Not the OP, but something a bit more open ended and allowing interesting answers (IMHO): - If you had to design a programming language, what would be some of the decisions you woul…

Slightly tangential to the post: Does anyone know how to make diagrams (watercolor style) like the ones in OPs article and blog?

How different is this from pinboard.in - why should I migrate to this?

Not to be a debbie downer, looking at this chart hurts my head. I am sure there are many other ways to present this information in a much more elegant and clean way.

Can you please elaborate? At this point I am unsure if I should develop my C/C++ chops more or learn C# application development and add something new to the skillset.

Getting a job to develop with Rust would be a dream :)

Why? A lot of ML and scientific computing libraries are in C++. Quite a few of the roles I have see want a solid understanding/experience with C++.

I think you pointed out my only concern quite well. The C# role is mainly developing application level software which would talk to the C/C++ drivers and such. This C# will be fitt…

Hola. A few ago, as a grad student I was a heavy MATLAB user, working with signal - image processing, machine learning, etc. I got a job and am doing ~ 2 years of experience as a d…

Could you also send me an invite please :)

A couple more things I encountered when trying to sign-up: 1. I could not see New York, SFo on this list. Which are the current target cities? 2. Upload a JPEG only picture. Really…

I think at this point you will just have to hide your birthday from fb.

So you are saying that they should start something like Amazon Payments? I am sure that they are looking into it and the 'Facebook Gifts' might play very easily into all this.

Is this the result of the Karma acquisition [1]? [1] http://blog.getkarma.com/post/23305446792/karma-is-moving-to...

As with most of the neuroscience research, there exists a counter evidence to this - Boecker, H., Sprenger, T., Spilker, M.E., Henriksen, G., Koppenhoefer, M., Wagner, K.J., Valet,…

Haha, yes - I lost my iWork apps likewise.

Let me clarify: You pay a premium for the entire ecosystem - hardware and software. Also, there are a lot of Mac apps not made by apple of better quality and inexpensive.

I think the point isn't that is impossible to be able to do a clean install of an OS and apps (Time Machine included) you have already paid (premium!) for but the fact that it is n…

I would like to ask your criteria for deciding the best phone. A few years ago, yes the iPhone was the best in specs and had the most innovative and unique features. I don't think …

Faster, slimmer, lighter and longer lasting - yes, these are really good updates in a small piece of equipment that iPhone 5 is, there's no denying that. But what really irks me is…
