News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Hey guys, UF student here.

Here's what was actually sent out to UF students about the decision. The link goes to the budget cut proposal. Currently the president of the University (Bernie Machen) is petitioning the state government to allow for tuition hikes above the already annual limit of 15%.

Testing my theory is the next step, as no theory is perfect and will certainly change over time. Theories come and go, and may even be true for a time, but I need the ability to effectively test/execute whatever theory that may be.

What is your experience in trading, if you don't mind me asking?

I suppose that could be where I end up down the road, but right now I am more interested in ( as you correctly concluded that I am without the large amounts of necessary capital for profiting from fractions of pennies) the daily/weekly volatility that is oftentimes seemingly unnecessary and counter to the longer term trends.

A lot of great resources here, thanks so much.

Yes thanks to hacker news I have come to know about Udacity and can't wait to sign up for next terms CS101. I am always reading I can't seem to get enough... per your recommendation I'll definitely check it out.

Ultimate Day Trading Platform/Information Collector

Just a quick little concept I've been wrestling with for a few months for use in day trading. As you may be aware, lost seconds can sometimes mean lost opportunity... time is absolutely critical when it comes to day trading.Many instruction guides/books/blogs I've come across says that if you are to day trade properly then you need to go to a firm to day trade, actually go to work at an office....

I had no idea Google even had classes

Ok that makes perfect sense. I know basic has been largely set aside for quite some time now and I always wondered what the point of learning a useless language was... this is the kind of stuff that I am trying to avoid wasting time on.

Got it. I'm already looking into it.

Would a Basic Stamp kit (from Parallax) be similar enough?

Oh, great :-). Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to lend your advice... I can't wait to get started.

Oh ok well that's reassuring because those are three languages I have toyed around with in the past. From a step one scenario (where I consider myself to be), do you have any recommended learning resources?

Where to Start in Computer Science?

Where do I start as a person with an interest in computer science? Obviously this is a vague question, so let me clarify.There are a few things that I have little interest in, like OS, Game Development, and AI. However, Software development, Database design/management, Server administration, Data communication... and that's just what is coming off the top of my head. I've been floundering and...
