DrorY··on My girlfriend who's an MD wants to learn how to program. How should she start?
Yeah, it's possible, If that's the case can you recommend any top notch books for absolute beginners?
DrorY··on My girlfriend who's an MD wants to learn how to program. How should she start?
yeah, I think it's the major reason for her fearing this field

While this is true, it seems as though Matlab is the tool used for her work at her laboratory, she needs to join an already going project.
DrorY··on My girlfriend who's an MD wants to learn how to program. How should she start?
What would be the closet thing to Matlab she could learn in codehs? (Similar syntax similar core concepts)

Do you have any plans of adding Matlab anytime soon?

DrorY··on My girlfriend who's an MD wants to learn how to program. How should she start?
Do you teach Matlab specifically? This can be an excellent B'day gift.
DrorY··on Ask: How do I memorize mathematical proofs for my calculus exam?
what's the name of the program?

Very impressive, however I fear that he doesn't cover specifically the issue of learning by heart theorems.
DrorY··on No Studying After 5pm: Using Parkinson’s Law to Kick Procrastination’s Ass
I'm sorry but I can't see how this is applicable for my situation. What kind of studies are you talking about? University (First degree)? Second degree ? High School? I've just started my first year of computer science and mathematics. I study all day long and still don't find time for anything else. Also, try adding a girlfriend or a spouse to the equation. With all the positive sides of it, it adds a lot of distractions during the day that you can't control.

Great Idea! I could send photos this way to my parents. good job!
DrorY··on Ask: My girlfriend is much smarter than I, how do I manage?
I am not sure she's more motivated than I. Perhaps she got better abilities to focus on tasks. She's truly an exceptional person with an exceptional range of abilities.
DrorY··on Ask: My girlfriend is much smarter than I, how do I manage?
at times I do get intimidated

well I answered runjake question with my definition of smarts. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4502503
DrorY··on Ask: My girlfriend is much smarter than I, how do I manage?
heh, thanks for the grammar corrections. I fear I am not a native English speaker though. In my mother tongue I write better (I so as hell hope so anyways).
DrorY··on Ask: My girlfriend is much smarter than I, how do I manage?
I don't have a problem working with people who are smarter than me. I work with them quite often actually. The problem is when it comes to an intimate relationship. I actually do not think we are on the same level. I think that my level is quite alright, but she very much tops it.
DrorY··on Ask: My girlfriend is much smarter than I, how do I manage?
this is genius. Do you a link to the article perhaps?
DrorY··on Ask: My girlfriend is much smarter than I, how do I manage?
That's a cute idea actually. I just hope she won't comment about my looks. I really hope there's something else there :)
DrorY··on Ask: My girlfriend is much smarter than I, how do I manage?
She's capable of studying any new topic much faster than I. Even topic that she has no experience in and I have been working on for several years. She's doing an MD in Medicine and a bsc in computer science simultaneously. She's also a Marathon runner and a quite successful artist.
DrorY··on Ask: My girlfriend is much smarter than I, how do I manage?
It feels threatening knowing that your partner is always right, and thereby when you argue makes you always (mostly) wrong.

It also feels threatening knowing that she's capable of doing whatever it is you're doing just better.

DrorY··on Ask: My girlfriend is much smarter than I, how do I manage?
Well I don't think that any of us is very dominant. We don't have dominant personalities either.

I do know that when we debate she's very dominant as she always seems to better know or understand the issue than me.

DrorY··on Ask: My girlfriend is much smarter than I, how do I manage?
I appreciate this wake up call. I don't think I have problems accepting criticism and I think I deserve it here.
DrorY··on Ask: My girlfriend is much smarter than I, how do I manage?
no, it wouldn't. I don't feel it's a problem now, as I feel enough self value in what I am doing. I fear it might evolve into a problem if at some point along the road I won't feel that satisfaction in whatever it is I am doing
DrorY··on Ask: I've been approached by a fortune 500 company. How much should I charge?
Good points. I am not a native English speaker myself. I am afraid that I will be too upfront. Can you think of any terms or phrases I can use here?
DrorY··on Ask: I've been approached by a fortune 500 company. How much should I charge?
Good ideas. I was thinking of charging per success rate. My application increases exposure over several social channels. If my application is successful in providing them what they're looking for I am sure they'll be willing to pay for that value. I am not sure that on first glance they'll trust my app enough to pay a straight on high sum. What is your take on this?
DrorY··on Laser-powered bionic eye gives vision to the blind
I see that the video is from 2010. Is there anything newer since?
DrorY··on Ask: iOS question - border that rotates with view but doesn't scale with it?
Thank you very much for your response. Specifically it seems as though using the transformations will cause my border to scale as well. And since I am using UIPinchGestureRecognizers, manipulating the CALayer's width and height properties seems somewhat conter productive.

DrorY··on Ask: I develop Facebook applications. How much should I charge per hour?
well, I need the money now. It will take another several months until I'll be able to monazite my application.
DrorY··on ask: My internal startup tool is more successful than my product
The tough thing is attracting people to a simple landing page. Google adsense won't even let you advertise a plain landing page.
