   I think it has to do with the number of tech jobs that are based in those cities. I'm from the midwest and am working out of an apartment in SF so I have no idea what I'm talking about it, but it seems like a lot of startups are based out o

   I know a few universities that are pushing programs to "fix" this problem in engineers by encouraging them to do more presentations and group projects. It seems like there will always parts of "geek culture" that just don't care. Perhaps th

   I kind of like it as commentary on the state of modern shooters ;)

   I wonder how the AirTouch desks compare to the GeekDesk. I'm really interested in trying out the standing/sitting thing, and those two seem to be the really big ones. Does anyone have any experience with either of them?

   I think that this applies to the technology you're using as well. I've been thinking about this because I'm writing an application in Rails and realized relatively recently that it would be better suited as a Node application. My motivation

   I think it's best to treat that contact as you would a family friend - you wouldn't want to piss off a friend of your mom, right?

   I purchased Vico and haven't regretted it yet. I'll be pleased when the Lion bugs get sorted out. I've also wanted to love Textmate but can't give up my vim commands.

   Were you previously a Perl programmer at all? And are you learning it for any particular purpose? I've always wanted to give Perl a go but can't find something I want to use it for.

   I tried to install Lion after purchasing it from the App Store. It kernel panicked during install and then TRAPPED ME at the installer. Despite restarting, using disk utility, etc, I was stuck. I erased the partition and tried to install ag

    The killer feature in Spotify for me is that it aggregates the music on my HDD and their stuff. I have a library of 14000 songs, so it's nice to have all of this music side by side. The higher quality MP3s in the premium version is a nice t

    I think it'd be really cool if I could see popular searches. Despite the fact that the title of the page is "...for any topic", I had no idea whether it was programming or what, though that may have been because my random book was K&R

    Currently using MySQL, though I'm giving MongoDB a shot for part of the project.

    Would you happen to have any anecdotes of a project or dataset that MongoDB worked particularly well for you? I'm working on a project where documents seem to work particularly well, though the core of the project is still in MySQL. I decid

    This is interesting. I've come to love Solarized, and switch between the two depending on day and night. http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized In iTerm2 I mapped the lighter theme to CTRL-CMD-L and the dark theme to CTRL-CMD-D. I am sure t

    At UIUC, we have a class called "Programming Studio." Each week there's a different assignment, and every three weeks or so the class switches languages. In addition to making our chops better, a focus of the class is communication. At the
