I'm not going to waste my time on this. Please, go on. Give Gohron advice based on your year or so of vocational training.

Any R experts around here? I need to do this autocorrelation function and take away lag zero (which is = 1). I've done a few ACFs lately and this just started coming up. It's a pain in the balls.
I suppose in many ways art and design are intrinsically linked to logic and code syntax. Regardless, it's piecemeal advise you give everyone going through new learning and education. And it doesn't always apply.Quote:

Smart people doing poorly or failing out because they can't manage their time.
And "not managing your time" doesn't always mean, oh, they play too many video games or are lazy. It often means they have too many things on their plate. They have work, school, kids and too many classes.
Ultimately, my advice is to inform people of this so they can make wiser decisions going into a semester. So they can plan ahead and be ready to give their class load their full attention.
Its not about if some random person out there, this one time, went to college and had a job and made As. Its about can 'you' do that, honestly? Can Gohron do it? Has he asked himself about it? Has he been honest about it with himself?
Sure, I could say "well you need to plan your schedule really well" but that is just vague and worthless advice. Its better to say, "give school your all, and cut other things." That is more direct. It drives home that your education should be a top priority. It promotes thoughts like "hey, I should really think about this. Maybe instead of taking three classes with labs, a full time job, and baby watching, I should shift in some electives and get my lab count down, shift this one class to the summer, and try to work out 10% fewer hours at work so I have more time to study. IP's really made this sound difficult. Maybe it really is and I should look into it more. "
And in all seriousness, your educational experience is not a counter example. It was pretty much a vocational program in multimedia. It was most likely designed for working professionals to do while working. Good on you for doing well and getting a lot out of it, but if you're talking about it like it is 1 for 1 with a 4 year CS or CPE degree IRL, I can see pretty easily why you feel awkward at parties with programers. They probably think you're an asshole.
tldr
lets move on.
I spent most of yesterday cleaning up my gaming shit from the living room so that my little girl would have some room to crawl around.
I wake up this morning, and my wife has put up this gate thing around the middle of the living room so she put the baby down and let her play. This means I can't get to any of the consoles in the entertainment center, and if I sit on the couch I'm too far away to really see anything. Plus, the controller cords on most of the systems won't reach. Fuck.
WTB: bigger TV and extension cords
emu on the taptop until you can talk to wife about chaning stuff, imo
Is that a newfangled term for tablet?
How about the ones that call it a CPU?Quote:
