Take it, but don't stop the ruby. At this stage it is worth getting as much programming experience and direction as possible.

I agree that you can't learn to program from sitting in lectures, but they can help you. They can help especially in conjunction with well chosen programming assignments. Most programming assignments are designed to introduce you to new top

while it's possible that mentioning it to your employer may have negative consequences, I think it much more likely that your employer will get you what you need as far as an ergonomic workspace. Unfortunately you need to have some idea of

before spending $1000, adjust your chair, keyboard, and mouse so that your posture is good, your shoulders are relaxed and your wrists are in a neutral position. You may not be able to do this with a standard keyboard, but a split keyboard

I think you went to the wrong school. you should not have been doing boring monotonous busywork in any program at ANY college/university. I double majored in Economics and Computer Science, and was one credit away from a math major as well.

While I see the point of such a thing, I don't like the idea of only reading the posts of people sharing my values/ideas. I already have my values/ideas and reading them will reinforce, instead of expand, them.

I had over half of the class accused of cheating in an undergrad class. He let them off the first time without including the grade on that assignment, but warned that it would not be acceptable on future assignments. When people did it agai

My professor's view was also that D and F were pretty much the same also, you can't get very many Ds and stay in school. D is kind of like a "high fail." I believe we were limited in the number of Ds on our transcript for graduation, altho

I always thought this was an issue at my school. Fail the students who need to fail. Supposedly we had a rule that no more than 25% of a class should fail. I was in classes where more than that deserved to fail. I also seriously considered

> Of course nobody is going to walk 3 miles, that's stupid. What is stupid about that? Every day at lunch a group of 4 of us go on a three mile walk. Most days we stroll and it takes an hour. If I had my own cart I could certainly

I understand the risks of raw milk and want it. I also understand why we have it regulated. I would like to relax the regulation to allow me to get raw milk in some situations. but I don't want BigCo. selling it. BigCo. can't be trusted.

the parent isn't saying anything about it being so important, he is saying that not regulating isn't working is some particular cases.

the problem is that no milk will be uncertified. There will be certain certifiers that will certify anything, and it will be extremely difficult for a buyer to tell the difference. Look at something like eggs. People pay more for eggs beca

teachers seem solidly in the middle for the three groups. This brings up something interesting, as a group, we like to think of ourselves as above average when compared to other disciplines, but Computer & Info. Sciences was comparable

As another Eco Major I think I agree with you. The problem is that runs on banks are like a giant prisoner's dilemma. Everyone is better off getting out if there is a problem, and no worse off if there is not. What he is talking about is s

A different kind of gross mismanagement: One that involved less fraud, and backroom transaction. I agree that SOX is probably not particularly useful. Although it does target some specific bad practices that were instrumental in Enron's col

What I'm saying is that just because a particular set of regulations didn't help in a particular case doesn't mean that regulation is worthless. SOX was created primarily intended to prevent the type of gross-mismanagement that brought dow

It's never particularly bothered me to see posts get downmodded with no explanation, but I like the basic idea. This lets both the poster know and other readers. This may cause a problem where we get a bunch of comments that say the same th

This is a fair point. I certainly agree with what the article is saying, but the presentation is one-sided. There is no mention of alternative explanations for the decline in ability to self-regulate, or wether standing still is measuring s
