… I'm hoping to find a few other software developers that want to meet periodically for a couple hours to study for technical interviews. For the first meetup (if it's not too many people) I'll rent a space somewhere around Midtown Manhattan. Somewhere with a proper whiteboard. And maybe I'll rent a space for later meetups as well. That's assuming, of course, that the group membership actually grows beyond just myself.

In game development, it means modeling physics and interactions. In social networks, it's representing friends and "likes" in the social graph. For artificial intelligence, it's creating a picture of perceptions and decisions. In human systems, it's about modeling workf …
