I recall hearing that restaurants will sometimes take rays and hole-punch them to make "scallops".

Are there actually people going in for interviews that can't Fizz-Buzz? by SuperSloth34in cscareerquestions

[–]DragoonDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I must have gotten lucky on that count. I went to a small university with an even smaller CS department (3 professors, maybe 100 students in the major), but a lot of the classes had a good amount of hands-on programming. The intro classes had frequent coding assignments in C++, the Architecture class had some assembly programming, the Operating Systems class required us to actually write code to handle things like forking and merging and locking and all of the other concepts we were learning about...

I understand that CS isn't just programming, and that the theory side is important, but it seems like some universities are focusing a little too much on the abstract.

[–]DragoonDM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's mostly just a quick way to weed out people who can't handle the basics. If they can't figure out how to write FizzBuzz, then you can probably just wrap up the interview there and save both parties the time and trouble. If they make it over that hurdle, then you can proceed to the more complex challenges.

[–]DragoonDM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print “Fizz” instead of the number and for the multiples of five print “Buzz”. For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print “FizzBuzz”

I'm guessing that, given that description in an interview, you could probably write that pretty quickly and easily, though.

Teen marijuana use falls as more states legalize: "...[T]aking the marijuana trade off the black market, and letting government and law enforcement agencies, rather than criminals, control the marijuana market, will lead to better overall drug use outcomes among teens." by crackie_chanin politics

Couldn't you just get an "every day" prescription and then not actually take them every day?

Witcher 3 dev: "Market is afraid of badly polished games on next-gen" by Dared00in Games

[–]DragoonDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very few studios are willing to to do that, and have publishers willing to let them. In most cases, a poorly performing game will simply be written off and never revisited.

I'm always very impressed when they do take the time to fix a broken game after launch, though. What Square did with FFXIV was particularly impressive, admitting that they screwed up and then essentially remaking the game from scratch.

LPT: It's better to use a "boring" word that's 100% correct than a five dollar word that isn't quite right. by Vaughnicornin LifeProTips

[–]DragoonDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought was in-class essays. I absolutely loath them; I have trouble writing without spell-check, a dictionary, and a thesaurus. Even worse, you can't really go back and edit previous paragraphs when you're writing by hand.

Starting new job, need advice on how to reset my sleep schedule. by Froobyflakein sleep

[–]DragoonDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not the best advice, but what I usually did when this was necessary was just stay up overnight so that I'm dead-tired, then go to sleep earlier the following night (usually earlier than I'm planning to for my intended new schedule, to account for the extra sleep I'll need from being up overnight).

No idea how healthy or effective this is compared to other methods (probably not great), but it worked for me.

TIL a man who attempted to commit suicide changed his mind at the last minute resulting in a chain reaction train wreck killing 11. He was later sentenced to 11 consecutive life sentences. by YouCoolManin todayilearned

The second happiest day in a man's life is the day he buys a boat. The happiest is the day someone steals it and commits suicide in it.

My older brother died of an accidental OD in a restaurant bathroom. One of the employees found him, and was apparently pretty traumatized by it.

What product do you use in a non-conventional way? by BigLegEmmain AskReddit

I do the exact same thing, as did my dad. I was disproportionately excited when I saw them in stores again. I thought they were gone forever.

It literally is. He has a rubber ducky fetish, and has put a considerable amount of time, effort, and money into amassing a collection of porn that happens to include (or feature) rubber duckies. He's posted a compilation video.

Just found this sign in GTA V! by FlumpALumpLumpin gaming

[–]DragoonDM 109 points110 points  (0 children)

In the commentary tracks for Futurama, they mention that any time there are signs in a shot, even if it's just a poster in the background for a few seconds, they'll spend a lot of time just coming up with different ideas. Apparently it's quite fun.

In North Korea, hackers are a handpicked, pampered elite by shredditatorin technology

[–]DragoonDM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't know who downvoted you, but it wasn't me; I agree with you completely. There were a lot of signs that pointed to the involvement of a government. The unprecedented level of sophistication, the massive expense of buying information on the zero-day exploits (or spending the time and effort to discover them), the obvious political motivations... probably more than aren't occurring to me immediately. I think there might have been clues in the program itself, such as naming conventions or something.
