I find it the opposite, and I played in high school too, but since I know the mechanics of everything it makes it a lot more interesting. For instance most people only get the gist of the game, whereas for me actually seeing what formations

Well it's about efficiency too, Coffee Meets Bagel does the 1 day a match thing and after 4 weeks of non matches (either I wasn't attracted to them or they to me) I just quit the site. Compared to a minute spent swiping 30 people

Signed up and got put on waiting list. Used OkC and Tinder before, let's see how different this is. Also will be interesting to see if this follows a lot of the online dating trends that was outlined in Christian Rudder's Dataclys

Pretty much the same thing happened to me a year ago, I was at an onsite interview, did really well 4 out of the 5 rounds, but 1 round I just completely choked some basic linked list question and looked like an idiot.

I was an introverted Asian in high school, how I learned to wane out of it is alcohol. I'm not saying I'm dependent on alcohol, but it teaches you to not care and just be more social, which you can try to slowly bleed into your pe

I tried this once to upgrade my room to a suite, you basically put $20 in between your ID and credit card when you check in, and ask if there are any complimentary room/food/credit upgrades with a smile. However, I was with a cowo

I've had an awful experience with Hired. Wasn't just a one-time thing either.

I think if you do web or mobile stuff, you can easily amaze people as well if you have some interesting projects, considering how everyone has a smartphone nowadays - you can just be like "hey check out this side project I've been

That reminds me of a HN thread a few days ago about someone getting fired after two weeks since he asked too many questions.

An Oculus Rift poker game using bitcoins as currency would be pretty neat.

Even though Kanye West gets a lot of flak for his behavior, I think that most of the sampling that he's done (especially on his first 3 albums) has been amazing. Like taking a 2 second sound clip from Steely Dan's Kid Charlemagne

Well yeah you don't need meanings for some songs that pretty literal like that, but if you listen to say some of Lupe Fiasco's top songs where he has a metaphor referencing another metaphor every line then those meanings can be pr

I am more or less in the same boat as you are. I graduated roughly a year ago, and I've been trying to find a developer position in any big tech city (SV, Seattle, NY, Boston, etc). I've gotten many phone/skype interviews, ev

You should do CS since there's quite a lot of overlap of IS. With a CS degree you can still go for IS-oriented jobs when you graduate (and you may even be considered above people who have an IS degree), whereas it's a bit tougher

If you're in the US, it was very do-able before Black Friday (when the 3 major websites got banned), but nowadays it's way tougher since the sites that you can actually play in the US don't have as much action. In the past, y

After talking to someone who knows quite a bit about this stuff, apparently most people in the genomics/bioinformatics community kinda already knew about this, just that the researchers who wrote the paper were the first one to officia

If you watch actually funny shows that have a laugh track, such as Seinfeld, and removed them - they're still funny. Idk I just find BBT humor very bland, like the punch line to a joke may be just someone screaming out a nerd reference

The main thing I don't like about BBT is that it's generally not funny. Look how the show holds without its laugh track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKS3MGriZcs

Bioinformatics/Genomics have been beginning to use GPUs for their data processing, since there's vast amount of DNA data that can take a long time to get through.

I've applied to a soul crushing number of companies this year and I've yet to land a position. Sometimes it's because I just fail at the tech interviews, or I just have a brain fart and mess up trivial stuff, but quite a numb

As an avid poker player, I think this is a neat idea for a lot of casual live players to get into online play.

Yeah, and most of the emails (that I've received) are just HR people promoting their own blog posts or something.
