in my experience of doing actual programming for money, big O notation is something talked about in interviews and literally nowhere else. i've never heard a programmer mention big O while actually doing a job for the minority of roles where writing high performance algorithms is a core requirement, maybe it's a thing, but we simply leave those roles to the math nerds who, for some unknown reason, love that poo poo ~on the other topic~ it is folly for an ex-smoker to opine to other would-be ex-smokers about the "right way" to quit, because different people are different my partner quit smoking 2 years ago after smoking for 25 years. she hasn't had a cigarette since, and she will never touch one again, but she misses them ALL THE TIME, even now, even though she understands exactly how they played on her reward mechanisms

hbag posted:i mean ill need to figure it out so i can actually pass interviews right i can't really answer that because i haven't interviewed anywhere in a long time but as an anecdotal data point, we don't mandate that type of bullshit where i work. if your job will be pushing react components around a page, we ask about that; if you job will be building api endpoints, we ask about that. we'll certainly touch on performance but we're not going to ask anyone to express something in big O notation specifically, though they can if they really want to idk what others are doing now please, lets return to talking about the joys of smoking and the myriad medical problems that can be treated with a delicious cigarette, which is what this thread is about if i'm remembering correctly...?

git apologist posted:i remember when smoking in bars was banned in nz and one weekend clubs were like smokey mysterious cool kids zones and the next they were revolting miasmas of fart, sweat, vomit, and piss aromas same thing happened here, ruined bars for me. the smoke haze did a lot of heavy lifting for the atmosphere wait a second, these aren’t sexy, mysterious strangers, they’re a bunch of drunk, depressed burnouts e: sorry, i shouldn’t sign my posts

fart simpson posted:same thing happened here and it made bars a lot better for me. the smoke haze smelled terrible and stuck to my hair and clothes so i'd have to go home and shower before bed and throw my clothes in the washing machine or i could still smell the cigarettes in my bedroom the next morning well i was in my late 20s when it happened here, so i still didn’t mind being the disgusting bar sleaze, just acknowledging that that was who i was hanging out with of course if i’m being totally honest, and aren’t we all, i was not a huge bar person to start with so it wasn’t much to give up, and my partner was a smoker then so the smell would be coming home with us regardless

i’ve never been probed in my account’s relatively short lifespan, and i’m sure calling attention to that fact will do nothing to change it
