gotta love completely locked down group policy old utility app doesn't run under win7 because it tries to raise a UAC prompt spend enough time debugging it and realise that pre-vista assemblies with "update" anywhere in the file are elevated in case they are an installer remove all the manifest attributes with resource tuner hexedit the assembly to point the c:\program files\blah\blah.dll reference to c:\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\blah\blah.dll

wow, so many students have used logic along the lines of "i used method X to cluster the data as even though it's worse than method Y, it's conceptually simpler and runs instantly on my machine instead of the entire 3 seconds that Y takes" really?? like the APIs of both are really similar but so many of them chose to use the worse one

What makes the way they chose worse than the other? Conceptual simplicity can be useful sometimes.

maybe i'm just an idiot (i am) but I'm under the impression that EM clustering is an extension of k-means and thus more accurate

also most of them are overfitting to the test data so much down to picking the best seed for their RNG

Subjunctive posted:I was interviewing people at FB within a couple weeks of starting. is that supposed to be a bad thing? Even if their job is specifically to interview candidates for other roles, starting to interview people on the same day you start work seems a little premature. Starting to interview people a few weeks in seems fine though, depending on your actual job role, how much prep material and support you can get etc..

Jabor posted:Even if their job is specifically to interview candidates for other roles, starting to interview people on the same day you start work seems a little premature. eh, interviewing people is a pretty portable skill. if you know what kind of signal you can reliably elicit and how to frame your confidence level, then you can do that for any company with decent recruiting practices. (assuming they need the kind of signal that you are good at getting, of course. I wouldn't be good at interviewing researchers or finance people, but developers and product managers and software managers I can do.) actually, I now remember having done a few interviews for a friend who was hiring a VPE for his startup, and I didn't even work there.

do you always quit the first moment something becomes challenging because if you do - and it's understandable if you do, it's v common - it's even more important that you stick this out

coffeetable posted:take the interview sulk. then apply for some more positions you're utterly unqualified for i don't feel so much lost as annoyed because xamarin forms is not particularly cool and good, and as a result i have to come up with a bunch of workarounds to piece elements together. UIs are developed in code, so things get messy rather quickly. if i got anything from the current job thus far it's finally being able to work with a more traditional oop language like c#, though i'm still learning more as i go along. i applied because amazon has an office where i'll be, but there is about a 0.5% chance i'm still there come july of next year so i'll have to quit. i mostly just wanted to work around some people again and there are very few opportunities in the area. i have no cs background and i burn out really quickly when i try to study algorithm books or ones like cracking the coding interview. i understand that there's value in knowing that stuff but it isn't applicable enough to what i'm doing that i need to really care. it sounds like a scapegoat but i also have depression and a lot of stress going on in my life right now which doesn't help. the only reason i'd be asked to do an on-site is because no one wants to live where the office is, so if i seem even 25% competent it might work in my favor. i do hate feeling like an idiot though and looking at their pdf i'm just not mentally ready for most of it. sorry for sounding like a dumb bitch, it's just hard to have people to talk to. for what it's worth it's the merchant team or something like that. i don't know the exact team name but the description has talks about "see more buying choices" and "new and used offers"

you're not getting it. we're saying "it will be good for you to go to the interview, INTENDING to turn them down if they offer it". it doesn't matter if their tech use is poo poo or if they have a weird culture or anything

Ok, you keep bringing this up. Why does this matter? Its Amazon. There's a revolving door for software developers who come in, get Amazon on their resume, then leverage that into a different position. I mean, obviously they want you to stay long term, but its not going to be odd if you're out in a year. Just don't tell them that in the interview. There is no blood pact for working at Amazon.

compiler goes, "hey maybe you don't want to do that" add a thing that you think might solve the problem compiler stops saying anything, but now your program will explode without warning
