Hi HN,A close friend is looking at selling their family farm in Colorado and he received a letter of intent from a company that builds datacenters. He suspects that water rights as well as the location play a significant role in their interest in the property, and he thinks that their offer is low all things considered. Who would he consult with to find out what the property is worth and how to...
In all seriousness, I use to work on a large web app written in C and it was fine for CRUD, but I would never use it for a greenfield project when there are so many other options.
- The program is suppose to be the same as on-campus, so the degree is the same (MS).
- It's dirt cheap as far as master's degrees go. My employer is paying 2/3, so that sweetens the deal even more.
- Since it's online and inexpensive, the program is growing a lot. I think in a few years it would be safe to assume that if someone has an MSCS from GT that it was obtained online.
- I've learned a lot of things that I wouldn't have otherwise been exposed to.
- The workload hasn't been bad, but it definitely can be if you're not somewhat familiar with C, C++, and Python since most of the classes are project based. The workload exceptions have been ML and RL which are pretty time consuming. For context, I work full-time and have two toddlers.
- I honestly don't think the online program is the same as on-campus. Maybe the topics are the same, but I very rarely had to study anything outside of the lecture videos, which are almost always very high-level, and the classes have been much less rigorous than my undergraduate classes (from a different university). Additionally, the online demographic is substantially different than on-campus (I imagine anyway). I think this translates to less stimulating discussion and larger grade curves.
- Expanding on the previous thought, the program has definitely been a "what you put in is what you get out" type of thing. You can coast and still get decent grades, so getting the most out of the program requires some discipline to study stuff that isn't required to get the A.
- There is almost no interaction with the professors, but there is an instructor and TAs for each class who may or may not be helpful in answering your questions.
I'm glad I did the OMSCS program overall. I wish that I had the opportunity to get a master's in-person at a top school, but I don't want to quit my job, move, or pay out the nose, so I'll take what I can get. I don't think that the degree will result in higher compensation, but I've thought about maybe one day teaching at a community college or something like that and I figured I'd get the credential just in case.
I honestly don't think very many, if any, employers will care about the ranking of the school you got a course-based master's degree from. I think it matters more if you're doing a thesis based master's and want to do research.
I've never met someone who hates on OOP like this and has also spent time working in a multi-team setting on a large codebase. Given enough code it's impossible to grok everything that is going on and some kind of abstraction is necessary. This is where OOP really shines; OOP is great exactly because it abstracts away data so I don't have to think about it. Sure, multiple inheritance and deep class ancestry can make OOP code hard to follow, but it's just as easy to write bad code functionally. This post is just comparing the worst of OOP with the best of FP without doing the reverse.

If it's really tedious to find relevant commit logs then I think the right answer is to improve the search process rather than compensate with more comments.
1) It's really unfair to go on letting her believe an untruth. She should know the reason you have not been intimate with her. She may even be relieved to know that what she thought was the issue, her getting old which is something that she can't change, wasn't actually the issue and the real issue can be changed. 2) You have been hiding this habit for 15 years, surely this will not be a complete surprise to your wife. 3) The most important reason is that once your wife is aware of your struggle she will be a strong motivation to quit and potentially even a supportive person who you can be vulnerable with (as opposed to strangers on HN).
It might help to picture yourself five years from now. If you don't quit (the trend for the past 15 years) then your relationship with your wife will only have become worse, your wife will continue to believe that she is undesirable, you will continue to have this part of your life that you are scared to share with your family, etc. If you come clean with her then you will (likely) be forced to change and hopefully your relationship is improved and you no longer have this baggage in your life. If she loves you (which it sounds like she does) she will probably be more understanding than you picture in your head.
To share my (religious) experience, I struggled with porn for several years and became extremely frustrated because I felt like I became a slave to the urge, no matter what I tried I couldn't seem to quit. Eventually, in my frustration, I prayed to God and begged for help to break the habit and in that moment I got a calm feeling and with time I felt that my prayer was answered. The addiction didn't go away, but I seemed to find just enough self control/motivation/discipline/whatever to quit cold turkey. I know religion isn't usually a well-received remedy, and it's not required in order to quit porn, this was just my experience.
Longmont as a city is great as well. People view it as a cheaper place to live than Boulder, but I'd much rather live here.

The real issue would be crawling and indexing all those pages. How long would it take for an average user's computer with a 10Mb internet connection to crawl the entire web? It's not as easy a problem as you make it seem.
The difference is where the line is drawn (what the code of conduct requires). My opinion is that the low tuition costs are not reason enough to say that the school is coercing students to live a puritan lifestyle.
My personal opinion is that you shouldn’t sign the Honor Code if you don’t intend to keep it. It’s rediculous that students agree to the code annually and then are surprised when someone holds them to it. BYU Tuition is subsidized by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, so it’s not unreasonable that they ask you follow some code of conduct.
I was able to graduate with an engineering degree debt free and land an awesome well paying job afterword. Keeping the Honor Code for four years is such a small price to pay in comparison.
Here is a link to some version of the Honor Code. I’m not sure how up to date it is, but it’s probably close if not the same to the current version: https://policy.byu.edu/content/managed/26/ChurchEducationalS...
