i havent rly done any proper coding since i graduated like 6 months ago cos im completely unmotivated. kind of burnt out i guess. the story would be very different if i were actually paid to do it X hours a day. i do still rly enjoy digging my teeth into a problem and am mad into maths+cs+coding but i dont tend to do it in my free time for fun any more. how am i supposed to differentiate myself in the eyes of an interviewer from some useless shitlord that knows nothing

like are there any interviewers out there who will actually give me a pencil + paper and let me play about with ideas and solve some problems rather than asking me about poo poo i dont even remember

all of them

on fbsd you have to compile a broken limited jvm (diablojdk) which i believe the fbsd foundation actually paid money to license, then with that compile the jdk. also you can't install it via packages because you aren't allowed to, and you can't automate it because you have to accept the license file and i believe manually dl the jdk tarball.

actually its the unix thats poo poo. also dont use non-oracle vms

i think diablojdk is a oracle jvm. anyways you can get around all that by just using openjdk? which is by oracle but open source? so whats the difference? idk

ive been doing interviewstreet challenges to learn how to do Real Programming Problems

for some reason, they have support for loving lua, but not javascript. i'm using python instead but still, what the gently caress? ugh.

e: also if anyone can give me hints on the "unfriendly numbers" challenge (not a solution obviously!! i aint no cheater) that'd be nice; i timed out on the last 3 test cases. it really sucks that they don't show you any details about the test cases :(

seriyos question does anyone know why newer gccs link against multiple precision complex number library http://www.multiprecision.org/index.php?prog=mpc

GCC has been integrated with the MPC library. This allows GCC to evaluate complex arithmetic at compile time more accurately. It also allows GCC to evaluate calls to complex built-in math functions having constant arguments and replace them at compile time with their mathematically equivalent results. In doing so, GCC can generate correct results regardless of the math library implementation or floating point precision of the host platform. This also allows GCC to generate identical results regardless of whether one compiles in native or cross-compile configurations to a particular target. The following built-in functions take advantage of this new capability: cacos, cacosh, casin, casinh, catan, catanh, ccos, ccosh, cexp, clog, cpow, csin, csinh, csqrt, ctan, and ctanh. The float and long double variants of these functions (e.g. csinf and csinl) are also handled.

wow this coursera thing looks like a big education product but the design is unmodified twitter bootstrap, rofl

cmon yall even if you ain't a designer you gotta at least change the default font stack or tweak some colors or something

i've talked about this in irc before but i've never seen it used in an actual product this brazenly lol

anyways this looks really cool! thank you for the link.

it doesnt make it any good though. you can change the font to comic sans and it'd be unique

twitter bootstrap looks generic as hell - half of that is because it's used in like half of all new web apps, and half is because it just looks very plain on purpose because it's supposed to be a base to customize

it's about establishing a ~brand identity~ or whatever. i mean the coursera landing page looks pretty great, they just need to get their app's look up to speed

hm.

it says stanford right on the page, idk what you are talking about
