ELLIOTTCABLE changed the topic of #elliottcable to: a _better_ cult
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
vigs: lol
<vigs>
HOLY SHIT. So my professor and the dept. head (whose name is Derickson) hate each other so much they can't even be in the same room. In the acknowledgements part of this textbook that my professor wrote, there's a section that starts with "Hey Dickson…"

vigs: oh my god that's so fucking retarded
<devyn>
still, I feel like name-calling is really petty no matter what
<vigs>
Whatever man, I think it's justified, considering their history.
<vigs>
(Although I really shouldn't divulge that since I didn't hear it from the prof, rather one of my friends who's co-authoring a paper with the dude)
<devyn>
lol, okay
<vigs>
Best prof <3

Sorry, lost connection.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I see a lot of that mentality in tech.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
"Your stupid RULES are making my code ugly! ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS MONEY!!!" *runs away screaming to his room*
<vigs>
ELLIOTTCABLE: I can't see how it's small-minded, especially considering that his dislike for administration stems from decades of taking shit from them
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
If you didn't have that administrator reigning your dumb, short-sighted ass in, your company would fail and you'd be unemployed and penniless.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
If that administrator *didn't* keep the view of the economics that you're obviously willfully ignoring, then your school would fail, shut down, and *nobody* would get taught *anything*.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I hate watching the constraints of the real world, get blamed on the fucking people who's entire purpose, job, is to keep those worries from affecting *you*.
<alexgord_>
ELLIOTTCABLE: solution: nationalize them
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
People should admire and thank their managers / administrators / economic people *from their knees*, not curse them and mutter.
<vigs>
I don't think the attitude translates well between academia and the industry. For example, the digital labs have twice as many lab benches as the analog labs. This leaves it on the professor to teach harder/newer material and concepts to twice as many students, often with fewer TAs.
<vigs>
If anything, digital labs should have fewer/as many lab benches, because that content is often much more unfamiliar to the students than those in analog labs.
<vigs>
In fact, the administration has been stripping away resources from the digital courses consistently, in favor of analog labs. This could possibly stem from the department head's background in RF, but that's speculation on my part.
<alexgord_>
At first that will only include UK production of cannabis, drug smuggling and prostitution, but it is expected that illegal employment, gambling, **pirating of software** and fencing of stolen goods will also eventually be included.
<alexgord_>
they're going to include piracy of software in GDP calculations?
<alexgord_>
photoshop will add another 17 trillion to the US gdp
<vigs>
holy shit

lol

they could lower the price

“People doing servers (which wait a lot) and people doing number-crunching (work) think very differently about these things. Transplanting experience/advice from one area to the other can lead to nonsensical conclusions.”
