He's talking about inclement weather closings, not scheduled closings.

Yeah, and I probably could have put that into context first. I'm currently snowed in under Snowmeggedon II, so that just made perfect sense to me...not so much to those who don't currently live in Suckville, USA.

Quoted from a friend:

Quote
Why do I find the need to watch every school closing until mine comes up when I already know they don't have school??

I just have to wonder why people still rely on watching scrolling school closings on television in the age of the internet. Somebody is doing something weird.
When scheduling employees, I tend to look at calendar school closing days. It is surprisingly difficult to find that information for K-12 schools. It's a bit easier for colleges and universities.

He's talking about inclement weather closings, not scheduled closings.
I understand that, but the information is not as readily available as it could be.

On a pseudo-related website topic: my boss told me he didn't know how to read HoTMaiL.  I think I was less surprised about his understanding, relative to how shocked I was that he called HTML "hotmail"...

I dunno, if you try to read it all in one go it 'sorta' sounds like Hotmail read in a Japanese accent...

I'm a little late for the Final Fantasy party, but I really disliked VIII. I really enjoy VI. VII is overrated, but still good. And one of my favorites remains IX, which isn't a very popular opinion.

Way back when we were discussing sumif I mentioned that was one I'd never come across. Well I was just trying (and struggling) to work out how to implement a custom leader in one of our TtA games on the spreadsheet, and realised, that sumif thing might be what I want... turns out it did the job in a single pair of formulae. I must say, I am seriously impressed.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

VLOOKUP does stuff you can't do otherwise, but I think SUMIF is more valuable because it does stuff you can do otherwise, just infinitely more simply.  In other words, there are no dumb alternatives to VLOOKUP; you just have to learn and use VLOOKUP.  Whereas it's very easy to implement dumb alternatives to SUMIF not knowing there is a much better solution.

I remember the day I was given access to the company's excel files to clean up the mess they called "formulas"

(I still can't even begin to teach people that they can use the cell they're typing in AS a calculator. Everyone else at work uses a calculator to get the number then puts that number in Excel... le sigh)

I just spent 10 hours writing Connect-Four in C involving forks and pipes, and I can't even play it; it's only a simulation. X_X

Man, programming is hard.

C is a tad more difficult than most languages you're likely to actually program.

Connect four sounds a lot more fun than anything I did when I first learned programming.

I made a Java applet that drew Mandelbrot-pictures and had a zoom-function back in university.
It even had different color schemes! Got an A+ of course.  ;D

Haskell is beautiful:
Code: [Select]
Prelude> let primes = sieve [2..] where sieve (x:xs) = x : sieve [y | y <- xs, y `mod` x /= 0]
Prelude> take 20 primes
[2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71]

When I took the functional programming course we had a customized version of Haskell called Helium.
I was so used to imperative programming that I thought "meh, how good can this be"?
But then I learned the beauty of the mathematical statements and easy recursion with head and tail functionality, oh the elegance.

I'm almost a bit sad that in my day job I still use C# and Java most of the time. If only I could work on a project which used F# for instance.

To be fair, neither C# nor F# is nearly as common as G, D, or even Ab.
