Acting like we are different is probably the biggest reason why we will be extinct. Edit: FU hodj for being there first.

I dont see how this is not assumed to be an almost guaranteed outcome. Something like 95% of species have gone extinct? I doubt we are that much different.

The dumb part was VV not cutting his hand with that glass. Good episode otherwise.

Provides no data, demands data. Just lyrical things.

Inflation can be a good thing. We could use some in this country right now, especially if its due to increasing wages. Also your attempt at sarcasm is stupid since the example you picked has nothing to do with what we are talking about. The ditch digging was used as an example of what the...

Nothing about what I said was political. You decided to make it so. As far as inflation, yeah it will cause some demand push inflation. This will lead to increases in supply which means more jobs created. Sure sounds terrible to me. (Of course this will only happen if its implemented all...

Its not so much that current employees will be quitting, its more than new employees will be much harder to hire at min wage rates for non min wage jobs.

ProjectEuler got hacked again for those who use/used it.

I do not see anyone talking about what will happen to current 15 an hour jobs if min wage is raised to 15. Companies will have to start paying more money than now since people wont be willing to get paid the same as burger flippers for complex jobs.

def self.??????????? puts "Calm down, yo." end Just saw on reddit. Valid ruby function

Plyr package probably the way to go with such a thing.

Thats not true

Abby fucking sucks. I hope that dog comes back and rapes her. Hate her character.

Speaking of Cobol. My father in law has been programming in cobol since mid 80s with a 5-6 year break in between. He recently decided to quit and became a realtor. Crazy bastard, so much skill wasted.

Curious why not use Weka and/or Mahout if you are using clojure? Why R?

Its true, R is terribad with large amounts of data, that is what Rcpp is for. The popularity is due to the fact that the packages are unmatched. Python is the second closest language in terms of data related capabilities and its not even close to R in terms of quality/quantity of libraries. R is...

Const correctness differentiates noobs from people with even a tiny bit of c++ skills. Of course it also leads to massive amounts of time spent tracking down a bug if your code is heavy on inheritance. Anyway, its language flame war time! The 2015 Top Ten Programming Languages - IEEE...

And even at conference calls you are discussing paperwork

People have incorrect perception of lawyers due to shit they see on TV. Its 99% paperwork.

It takes skill to be an uglier language than c++. Java has those skills

Its a tad more complicated. Given an array of positive and negative integers, you need to find a continuous subarray with the largest sum.

Some languages might require logic for resizing the underlying container (hence the reference in the instructions to size variable). Maybe thats the point, otherwise it seems kind of silly. Anyway for shit like this i prefer UVa, SPOJ, HackerRank and TopCoder.

I thin elliot is both mr robot and the evil corp ikea guy.

Well that just declares your instance variables, setters and getters so Tuco's issue is still there. Also add me to the list of people enamored with Ruby as well (as of recently)

Cad: They do ask the right questions. No one asks to reverse an array, they ask for code that reverses the array. To get back to my original question, so no one uses shit like red-black trees or tries or succinct trees, etc?

Isnt the whole point of the interview questions to find out how the applicant deals with solving problems? No one cares to see what a reversed linked list is, everyone cares to see if the applicant can write code that reverses a linked list.

Using the reverse_each method wouldnt be very useful if the goal is to see how the engineer uses logic, no? I think the entire purpose of those complicated questions is to see if the person can reason through problems, not so much to see the solution. Also what would you think if the ruby...

I am of an opinion that explicit references to self are terribad so usage of "this" should be minimized as much as possible. However i also dislike the trailing underscore convention but i think its the lesser of two evils. As far as "this" is concerned, if it is required then the dot notation...

http://inventwithpython.com/chapters/ Also edx.org has a few courses that might work.

I was thinking of something a tad more exotic. Curious about anything outside the standard library really.

Sounds like balls. I am sure there are a few corps that are doing something a bit more computationally interesting than database calls.

So i am busy "working" right now while reading through this: Why are programmers in the software engineering job interviews tested on skills similar to a Topcoder contest irrespective of the fact that the skills required in the industry are entirely different? - Quora and I see that a lot...

Relationships are about trust. Nothing else really matters. Once the trust is gone so is the relationship.

We paid for our bridal party's suits and shit. Then a year later one of the my groomsmen was getting married and did not pay for the rented tuxs. I reduced the gift i gave him by the cost of the tux. Fuck that noise.

Smash was awesome (except the jigglypuff boring asshatery).

Yeah i am on fios, if this shit cant be fixed thats really lame.

This game lags like ass every evening for me. Shits unplayable outside of soloing. Anyone had similar issues and found a fix? Around 9-12 eastern time, every night.

Was Casper poisoning the properties he visited to bring down their value so his "partners" can buy it on the cheap? Did the mayor, who was in the police station as they preped for the raid, tip off the mexicans and is he working with the mexicans (and against VV)? Was the ambush purposely set up...
