Being able to read assembly so you can find out what fun compiler bug have you ran into today is important.

Since I started maintaining non-trivial OSS project I get to fight with a compiler bug every 2-3 months. Not that reading ASM helps  For real, if you are working in language that compiles to native, you should be able to at least muddle through short pieces of ASM. Not sure I'd think of it as a selling point though.

Hed posted:I sat in a presentation to the class where a professor was shocked to learn that student orgs like greek life have test files going back years. I was as surprised that he had never considered changing up his tests. Our program had a wiki. It was common knowledge to anyone who cared, but we never had problems with it, apart from an idiot or two who got hit with plagiarism after copy-pasting explained homework for one course. One of our teachers even curated the page for his course, adding more example question and removing wrong answers. When I asked him, he responded that if this is what it takes to get students to learn, he is game.

MononcQc posted:dude got mad and e-mailed HR with a terribly written quebecois insult e-mail before HR had even reached out to him. Here's my rough translation of it, with fewer typos than the original, but I kept some for the feeling of it: Why though? Like, I can see why someone would be mad at an interview, been there myself (no, I don't do webdev, why are you asking me webdev questions?), but I just shrugged and mentally noted that I don't want to work at the company, without sending dumb emails.

homercles posted:Humblebrag tee hee Maybe. The more important part is that if you expect all of your interviews to be passed by your current employees, you can never hire someone to fill-in missing talent, which would be dumb. My current job/team is a good example, because all of them have academical CS research as their background -- we formed a company separate from university because our last research project had very positive response from industry partner, to the point where they were willing to pay a very competitively paid team to take the project from being research prototype to production ready state. This means that if I grilled them with CS theory (say, the always popular questions about algorithms) I would have to go quite far beyond what is taught in common graduate courses to stump them, but grilling them with stuff about actually shipping a good product would lead to sadness real quick. However, if we start looking for another person it won't be another academic -- we have enough of those already -- but for a person that can actually develop software, and while we will hold him to a higher standard than some of our current members regarding developments, we also won't hold him to the same standards regarding CS research...

ThePeavstenator posted:I remember one of my professors saying that some people have advocated for engineering degrees to take 5 years instead of 4. I've never heard of that outside of that professor so I'm not sure if it's BS, but after going through a pretty tough engineering program it makes sense why. Engineering degree is 5 years over here by default, with the recommended duration being 5.5

JawnV6 posted:i dunno what fantasy world you're in where wage slaves have lawyerbux to even mount a fight against something like that, but jimmy johns had egregious non-competes in their sandwich artist contracts up thru 2016 Europe bitch! This discussion actually caused me to look-up our current laws and I think they are fairly ok: * The maximal non-compete length is 1 year * It cannot be overly broad * The employer has to pay you at least half of your average monthly earnings for the duration.

Yes, but the incentive to fight for more salary for the programmer is kinda low, as they only get a small part of it, and they could instead spend the time/political capital on placing another person and get more money that way.

TheFluff posted:for some international perspective: i'm in stockholm, sweden, making about $63k (USD) before taxes (slightly over 30%). six-ish years of experience, no degree. peanuts by us standards, above 90th percentile here. think roughly $120-130k to equate it to a similar income bracket in the us. no stock or anything, but a deece pension contribution, 6 weeks of paid vacation, unlimited paid sick time, and of course free healthcare and education as well as heavily subsidized prescription drugs (and literal years of parental leave if i ever start a family). i am slightly underpaid though, i had another offer that would have paid 10% better but it was adtech and seemed way more stressful than my current job. very happy where i am. Eastern Europe, so 48k USD and basically the same bennies. --------------- I can confirm that this is extremely true qhat posted:But anyway, I don't use even 90% of the random poo poo I learned in school on a daily basis, but I do use 90% of that random poo poo at some point in my career in ways that I never expected to. Usually when you've got some bug that is stumping everyone else in the office and you remember a random piece of information from Computer Butts 302 back in 2009 and you look like a genius because of it. This is also why people going "but I never used the things I didn't bother properly learning in school" make me mad. How do you even know that you couldn't have used it, if you don't understand it?

FamDav posted:option 2 can also be solved with a DFS, and since we're assuming the graph is acyclic (at least w.r.t. the part we care about) we can memoize results since we know the graph never backtracks. I am just gonna add that this trick is called dynamic programming and is pretty common in similar questions. In theory, you should prove that your problem has properties which make it a valid target of DP (informally that you can find optimal solution for n things by using the optimal solution for n-1 things and the nth thing). In practice, you just get a feel for when it applies
