Quora: How is competitive programming different from real-life programming? →

2014-06-25T09:36:00Z

You are in the jungle. You have a pocket-knife. Someone asks you to kill a mountain lion. Anyone but a programmer would be asking “WTF is a MOUNTAIN lion doing in a JUNGLE?!”, but that’s not what you have been trained to do as a programmer. You are here to solve problems, not to question them.

Den her sammenligning mellem real-life og kompetitiv programmering er god.

Selvom den er pakket ind i en konference om programmerings-sproget Clojure, så er det her den smukkeste historie om vores (menneskehedens) tur til månen og tilbage igen. Om hvordan det at gøre sig umage og have fokus på de rigtige ting, kan gøre det umulige muligt.

Some texts are very long and quite fluffy, like a Corgi dog. Other texts are short and very dense, like Danny DeVito.

Pinboards Maciej Cegłowski om hvordan Google forsøger at hive deres reklamer med ud i virkeligheden:

Google’s answer is, wake up, grandpa, this is the new normal. But all they’re doing is trying to port a bug in the Internet over to the real world, and calling it progress.

You can dress up a bug and call it a feature. You can also put dog crap in the freezer and call it ice cream. But people can taste the difference.

Jeg er vild med konceptet Investor Storytime:

Recall that advertising is when someone pays you to tell your users they’ll be happy if they buy a product or service.

Yahoo is an example of a company that runs on advertising. Gawker is a company that runs on advertising.

Investor storytime is when someone pays you to tell them how rich they’ll get when you finally put ads on your site.

Pinterest is a site that runs on investor storytime. Most startups run on investor storytime.

Maciej slår den virkelig ud af parken i sine talks — en anden god er den her video fra sidste års XOXO.

Det passer:

Every friend I have with a job that involves picking up something heavier than a laptop more than twice a week eventually finds a way to slip something like this into conversation: “Bro,1 you don’t work hard. I just worked a 4700-hour week digging a tunnel under Mordor with a screwdriver.” They have a point. Mordor sucks, and it’s certainly more physically taxing to dig a tunnel than poke at a keyboard unless you’re an ant. But, for the sake of the argument, can we agree that stress and insanity are bad things? Awesome. Welcome to programming.

Det her er helt fantastisk:

My tools for national security consulting are primarily a semi-auto .22 rifle with a silencer. They are virtually completely silent and can pierce car doors and other light armor. They are perfect for urban environments.

My accessory tools are mostly extremely strong espresso and research chemicals from China that are classed as “Smart Drugs”. They allow me to solve 2nd order partial differential equations in my head and to spontaneously create 4 dimensional images of software structures that I can mentally manipulate.

I also do my most productive security designs while having extended sex. I apologize if you think I am pulling your legs but, God’s truth, these are the facts.

But you probably have more of an interest in the computer or smartphone hardware that I use.

George Clooney fortæller Esquire om at spille basketball mod Leonardo Di Caprio →

George Clooney er den perfekte mand - spørg bare min mor eller journalisten fra Esquire.

They played at a neighborhood court. “You know, I can play,” Clooney says in his living room. “I’m not great, by any means, but I played high school basketball, and I know I can play. I also know that you don’t talk shit unless you can play. And the thing about playing Leo is you have all these guys talking shit. We get there, and there’s this guy, Danny A I think his name is. Danny A is this club kid from New York. And he comes up to me and says, ‘We played once at Chelsea Piers. I kicked your ass.’ I said, ‘I’ve only played at Chelsea Piers once in my life and ran the table. So if we played, you didn’t kick anybody’s ass.’ And so then we’re watching them warm up, and they’re doing this weave around the court, and one of the guys I play with says, ‘You know we’re going to kill these guys, right?’ Because they can’t play at all. We’re all like fifty years old, and we beat them three straight: 11–0, 11–0, 11–0. And the discrepancy between their game and how they talked about their game made me think of how important it is to have someone in your life to tell you what’s what. I’m not sure if Leo has someone like that.”
