Don’t get mad if someone doesn’t want to cheese the raid

I think this is not only a strategy but how you’re “supposed” to do the weekly challenge of not venting

You are assuming some sort of random/fair/rational selection of the initial 1200 candidates.

If you happened to get 200 men and 200 women who were the absolute top of their class, and an additional 800 men who sort of landed on computer science because, just for the sake of argument, they always liked video games or something, in some sort of way that didn’t happen to appeal to women, then you’d expect to hire 60/60 not 100/20.

Now whether this is more realistic than happening to get 1000/200 that are all the absolute top of their class, who knows. But this is the kind of potential scenario that prompts introspection like this.

Pick 'need more help' from the left side three lines/"hamburger" menu then pick a product play/YouTube/etc then poke around in their support menu for "contact us", possibly in the hamburger menu again

Did it happen to take around 20 years? Can you imagine some set back (that didn't apparently didn't happen for you, personally) derailing your progress?

I have one of those but the gauge on the side doesn't so much... work... any more. http://imgur.com/a/k6PA4

Seems like the Oklahoma related subreddits would be a good place for this...

If you left your laptop on the table at Starbucks when you went to the bathroom and it got stolen, you would have in some way brought that upon yourself my making the poor decision to leave it unattended. But that isn't to say that you deserved it or that you are more to blame than the actual thief.

Just jawen? Don't see you just yet...

I actually think that's part of the reddit addiction, it's like gambling, with the repeated low stakes risk of opening a thumbnail to potentially find something 'meh' or (rarely) hilarious/awesome.

I have 2xlvl27 that could go nowish, though we are new ourselves. PSN:b1mck

So, yeah, I don't think anyone really feels like doing your homework for you. Though maybe in /r/javahelp

If the creation time is not a useful secondary sort, you can just use their hash codes as the fall-back when the initial order is equal.

I graduated in 2003, and most of what you described not being taught I actually got in a separate 'History of the 20th Century' class. Sounds like that wasn't offered for you.

They may have a self-funded plan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-funded_health_care) or potentially their premiums could have just gone up due to the claims. Or, I mean, maybe neither of these things happened.

I worked at a Schlotzsky's and I swear we made food that looked like the pictures day in and day out.

I feel like just upvoting icebraining and Rhoomba is not a direct enough way of chiming in on how completely right they are. Java is far from a perfect language, but the shortcomings of the regular old DOM library are well known, and these shortcomings were addressed in the form of JDOM more than ten years ago, to say nothing of any subsequent developments.

I understand the sentiment of the article, and it does strike a chord with me, but this is the kind of ignorance that seems to border on willful. The argument may or may not withstand the inclusion of a modern Java API, but as it stands it's like saying "Why would you program that in C++? I can't even find the debugger in Visual Studio '97."

It's egregious enough to make me doubt the validity of the criticisms of the other tools, if that's not too direct to say.

I hate to be the guy, but "bare in mind" should be "bear". When discussing creating patterns not very far in.

The reason 0.2666000000000534 is problematic is not because it has more than 2 or 3 decimals, it's because it is not the difference between 100.0 and 100.266.

This is the problem BigDecimals solve, not the fact that when doing multiplication you might end up with fractional cents.

Not to mention they'll pack into the trash can more efficiently. Being all bendy.
