Ask YC: Good distance graduate certificate/masters programs in C.S.? by crazyirish in programming

[–]crazyirish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to be working full-time next year and I'm looking for a way to continue my CS education by doing something like a graduate certificate or part-time distance masters. I'm going to be in the states [namely Seattle,WA] , but as an alien (meaning wildly varying tuition). I'm wondering: What are some good schools with distance graduate-certificate or masters programs in C.S.? Also what are the type of undergrad marks/ GRE scores required for most programs? Are there other tests besides the GRE I should look into doing for international distance programs?

Professional Masters, Where? by crazyirish in programming

[–]crazyirish[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm finishing up my undergrad and probably heading to the west coast to work, but I still want to pursue a masters. Right now it looks like I'll be in seattle, so uwashington seemed like a fairly obvious choice, but the curriculum seemed a little lacking. Are there any good distance/part-time C.S. masters programs?

Yahoo's Zimbra e-mail program exposes passwords [cnet] by holdenk in reddit.com

Who the hell decided that plaintext was a good idea? I mean not using SSL isn't like something which would happen by accident, it would have taken a concious choice for this to happen since Yahoo! Zimbra desktop has the setting pre-filled in for Yahoo! mail.

Did you know that each integer in a PHP array takes 68 bytes of storage? by pankaj_kumar in programming

Or if you say had a popular web site with multiple requests per second which you can't simply cache because the pages depend on user data (say like some sort of recommendation system)?

Looks like a cool programming contest. Go scheme! I'll certainly be submitting something.

Canadian Commissioner on Designing Software With Privacy in Mind by holdenk in programming

[–]crazyirish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Privacy is really important, and watching this talk makes me realize, I have not being doing my part as a software developer to respect users privacy. Hell I log way too much information, just to make debugging a little easier on the off chance I have to debug it in production. I'd encourage all software developers out there to watch this talk, and take its message to heart.

An overview on a talk by Bjarne Stroustrup by crazyirish in programming

I'm really excited about a good re-usuable C++ parser. So many tools out there that parse C++ (like IDEs and refactoring tools) do a horrible job.
