    Hachima is right about CLR via C#. One of the best books you could possibly read if you get into C#. And Hachima, if you were in a program at a university like MIT then yes, you are the .01%. How many developers do you think there are worldwide? How many of them were in a program like that?

    I'm gonna try to set up some split cosmic farming runs tonight to take advantage of the higher chance for rings to drop. Basically full group of 5, each person clears the bounty of their own cosmic, rest of group joins them for boss and everyone gets the chests, makes farming cosmic rings way...

    Spring 2014 Anime Thread

    Did anyone watch the first season of Mushi-shi? I watched the OVA last night (which I guess is for season 2?) on Crunchyroll and enjoyed it, but it seemed like the beginning of the story, not a continuation. Should I watch season 1 first or just start watching season 2?

    Maybe I'm not conveying the point correctly. I do not need to look at people who have no experience with the technology my company uses because there is more than enough talent that does work with that technology out there. Training junior developers is part of the job, teaching them the entire...

    I sense you don't know much about .NET if you think some C developer is going to solve performance bottlenecks in the .NET framework because of his background in memory management. If you need to fuck with the way the CLR handles all that shit (because it's a managed language) on its own you're...

    This makes more sense, though it still sounds like you value a degree too much. I wouldn't expect anyone to just jump into the job application pool as a self trained developer with no real world experience and I wouldn't recommend nate does that. But it looks like you agree a degree is not...

    Hachima you're talking about very specific needs for companies looking to fill very high level roles at very large multi-national companies. The work the students at those schools do and the technology they are exposed to is world class but it's not software development as being discussed in...

    Your problem is you think a technical interview is nothing but stupid syntax questions like "how do you properly construct a loop". Who would ask such a question? That question is completely worthless. "What kind of a loop? a while loop? a foreach loop? a for loop?". "Show me proper use of a...

    No you do not, he is an anomaly as far as I'm concerned.

    The degree is to make the HR dept. at whatever company is hiring you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Most development shops couldn't care less about your degree. They want to tech you out and see what you know. At my last job of the 3 development team managers one had a degree in marine biology, one...

    The funny thing about software development is you definitely do not need a formal education on the subject. Most universities teach dated, legacy technology and a vast amount of the things you do will never be used in the real world. Ever. What takes an entire semester in a classroom setting can...

    There is no reason to learn a scripting language before you jump into OOP.

    Web development is one of the more saturated markets for software work because that's what everyone who wants to be a developer thinks they want to do.

    Mizuno has always made nice clubs but the prices have come up a bit recently. Though the new Callaway iron sets are ridiculously overpriced. I'm in CT, there was snow on the ground.

    Bodyguard and Retaliatory Webbing and the 5% chance to deal high damage every 30 seconds skills are pretty good. Everything else is kind of underwhelming. They want us to pay 600 splinters for these? That's ridiculous.

    I still get a good chuckle every time I come in this thread and read someone telling people that if they don't eat 800g of protein a day their body is going to cannibalize muscle. "Bro, you'll lose weight sure... but it's going to be ALL muscle."

    When you are burning calories you supplement that extra deficit with more carbs. Essentially, if you're trying to stay in ketosis while exercising what you need to do is find your "keto equilibrium" as far as carb intake goes and stay under it by 5-10g of carbs. But it's different for everyone...

    You don't need to even get to a 50/50 split of fat/protein (outside of your intake of carbs) to get into Keto. Keeping your carbs down is the primary focus. Keep it under 20g carbs a day (unless you are exercising) and start at like 65/45 protein/fat split to start. That should work fine.

    You don't need to keep protein below fats to get and stay in ketosis. What's the goal exactly? Just ketosis? Nuts are a great, healthy source of fat. Treat yourself to fatty cuts of meat like pork shoulder ribs and chuck roasts or ribeyes if you can afford it (it can get pricey) three or four...
