true story this indian intern at work has latched on to me as the go-to guy for help about unix and basically how to do his job half the time which is cool but annoying but he started asking me a million questions about how to use Awk so I ended up just walked over to his desk and sliding over my copy of the O'reilly Awk/Sed book and told him to read it.

That was a week ago and today he came to me about a quarter of the way thru it (I'm proud) and asked me about some typographical error and wondered if it was part of the syntax he was misunderstanding.

At least he is thorough.

perl's great


quote:

To reanimate the program, its parse tree must be reconstructed. This phase exists only if code generation occurred and you chose to generate bytecode. Perl must first reconstitute its parse trees from that bytecode sequence before the program can run. Perl does not run directly from the bytecodes; that would be slow.

seriously programming perl owns

quote:

Basically, it's easier to run an economy where you assume everyone owns what they own, rather than assuming that everyone owns everything. Not that people aren't expected to share in a capitalist economy, or peculate[1] in a communist economy. These things tend toward the middle. Socialism happens. But with large groups of people, sharing everything by default only works when you have a "head chef" with a big meat cleaver who thinks he owns everything.

[1] peculate: v.i., to swipe the People's Property from the commons in the middle of the night; to embezzle from the public something that is not necessarily money (~L. peculiar, "not common"), cf embrace, extend, GPL.

Of course, the actual government of any computer is run by that fascist dictator known as the operating system. But a wise dictator knows when to let the people think they're capitalists--and when to let them think they're communists.

Don't get me wrong, I love learning poo poo and it rules. It's just that it seems a crapload of people come out with a CS degree and end up being code janitors and never need more math or algorithms than using cross-multiplication and stdlib algorithms, then go 'welp' at their education because 90% of the work is making sure business rules are implemented right, then 5% is politics and 4% is arguing about indentation. The remaining 1% is filling your time sheet.

If you get to work on fun stuff relevant to your studies, then it rules.

well i've been working fulltime for the university as a dev for almost a year, and tbh that't hasn't exactly called for much of the algorithm or math knowledge I learned. It's an entry level job though and also I don't pay tuition.

I'm probably going to stay here and get a masters while it's free, mostly because I want to, also maybe that would be useful in getting a more interesting job down the line.
