    4 day trip between LA -> SF, Need your help!!! (need more input!)

    Beaches galore all up/down the coast. If you're going through San Luis Obispo on Thursday evening (6-9pm), they close down the main street for Farmer's Market with food, music, etc. Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. Paso Robles has a huge density of vineyards/wineries. There are sand dunes in...

    Best running shoe for under $100

    It all depends on what you are using your shoes for. Is the person jogging a mile two times per week at a 13 minute pace, or running 10 miles at a 7 minute pace three times per week? Road or trail? Are they overweight? Changing engine oil every 3k or 3 months is probably overkill for the...

    Best running shoe for under $100

    If you're serious about it, go to a running store and have them watch you walk (preferably have them video tape you running on a treadmill if they have that kind of setup) to see your gait. Then you find a shoe that supports a pronated/neutral/supinated step. I have also heard from a few sources...

    Colleges and my plan

    If you're interested in that stuff, then you want to focus on Computer Architecture. Keep in mind that those are advanced topics - I learned about those in my first year of grad school, so it will take a few years to really get deep into architecture.

    Anyone work for Google? updated * 12-09

    For technical positions, you will feel out of place with a full suit - go for business casual. They stress that they care more about what you know than how you look, and it's true (unless you really look like a slob). Definitely try to relax, but prepare to be asked everything from low to...

    Full Duplex Wifi Simulation

    FYI I was getting ~5MBps throughput over wireless OR wired when I had an external hard drive hooked up to my router with USB port/NAS. With a separate ethernet-based NAS box I get 60-90MBps sustained over wired, and 20-30MBps sustained over wireless. The router is set up for 802.11n at 5GHz and...

    Best-paying college major: engineering

    As someone who lives in the silicon valley and is close to graduating with an MS in Comp. Eng., 60K is very low by CA standards (wrt graduating with a BS) - average salaries were about 20-40% higher when I was looking 2 years ago (at medium-large sized companies). It all depends on where you...

    Any tips for technical phone interviews?

    I just went through a number of technical whiteboard and phone interviews at some of those "big" companies, and these are some of the resources that helped me: - Programming Interviews Exposed: Secrets to Landing Your Next Job - Steve Yegge's blog - Joel Spolsky's blog - TopCoder...

    C++ help because im terrible at it :(

    Not trying to be an ass, but for this I wouldn't consider it to be an issue of optimization, just more of quality of design. There is a much simpler way to count the frequency characters which I am guessing is what Cogman is alluding to, and is what Common Courtesy posted an outline for. It is...

    When is a good time to get an Internship?

    I had internships after junior, senior, and 1st year grad (went straight to grad school for an MS), and even still I wish I had tried for one after my sophomore year. It's a time when you can try out different companies (do you want to work in a large, medium, small, start-up, what kind of...

    got "paced" by a police officer. ideas:

    This sounds like the Oceano dunes.. if it is, it's a 15mph speed limit because there are no lanes (duh, it's the beach) so you might have cars/trucks going past you on either side, and there are often people walking around on the beach side and ocean side. Map for reference assuming it is Oceano...

    A little help with regular expressions

    "rejects any other number" -- what kind of data are you expecting as input and what is the format of the data? Here's my expression: '^[0-3]$|^0\.5$' This means: At the start of the line (^) there should be a 0, 1, 2, or 3 ([0-3]), and then be the end of the line ($) OR at the start of the...

    I called into work today due to weather.

    Didn't read the thread thoroughly enough to see if this was mentioned (aside from just buying new wheels): Look on a BMW/Z4 forum and buy a set of used stock wheels - they'll likely go for cheap. Then buy good winter tires and only use the winter tires during the winter, swap the performance...

    Cool Illusion

    It's an animated gif - there are multiple frames embedded in the one image. If you take any image and desaturate the color (make it grayscale), and also invert the colors on the original image (blues -> oranges, reds -> greens, etc.) you'll get the same effect like this image shows.

    Piezo transducer/disc and some LEDs

    See what kind of voltage/current the transducer can generate, and also look at the voltage/current the LED requires. The 5mm LEDs I have a turn on voltage around 2.0V and take around 25mA of current, but this varies for LEDs particularly between different colors. Use Ohm's law (V=IR; Voltage...
