isn't the point of engineer school to learn practical skills

have you spent much time in conversation with the results of an engineering school?
i mean if you want to talk to them about mechanics or computer thing, great.

just don't ever ever ever ever ever bring discussions about anything else up or this is what happens.

a downside to working in funds these days is that you may end up having to revert to the tech equivalent of stone knives and bearskins in the pursuit of performance; it's all well and good to get a phd in machine learning using high level neurosymbolic processors or whatever but at the end of the day if you're using it for trading you'll end up implementing that bitch in C99 if you're lucky; horrors like fortran and asm are not unheard of and the trend is increasing although thankfully commercial gpu and fpga interfaces are mostly (all?) C-based at the moment

what's up with this thing i hear where there's some freaky server based version of excel that gets used

it depends on who I talk to whether I do it, for offices I know, always, cellphones and offices I don't, no.

soa ftw. I bet amazons service stuff is way cool. Too bad they don't have any ui guys. Maybe they should hire qirex

apparently bezos is a big angry baby who had UI teams in countless times and just kept asking them to change things until they gave him back his old site again and then he was happy

a happy baby

the only thing i've ever done with integration of excel and some other program is excel and solidworks to check out some "generative design" bullshit

some dude was convinced creating 300 varitions with a computer would put the entire design industry out of business and he was so happy

and all it was able to do was create 300 ugly vases.

not to say GDwhatever itself is bullshit, just this one dude's idea of it

It s intrresting and I suppose ID'ers should be a little concerned, but no company like braun or apple is likely to let something like this make them tacky ugly mutants

less thinking and mental filtering while reading the code becasue there aren't as many things all over the place

should be easier to debug too when the computer isn't able to figure out what

[ASK] me about this really depressing theory I have that humans are literally nothing more than bags of water and lookup tables that spend most of their time and resources and life building up one database of i/o but actually only take action when they receive input from another, much smaller and more critical set of inputs

go people watching for a while
