I agree with this. I struggled at first (with my daughter's performance in a recent science fair), but realized that my experience was a gift I could give to her in the form of a better-than-average ability to explain seemingly complic

This was rather timely, for me. I have been struggling with the assumption that my daughter's science fair was due to me, rather than her. I was very proud of her work/effort, and wanted to share that with friends/family,

Our company was approached by a local bootcamp to be a hiring partner. Myself and our VP of R&D attended their graduation day to interview potential candidates. None of the candidates made it to the next level of interviews (essential

Sorry, just saw this as well. In our experience, recent grads usually come from a CS or engineering background, so they at least have a strong familiarity with algorithmic thinking, and a much stronger exposure to various programming langua

Sorry, just saw your question. I don't want to say specifically, but the school is an ASP.NET MVC (mostly) shop in Houston. They teach some front end UI also using various frameworks (jQuery, Backbone, etc) and backend is all C# (usi

I've been a hiring partner at one of these "schools" run by a former colleague. The quality of hires was abysmal overall, and gave me a bad taste for these sorts of places in the future. My fear would be that after attendin

Yeah, I did. I had to re-read it 2 or 3 times.

by superqd 12y ago
This is a good move in the right direction.

I think it's more than a parallel.

The software doesn't write and maintain itself. So if the revenue can't cover the expense to write/maintain the codebase (i.e., dev salaries), then the app isn't profitable because one of the major costs can't be m

It makes no sense to say the renewal rate was high enough to remain profitable and self-sustaining, but you can't retain any of your employees. It sounds to me like they didn't have enough renewals to remain profitable and self-s

So is everyone making these now? The only thing Amazon seems to have brought to this is voice command, assuming it has actually been brought.

Exactly. I felt the same way when I watched their most recent videos. I kept thinking that there were things like GSAP which were already available that produce kick ass fluid animations for HTML. IIRC, their founder also said things lik

Given the hype (from them), I was very underwhelmed with the demos. I then remembered that this stuff is supposed to run well on phones (not the WebGL stuff, obviously, at least for iPhones). So I ran it on my phone and several of the dem

When I saw the link title, my first thought was "why do we need yet another new MVC Javascript framework"?
136.
by superqd 13y ago
You are correct. One of our devs built a prototype using a 3rd party WebGL framework quickly (few days), but for the real deal, we started over and went straight to WebGL ourselves (so we could better optimize for large models, etc). The

Very cool stuff.

It's a pretty bright future for WebGL. Lots of companies are doing 3D visualization on the web, including the one I work for. Our product includes an embedded web based architectural model 3D viewer (written by myself and one other d

I think I'd disagree on the point about land. Suppose actor A has no land and $1000 in cash, and actor B has $500 worth of land and $500 in cash. B is willing to sell A his land for $500. A agrees and they engage in the transaction.

Sounds awesome. The $$$ per track and comparing to schools would be awesome too. Seems like you've got a good handle on things and have some good ideas. The design is nice as well. Best of luck to you!

Maybe this is there somewhere, but something I'd want to see are degree tracks/plans. That is, when I got my degree, there were 4 different ways to get it depending on whether I was going for BA, BS or whether I was going to decl

The writing is so confusing to follow, I gave up after the first paragraph. I'm assuming there was a guy who wanted to get away from it all, so he went to an island to be alone?

by superqd 13y ago
I like that as well. Or, as mentioned by noiv, we could do: a(myVariable).is.text or a(myVariable).is().text Either way for me.
144.
by superqd 13y ago
yeah, that's good too.
145.
by superqd 13y ago
It was confusing for me because it's using English words, but reading the code is the opposite of how you'd say it in English. I wouldn't ask/think "text myVariable is" (some languages would, I know), which is

by superqd 13y ago
I realize this is a nitpick, but the use of "is" after the various types is very counter intuitive. Suppose I'm thinking, "hmm, is this text?" or "is this a number?" To do this with the API you have looks

Hmmm. As a traveler, I'm not sure I would find this of interest. Mainly because I still have to book everything myself. This could get onerous if the best deals have constraints that are hard to explain or easy to get wrong. I suppose t

Great project. Looks really nice.

by superqd 14y ago
Not sure if this is feasible for you, unless you are comfortable with getting your hands dirty, but I decided to forgo the use of a 3rd party library and write the WebGL code myself for my latest project. Other folks mentioned geometry mer
