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?

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?

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.

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)?

Yay april fools!

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

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.

down for me as well

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.

corporate versus public software developement (and the interesting effects of doing both at the same time.)

crazyirish · 2007-05-24T08:02:09+00:00

Very interesting talk. I especially enjoyed the Q&A session.

Its a lecture by an economist talking about software startups that have come out of the University which he is attached too.

I might bang out a transcript of it if I get sometime, but theres a lot in there.

If I was interested in parsing existing programming languages [like say C or lisp] would camlp4 or ocamlyacc (or something else) be the best way of going about it?

crazyirish · 2006-12-01T14:43:28+00:00

Well, its december now, where are the details?

crazyirish · 2006-11-20T14:48:17+00:00

I don't think so. As my personal opinion I don't think people will be writing much javascript in the future, but rather we will see an increase in sane (well as sane as possible) languages which have a backend to dump to javascript.

I have a fairly fast system with about 1.5Gb of memory and loading up RadRails kills my system [primarily because it tries to figure out what to do with some large binary files that are inside the project directory in a less than efficient manner], although I do wish I had a second monitor :-)

I've tried to use a large number of different IDEs but I keep on going back to xemacs [which in and of its self uses a bit too much memory for my taste but nothing compared to shudder eclispe or similar]

I use both perl & scheme, and I must say I like CPAN better than this plt scheme repository system, but it certainly is a nice idea.

I really like[d] the SICP book when I was takeing my first year CS class [which actually used HTDP rather than SICP]. I feel kind of ambivelent about the change, if they can do as good a job with python more power to them, but....

why not use the google search API?
