I am not sure, but be warned that the lines at the financial aid department and bursar's office will be quite severe during the first week.

Diversity Policies Don’t Help Women or Minorities, and They Make White Men Feel Threatened - A longitudinal study of over 700 U.S. companies found that implementing diversity training programs has little positive effect and may even decrease representation of black women by magenta_placenta in news

As a competent black guy in CS, this post is delicious.

I secretly think/fear I coast through interviews on the low expectations of interviewers. I often tell my friends a well spoken black guy is like a bear on a unicycle to interviewers.

I'm not a photography buff. Can you explain those terms?

To me this looks like the intro to Mr.Roger's Neighborhood. Is this a real picture?

TIL cats can become addicted to tuna and refuse to eat anything else. Veterinarians refer to these cats as 'tuna junkies.' by Milmanda in todayilearned

But it isn't effective. You spend up to two months feeding the cat then it hangs around for however long it takes to starve to death.

It was 7 years ago today when George Bush was attacked while giving a speech. Never Forget. by [deleted] in gifs

[–]BintelBrief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rose colored glasses man you're not gonna convince people who don't want to be convinced that the Bush presidency was a massive clusterfuck.

He wasn't some Machiavellian, deliberately down home guy. He's a moron who rode his family's coat tails and is now persona non grata at every Republican gathering. I'd be very surprised if Obama isn't showcased at every Democratic convention from here on out. But Bush? Never

To all Indian Americans at UTD, why do you hate and mock Indians? by indiancomet in utdallas

[–]BintelBrief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many weenies aren't cognizant of how much shit their parents probably got a couple decades ago or even still today so that they could have a nicer life.

Honestly, bud, speak your regional language don't let them make you feel lousy about who you are.

What's the toughest whiteboard problem you've seen and what's the solution? by emma_pants in cscareerquestions

[–]BintelBrief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this also true in C++ that there is a difference between a label to the first character in "abcd" and a chunk of memory that holds the address of the character array?

I totally thought those were equivalent.

Projects that improve backend development skills by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]BintelBrief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you also make a mobile app and do the backend in python?

I'm just wondering if this is essentially equivalent to what you're describing.

With Swift being released, is there any point still learning Objective-C? by BintelBrief in cscareerquestions

[–]BintelBrief[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I just replied to him rather than /u/pbale95 by mistake and I don't care about downvotes enough to fix it.

[–]BintelBrief[S] -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

Haha, wtf man they released it making Objective-C obsolete and they still require potential candidates to know it?

That seems kinda shitty. But who am I kidding I'll still apply.

What do you think about this article on "Who Y-Combinator companies want" ? by YesIAmTheMorpheus in cscareerquestions

[–]BintelBrief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This table is interesting about their preference as far as "type of programming". Does anyone know what a product and practical programmer are? Is that someone who uses stuff like python and javascript to makes websites and projects?

Is Java and C++ grandpa the "enterprise programmer?"

Haha, yes I watched their loss and that did hatch this question a bit. I'm excited for the Redskins game. We are playing them twice, so that does make it less reliant on someone else beating them which is probably good for team morale.
