yep, team building with people i never met again

I did not go after the first couple days because I quickly realized it was a waste of time

I had fun at mine, as best as I can remember

I know I snuck in and did them again as a sophomore/junior

there was only like, 1 mathphys person and I have never seen them again

so I think they dropped

i was bored out of my mind but i had to do it so i could register for classes

everyone else was buisness science

I know I could look it up, but does UWaterloo have a good graduation rate?

idk

I know it's a selective school, so I imagine it does

I know a lot of people do not make it through physics and drop into general science

Man, I'm slow today it would seem

physics is under physical science which is probably quite a bit lower than the 75.9 it is showing

since physical sciences also has some easier degrees

I'm surprised cs is that much lower than normal engineering

interesting how the Engineering grad rate is so high

Depends which programs they have

optometry 100%

cs is prob out best program at this school

school of optometry is also very good

and the only one or one of two in canada iirc

very selective

i wonder how many competent CS grads you actually produce

^

selectivity doesn't mean you get people who can think right

CS programs are weird in general

just people who can memorize rules

being able to write code that can solve specific problem does not mean you wrote GOOD code to solve the problem

I know a good number of CS grads, most of them say the same thing, That it's clear from day 1 who will be the top of the class, and who will scrape-by or wash-out

stackoverflow

unroll all of your loops

write everything in a single function

use for loops with a pass as a timer

most people just go straight into the workforce

from cs

so idk

Entry level pay for CS grads is shit, because most companies don't know what quality of coder they're getting

Though CS has one of the higher 3-year out average salaries

iirc cs coops from my school make anywhere from minimum to 30 an hour typically depending on the job

Is Canada a country that always computes wages as a per hour rate?

I know that's a regional thing, differs country-to-country

i made 18 an hour for my internship that i literally sat in front of a computer watching TED talks every day because they never gave me any work

I mean, that's what I do

I use hourly

some might do yearly/monthly idk

I only ever see/hear people talk about annual pay

I think that's a very American thing

i make around $32 an hour but i'm salaried

Now that I think about it, my family also talks about it hourly

and other people I talk with

so it is likely the more common method here

I think a one or two dollar hourly difference looks insignificant, even though I know that it makes huge difference over time

It's one of those obvious things that I just brush over

Also depends on how many hours you work

monthly can be thousands more if you do 2 more hours a day than another person for the same hourly

Canada does a 40 hour workweek, right?

I believe so

LOL

Part of me assumed it had to be a troll at first

But no troll is going to delete a post to make a joke

Also Pika, are you even aware of how to read that image?

^

top to bottom?

no you have to mirror the image then convert it to french

top to just before the bottom

the bottom is the important bit

emphasized

welp

bug fixing spicy

So... it did crash the site

Nice

It was tracking real-time viewership of tens of thousands of pages

rip

why?

why wasn't it just a database keeping track of numbers
