Well, you're wrong. Python has almost exactly the same syntax as the "C-style" languages, with the exception that it doesn't delimit expressions with semicolons and it uses whitespace instead of curly braces to delimit code blocks.

Not really my concern. Bain doesn't take my money by force.

What I have a problem with is the government picking the winner. We will never know who would have succeeded and who would have failed if these loans hadn't happened.

There is this notion in education in general that to program a computer you need advanced mathematical skills. Part of that is propagated by the keepers of the code that want to protect their jobs.

But it's a lie - always has been. You only need really basic algebra and perhaps know a little about binary and…

That made me laugh because I did compare startists (that's what I call people who are resistant to Metro) to the old school mentality who prefer terminals over GUI's.

Kim Dotcom is a douchebag.

So very true. this is what differentiates a computer scientist and a code monkey. This is the difference between an exceptional engineer and a good one.

Why do Facebook and now Twitter insist on using SMS to send a code, I'd much rather prefer the use of Google Authenticator.

A list in the stupid article is better than trying to figure out "kinja" it is stupid to put content in the comments.

In my current job (IT development), there's no such thing as a dress code. The COO sits less than 20ft from me (I regularly hear him swearing at people on conf calls). There's two managers within the same radius, and they're only 2-3 steps down the managerial ladder from the COO. We don't have deadlines, we pick &…

I'm preparing to exit college in about a year with a BS in Comp Sci. The corporate culture and dress code is high on my list of requirements for potential jobs. I want to work for a "fun" company, and will absolutely refuse to work a job that requires a suit and tie. I have to be comfortable to work efficiently and I…

I'm at a software company and we never see clients at our office, so there's no dress code. Our CEO will wear a t-shirt and jean most days. Today I'm in cargo shorts and a t shirt.

I've read before that there have been studies that found that when people dress professionally they are more likely to act professionally. I can't seem to find any corroborative scientific evidence, but anecdotally people I've worked with in environments without a dress code were more likely to goof off, less…

I work in IT support at a bank. Typically, my manager doesn't mind if I'm in shirt and jeans because I'm behind the scenes anyways. As you get promoted up and you're interacting with more senior level people, that's when I would start dressing more formally. As always, take cues from the people around you (unless…

Just paint all the walls with horizontal motion streaks so it feels like you're perpetually racing.

the plant had thousands of kilograms of ammonium nitrate and most of them are in probably open containers. if water makes contact with the powder, they become a solution that will freeze. like water ice, the solution will solidify and bulge then they tear the container. once ammonium nitrate is exposed to the heat of…

huh, i thought it was the firefighters and volunteers(?) who accidentally blew up the plant after spraying water on ammonium nitrate??
