I was pretty impressed when we opened tonight. Folks started walking calmly into the store. They were walking fast, but I didn't see anyone doing an all out sprint.

This year will be my first working in retail on a Black Friday. I work at Hhgregg, and electronics and appliances retailer in the eastern half of the United States and I will be wo…

I've never understood the desire to work remotely, unless you are nomadic and travel the world.

I'm not sure what you'd do with the data itself, but if you want to build some interactive charts to show off your project, Highcharts[1] is a good way to go. 1: http://www.highcha…

Is that $1500 for your own place or $1500 with roommates?

San Jose is a bit farther away from San Francisco, but the prices are lower there aren't they?

I know life in the Valley isn't cheap, but how much could I expect to spend on a shared apartment? I'm 20, single, and I don't mind having multiple roommates.

Well I meant in addition to any non-school related projects I do. :P The tasks we are asked to perform here are a joke. I recall a problem set last year that went something like th…

I haven't made anything yet. How would the source from my course assignments/projects look on GitHub?

I definitely get the point of MIT and Stanford having amazing entrepreneurial cultures, which is something that we don't have here in Newfoundland. I'd love to be able to tell peop…

This is an interesting answer because I wasn't expecting anyone to tell me that business is easier than MIT. Then again, you owned the majority of a business that had more than $1m…

I have considered Waterloo, but it's far too expensive for me to attend, unfortunately.

That's good, because although I have a StackOverflow account, my reputation is 1. It's a new account. :P

Sounds like brown nosing to me. :P

I got the idea recently to create a repo for all of the course work that I have done and will do. Do you think that this will work to my advantage?

I'll be starting my second year in September, so I'll have plenty of time to attend this conference. Thanks for the link, I'll make a note of the date for next year and bookmark th…

I'd like to get an internship with Mixpanel -- a web analytics company -- next summer so I've been reading up on data mining and I hope to get to work on a related project using Py…

I've tried to get into open source development, but it's so overwhelming. I have no idea where to start and I don't understand most of the code I attempt to read.

I've been working with a CS professor for about a month and a half now as part of a work-study program. Do I get street cred for this?

This is what I've heard. In fact, I actually have another Ask HN thread up write now on this same topic. It should be slightly higher up on the 'new' page if you want to check it o…

No, I'm in Newfoundland, Canada -- about as far away from the Valley as you can get while staying in North America. Do you have any tips for fellow attendees of awful schools?

No offence, but that doesn't answer his question. What does it depend on?
