Yeah, I think there's a certain width you need to meet before growing vertically is comfortable. A 16:10 12.5" screen I have is wide enough. A 4:3 14" screen I had was barely wide enough. Once you hit that threshold, going taller is bette

.run() is also bad. What connection is it being run on? The most recently opened connection? In a global variable somewhere? For anything larger than a short script, you should use query.run(conn), or conn.run(query).

Meanwhile, plenty of TN screens are fine -- the 15.6" FHD 95% NTSC gamut screens floating around out there are great, the 13.1" FHD screens on the Vaio Z were great, and meanwhile many IPS screens have a shimmer effect when you move your he

But any reasonable person should be able to answer the speed of sound question. After all, the rule of thumb for estimating lightning distance is that every 5 seconds is 1 mile. Reciting a definition is no better than reciting a string of

Wow, that's so deep. And here I thought computing devices came with a free lunch.

I use Dvorak for shortcuts. They're fine. The Emacs shortcuts are better, actually.

You get less overhead by using less often the low-level concurrency primitives that involve cross-core synchronization. Cross-core synchronization happens in rethinkdb mainly when you see an on_thread_t object constructed or destroyed (and

I didn't love him. I didn't dislike him or anything, he's a nice person, but most of my other CS professors were better teachers than he was. His lecturing style was dry and boring, and his selection of course material and assignments was

It depends on how introspective they are. Some people with horrible personalities are able to think critically about things after the fact. It doesn't take a stubborn ego to have a bad personality. You could, for example, have a bunch of

I don't think this is called "hacking." It's called job-hunting.

Why not just say O(n)?

by shrughes 14y ago

Huh? I'm not twisting the definition, and my comment isn't benefiting anybody. You make no sense. You're an idiot and should get the fuck o--KIDDING! I'm not sure why you bothered replying to me other than to play the "I am more mature t

The word "bullying" implies repetition. And that's not the only aspect missing from its definition in his posting.

It's not bullying.

Your post is missing the asterisk in the key listing -- it ended up italicizing the text.

Get a paid internship. Paid internships exist (all over the place). Game development paid internships do too. You have more options than those two, those are just the ones you've found.
