I got my current job from one of these threads! It can work.

As far as I know, it's just L&S CS. I graduated with a degree in EECS in May 2012 and we didn't really have any required upper division courses beyond "take X number of units".

I graduated from UC Berkeley a year ago, and I remember CS161 being known as one of the easier technical upper divs at Berkeley. Although I never took the course myself, these rule…

The point of this exercise was to show that opacity has an effect on element position, which was surprising to me! It matters because it might fix a z-index bug you have one day (:…

I took a class that used this book at Berkeley. I think it's kind of like a wikipedia article in a book--it's clear and easy to read (well, easier than most other textbooks!)

It's too bad you failed to use the subjunctive properly then. ;)

That's why over at Berkeley we at Hackers at Berkeley decided to start hosting Hackjams. They're twelve hour events from about 1 PM to 1 AM. We have much less pressure, more emphas…

Worked fine for me.

We just heard back and got an interview! Terribly exciting news.

Thanks for the pointer! My first language was Scheme and I always kind of joke around about eventually learning Haskell. I think I might actually start doing it though.

Hackathons aren't always about just making good software. For me, if you're at a hackathon and not pushing your limits, then you're not really getting into the spirit of the entire…

I couldn't agree more--I browse both HN and Reddit. I think the purpose of the two boards are different and I'm fine with that.

Isn't there an opt-out mechanism so that your photos won't be darkened? I assume they put this in here because there are professional photographers on the site.

I think someone may be Javascript injecting our demo...I will admit that displaying the total number of connected users is not done in the best way possible.

We wrote a Turntable.fm clone which can be viewed at http://www.soncoya.com The neat thing though is that "media" is not limited to just mp3s--as you can see in the demo we can als…

Because if you're like me, you're sitting in class incredibly bored. ;)

I do like the idea of having it as a capstone. It's what Brian said: "I wish we could teach SICP both to incoming freshmen and seniors before they leave." I definitely understand a…

My friends always wonder why I take the time to type in example code by hand. I want to know what the code does, not just peace together things arbitrarily!

Isn't that always the funny part of life? Whenever I have hack parties with my friends, I always end up learning everything at like 2:00 AM when we finally start in earnest. ;)
