    Great idea. Too bad no one cares. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki...

    Also, they are both sorting algorithms, bubble sort has poor best case performance complexity while sharing O(n^2) worst case performance. And neither are relevant to anyone doing any real programming, because the best general purpose sorting algorithms are already baked into languages. And I'm still no scientist.

    I create new algorithms all the time. I call myself a developer. Perhaps an architect. I've never once thought of myself as a scientist.

    Just because you're afraid of multiple return statements does not make your goto easier to read.

    Wicca, really? Cause Wicca dates back all the way to the 20th century.

    Sony Pictures is likely sending out huge amounts of data as it is. It's the movie industry. Their daily backups could be 100 TiB.

    You can't want to be a princess if society never tells you about pricesses. But, by all means, go on believing the problem is genetics and not society. Like how black people are less driven, leading to less successful careers.

    Or perhaps there are a lot of washed up CS grads on linked in who don't mention it because they've moved to a different career where they can be more useful.

  9. Re: Missing the point on Be True To Your CS School: LinkedIn Ranks US Schools For Job-Seeking Programmers · · Score: 1

    It's absolutely true - depending on your location. In Cali, yes, you can have a successful career without an education. In the industrial Midwest, not so much. It's still possible, but lacking a degree really holds you back from big companies. And outside of startup friendly places like Austin and CA, big companies is where the jobs are.

  10. Perhaps, but CS graduates have even larger holes.

    I've been around Slashdot since the 90s and I think you're full of shit. Discourse is just as bad now as it has always been. Shit, it's been years since I came upon a GNAA link.

  13. Re: question: does IE support adblock and noscript on Microsoft Considered Renaming Internet Explorer To Escape Its Reputation · · Score: 2

    I don't understand why I as a web developer have any use for IE. I don't target the Ice Weasel or Maxthon browsers, I target the W3C standard. Why would I care about IE as a web developer? I'm seriously asking? What is MS's argument for devs here?

  14. Re: Real people just don't like dealing with Hip on Companies That Don't Understand Engineers Don't Respect Engineers · · Score: 1

    Sure, but the vast majority of engineers are never seen by anyone but their coworkers. If you feel it impacts your business you set a dress code. Under no circumstance is it productive or profitable to engage in passive aggressive disdain from people jealous of engineers in t shirts.

  15. Re: Lots of technical decisions affect the busines on Companies That Don't Understand Engineers Don't Respect Engineers · · Score: 1

    So one set of people is concerned with making good products that meet a client's needs while the other is concerned with moving numbers around on paper to pretend they are producing something of value. You can get rid of one of these groups of people and still have a successful profitable company. Guess which one?

    That would imply that everyone wants to work less. Smart people should do what they love because they can. Many will do it for 60 hours a week because they want to.

    On behalf of feminists everywhere I'd like to apologize for offending your male centric worldview.

  19. Re: Business decisions on Companies That Don't Understand Engineers Don't Respect Engineers · · Score: 2

    This happens just as often from the other side. Decision makers like to make decisions and they will do so regardless of how well they understand the problem. Instead they bring vague contradictory language to the engineers and expect them to sort out what the business ACTUALLY needs to make the decision maker look good. Managers are good at communicating their successes and often little else.

    Is it really immature to wear a t shirt or is it more immature to let someone tell you how to dress? If someone can't decide what to wear, I certainly don't want them making important decisions about business.

    It would also imply the US is in control of its economy. The fed is in control of the American economy and would never do something so self destructive.

    That's pretty absurd. There is very little in common between software development and company development. You seem to postulate that company building is a more advanced form of development that software development grows into naturally. That's a pretty ridiculous assertion.
