//TODO: fix this thing below here
Been mulling around making a vim plugin like vim-flake to put the todos into the quickfix window on :w
This is my thought as well. It seems like a perfectly feasible solution to me, but I might be speaking out of the naivete mentioned in the article.

1. I most definitely agree and was the approach I took to my professor when I met with him, but he needs a solid idea to start with to make sure that we don't do five half-assed things throughout the semester and end up with nothing to show
2. The Sponsor organization (my team) gets all the rights to the products as is described in the proposal documentation "The sponsoring organization retains the rights to the resulting software. Also, sponsors may require students to sign non-disclosure agreements, as long as the agreements"
Nope, this is from the proposal disclosure "The sponsoring organization retains the rights to the resulting software. Also, sponsors may require students to sign non-disclosure agreements, as long as the agreements" And in my case, My team and I are the sponsor

I have a unique opportunity on my hands, but lack the ammo to execute with.In my senior projects class at CU-Boulder I have been given the go ahead by the professor to forego the standard curricula of CSCI 4308 and create my own project as long as it has "substantial business influence". This of course directly translates to building a startup.I have six months, a team of five senior cs-majors,...
I live in Boulder as well and would love to be able to check out the intern position, if that's feasible for working remotely. I wouldn't mind traveling to the HQ every couple of weeks on my dime even.
I've been into Klosterman lately
Downtown Owl (novel)
Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs (essays on pop culture)
Eating the Dinosaur (more essays)
Other Novels:
Lolita - Nabokov
White Noise - Delillo
This directly addresses an internal struggle I have been having as of late. Pursue an MBA or not?
The way I see it is that business is a fluid process and while learning the basic framework of it is beneficial, it in no way corresponds to success. Any of the classes in an MBA can be learned through books. What you are paying for is the experience and the network that you can gain at a low risk, while firmly rooting a foundation of fundamentals.

I am beginning a senior design project at CU-Boulder, where we work with local businesses to create a year-long project to be used by said businessess. Most of the past projects have been nothing to write home about.Screw that.I want to do something sweet, and get some experience repping a product.Does the HN community think that a minimalist web framework for Haskell could gain traction?I was...
Well that's the issue is that I am constantly experimenting (tasterator.com fmstalker.com), but feel like I am lacking direction.

I am currently an intern at Qualcomm and went to the HQ for a speech by the founder (Irwin Jacobs). I went in feeling optimistic and excited to learn the growth of a large company like QC from a startup to a Fortune 500 company. The speech wasn't all that enlightening, mainly about how they stuck to CDMA in the face of a growing GSM market and their main goal has always been to try and push...
I love hackathons. With more content this could be something that I would use. As far as feedback. Geolocating on the homepage for hackathons near the user would be an instant way to demonstrate the usefulness. Just a thought.

Spun this up yesterday because I was curious as to how my music taste would be rated. Is it more than just a gimmick if it was developed to take things like metacritic in a new direction?

"But confidence to the point of arrogance is practically a degree requirement for computer scientists."
Spot On.
The major themes here are ones that challenge us and are hard to cope with. Particularly the theme of inevitability. It is in the back of all of our minds and we condition ourselves to accept it, but it is always there. Asimov solves the inevitability of resource degradation by expansion and the inevitability of death by immortality, but in the end there are both, in fact, inevitable. When all seems lost and the bleakness of our existence is brought into scope, he presents the cyclic nature of time. A novel approach to a problem that plagues the core of our being. This is where the story really jumped from good to amazing for me. I'm still stuck on it.
