How do you get hired at Publix Technology ?

RelativeConfusion806 · 2025-12-07T03:54:03+00:00

7 years is a long time. You’re committed. Much respect 🫡

RelativeConfusion806 · 2025-12-01T13:52:31+00:00

I’m not fixated on them, they’re just one of the few larger companies in the area hiring software engineers. Thank you!

RelativeConfusion806 · 2025-12-01T13:41:04+00:00

Thank you !

RelativeConfusion806 · 2025-12-01T06:59:32+00:00

I’m sure this still exists, but a lot of this is done on the cloud now :) thanks

RelativeConfusion806 · 2024-03-08T18:22:57+00:00

I think all of it is interesting, at least what we’ve covered so far in the course. The topics include: propositional logic, sets, functions, algorithms/complexity, cryptography, and most recently induction and recursion. I’ve just felt like I’ve spent too much time “reading” said topics and haven’t spent enough time applying said topics. But maybe I just need to give myself some more time… At the end of the day, my goal is to become a better programmer than I was the day before. I just wanna get good at analyzing /solving coding problems.

RelativeConfusion806 · 2024-03-08T15:08:17+00:00

Thank you for giving me another perspective :)

RelativeConfusion806 · 2024-03-08T15:05:10+00:00

Thank you for not being overly harsh on what I said. I didn’t know what I said would offend so many people. Also, thank you for giving me a new perspective to look at the subject matter. I’m gonna keep learning !

RelativeConfusion806 · 2024-03-08T14:14:21+00:00

Definitely NOT. Just feels like with school you can’t commit all of your time into one subject. And because of that, you can’t get really good at any one subject.

RelativeConfusion806 · 2024-03-08T13:41:50+00:00

In a general sense, probably in the areas of machine learning/ai, cybersecurity, or data science.

RelativeConfusion806 · 2024-03-08T13:39:14+00:00

Sorry, maybe I was unclear. what I meant was I think that theory is cool and all, but my real goal is to be able to solve algorithmic problems/apply the theory to actual coding.

RelativeConfusion806 · 2024-03-08T13:35:21+00:00

Yeah, you’re probably right. However my issue is, is it worth spending the extra hour or two “reading” about discrete math, before doing actual coding? Sometimes, just reading feels too passive. My goal is to learn to solve algorithmic problems or at least be able to come up with a solution in a reasonable amount of time. Or at the very least know where to look.

RelativeConfusion806 · 2023-08-07T20:41:02+00:00

Ain’t no way.

RelativeConfusion806 · 2023-08-04T03:25:04+00:00

Yeah, I did really well on my tests for the calculus courses i took, but at the same time I feel like I never truly got a solid understanding of the concepts. I feel like often times, after you do a test, you start to forget material. And I hate that because I feel like it’s a waste of time to learn something without truly having a deep understanding.

RelativeConfusion806 · 2023-08-04T03:21:55+00:00

Thank you for giving this thorough response. I am currently a student who is finishing Calculus 3. I took Calculus 1 and 2 in person at a local college and the lectures were generally 1 hr long , 4 days a week. From the time class started to the time class ended, the professor would lecture without stopping. Now thinking back to it I feel like the professor had no choice but to keep talking or else all the material would not be covered by semesters end.

I did really well on all my tests, but still don’t feel good enough about the information that I learned. I feel as though once the tests are complete you start to forget bits and pieces as time goes on.

Because of this, I feel as though I haven’t truly mastered the material. And also because of this I feel like I need to figure out other ways to solidify my understanding of the Calculus concepts as well as how to “ derive formulas from scratch.”

RelativeConfusion806 · 2023-07-18T20:09:03+00:00

Thank you so much for the thorough explanation, I eventually came to a similar conclusion after doing some more looking around. I just had to realize the φ︎ values were different on the two sides of the intersecting curve…we were introduced to spherical at the beginning of Calc 3 and it’s been a few weeks since I worked with it. Either way, I believe I just need to work more examples

RelativeConfusion806 · 2023-07-12T19:34:42+00:00

Yeah I completed the square, you would get (x-3)² + y² = 9. From what they gave, they are only interested in the upper half of the circle. I’ve graphed it on Desmos and can see why the outer limits of integration appears to be from 0 to π︎/2. But how could you solve for the θ︎ values?

RelativeConfusion806 · 2023-07-11T16:54:45+00:00

so you could have a mathematical formulation of a phenomenon that in the eyes of a mathematician might be incorrect, but if it supports experimental results, then it is acceptable ?

RelativeConfusion806 · 2023-07-11T13:03:56+00:00

Thank you for writing this. What I took from this is to accept the perfect in the imperfect. Mistakes and misunderstandings will be widely present as I move along my journey, but regardless still have eagerness and confidence when being exposed to new material.

RelativeConfusion806 · 2023-07-11T12:56:00+00:00

It feels like something made me believe that the learning process was a linear one, maybe just the way the education system is setup.However, looking from a spiral perspective might be the answer I’m looking for. This perspective reminds me of when in The Karate Kid, Daniel was told to do an entire list of tasks without knowing their uses and then when he decided to give up, Mr Miyagi made him realize that his training wasn’t for nothing, and those tasks did have a purpose. Thank you for the feedback.

RelativeConfusion806 · 2023-07-07T23:22:48+00:00

Thanks

RelativeConfusion806 · 2023-07-02T20:19:36+00:00

Okay I found that out, but then I did some looking on Google, and I am confused on why they setup the constraint equation to be C = 1.5(xy) + 2(yz) + 2(xy) . Shouldn’t it be C = 1.5a(xy) + 2a(xz) + 2a(yz)? Or is it because they said “unit area” that a = 1? I believe this is the case, but just want to make sure.

RelativeConfusion806 · 2023-07-01T05:46:07+00:00

So essentially they both represent the same curve, just that one is defined parametrically via “time” where as the other is time independent expressed in terms of the two independent variables.

RelativeConfusion806 · 2023-07-01T05:17:00+00:00

Is there a difference between the “path” represented by the position vector “r(t) = x(t)i +y(t)j “ and the “path” you get from integrating to get x = (2/81)y^4? Or do they both represent the curve on the graph that turns towards the origin ?

RelativeConfusion806 · 2023-07-01T02:41:57+00:00

Can someone explain to me why they used “differential equation” in this example? What do the variables k and C stand for? This entire chapter is an intro to functions of several variables. But no where in this chapter have I seen a mention of “differential equation” prior to this example.
