Really what im saying is are humans webscale?

Hammerite posted:watching americans talk about these things is weird because they say things like "oh calculus 2 was my favourite calculus" and expect you to know what the hell calculus 2 is. are your mathematics courses really totally 100% uniform across every institution in the whole country or what eh no solving math problems on computers sucks unless matlab can solve it for you in which case it owns there's a huge class of problems someone with 2 years of uni math can solve or model easily in matlab so long as you know how to find and avoid the problem areas where the solutions break down, for anything else just hire a mathematician tbh

Until I did and he realised he'd been told a bunch of crap by people who didn't have the faintest idea what I did all day. It has been fun keeping up with the place, I may have been the last person with any idea what was going on to have left the company (yay, legacy code, legacy code the founders get all prissy about because they wrote it (which they didn't, most of their code is long gone)). Now the oldest member of the team I was on is 24.

when I was 17 I worked for a dickhead guy at a cj shop and he fired me after I didn't charge some old man another $130 for some five-second fix and the company fell apart a few months later and dude had just gotten married and had a baby and had a loan on a hummer h3. owned.

FuckItJS Javascript Error Steamroller FuckItJS uses state-of-the-art technology to make sure your javascript code runs whether your compiler likes it or not. Technology Through a process known as Eval-Rinse-Reload-And-Repeat, FuckItJS repeatedly compiles your code, detecting errors and slicing those lines out of the script. To survive such a violent process, FuckItJS reloads itself after each iteration, allowing the onerror handler to catch every single error in your terribly written code. Installation Include jQuery, because everything requires jQuery Include "fuckit.js" The End API FuckIt(path_to_your_shitty_script_file) This will keep evaluating your code until all errors have been sliced off like mold on a piece of perfectly good bread. Whether or not the remaining code is even worth executing, we don't know. We also don't particularly care. FuckIt.noConflict() Are you using two different FuckIt libraries? gently caress it, use FuckIt.NoConflict. Of course, this won't really help since FuckItJS reloads itself multiple times and will continually overwrite the global FuckIt variable, but hey... at least you can feel like you're doing something smart. Browser Compatibility Really? Really? FAQ 1) Is this a good idea? Of course not. This is quite possibly the worst javascript plugin ever written. 2) Isn't "eval" evil? See Question #1.

For one of my final projects before I get my degree I have to learn a "weird" language and do a big report that compares and blah blah blah with examples. The suggested languages are Clojure, Erlang, Go, Groovy, and Scala. I can ask for approval to do any language though as long as it's an actually language so no HLA or forth or some poo poo like that. what is the most YOSPOS language?

erlang is definitely the most yospos, but scala actually seems p cool and maybe even useful

They're "weird" in the sense that once you actually get a job you'll be writing Java for SAP in a cubicle for the rest of your life.
