Seems like a great idea. I would be interested to hear about the indicators used to show that students sometimes didn't bother applying in these cases. It seems intuitive that coll…

If HBO is hamstrung by lucrative deals, then it stands to think that HBO's own deal making has prevented them from usurping Netflix. To my knowledge, I haven't heard of Netflix hav…

If large stakeholders in Snap also had large stakes in all these media outlets praising the Snap IPO, would you say the same? It's not really about what everyone else is reporting;…

There was another example in this very article of them writing a glowing defense of Comcast, which they neglected to put a disclaimer on until a large outcry caught up with them. W…

Are you sure none of the commits on any of your repos accidentally have the author email as the private one you login with?

In their diff example, line 33 on the left and 35 on the right are shown to be unchanged, however the indent isn't the same... Seems like they've hardcoded this example incorrectly…

A more recent iteration of this course from Spring 2015 with better quality all around and the entire playlist of lectures: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-XXv-cvA_iA4YSaT…

Coin stood by nothing, not even their early backers. I'm genuinely upset they got our money and sold out, making more money. I wish they went up in flames and died out for the horr…

I'm with you. Not only was I an original backer, but I was also an early backer. I got my Coin 1.0 months after they promised, and it almost never worked anywhere. Coin 2.0 comes o…

I'm glad there's at least one government agency that's competent and technical enough to further our encryption tech. I'm worried the FBI and DOJ will try to spin this DARPA notice…

Are you going to cite facts to back up your claims of a $100,000 university? You roughly doubled the tuition, room and board, and required fees of NYU, commonly cited as the most e…

Begrudgingly, I agree. I don't consider a patent holder to be a troll unless they're clearly not the first party to develop said technology. If there's clear prior art, only then w…

61C veteran here too! Those projects were mind blowing at times; unrolling a loop by 2 or even 4 would have ridiculous effects on runtime.

April fools?

I find people's immense gullibility more humorous than any of these April Fool's jokes. That said, good post! Had a bit of a chuckle at the NSA rib.

As long as the files aren't being removed and marked inaccessible by the owner, I see no malicious intent by Dropbox here. I'm sure they were pressured by the MPAA and other simila…

If only more of us thought in the same "minimal change, maximal effect" paradigm as this teen. Good work! Keep hacking!

Git, SVN, CVS; git-flow, scrumming for merges; what strategies do you use at work, and which do you use with your side projects? Do you differ between the two?

The game is arbitrarily winnable now. Press down until you get rows of 2-4-8-16, then collapse all the way to the left. Repeat this procedure until you get to 256/512.

I don't think this is GG: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/632568/Screen%20Shot%202...

Buggy; Got some sort of JS alert error that stopped my game short: "GG 308", "GG -1". I'm guessing you're reporting my score here, but there are still MANY valid moves left on the …

How does he explain storing simple integers in a reasonable amount of space? Any decent programmer will avoid using too many bits for a variable that never exceeds a certain value …

The overarching point is that having your watch unlock your phone doesn't include any personal security barrier; I don't need to know some privileged information to unlock your dev…
