Those are amazing! Thank you for sharing.

Not sure if trolling..
People may be used to different technologies. Many of us just google or see the doc on the fly for such trouble shooting or configuring settings.
But these types of skills/knowledge is different from understanding a computer scientist would require. I would be more worried if someone who claims to know networking doesn't know popular protocols or algorithms like for example the sliding window protocol.
The issues you face in designing, understanding and analyzing such algorithms will change you more than understanding where windows stores the setting to configure one of their protocol parameters.

Finally some use of the GRE English exam that I had to take before joining CS program!
This may work with narration but the text in itself ,at least for me, is completely useless.
I think other attempts from "Manga Guide" series and even the "Transnational College of LEX" series are far more effective than this one.
The author seems too optimistic in many occasions. Case in point: "You don’t need Quora, if you can ask detailed questions in G+ and share them with specific Circles, etc." doesn't really resonate with me. Many of these platforms(stackoverflow, metaoptimize, quora) rely on the expertise of strangers.
What is CS69A? My google search didnt return anything relevant other than this page itself.
Any reviews if you have bought it
Great Stuff. Thanks!
Can you guys recommend other books on CS that touch on the topics mentioned in the review?
On a related note, I read somewhere that Godel was the only person Russell believed had read and understood "Principia Mathematica" besides the author themselves.
Do you guys know of good tutorials on WebSockets?
"I've completely stopped going without sleep this since the last semester ended"
That is a lie.
Can you please provide a link to the course syllabus?
Racket has an awesome macro system and people have managed to do amazing things with it.
This paper(http://www.ccs.neu.edu/scheme/pubs/scheme2007-ctf.pdf) demonstrates how they made an explicitly-typed dialect of the dynamically typed language Racket.
Truly awesome stuffs.
Reminds me of the http://programming-motherfucker.com/
What is his email id?
You seem to be pretty jobless.
It was actually at Yale.

Godel's incompleteness theorem.
"He requested that I not only remove the archive from Dropbox but delete my posts on Hacker News, which at that point included the fake DMCA takedown."
What you tried to do there is censor and resorted to fake legal repercussions. You can brush it aside saying that it was a mistake but it is still uncool for a corporation to do that to an individual.
Apparently all of Reddit's problem is either Amazon or Conde Nast.
It's interesting to see you evade all questions and get to a personal attack.
This is my first job after graduation and I am sure I am earning more than you did after at least 15 years in the industry.
I know the history of compilers you fucktard. I didn't expect you to program using Grace Hopper's compiler so I gave you Fortran to play with instead. COMPILERS WERE AVAILABLE BEFORE YOU BORN YOU ILLITERATE.
Why don't you pick up a programming book, any programming book. A real one. Not a J2EE one. Pick up let's say Wand et al's "Essentials of Programming Language" and try to solve f the problems. If you can solve them, come back and talk to me. Then you tell me the value of concentrated, mentored, rigorous learning.
These two are the works of very very smart programmers:
1. The Racket source code
2. The Chromium source
* A 43 year old guy who claims to have been programming before the compiler, when compilers actually came out in 1957.
* A guy who can't even defend his ideas and gets defensive when his lack of education is called out and resorts to ad hominem attacks.
* A guy who has no clue about what happens in a good CS program disses the program and tries to defend his poorly researched knowledge with attacks on the person.
* A 43 year old who apparently kills billion dollar deals writing LOL on the internet and spending time looking at the user history.
I have never met a bigger jackass than you. I just started out in the industry but I am more mature, honest and I can guarantee to be a better programmer and a person than you are.
Fucking illiterate, old blow-hard.
>since before there were compilers
The first compiler was written in 1952. The first complete and usable one was introduced in 1957 for FORTRAN.
You sir have no idea of what a computer science education is. You have no idea of what a PhD program is .
If you really think that 6 months of startup is comparative to a PhD in computer science, you are wrong. They both have merits but one is not a substitute for the other.
>Yeah, you can get some basics, and yeah, there's SOME value in compiler design, but nothing you can't get from "Dummies Guide to Compiler Design", which, if it exists, was probably written by a student admin ghosting for a tenured professor.
What the fuck are you rambling about you ILLITERATE OLD FART. Seriously dude. Just because you met some people who are not competent. Just because you got to a point where you think you have made it doesn't mean you can judge things you have no basis of. I don't even want to argue against the OS design course that you just said. Jesus Christ.
There is a reason why your original comment was downvoted to oblivion because those kinds of inane and retarded comments are left in your company and with your employees not amongst people who know that you are a piece of shit.
And go work on your billion dollar deals rather than going through my history. What a fucking tool.
What a fucking joke.
>I've reviewed some of the best projects to come out of todays CS programs as assignments, and I can tell you that they are rote, unimaginative, and lack real-world application value.
What is with the sampling bias? learn statistic much?
>I agree completely. Why so defensive? Huge loan payments due?
>Some of us are natural problem solvers, who absorb and process volumes of information quickly.
I am sure you are.
>killed billion dollar deals because they weren't technically feasible within time and budget constraints,
Yup.
> my educational background is not germane to this discussion.
Your education is important to the discussion.
>Crawl back into your hole, troll, and mind your own business.
Haha fuck off.
Care to comment on this? * Get into a hot startup and listen and learn. The first six months will provide you with more experience than you'd get in a PhD program at any university (short of MIT or Stanford).
With Internet Explorer's native support for HTML5, I thought it would score higher.
