I remember the days when I was on the collegiate crew team and I worked out twice a day for 3 hours. At the end of the season I gained 20 lbs (probably of muscle) but I remember distinctly eating about 5 times a day compared to my normal 2

So how are you planning to keep the site afloat? If this is something you really believe in and want people to use, you're going to have to come up with a plan to pay for the costs.

I applaud you for taking on such a great cause. I have written quite a bit about academic integrity issues, and I believe more people need to be thinking about it for something to be done. With that being said, you're assuming people are c

Honestly, there are more important things to life than to be posting random diatribes on a somewhat professional blog. I'm not sure why I read that story (or even the background stories he referenced--hey, its saturday), but after getting

Right. Everyone has different learning styles. The problem with learning just basic theory is that you get caught up in minute details. That's why I always recommend people to start with a focused problem, then in the process of trying to

I agree, but at the same time, you only learn by doing. In my experience, even when you dive in way over your head, you tend to pick up the information rather quickly. I took a machine learning class with no statistics background and afte

The key is to come up with a well-formulated question, such as "I wonder if I can predict stock trends." Then in doing so, you'll search the web and come across predictive modeling, which will lead to machine learning techniques, which wil

I agree. The default first year for many students requires 3 core courses, not to mention prep time for a qualifying exam or two. I've increasingly noticed that I can only handle 3 activities in grad school: 3 classes and no research, 1

Kinda off-topic, but I'm surprised sex wasn't included.

Hey, I'm your stereotypical thin and tall, nerdy hacker. However, when my bi-monthly stipend allows me, I will indulge a whiskey on the rocks and build my tolerance :)

I live in Gainesville, Fl which is pretty much the cheapest place to live and drink, and $20 is still the norm. $4 cover + 3 beers x $4.00 a piece + $4 tip = $20. Now, recently I found a good bar without a cover charge and if I drink stra

Something that always amazes me is how people are willing to sacrifice quite a bit when it comes to monthly food costs, when in reality these costs are incredibly low compared to the benefits you get (nutrition and health). Why don't peopl

I guess I'll answer my own question. Typically I listen to R&B, but my older graduate adviser has recently gotten me interested in classical. My favorite is the Brandenburg Concerto #5 by Bach.

Thanks for your confirmation. I feel like lots of science and engineering projects could benefit a great deal from having a veteran on their team. Your insight is truly valuable. As for the rest of the hacker community, I can see no bette

I've never been to Iraq and I don't know very many veterans that can confirm this, but I do know from my PhD research that this problem is not an easy one to solve. As was mentioned in another post, these explosive devices are improvised, s

I believe strongly in higher education (I'm getting my PhD afterall), but sometimes it needs to be said that college is not the only place you can get all these experiences. You will build your own social networks regardless of wherever yo

It does take a wide-variety of knowledge. But I don't think you need to be an expert in all these fields. You just have to have a passion for presenting information to others. As far as what tools are needed? Here's my take. Computer Sc

You're 25. Realize that whatever you decide is a representation of this period in your life and does not necessarily reflect how your life is going to be lived until you die. Allow yourself to make mistakes and take chances. If you go aft

What you also learn is that this was a brilliant move by Apple. Outsource the development, reap the benefits. This was already known, but I would be interested to see how this these numbers stack up against Apple's internally developed ap
