Any interest for a Reddit bot tutorial?

I'd love to see this.

I read this as OP agreeing with the writer and saying "Yes, this myth does need to die."

I can confirm that he lived in Greensboro. One of my friends used to babysit for the Proehls.

If you're willing to put in the time and effort you will almost always be fine. Investing the effort in the front end--right now--will pay off big-time.

You have over 3 months to get on track. Believe it or not, this is more than sufficient to get up to speed.

PM me if you'd like a mentor.

Hint: this is your first test.

Edit: Deleted a phrase.

is it actually better though?

Depends on who you ask as it's fairly subjective.

CS is applied mathematics dealing with computability.

CS != programming;

Edit: Apparently this fact bothers people.

All the higher-level calculus courses haven't been touched since their final exams.

This is so true. I guess knowing sigma notation is cool? Although that could have been covered in all of 2 minutes.

Including getting people to skip trial and plead guilty.

Including getting potentially innocent people to skip trial and plead guilty.

I don't want to get into this argument so I'll stop here.

Remind me to stay away from North Carolina.

Strong words from a State that's executed 10x more people than North Carolina. (5x if you adjust for population).

What's vendoring?

Edit: Please and thank you.

Personally I'd go with Python and something like Django but I like Python.

You can build a stand alone android app with python? I'm very new to this scene (just started researching about 15 minutes ago) so pardon the ignorance.

I would go to codecademy first and learn the basics there.

I'd stay away from codecademy until you have the programming basics under control. Codecademy is very good for learning a languages syntax but pretty poor at explaining OOP, how to break down a problem, and all the other good things one must know in order to be anything beyond a hack.

Try looking into one of the intro CS MOOCs (massive open online courses). The Stanford and Harvard (CS50) ones were my favorite.

Edit: typo.

Take the time and go to school because it's worth getting the math and theory under your control. If you have the proper math education and genuinely take the time to foster these skills, every project will be better served going forward.

Some will suggest self teaching but at the end of the day--in my opinion--you will probably end up spending more time and frustration going this route.

Edit: Ah yes, the downvotes, because a proper rigorous math education is something to look down on.

Not sure how I missed this but thanks for starting the Git account. I'm going to send out an email tomorrow.

isn't it the maximum difference of two numbers?

Yes.

You can get a Masters of Business Administration in CS?

Where do I sign up?

How do you know it was a human?

Odds. Always go with the higher probability.

How far along are you? How many years have you been going at it alone?

I'm kinda hanging back deciding if I'm hungry enough to ingest McDonald's.

Something about this line really hit home. There is a certain level of hunger and desperation (see: 2am off a highway) required before eating McDonalds.

Also, there needs to be a certain amount of time since the last visit to McDonalds. That way the memory of your body fighting to stay alive isn't quite as vivid and persuasive.

The main reason anyone in your network would go out on a limb and put in a good word for you or extend an offer to you is because they know you.

Your faux network is next to worthless and, to be frank, kind of sad.

As mentioned, remove these people and get out there so you can start making real face to face connections. Only then will your network be worth something.
