I'm very curious about how many people you get to volunteer time. One issue you may want to look at is, many non-profits don't need a developer, they need a consultant who can help them come up with what the developer is for. Getting people

This is true hacking news! Discusses a possible new bug in TCP, teaches how TCP works, has links to useful and relevant books on the subject, AND includes remarks about how difficult it is for a newbie to actually make changes to open sourc

From a scale/speed perspective, step one is figure out your next bottleneck. You should do this before it actually becomes a bottleneck. Obvious things come to mind: 1. Memory - very easy to scale up to a machine with more, maybe throw a Ng

Not only is it a distraction. I see that and think "You are going to send me email that will be sent to 15,000 other people? That would just be spam for me! Why should I sign up if you are going to spam me?"

This sounds like feedback roulette only with a manual vetting process instead of feedback points. I enjoy doing good reviews for feedback roulette but I get lots of feedback points for it. What do Alpha users get? Paid?

Someone knows where the money went it just wasn't the woman in that video. She oversees the lending to the regional reserve banks who loan out money. There is no possible way she could know who that money goes to.

This post proves exactly why people are recommending not going to College. If you want to be an academic researcher, go to college for CS. It really does work well. If you want to program, start programming on projects you are interested in
