Tal Raviv — Being a Developer Makes You Valuable. Learning How to Market Makes You Dangerous
Being a Developer Makes You Valuable. Learning How to Market Makes You Dangerous I love engineering, and not just because I’m a nerd. The best part of engineering isn’t the technical details or the particular science behind it, rather, it’s the opportunity to solve an unfairly hard problem in a way no one has before. The harder the problem the more exciting it is. As a chemical-turned-software engineer, I can say the thrill is the same.
Vim, you complete me
Ever watch someone else type at a shell, spelling out every filename, even making typos and fixing them, very slowly? "Hit tab!", you yell, helpfully. I do that when watching someone use vim.
The Data Visualization Beginner’s Toolkit #2: Visualization Tools
(Note: if you are new to this series, the DVBTK doesn’t teach you how to do visualization. Rather it is meant to help people find a less chaotic and more effective path towards the acquisition of the necessary skills to become a data visualization pro. To know more, make sure to read the introduction to the series first.) The DVBTK #1 introduced books and study material to make sure you acquire the right knowledge in the right order. Studying is the first step and there’s no level of practice that can substitute for it. That said, it is extremely important to realize that good visualization cannot happen without practice.

Smooth Voxel Terrain (Part 2) « 0 FPS
Last time we formulated the problem of isosurface extraction and discussed some general approaches at a high level. Today, we’re going to get very specific and look at meshing in particular. For the sake of concreteness, let us suppose that we have approximated our potential field by sampling it onto a cubical grid at some fixed resolution.
Teaching my 5 year old daughter to code…
So I decided to try and teach my 5 year old daughter some basic logical thinking and development principals. My little girl's shown a keen interest in what I do for a job amongst other things recently. She's a great reader and writer for her age and so I started looking around for a simple scripting language or similar that I could teacher her. Now the thing to remember about kids is this, no matter how smart they are they all have the attention span of a gnat! 3 seconds max, if it's not interesting then they're not interested, period! This limited my scope significantly.
15-Year-Old Maker Astronomically Improves Pancreatic Cancer Test
Maryland young maker Jack Andraka isn’t old enough to drive yet, but he’s just pioneered a new, improved test for diagnosing pancreatic cancer that is 90% accurate, 400 times more sensitive, and 26,000 times less expensive than existing methods. Andraka had gotten interested in pancreatic cancer, and knew that early detection is a challenge. He gleaned information on the topic from his “good friend Google,” and began his research. Yes, he even got in trouble in his science class for reading articles on carbon nanotubes instead of doing his classwork.
