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.

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.highcharts.com/

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?

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 this: "You have a Door object that has a state which can be 'o

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 people about something that I've made -- but I haven't made anyt

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 in revenue. I have trouble finding money to spend on lunch.

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

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 the site. EDIT: Do you have any tips on networking? I have no

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 Python in the next few weeks.

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 out. The title is 'Ask HN: Showing personal projects to poten

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?

I don't think that most colleges instill a solid work ethic in their students because the work is just too easy (this is the case with my university). You have to get an 80 at my university to get an A .. the high school I went to required

Generally I wouldn't waste my time on naysayers, but I feel like this time I should. I am fully aware of everything that has been said here. I know it's hard work. I've heard about the hours. I know that it would be easier to start with Pyt

Now to be fair, there are a couple that at least make sense. For example, 48. "I got it for free" is a pet hate. You got it "free" not "for free". You don't get something cheap and say you got it "for cheap" do you? Mark Jones, Plymouth. I'
