I made this as a sample project using clojurescript. The canvas is clickable - clicking will swap the value of the spot. Heatmap shows how long a piece of bacteria will live in a spot (Black being just born - White living 25 iterations). It

I picked Clojure because I want to get into functional languages more, and I find the LISP-like syntax actually quite easy to get a hang of and more intuitive than Haskell. Node.js just to improve my Javascript skills and see what all the h

Top of my list are Node.js and Clojure.

You are better off going in now and making the connection than waiting for the perfect moment. If your skills aren't up to par, at least you will be remembered and they will be more impressed when your skills are up to par (shows you can im

Seems like a fairly common strategy these days. 1) Build an API so other developers can innovate features 2) Cut off access to popular features made by other developers 3) Clone said features from step 2

It is one of those things that is obvious in hindsight. No one informed me that tuition increased at that level when I was looking at colleges (certainly not the schools). The only way I could even find past tuition levels for my university

I'm talking about out-of-state tuition though, which from my understanding was not subsidized by the state government at all. The funny thing is, the university I went to was still cheaper and better than my in-state alternatives.

One thing that really bothers me is how much universities are allowed to raise their tuition on existing students. I started college paying about $6k a year in tuition my freshmen year. My senior year cost me $11k. The difference in tuition

I completely agree a horizontal structure is a better working environment for employees. I don't know how the compensation packages at Valve works, but I'm betting the shareholders (and executives at the top who are given shares) are gettin

I just did a quick skim of the article, and call me naive if you want, but in the theory of spontaneous order why is Valve necessary? Obviously, the time and labour of Valve's employees is worth more than what Valve is paying them, otherwis

Debug using an actual Android device, which is much faster. The emulator for Android is notoriously slow. Though almost nothing is as quick when debugging as Chrome's console.

I've backed out of going to graduate school after accepting to go, which is similar to a job offering since they were offering a fellowship. The only thing I felt bad about was I didn't realize soon enough that I shouldn't go, but it just w

Low reputation account. Won't name the site. Questionable e-mail address. Promises a site that supposedly generates 5k a month with almost no work. Looks legit.

You might want to check out Microsoft Azure. I use it and it is powerful and has a good free trial. Only thing that is bad about it is fairly long deployment times (10 to 30 minutes). As a disclaimer I currently use it with C#, but it recen

Clearly exaggeration on her part about her hours. No one works 130 hours a week consistently, it is just physically not possible. This article is about everything wrong with corporate work environments. 1) Productivity is equivalent to time

I use an Android phone. I primarily use Win 8 consumer preview (sometimes Win 7 or Ubuntu). I dislike Apple for many reasons. However, I bought one of the new Macbook Airs yesterday. I'm going to dual-boot Win 8 on it. Currently, they are j

I was wondering about this myself when I bought my humble bundle. I think that saying linux users pay more on average is somewhat misleading without some sort of analysis on the actual data. For example, if linux counts for only $100,000 of
