I just started watching some Machine Learning lectures on iTunes U. from Stanford. Great stuff so far. http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/itunes.s... http://cs229.stanford.edu

Really hope they find him, too. I remember reading about him in Wired some years ago, running over to his website, and reading as many of those essays and various things he'd written as possible. Was great stuff... http://www.wired.com/wi

See Spreedly, CheddarGetter, or Recurly. All good for subscription billing at least. http://www.spreedly.com http://www.cheddargetter.com http://www.recurly.com

I find working from home (or somewhere other than the office) to be much easier than working at the office because I'm away from my co-workers. Great folks, but they don't seem to get that headphones, terse replies, and furious typing me

Yup...sounds like this from @rishi. http://gettingmoreawesome.blogspot.com/2009/10/examples-arou... (There's examples here, at least.)

+1 for that. How about inviting her to Startup School next year even?

Will there eventually be a way to separate out folks who just do design (static pages, etc.) vs. folks who've designed actual web apps? Maybe tags or something would help.

Pick partners that are just as enthusiastic about the actual idea and its business potential rather than those who are only really looking to line their pockets. You may miss it at first (especially if it's your first venture), but nobod

I've found that this really comes into play if you're dealing with customers who aren't exactly geeks (mostly who I deal with) and don't care about your text-messaging-enabled-social-what's-it-doozer. That in itself isn't exactly exciting.

Nope, not pissed off at all. What can we do, though? - Change attitudes of kids. We can't continue on this trend where being smart is considered "acting white." Surprisingly, I never got much of that back in grade school because for some

On the contrary, my comment definitely didn't say anything about improving only the education of minorities and I definitely didn't say "just forget it." The article is about minorities, though, is it not? And I think, implicitly, the a

That article has a point, but it doesn't serve any purpose other than highlighting a problem we already know about--let's leave the dead horses alone. As a minority (black female), it's nothing new. > "Attracting students' interest to

Hahaa...that's definitely happening to me now. I find myself sneaking out to my car making calls to potential clients to schedule demos, etc. You do lose motivation and the mind wanders... :(

Definitely not taken the wrong way. As a female compSci student, this really did come up as an issue. I had a friend who was doing great in our program, but after her first internship, she realized compSci was not at all what she was inte

Definitely learn to use version control of some sort (I'm still stuck on Subversion) as early as you possibly can. Indeed, it'll be great to track your progress as you build up code on more complex stuff. Also, you'll definitely be great

I'd have to agree. After spending a bit of time working on a J2ME app, friends and I figured out that you'd have a helluva time getting it to run on enough phones to actually make a difference. With operator restrictions, the need for sec

Definitely not a fan of automated tweeting. The first time I saw somebody using this, they thanked 7 people in a row for following them and it was like, "WTH?!" And as more followers came in, that's how it was. I unfollowed them ultimatel
