Seems to be the thing our government is so intent on doing. It's all because of the guns! Forget about the 20k suicides per year.. Forget about our piss poor health care system.. forget about the fact that we take immigrants in and treat them better than our own.. Forget about the fact that 60% of American are obese. It's all the guns fault
I feel like many do this. Which gave birth to all the development styles like XP or whatever the flavor of the office is. Get something functional down, get the unit tests done, get small pieces to QA as quickly as possible, refactor the code. Lots of companies skip lots of steps. I've been at one that skipped the QA step all together let alone the refactor part. Refactoring was a "when we stop being busy" type of job. Also a good one to let the new interns take a stab at in an alternate tree.
i agree, but it's a new guy intern's opinion. Not necessarily a fact. Also I assume that the code functions well and performs well which would lead me to believe it's decent code just maybe not the prettiest implementation. Bottom line you can read about all the agile programming and other methods and it's about moving quickly because most companies need things developed fast while being understaffed and still having time for unit tests and QA. There is always time later to refactor or whatever needs to be done to clean up the code so that it can be more easily maintained, but that does not equate to money now. Which is what the boss man cares about.
Exactly. Don't hold the guy's hand. Tell him to waste all his time rewriting everything and see what the company does with him.. In the end the boss man doesn't give a shit about how clean the code is.. he give a shit about how fast the code was written and if it does everything it's supposed to and more. New guys gota learn the game too or they will have a hard life in the world of software development.
When did you leave the "specs chase"? Had to have been many years ago. You can build a 2k PC today that far out paces video games. Maybe blame it on the attention iphone games has taken away from PC titles, but either way it's hardly a specs chase any more.
yeah that xi3 box is actually pretty cool. I think there is some "yet to be released" info though about them because I looked at them a while back and no way they run games very well as they were then.
Could be cool though steam could really help to move the market towards more linux gaming which would be massive for the linux desktop.
If you are going to ban cell phones ban them. Don't single out "smart phones" that to me just seems silly. A lot of jobs probably require to some degree that people have their cell phones though, but we are entering an era where there will be nothing but smart phones. An exercise in futility to ban them I'd say.
RPI served a purpose one way or the other. The faster these things get while staying at a similar price point just means there will be much cooler garage made gadgets and hacks to play with. Until apple buys all the patents up and sues everyone that is.
agreed. This is so dumb. Even if some little guy invents it the big guy comes in and buys it from him. It's a form of Monopoly. 'Merica use to care about those things, but I guess we don't anymore. Eventually it's going to be like 1 company that owns all the technology.
Like ban them from Amazon reviews forever. So the next time someone posts a 1 star review because the editor didn't catch a comma or the kindle version is not formatted perfectly for the very first kindle device ever made..
I think it would clean it up some.

No room for logic here, bro.
Maybe there is a god. Maybe it actually is Allah. Maybe he actually is punishing us for our infidelity..

Maybe it didn't.. maybe she just told you it did so that you'd go to her office after hours. Ever think about that?
Or maybe it would be a great first job for him to put him towards refactoring code. He's just an intern after all.

Doesn't matter how good of a cause or the underlying intentions. Money rules this country.
Also gives an advantage to the ones who got solid google skills. "Google exact problem".. Copy.. .paste.. 5 minutes .. ??? profit
Or did they lock it up in solitary confinement.
Yeah I was thinking overkill as in more than half of the 2k would be 2 sli'd latest model Nvidia gfx cards :) but assumed you had the monitor.

wut???
The second they said Java WAS in #1 spot made me really question the validity of this.

Might learn something about stuff.
so true.
Does not approve.

Answer seems obvious.
Well they've got 512MB ram now. The next logical jump is support for 8GB. Duh.
