Unlimited money would mean that you would be able to do what you want "at work", learn as much as you want about whatever you like and just spend all the time doing that without distractions and shit. Damn, you could basically go for a PhD if you wanted! Fuck masters

@seblovin oh sweet Jesus thanks!

@ganjaman I got to Germany a year and a half ago and 10 minutes in the German layout made me go straight to IT in my company to get a US layout keyboard. No matter how old or shitty. German layout is definitely not for programming

@irene I got lost in reviews translated from Polish :/ I don't think I will ever decide which one to get :(

@bittersweet @irene 4 or 5 years ago I had to send some documents via fax to enroll on an online programming course in one of the biggest universities in Spain. It took me a long long time to find a place from which I could send a fax... So yeah, you should expect for this kind of things to still be necessary. But anyway, you can always print at work

@irene thanks, I'll check them out, let's see if they have some version without backlights

I would consider most programming languages as dialects of English. Maybe not brainfuck and the likes, of course

@anekix also the exchanged lines were just edited...

@fuckWindows he could have changed to dark theme 1/100000000 of a second after the screenshot and the result would be still the same

I think this people add an extra digit of Pi per version or something like that

Where is the Blackberry Pie?

@hell yeah!

Not technically an editor, but after you use it for a long long time, LaTeX can become WYSIWYG... And then it's the best of all them

I was expecting something along the lines of:

```
Spell my_deadly_spell("Avada Kedavra");
auto boom = static_cast<SpectacularMagic>(my_deadly_spell);
```

@Benedikt aaaaah! I thought the phrase with "Spanisch" was the one about not understanding a thing. Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof is a really funny one, my supervisor explained it to me a couple of years before I decided to move to Germany. It may or may not have influenced thus decision... Hahaha

But again, to imply that you don't understand a thing, don't you say "It's all Greek to me" instead of Chinese? Maybe it depends on the region... In the UK I heard it more with Greek.

I thought in English people said "it sounds Greek to me". In Spanish, we say Chinese. In German, they say Spanish

Thanks @lyckligtax and @PerfectAsshole . I'm just not the type that likes to invest tones of time deciding which model to get for any technological stuff, and also quite new to Linux, so I felt that was an easy solution. Now seeing the negative opinions (you two and a couple of friends agreed basically word by word), I won't take these laptops into consideration

@dder And that's the story of how stackoverflow was born

An alphabet?

Set a time when they can interrupt you (like "from 1pm to 3pm"). Talk to whoever is managing the team and tell them to do that or to give a training because it's stopping you from working as you should. If that doesn't work and you have the possibility, do home office until your boss complains and then tell him why you are doing home office.

It's shit to be helpful to people that won't make the effort of trying for themselves before asking for help...

@sunfishcc no, it is not. Maybe later I try that. For now, just learning. I will keep adding functionality and try to optimise as much as possible. At some point parallelize it. It seems like a good side project to learn stuff of how much you can keep doing over time ^^

Well, I am a morning bird BIG TIME! And at 10pm it's already past my bedtime...

Well, we expats and mainly our mothers are really really happy of how communications evolved ^^

From my point of view, reading and understanding the solutions is far from being enough to learn to solve problems. You will learn some tricks to do, see different approaches,etc But to really learn to solve problems you have to stubbornly fight them until you get them. Practice is the best teacher, be it to solve mathematical problems or coding problems.

If you think the ones marked as "easy" in leetcode are still quite difficult to start with (i.e. if you have to look on the solutions for the easy problems in there), I recommend you using other websites that may have more variety of difficulties. For example, doing "A" problems in codeforces.com.

And patience, if you don't put many ours on solving problems, I don't think it's probable to get good and efficient at solving them.

@retnikt you ok?

@devTea for the master's thesis? That's crazy...

@SpaceHamster many others will be greatfull you took the time and shared the fixes version, for sure.

I remember going to a LaTeX tutorial by one of the professors in the CS department and finding out he was quite lost about it.

By the way, I'm sure you already know this, but for any poor soul lost in the infinity of LaTeX symbol lists: http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classi...

That was the most wonderful revelation I had a couple of years and several projects into the maths degree

:D and all my energies!

They have two options:

1) Assume you are rubbish at all forms of research communication and give you a package with the basics. Then later on judge on your actual writing and presentation skills and tell you in which direction to improve

2) Read something you write/have you give a presentation and judge the quality, give advice etc. In many cases that would result in the same outcome than one, but with them putting more effort (maybe) and you having a really negative insight from them or worse, whichever assholes you might present for the first time in front of.

I was glad that my supervisor chose 2 because I would also get pissed if treated like 1. But then over these years I've seen my fair share of "first timers" in presentations or writing have a very shitty experience because of lack of basic directives from their supervisor and can see the good in 1.

Don't take it personally and use the fact that you are already good at it to be able to filter good advice from bad advice

@M1sf3t he has been for very long in SP, but I'm not sure who takes part in the composition of their songs... I guess we'll have to do some more research and well, decide upon price and willingness to exchange the headphones by the scary and busy world out there :P
