I've recently had an idea for a hardware startup, but I'm torn between assuming I'm wrong (because I've never launched before) and discussing the idea in a public forum (also spira…

I cannot express to you how much fun this simple little game is! I'm really enjoying it! If I got to work on this game for 90 seconds, I would move the "bonus text" down to the bot…

I've been looking for a game from the "flash era" that's incredibly similar to this one! It was "fling-this-wad-of-duct-tape-to-clog-the-black-hole" as a metaphor, but I forget the…

I used MATLAB last year while I was re-learning it for work. It did okay, but we didn't have a license for the Image Processing Toolbox, which has a boatload of tools for the grid …

What's the subscription fee(s) like after the course's access ends?

Cool tool. I think I'm seasick now from all the scrolling. But cool tool.

Love this! UX nit: I love that I can 'lock' good ideas in and ask for a fresh batch, but I want a way to say 'I reject this idea and don't want to see it again.' I kept getting the…

I cannot even tell you how many glorious memories this brings up! Thanks for a walk down memory lane.

I actually just finished my second career pivot. I was in hardware, then in software, now I'm in government. I'd take careful stock of your support network behind you, and of who y…

Craps?

1) I think it depends on how you define all parts of "escaping evil regimes". But it's a fair point. 2) I studied electrical engineering and I just hadn't run the numbers. The numb…

A friend of mine escaped the Myanmar coup via bitcoin, so I don't think it's a purely zero-value enterprise. I agree, and there are many economists who also agree, that there is a …

I feel 100% qualified to do the job I'm interviewing for this week, but I'm mostly just looking for any tips on how to study for a non-coding interview w/ them. Any horror stories?…

Bandwidth is a real concern, yes. Also, the intent is both for the school and open to the public. But it's really not to build web dev skills, but literally to learn to read and wr…

End user operations will be 100% Windows based and I won't be involved in the operation long term. Also, whoever is, probably won't know Linux at all, let alone at a sys admin leve…

I've been asked to help with the construction and opening of a computer lab in Belize. The plan is to have it used by the remedial school that will host it[1], but also available f…

Is there a way (yet?) to add a chat layer to a codebase? Basically a layer that would take it's best guess at the ERD and functions after reading the code, then be able to articula…

How do people build things like this? Is there a package that helps at all, or is it really just fighting with CSS for a few months to get it how you want it?

What else is in that folder?

Location: Washington, DC Remote: hybrid or fully remote (can negotiate on-prem with master's classes) Willing to relocate: Nope Technologies: Python, R, JavaScript, Ruby, Linux, (.…

I'd love to see a segment/page/row added for Data Science. - thinks Pandas is a subreddit - said they have dplyr in his Magic deck - saw data mining in a documentary about bitcoin …

He probably knew COBOL at one point. He used to write in FoxPro for the longest time. He had an old CompuServe email before we got Juno. My first email was tagged on with his Juno …

I like the "Rescue us from Access" angle. That has good promise. He's never written a line of JavaScript in his life, so I doubt he'll want to do App Scripts, but that's another go…
