I'm also a college student, but not sure how much authority I have on this matter. Grades (I think) are only an approximation of your knowledge. Take them with a grain of salt, unless things like financial aid or enrollment hang in the

I do not believe that was the point of the article. Extrapolations and technicalities aside, she is showing her perspective of why she is pissed at the cryptoparty community. Personally, I find that somewhat interesting.

At RIT at least, R and NumPy aren't in the core curriculum. Instead, there is a "Statistical Computing" class which covers SAS. Most students either use Minitab or Excel. Surprisingly (or not), a lot of in-class work is done using a graphi

Good point about the karma limit. I was writing under a different assumption. What I was proposing in my earlier post was exactly as you say: explain the downvote. Maybe let everyone downvote, but have tiny radio buttons with reasons next t

"New" members shouldn't downvote because they might not downvote the right things, or for the right reasons. I do not consider lurkers "new members." I also disagree with the idea of karma-driven downvote system. However, I wrote the above

That's a neat idea. -1 doesn't mean much without a comment explaining why. I do have a concern, though. If this system is implemented, doesn't that mean that the "new kids" will also have access to this system and may use it to exasperate H

This is a huge stretch, but will there be any support for noweb? Whenever I use LaTeX, it's usually for math/physics/stat homework where either computation or graphs are involved. It would be lovely if I could somehow inject (for example)

So, are you saying that a discipline that does not involve the physical world cannot necessarily be an engineering discipline? Personally, I don't usually see people favoring the word "engineer" over programmer or software developer. As f

Co-op program. And networking. A lot of companies see RIT as a huge talent pool, and dedicate quite a bit of recruiting resources to look for potential interns and full-timers. Plus, you'll find peers that you can use to develop your profes

Do restaurant owners recieve complaints about Asians? Gays? Muslims? Do restaurant owners recieve those complaints at the level that they do about young children? Are those complaints justified as they are in this case?

If you're on Linux, there is worklog. There's a bit of initial setup with config files, but after you've done that switching tasks is as simple as (switching to your terminal and) hitting a key.

Programming books are usually a chore for me to read through. I usually lose focus within 10 or so minutes. That said, there are a few exceptions: * _Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby[1] * The Tao of Programming[2] [1]: http://mislav.u
