If by "theoretical math guy" you mean i believe that theory should be taught instead of computations, then yeah, thats me. If you mean "theoretical math" to say "pure math" then no, not really. My interests are definitely more applied. The reason i always bitch about computations is because when...

Condos, in what used to be ghettos in brooklyn and queens, are selling for 500-600k for 450 sq foot studios.

When someone say they enjoy math, for example Troll a few posts above, they arent talking about arithmetic. That shit aint math.

That shit aint math.

Solutions are generally worthless for upper level math classes. What solutions are they going to give you when you are writing proofs? Defeats the entire purpose.

Could be worse. They could have you using Matlab. Ugh.

Pass the bong please.

Sacrilege!

Its on CC demand right now. Pretty sure its uncensored there.

Ruby is a recent addition to my hobbies. I primarily use Python (will be going balls deep into c++ over the summer as I have to do a bit of research in computational topology and c++ has decent libraries for it) Anyway, I wanted to write a few websites in my off time but hated the shit out of...

Personally I always hated the thought of paying a large amount of money for what I consider to be an appliance. A complicated appliance but an appliance nonetheless. Can my infiniti get me to my destination the same way a benz can? Yes? Then why pay more?

I am sure the guys here that use Ruby full time will tell you that things have improved in the last 4-5 years.

I am with you. I am not a big fan of hand waving to produce "magic" (I mentioned as much a few posts back). Having said that, programming anything when you dont understand wtf is going on is going to take 10 hours of googling. I dont think its limited to Ruby. The benefit of ruby/rails is the...

If gays discriminate against straight people, the party discriminated against should be afforded legal remedies that are currently being denied to gay individuals under this new Indiana law. That is, the people being discriminated against should be allowed to sue the party doing the discrimination.

Its both. Lots of hand waving in Ruby/Rails. But with Ruby you can code something up in a fraction of the time it takes to do same in Java or C++. As far as scalability, lets just say not every company is Twitter and its not an issue.

Welcome to the light side.

I wouldnt be so sure. Hobby Lobby opened up the flood gates to this shit.

I like the smaller size as well. I disliked the size of Surface 3 Pro. Was a bit too unwieldy for a tablet.

I employ 2 attorneys and 95% of my clients are attorneys. Most do their best to represent clients without any prejudices.

Lawyers represent their clients without prejudice. Just because clients are douche bags does not mean the lawyers representing them are. Chuck is just a scum bag, nothing to do with being a lawyer.

Some people are not crazy about the "magic" of higher level languages. Personally I find that learning c/c++ as a first language allows one a much deeper understanding of the higher level languages like ruby. The abstraction in such languages always bothers me as I prefer to understand what the...

Well we really dont know what skills Jake has. He says he is better than most others on his team so i am assuming proficiency in 2-3 languages and a solid knowledge of data structures and a rudimentary understanding of complexity analysis (i dont think these assumptions are a huge leap). This...

I realize that. I didnt read his entire post and jumped to conclusions. I mentioned that earlier. I am dumb, Lyrical is right. I cant agree with this. Unless he is in some specialized field, a generic CS degree is not useful once one has experience. Jake said he has 2 years experience in...

I dunno, I would never advise anyone to enter into a contract without an attorney in NY. Contracts can have plenty of gotchas in them. But RE agents, unless required, are fucking useless unless required.

Looks like he did. I only read the first paragraph. Whoops. Yup, you were right.

What you said is how awesome you are for getting a business degree and how important that degree is for getting a good job. So yeah I am totally repeating what you said.

That part is correct. I called him stupid because i am not that other shit that he said. Anyway, experience trumps degrees with programmers. If Jake wants more money, he needs to brush up on his interviewing skills (lots and lots of data structures) and then switch jobs a few times. Degree not...

Did you miss the part where whatever you did at a corp has nothing to do with the field that jake is in so comparing the ability to get job offers between the two is relegated to the realm of the retarded?

And what does any of that have to do with software development? I wonder, did they teach you about supply and demand in business school? Because here is a tip, the demand for semi decent developers, or better, is through the roof and way outpaces the supply. Anyone with a few years of experience...

Keep in mind lyrical prunes trees and knows zero about software development

I am not adamant about it. Just having a conversation. There is zero difference between the two.

My comment was strictly limited to the realm of c/c++ since that is what tuco programs in according to him. As far as I know, and I really don't, !pointer is idiomatic in c.

The curse of ham is a gift that keeps on giving. I remember my rabbi trying to force that shit onto the class. People laughed at his face. Glad my yeshiva was mostly heathens like me forced there by retarded, public school terrified parents.

If I wanted to watch Bet I would watch Bet. Whitmore is nothing but black news and jokes, this guy probably will be the same. Let's hope not but yeah.. Looks like the only entertaining thing on Cc on Is @midnight

You can try oDesk and eLance and see if you can get a decent developer to make this shit for you. Or at least get another quote. Do avoid the middle eastern/eastern european developers on those websites if they have no recommendations. Also remember, the cheapest is not the best. Having said...

Switch jobs. Your years of experience and projects worked on are more important than some degree at this point. (unless you work in a very specialized field, then you are SOL). Your problem has been solved.

So Angie's List is canceling a 40 million dollar expansion in Indiana and is dropping hints about moving out of state. Republicans are good for business! Angie's List Withdraws Campus Expansion Proposal Due to Passage of Religious Freedom Bill (:ANGI) Angie's List canceling Eastside...

I bet the hardest part of the LSAT for you was the logic games.

You know whats sad? Some state out there allowed Tad to practice law.

HMM. Tad:Itszena = a_skeleton_03:Genius ???
