are the bandaids trying to patch up a poorly designed society. Nevertheless, the point was that technology can (and will) eliminate the need for bureaucracy. This kind of world is hard for most to imagine with

As a programmer I couldn't help but find the plot to be recursive and remarkably similar to the flow of logic in a program as well. It's quite an ode that even Castaneda himself would have been proud of.

For me, it's because most of the puzzle has been solved which just leaves grunt work. I hate grunt work. For web projects at least, it's like building bridges--you meet in the middle--and the other guys speak a different language. It's alwa

Thanks. I do a lot of inserts and updates, so yeah, I'm really feeling the burn right now.

There are plenty of opportunities in small towns with < 100, 000 people. These towns usually have one moderately funded community college at best. This means you have this perfect imbalance of skilled professionals and untapped small to
