lol I know right
Zeke
@zbarge

James Draper
@draperjames
R is just as compact as python but the syntax is fucking insane
Zeke
@zbarge
hahaha
James Draper
@draperjames
any time I have look at it I get angry
Zeke
@zbarge
bahaha oh man, thats rough..
James Draper
@draperjames
yeah man most scientist are too lazy and stupid to switch to a better language and I think that is the only reason it's still around
Zeke
@zbarge
how sad
and unfortunate, im sure they could contribute 10x working on a nicer language
James Draper
@draperjames
eh maybe we are better off with out them :wink:
Zeke
@zbarge
haha you'd know better than me
James Draper
@draperjames
idk... did you do college?
Zeke
@zbarge
a community college for AA business admin, and online school for BA business management - marketing...not sure why i did all that.
James Draper
@draperjames
word I did community college too! I got my BS at UNC and I also don't know why I did all that.
I honestly liked community college better I feel like I got to know my professors and the students weren't as stuck up
Zeke
@zbarge
How about that, I wonder sometimes if I would have been better/worse off going to a big college
stuck up people suck...so that doesn't sound fun.
Regardless, i regret my choice of major more than most bad decisions I've made...
James Draper
@draperjames
damn really? I thought I picked the shitty major. all the people I know that did business seem to be doing better than me.
Zeke
@zbarge
I mean it has it's positives, but most of it is common sense. I wish I would've spent my time learning about algorithms and binary trees and all the CS stuff...
whats your major?
James Draper
@draperjames
biology... it was gonna be computational biology but I was a few credits shy of the requirement and I did't wanna pay them anymore money.
Zeke
@zbarge
Ah dang yeah I bet tuition wasn't pretty
_
James Draper
@draperjames
not that that it would have made any difference getting a job. people seem to want you to do either bio or cs
lol college is such a pyramid scheme
Zeke
@zbarge
I believe it
Seems very inefficient too
James Draper
@draperjames
yeah. if I could do it over again I would have just stayed at my moms house and just programmed my nutz off until I got a job
I know a few people that did that and they program for banks and shit now
Zeke
@zbarge
haha sounds like a green track right there - no loans no bills, big employers lol
James Draper
@draperjames
yeah dude. my friend eddie had a collection of bmw's by the time he was my age
all I got is a 2006 honda element :cry:
Zeke
@zbarge
hahaha, maybe not the best way to spend your checks but I bet that felt nice lol
hey those are solid cars :D
I've got an 06 Toyota Corolla lol, little trooper
James Draper
@draperjames
lol yeah its hung in there
Zeke
@zbarge
but yeah - bummer how blindly we make decisions that are big - like school/career
James Draper
@draperjames
lol yeah if someone asks me for life advice idk what I would tell them
We have a webpage now. It looks a little rough but I might fix it up a little bit later. I've been getting into making jekyll websites. If you haven't already you should check jekyll out. Its kinda the shit.
Zeke
@zbarge
nice dude alright ill check it out
Zeke
@zbarge
Hey how goes it? Check out this file when you get a chance...do you think its worth me pushing it over to qtpandas?
