What is a "a 200 Euro guitar and a 250 Euro amplifier" setup that you recommend? Honest question.

It seems this is aimed at young people learning how to program. My main problem with using Javascript as the first programming language to learn is the asynchronous callback paradigm, I believe it's too complicated a concept to teach in the very beginning (and you can't get around that with Javascript).

When I evaluated different languages / environments to start teaching programming to my daughters I decided not to use Javascript because of that, chose Python instead (and now I'm also considering making games with Roblox, which is based on Lua. The dev environment is quite complex but with supervision Lua is a nice & simple programming language)

My math teacher was in love with the Euler's identity written like this: 1+e^(i*pi) = 0

He said it relates the most important numbers and constants of the universe. He had it embroidered and framed on his office wall

It is not #3, if we believe what they say in the study:

"The test had a 98.3% specificity and 100% sensitivity"

I.e. only 1.7% likelihood of false positives

EDIT: And no case was missed

Nice story! I'd love to try do exactly the same, did you have to move to Cambridge for your CS PhD?

For context, I have a graduate diploma from the Judge business school, but that was a semiresidential program that allowed me to live in my country.

The title is misleading. Alternative correct title: "Spanish judge orders to take down Github repository"

Hi Eric, are you using the Lean Startup methodology to develop this? It seems to me you're trying to solve a very big problem directly, and there is less room for iteration... Would you say that when the LTSE opens in 2018 it is an MVP and iteration will start?
