Since the school I attended had this thing with their career services. They'd help you but only for 6 month immediately after graduation. After that they'd start charging for their services. In my case the problem was my depression(admittedly self diagnosed) didn't really let up for more than a year after I graduated and I was a little bummed out that they basically weren't going to help after making me depressed in the first place.(Since I pretty much wasn't in the condition to even be able to use the services at first.) So to state it more succinctly they were will to help for free students who didn't need the help.(IE student who had a job before or up to 6 months after graduation) If you needed the help, oh you had to pay for it. (Did I mention it was a private school so they charged up the wazoo in the first place? Admittedly back then things weren't as expensive as now but even I paid more than I would have expected.) It was of course self defeating since one of the things they accomplished in the end was to convince me to never donate a dime to them ever. (I always get a cheap laugh when they send their stupid fund raising letters, pleading with me to donate to them when I know I never will. Karma is a bitch, but it does make me think I should donate to the state university again.)
I mean I thought there was a study a few years ago that basically pointed out a CEO is more likely to be a literal psychopath than would be expected when compared to the general population.
I always harp about this but in a couple of years there will probably be a game that requires that much power. However by that time there will be a $150 card that can run it.
By American beef. If you actually read the report from the CDC the 3 people diagnosed in the US all are believed to have been infected when they were living outside of the US. (If I remember correctly 2 were British and it's expected they were infected when they lived in the UK and the 3rd was a Saudi that got infected in Saudia Arabia.) IE worry more about dying from bad spinach or contaminated tap water.
I mean the article isn't very clear but I wouldn't think you'd need embryonic stem cells for this. I'd think a hematopoietic stem cell should work since they're the ones that turn into Killer-T cells. Anyway that's what they're transplanting when they give you a bone marrow transplant. Admittedly bone marrow transplant is basically one of the most dangerous medical procedures they can do to you so hopefully this means they'll be able to do a safer version of this transplant. Hey, any medical researchers here to let us know which kind of stem cell they're talking about?
To me, proper programming is and exercise in minimalism--get the most work you can out of the simplest and least least amount of code.
You're really on to something there but there's at least one other part to this minimalism. You shouldn't be asked to implement stuff nobody is going to use. (A little different than your last sentence.) I mean at multiple companies I've been asked to implement something that either I realized at the time or found out later nobody actually used.(Or worse would actually be dangerous to implement) What's annoying is that either a PHB or "Person who thinks they're a project manager" decides we absolutely have to have feature X. Then somehow, someway I find out a year or 2 later hey way do you know, literally nobody has used this feature even once after it got out of testing. (I've tried pointing out in some cases that this isn't really necessary and the company is wasting their money having me implement this. Fortunately I'm pretty good at not getting stuck doing free overtime doing this feature and also doing the stuff that actually needs to be implemented) I guess I just find it annoying to give my opinion, have it ignored, and turn out to be right. (But I've been trying to get better since I give my opinion once, if you ignore it it'll cost you money, not me.)
The one I heard was try to explain it to a big cardboard cut out of a person. Halfway through you explaining it out loud to it you'll have a eureka moment even though you'd literally be explaining it to a big piece of paper.
Just curious because the cells that actually make antibodies basically "reprogram" themselves into making a specific antibody. (They start out not knowing how to make antibodies and when they get exposed to something they actually edit their own genetic code to try and make an antibody that works.)
Mostly because this is something basic you can do for yourself. Can you come back to your old code 6 months later figure out what it does without completely reverse engineering it? I've pointed this out before but I'll say it again. You probably threw away your code 5 seconds after it was graded, right? Well the first thing you'll learn if you go on to be a professional is that you or someone else will be coming back to that code to do fixes and add new features.
Ok, it's one of my serious pet peeves is that programmers, codes, software engineers, or whatever you want to call them not writing code to be in any respects readable. So you come back to the code and you can't figure it out without wasting days completely reverse engineering it. (Which is frustrating as hell.) If you can learn to write readable code(so that you can come back some time afterwards and quickly pickup where you left off) you'll be way ahead of the game.(IE you'd be a better developer than most pro's. At least that's been my experience.)
So wait. You mean having someone read something like "The Stranger" in a 4th semester class is overkill of sorts? (Yes, that's one of the books they had us read. Have I ever mention I consider it one of the worst books I've ever read and I was happy when I found out Camus got killed in a car crash?) Then again I had the sneaking suspicion that their expectations of what one should be able to do after 4 semesters were hugely optimistic. (So much so I've had the opinion that anybody that got an A in the 4th semester was either a 1st or 2nd class cheater.)
Then again, it's not actually hooked up. It's in there to block a bay in the front so there isn't a big hole. (The case on this PC build is more than a few years old and I didn't have the plastic panel to block that bay and I was too cheap to actually buy one online.)
Where I went to university they told us how important a language was. I might have believed it if it weren't for the fact language professors only rarely taught any of the first few semester courses. Considering I got stuck taking 9 courses of language to complete the 4th semseter requirement you'd think I would have seen more than 1 class taught by a foreign language professor. (BTW yes, it was literally one. Instead we got very wet behind the ear grad students. If it's really important then don't have the class taught by the least qualified people you can find.)
was for me at university anything that could make that go away is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. (Well, that's got to be at least 0 mod but I've got karma to spare so I don't care.)
I mean the plot is fairly similiar to the plot of Alternate Reality. Actually come to think of it the game would have fleshed it out better if it ever was completed.
Well the thing is after I saw this problem all I could think about is how annoying this must be for anybody that hadn't read ahead and how bad of a homework problem this truely was. (So much so that I wrote in the margin why this answer worked in the first place and where you had to go to actually read about the rule that predicted this.) So because of that particularly bad bit of education I still remember that problem even after all this time.
In theory this could work. However the problem was you had to know about Hückel's rule that told you when an aromatic ring structure was stable and when it wasn't. Actually to be clear the problem was why does a grignard reaction work on cyclopentadiene? Answer because cyclopentadiene has an acidic hydrogen. Of course there was no explanation why that was so and the average student would have to guess cyclopentadiene is acidic. I read ahead so I knew if it dropped a hydrogen cyclopentadiene would become more stable as predicted by Hückel's rule by until I had read that I would have had no idea why it worked. (Also introducing a concept as the first one in the first semester class in a series then ignoring it until the chapters that are for semester 2 was a bad idea. No one remember any of it since it was convered so early and dropped so completely.)
Since I went through that in higher ed. I mean I had that more than once at university. At in at least one case the professor was basically incompetent.(IE couldn't write a proper test that generated a nice curve, couldn't answer questions in class even though he was the world authority on his branch of philosphy.) However he wrote "THE" text book on his subject matter but that made no difference. You couldn't get accountability because he was just so damn awful. (He was only kept around because he was a bigwig in philosophy and was considered a prime catch. So much so my CS professor knew of him and his rep. Of course my prof had no idea how truely incompetent an educator this guy really was.)
I had a organic chemistry text book that had a similar problems. I remember one question where it asked a question that you had to know about aromaticity. That would have been ok except aromaticity wouldn't be introduced for another 2 chapters. (The only reason I knew about it was I had read ahead a few chapters before looking at that problem in the text.) Come to think of it they also introduced resonance structures as the very first concept then proceeded to completely ignore the concept. (It only came up at the beginning of my orgo II class. Why they didn't move introducing the concept to right before it was going to be used instead of where they did and everybody forgot about it I'll never know.)
Oh this was back in the early 90's and we were using Emacs. Never heard anyone mention some sort of add on that would have helped with the parens. (I completely hate lisp because of that course btw.)

to help them learn. Oh, you meant tablet computers, not a couple of No-Doz :)
Taken together Newton and Einstein had on average a normal sex life.
