I almost suggest having a different interest and taking CS courses to compliment it. CS is generic enough that without something else that you can use it on, it seems pretty bland.

The biggest suggestion I can give to students in CS is to find a focus (like this link was Security). Without that, after graduating with your Bachelor degree, you won't have a specific interest. If its academic and you're really

As a college instructor, this excites and worries me. Obviously, major courses being offered online can reduce the number of students coming through our door. Conversely, most of the core requirement courses have become so 'cookie cutt

I think the smoke detector is a safe bet for the Nest. Like the page says, the "connected home" is starting to be something we see emerging; the issue is, what needs to be 'connected'? There aren't really a lot of a

I think he means the deeper in the comments you go, the closer it becomes an 'e-peen' measuring contest. But the first post is the only thing you should dive into.

Actually, it is easy to blame them. If a bar had the reputation of crawling with sexist assholes and awkward lonely guys, how would the organization fair? The owner can't say 'Oh well, that's how our customers are' if th

To me it sounds like she made those offers to everyone but the instructor. There is no mention to the instructor's reaction to this offer. Also, when she later mentions the instructor 'not noticing' the daughter's less e

The basics are not always interesting, especially when you 'get them'. But its through this repetition you build upon the knowledge. Eventually every fancy thing falls back to the basics. Think about Chemistry; the instructor can

Background: Currently teaching Intro to Programming using VB (not even 2012... cause our lead instructor's textbook is for 2010). I created a stir when I suggested we move to C, which we are next semester. Many of people have already c

Despite no longer playing, I love the continued updates for the game. Just yesterday I suggested the game to my Basic PC Literacy class and a handful of the students were nodding in agreement.

I disagree, think of it like Bit.Trip Runner, the beat builds as you progress, but you have to start over if you fail.

Based on this article, I think Twitch.tv actually handles UX very well. http://www.twitch.tv/directory Initially, you see the larger navigation bar which gives you clear definition to where everything is; however, once you&

I'm a backer, but this is the first time I'm picking up the alpha. As someone primarily using Sublime Text, what can I expect to be different? I get its still in Alpha, but just what difference.

I'm still reading this, but this paragraph just made me incredibly frustrated: "...The white stuff that was mixed into the tan stuff was floating to the top and congealing together... So I just started just scooping them out... I’

Best of luck, I recently received an email that WorkforPie.com was shutting down ( http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/08/02/developer-hiring-st... ) and they had the same sort of model. I get we always com

To carry what zecho was saying, at what point does it become ridiculous? Everyone has a calculator in their pocket, should we stop worrying about teaching addition? You chose to use the extreme items that get memorized, but there where is t

Living in a college town, you'd be amazed how many people meet up at Coffee Shops to work. Personally, I'm like that as well. Something about getting out of the house and dropping $2 on coffee makes me force myself to work without

Like lobo had mentioned, I would like to see a program-based bundle. If you were to able to follow the HumbleBundle's pricing scheme for programs like Sublime Text (and even f.lux which is free), coupled with other utility packages, I

Nice work, just tried it out. One suggestion would be to add a Switch pop-up if you run into exercises like Side Plank.

I think everyone's big concern is how to make the next teen 'thing' the next goldmine, which I think it where ideas flounder. Once upon a time, it was chat rooms and message boards, then Xanga and LiveJournal, then MySpace and currently Fac

Retention rates are low in everything, not just online classes. Ultimately, its how the student reacts to the plateau. Anyone in any area of teaching, I'd highly recommend reading "Mastery" by George Leonard. In the book, he talks about 3 o

You're right, my math was way off, thanks for catching that. It was still Arena points, cause I remember quitting the next day.

It's a little bit of a Catch-22, but focusing on self first definitely improves happiness. About 9 years ago, I had terrible anger issues, over weight and all the stereotypes of the computer dork. One day, after sitting on WoW for 4 hours w

I think its not so much user-hated as difference of taste. I love the perma-death aspect of a lot of the games I've played because I get to appreciate all I've earned. That being said, to balance it our, you remove the idea of 'epic loot' (

If you are interested in a game that holds similar mechanics, take a look at Darkfall( http://www.darkfallonline.com/ ), while it is shutting down, the 'sequel' is being released. It offers the same full looting, full PvP experience. The on

I'd love to see more reactions to the blackout. When I was waiting for the game to continue, I instantly remembered all the Buffalo Wild Wing 'Overtime' commercials. If this is how Oreo's marketing team reacted, you can imagine there was so

While others are complaining about all the up front set up; this is actually something I like. Base tutorials always seem to be missing that 'something' that takes what you've learned and turns it into a real world application. Even if its
