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 rules seem like quite a departure from the norm. I wonder if per

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 emphasis on fun and trying things out and showing what you learned

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 affair. I have good memories of one in particular where I s

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 also serve images. We've turned off file upload and such for

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 lot more of everything the second time through as a TA!

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. ;)
