Alex A.

@PhiNotPi Agreed, RIP Alex

Glad to hear it :)

I gotta gtfo now but I'll be back to chat some more

I hope you're enjoying it

That sounds really cool!

Seems legit

@DJMcMayhem Niiiiiiiiiice! What do you do?

I'll make a competing business that's objectively better but no one uses, like GitLab or Lyft.

@DJMcMayhem Excellent

Lisp is great. Julia's parser is written in a Lisp dialect.

@DJMcMayhem Maybe send them my way ;P

That's a really impressive project

@DJMcMayhem Oh wow, who wanted JuMP work?

@mınxomaτ Congrats on being poached! I hear that's illegal for elephants and stuff. I guess it's legal for minx.

@DJMcMayhem I contract with NumFOCUS, which houses the money for the Julia project. We get money from JuliaCon proceeds, grants, donations, etc. It's not a lot of money, but so far it's kept the lights on. And I'd bet anyone who overlapped with me back in the day remembers that I'm a Julia enthusiast. :D

Yes indeed

How about you? Last I recall you were studying law?

And am finishing up my master's in my spare time

I work on Julia full time

6-8 weeks is what they tell me ;P

Just waiting for someone from SE to pull the trigger

I actually still have my diamond for the time being

@EriktheOutgolfer This is pretty weird but thanks

Police raid

I guess I didn't notice. That's too bad.

Also, when did you change your name back, @HelkaHomba?

I thought it was a good joke

That is accurate

Some gems of Yahoo! Answers

Sorry, but I just have to share youtu.be/EShUeudtaFg and youtu.be/15nNY7uofNw

@ATaco Oh, sorry, I misread

@ATaco Folks around these parts do not take kindly to caret spamming

@ATaco Very nice. Please don't use that here.

@Alt-F4 Take this with a grain of salt because I can't speak directly to the quality of their program, but I had a lot of friends who studied CS at UW and loved it. US News ranks the UW CS program as tied for #6 in the nation with University of Illinois Urbana-Champagne (where LLVM was born) and Cornell.

@Dennis Someone, Ostensibly

@Alt-F4 Their CS program is supposedly amazing.

haha

But I'm sure many of the programs don't rank comparably to other schools

@Alt-F4 Huh, I wonder where he heard that. As with all schools, some departments are better than others. Some UW programs are considered some of the best in the world, e.g. the graduate programs in statistics and biostatistics.

Cool! It's a really solid program

My SO did art and animation

What does she want to study?

@DJMcMayhem The workload is brutal. Absolutely brutal. I guess most of the students drop out in the first year. But those who stick it out are pretty sought after by game companies.

For example Martin Ender is a mod here and on Computer Graphics

Yes

@DJMcMayhem My girlfriend went there

Once you're elected, you're a moderator until you resign or die.

Moderation is for life, son

@quartata I had completely forgotten about that

@Pavel The screenshot of the moderator message came from a community manager, not a PPCG site moderator.
