Using the same setup and I've been loving it so far (almost 3 years now). The package manager is just so sweet.
Depends on where you look. Last year (this year, actually) I saw several openings looking for Rails experience I think. Besides, the projects are pretty open about it. You can approach a project and come up with your…
That is one possibility. But with subtle things like that, the trick is to come up with an experiment that either supports or falsifies them. Until such data exist, it remains a mere hypothesis.
There has been a lot of buzz in the (scientific) twitter/blogo-sphere regarding this. The main point of contention is essentialy the % of functional element ENCODE annotates. As it turns out, their criteria of denoting…
As someone who uses YouTube a lot to listen to music: thanks for this! I have some comments + questions, though: Comments: 1.The video feels too small for such a large screen estate. Perhaps add an option to resize it?…
Almost every part of the human body directly exposed to the environment is covered with microbes: the skin, the gut lining, your mouth, your nasal passage, etc. Only a small part isn't (as I recall your eyes are…
My initial impression is it's a little confusing. Getting to the starred lists and to the watched lists require a considerably different navigation. (e.g. why is there a "Stars" tab beside the "Issues" tab but no…
Ah true, I take back that part of my argument then. Maybe Google does owe him something. I still think he was being childish and over the top, though.
I feel 'meh'. I just fixed mine, and that's it. People shouldn't rely on Facebook for making new connections anyway. And my friends who are there know how to contact me better than to rely on Facebook only. I mean, do…
The default was set to the first option, which (as much as I hate to say it), still gives his argument some grounds. Google should've set it as opt-in instead of opt-out. But, man, talk about being over the top. It's…
How much are internships usually paid in the US? For some parts of the world (developing, especially) the GSoC stipend is ridiculously high.
Ah true. I meant explicit version control (e.g. you can tag/name a version and go back to it later).
How does this stack up against Google Docs or other similar collaborative document websites/apps? The only obvious difference I see is versioning support, but I doubt versioning works well with regular documents.

That seems plausible only if the search quality differs by a small margin. I haven't been using Bing extensively, but I remember trying some queries a while ago and Google was showing better results. Is this still the…
Forgive me for being too blatant, but I'm puzzled by their reason of doing this. Do people really switch search engines because of the UI? I understand that some people might prefer the less cluttered version, but when…
I agree with you and I just wanted to add something. I'm purely speculating, but I think they are appealing to the wider audience because of the 'cool' factor. They've been successful because of the way Apple positions…
There's actually a slew of Python blogging engines out there. I was using Blogofile myself, until I decided to write my own out of desire to use Jinja2 and to have more flexibility. It's available here:…
Congratulations :)! The 'address a need' part is spot-on. I think the greatest feeling of all is knowing that somewhere out there, someone's life has just been made easier because of what you did.
Wouldn't that also requires access to industrial-grade chemicals & machines? E.g. you need to purify your amino acids or carbs, and test the purity, check if any dangerous by-products are present, etc.
The DIY biotech movement has been going on for some time now. People are drawing parallels between the movement and the early days of the tech scene, predicting DIY bio will be as big and influential as today's DIY tech…
The course seems to be online. Here's the page containing video links: http://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.851/spring12/lectures/
Call me a skeptic, but I don't think those simulations can ever replace real-life situations. The human body is bewilderingly complex that it it still a subject of thousands of researches worldwide. How can you simulate…
I think this will highlight differences among fields of education (?). Programming is a very pragmatic field. Your ability to code is at its core judged by whether you can program something that works. Don't have a…
Well, you can check for 3 AND 5 first (or check for 15 altogether). This is if you have two subsequent checks for 3 and for 5.
