Thanks for the kind words. Going to school is a question I'm debating a lot and I have been trying to mine HN for wisdom. I'm planning on applying in the fall and also applying for some jobs at around the same time.

Good shout bringing up Georgia Tech. Their new online master's in Comp Sci seems to be really shaking things up. It seems like a major omission from this article, especially because it is a collaboration between Udacity and GT.

Avoid putting the barbell high on your shoulders or you risk back pain/injury. Put the bar on your traps and hold it place with your hands. This is what makes it a full-body exercise.

Guy Davenport is the writer who resonates with me the most. If I had to choose one work it would be "Wo es war, soll ich werden." Kenneth Goldsmith's work, probably epitomized in the book Day , is what challenged me the most

Perhaps this is obvious but if you aren't running your own server, your web app (and Hangfire along with it) can stop running during a period of inactivity. Obviously this is not a problem with Azure scheduler. I use Hangfire and then

Focus on traffic--not rankings. You or an employee should become super familiar with Google Analytics (or another package) and Google Webmaster Tools. You need to measure traffic and make sure your site is being crawled. This is also the be

That may be the case now, but I graduated from Penn in 2006, and it was different story then (until about 2008 I think, with Princeton being the first to break the trend). Before that, a portion of your financial aid would be a loan directl
