You are required to give 4 classes a year. If you give 2 in the Autumn and 2 in the winter you have your summer free.

That's not a bad system. However, I have to grade on the paper directly and I don't want a computer near me if possible when I correct. Too many distractions. I just grade each question then I add them all up if I predict the grade is gonna

Linux and Zed Shaw have the best rants. All the others are disappointing :P

yea, I never said that. I was just describing what the vacations are. If you think that they don't do research you are partially right because of a lot them don't do it after their permanent status.

I just woke up from an all-nighter of correcting exam papers for my professor here. I'm being paid $15 an hour to grade all the homework assignments and the exams. I'm a regular teaching assistant at my university, I can usually handle the

Guido van Rosseum left Google a while ago because he was annoyed they weren't using Python enough! Python is a nice language but I don't think it's the language of the decade. The langage of the decade is something that has been used from 2

What you say is true. But the way the human memory works makes the PHP library thing a non-issue. Even if it's badly designed, even if it's not well made, you will probably remember it in the same time frame. Maybe a little slower but not m

I agree with you and I like your last point. It is indeed a problem that we have many languages and many libraries when many of them do the same thing. One big library to rule them all. Some day we will have that. There will be many algorit

These are very good optimisations indeed. Inlining adds a lot more speed than people think. I don't understand why people want closures in their languages. You basically want a function that cheats her own scope... I don't get where the bi

In my last remark I am not entirely right but you get the idea. Microsoft employs almost 100 000 individuals and most of them are US taxpayers. If you give them a big contract, it's good for the company, good for jobs in the US and it stimu

I think too. It's funny you mention PKD because he sold Paycheck $200 and another only $2500 http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.12/philip.html

He really doesn't like the movies Peter Jackson made? Shit. Other authors weren't so lucky with their movies... The LOTR series is a real success.

I don't mind him charging that price to - Lawyers - Dentists - Doctors - Notarys But charging $1000/h for making trivial things is making the rest of us look bad. Especially when people do projects with 10000000 times the difficulty... for

College is a great place to make friends, bond with other intelligent people and learn of course. Even though when you reach some point, you have to do all the learning by yourself with books and articles anyway... If you were Canadian / Fr
