Great idea. Too bad no one cares. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki...

Also, they are both sorting algorithms, bubble sort has poor best case performance complexity while sharing O(n^2) worst case performance. And neither are relevant to anyone doing any real programming, because the best general purpose sorting algorithms are already baked into languages. And I'm still no scientist.

I create new algorithms all the time. I call myself a developer. Perhaps an architect. I've never once thought of myself as a scientist.

Just because you're afraid of multiple return statements does not make your goto easier to read.

Wicca, really? Cause Wicca dates back all the way to the 20th century.

Sony Pictures is likely sending out huge amounts of data as it is. It's the movie industry. Their daily backups could be 100 TiB.

You can't want to be a princess if society never tells you about pricesses. But, by all means, go on believing the problem is genetics and not society. Like how black people are less driven, leading to less successful careers.

Or perhaps there are a lot of washed up CS grads on linked in who don't mention it because they've moved to a different career where they can be more useful.

It's absolutely true - depending on your location. In Cali, yes, you can have a successful career without an education. In the industrial Midwest, not so much. It's still possible, but lacking a degree really holds you back from big companies. And outside of startup friendly places like Austin and CA, big companies is where the jobs are.

Perhaps, but CS graduates have even larger holes.

What else did people expect? Android had the same feature for over a year before Siri came out.

I've been around Slashdot since the 90s and I think you're full of shit. Discourse is just as bad now as it has always been. Shit, it's been years since I came upon a GNAA link.

I don't understand why I as a web developer have any use for IE. I don't target the Ice Weasel or Maxthon browsers, I target the W3C standard. Why would I care about IE as a web developer? I'm seriously asking? What is MS's argument for devs here?

Sure, but the vast majority of engineers are never seen by anyone but their coworkers. If you feel it impacts your business you set a dress code. Under no circumstance is it productive or profitable to engage in passive aggressive disdain from people jealous of engineers in t shirts.

So one set of people is concerned with making good products that meet a client's needs while the other is concerned with moving numbers around on paper to pretend they are producing something of value. You can get rid of one of these groups of people and still have a successful profitable company. Guess which one?
