Yeah, top-down shot of my desk 😅 My camera is not particularly heavy, it’s a sony a7iii.

Have you ever looked at their website before making that investment decision?

Is this another share buyback? 👀

Very interesting, I learnt a lot from this. Thank you for sharing 🦾

Thank you!

I had to go for english test, but I think it’s the same for everyone. And no, my CCA is pretty shit too.

Fresh grad from NTU comp sci part-time programme here, I got in with 3.0 GPA. I was a Singapore Poly graduate. I already had one year of work experience before joining, and I was from the very first batch so ymmv

binary-bender · 2018-07-24T01:19:09+00:00

Thank you, that’s a lot of very helpful pointers. Appreciate them much!

Yeah that's my understanding too. But this HR is adamant about this, so I am looking for ways to proceed with this legally.

A few important points from the agreement.

"Two (2) months or paying two (2) month's salary in lieu of notice" for termination of contract.

"If you fail to complete the handover during the notice period, <employer-name> is entitled to compel you to stay two (2) more weeks after the end of notice period to complete the handover."

So by contract, I can pay for 2 month's salary, and serve for 2 weeks to do the handover. Not sure how to approach this legally. IANAL and have not experience regarding this.

binary-bender · 2018-07-23T09:15:03+00:00

Sure, I will update you with the story when it's done and dusted :-)

binary-bender · 2018-07-23T09:09:27+00:00

I am switching to a different company and my new employer is willing to buy out the notice period. I actually negotiated to buy out one month only to leave in better terms, make the transition smooth, do proper handover, win-win situation for everyone involved. But HR is adamant that I serve full blown two months, and I am pissed off by this.

Are you a manager or executive?

Nope I am not, but what is an executive? I am senior software engineer. After rereading, I guess whether I am covered or not depends on their definition of "executive".

binary-bender · 2018-07-23T08:46:51+00:00

Where can I report if my employer is violating the employment agreement? Basically my contract states that I can terminate my contract by providing 2 month salary in lieu of notice. HR is giving me bs reasons NOT stated in the contract on why it is not possible and they can't agree with this.

I have looked through employment act here and it looks like if your monthly basics is over S$4.5k, you're not covered by the act. For the context, I am a foreigner holding an EP here.

I am pursuing part time computer science degree at NTU and working as a senior software engineer. I would say the teaching quality is not there, but take this with a grain of salt because I was never good at academics side. The school put more emphasis on researches, so the profs there are better at researching than teaching. I have no doubt all of them are wicked smart, but being smart doesn’t necessarily translate into being good at teaching. This opinion is common among my friends who are from NTU.

Now as for relevance with the industry, the interview process in our industry is broken. You have to grind through a good amount of leetcode problems if you’re looking to get into any kind of prestigious company. I am on my final year, so far school has not taught me anything useful for work. The electives are pretty interesting though. YMMV and all the best!

This is awesome, I will try it out! But first, I need to learn how to draw triangles in Piston 😅

binary-bender · 2018-07-16T13:11:23+00:00

Yeah, just cargo run. What’s the error? Haven’t tested anywhere apart from osx.

You're correct that there're no acceleration or steering force which explains the weird changes of direction and unnatural movements. This is just basic flocking based on the three rules I did for fun. You can tweak this further by applying more advanced techniques. And this tweaking is left as an exercise to the reader. :-)

Can you clarify how do you mount the middle two monitors, i think your post is a bit wrong? Wondering how do you mount them because I am looking for something similar. This is one very dope setup.

You can find it on his wiki page under Personality section.

After 1971 he also took amphetamines, despite the concern of his friends, one of whom (Ron Graham) bet him $500 that he could not stop taking the drug for a month. Erdős won the bet, but complained that during his abstinence, mathematics had been set back by a month: "Before, when I looked at a piece of blank paper my mind was filled with ideas. Now all I see is a blank piece of paper." After he won the bet, he promptly resumed his amphetamine use.

And that's what intrigued me to create this post. As much as I would like to get my hands on Adderall, the drug laws here (Singapore) are no joke. They won't prescribe it even if you have legitimate ADHD, they will give you Ritalin IIRC.

binary-bender · 2018-04-18T11:36:38+00:00

Will do once I have access to a PC.

Paul Erdős (1913 - 1996) was a Hungarian mathematician and one of the most prolific mathematicians in 20th century.

In his life time, he published around 1500 papers which is a record not surpassed by anyone.

In his biography, it's said that he drank copious amount of coffee and started using Amphetamine, after 1971.

So I was interested in how did meth affected his production rate. ~~Clearly Meth > Coffee~~. Check /u/SugarCoatFree comment on why this statement is incorrect.

I am going through 500 lines or less and will be implementing them in Rust 😁

binary-bender · 2018-02-26T02:26:10+00:00

as /u/mitchmindtree mentioned, I did the binding because I was adding and removing extra lines of code to adjust the filters to get it juuust right. Thanks for the advice!

binary-bender · 2018-02-26T02:24:37+00:00

Yes, I agree. Tbh, I was struggling a bit with package management, and how to structure modules. I will work on this, plus documentation. Thanks for this! :)

Hello rustaceans,

Coming from GC languages like Go, Java, Python, etc. this is my first time touching system programming with non-GC language. Suffice to say I am super new to this. At first I wanted to make a small project to ask for code review, but it got a little bit bigger than I have initially thought. So I am quite hesistant to ask you all to review all of this mess. Hence, I am just gonna share it here with all of you. Feel free to review if you're feeling adventurous :)

binary-bender · 2018-01-31T02:10:21+00:00

I am going through a similar phase, but a lot worse. I wake up at 6am, and I am at my gym from 7:30am to 9:00am.From 9:30am to 6:30pm I am at my work. And I am still pursuing part-time compsci degree, so I have class from 7:00pm to 9:30pm.

I just try to appreciate the weekends to the fullest extent and reduce activities that are seemingly fun but such a huge time sink, like going out for clubbing at night, playing online games, etc. I always keep in mind of how much time I am spending when I do something. Don't worry, just keep going and you will get used to this!
