Tens of millions maybe to some, but honestly the percentage of people making that is low and it takes years and years to get up there. Even then, waiting 15 years to make a million won't have the same affect on everyone. Have you read Tony

If you are a college student reading this and have the slightest inkling of entrepreneurial flare, please please please do not work for a financial company/wall street. I can assure it will be nothing compared to what you are able to accomp

I'm used to living in Canada where customer service is a joke, but Verizon customer service is unreal! I've never had to wait more than 2 minutes to speak to someone, and they actively look for ways to discount my bill when I call in.

The look and feel remind me very much of Bumptop. Looks like a more complicated, although more effective way to organize the tablet versus the iPad.

I have to disagree. What about Hadoop, Solr/Lucene, Mahout, etc? Those are pretty sweet projects made in Java and I'd have to argue are pretty successful. I'll admit that I have listed all Apache projects, so would you then argue that Apach

Right, but the people who were being arrested didn't. Regardless of whether the video is used in court, it's still being recorded. Isn't that the same thing? Do you think they take advantage of the defendants "dire" situations to get them t

The thing that seems so absurd to me is that shows like "COPS" are so ridiculously successful.

Its probably something similar to SoundManager2, which you can learn more about here: http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/ I've used it in a project of mine which allows you to upload and control your music library like iTun

Couldn't you just add the tracker url from the s3 torrent to the torrent file you generate?

by zmitri 16y ago
This is cool, you could also use S3 to help you seed if you don't want to keep your computer on all the time. S3 allows you to use torrents by adding ?torrent to the end of your urls. The data transfer is treated the same as regular S3 data

One way would be to get a job as an analyst, and just start trying to automate the tasks you perform, or any other inefficiencies you see in the workplace. I know atleast 2 or 3 people who have become "sufficient" in programming from this.

Do you have an engineering degree? Could someone who did CS qualify for that position without being an "Engineer"?

The TN visa is not ideal for devs/hackers as you would have to apply under the guise of "Computer Systems Analyst." Unless your employer is willing to provide you with a job description that explicitly states computer systems analyst and do

A year at a "top" nursery school in New York City, can cost more than my entire university education (McGill University). Pretty scary thought right?

where I see the real value in this, is suggesting similar users. It seems like twitter suggestions are based on your social graph, but I believe there to be much more value in tweet content analysis. Creating simple badges allows you to pro

I was at work on a crappy thin client and first tried to run list(itertools.combinations(sequence)), which was crapping out. After I switched it to itertools.combinations(sequence,i) and put that right into my for loop it was fine.

The last question isn't that difficult if you brute force it and have loads of memory. I tried to do it in python using itertools on my work thinclient and got a memoryerror. If you however break up your combinations.. you're good to go! Fu

It did help. The reason was that GS was able to run the models and pricing on the CDOs (collateralized debt obligations) they held, unlike other firms. CDOs are made up of a collection of asset backed securities, and even running a cashflow

This has really changed my view point on Castro. I'm not sure if he's been looking at lives of Cubans and realizing that maybe the revolution wasn't worth it, or if he's just getting older and his youthful " altruistic idealism" is fading.

Totally agree with you. Unions are useful for those who want to put in their '20' years and then live off of pensions, work boring jobs, or need safety guarantees. From my experiences, programmers are dynamic, inventive, independent, and th
