jonathan___What is the Aptamer Base?07:05
jonathan___The Aptamer Base is a collaboratively created knowledge base about aptamers. Aptamers are short sinlge stranded nucleic acids or amino acid polymers that recognize and bind to targets with high affinity and selectivity. Nucleic acid aptamers are tipically isolated from large combinatorial libraries through the application of SELEX. The Aptamer Base has been built on Freebase (a free openly licensed community built resource for07:05
jonathan___structured data). Freebase organizes over 360 million facts into bases, collections of thematically related topics. The Aptamer Base is one such collection which contains expert curated descriptions of in vitro created sequences and related experiments.07:05

kanzurethere were two girls in that lawsuit originally18:35
kanzurethe one that isn't mentioned in the article went to middle and high school with me. rode my bus.18:35
jonathan___since I was the only white guy in a program otherwise filled with 30 asians/indians18:36
kanzureshe was complaining about these problems back then. hehe.18:36
kanzure(rachel michalewicz)18:37
kanzureit took me like 4 years to figure out how to spell her name, until i found a students.csv sitting on a server somewhere.18:37
kanzureanywho i got into ut austin using the top 10% rule18:39
kanzureand she was classize+1 person away from being included in top 10% or something.18:39

jonathan___wow18:40
jonathan___how on earth are you the 10%18:40
kanzurehuh? anyone in top 10% counts. so top 1%, 3%, 5% etc.18:41
jonathan___Ohhh18:41
yashgarothtop 10% of what18:41
kanzureshitty rule, though. #5 was a good person, studious, but was particularly clever about picking only classes that were guaranteed to keep a high gpa.18:42
kanzuregraduating class of the given school18:42
yashgarothah18:42
jonathan___Not sure how electrical engineering can possibly be affirmative action if everyone in the class is asian.  Hm, well I did have a lot of mexican immigrants in my classes too.  just zero white guys..  not very affirmative I guess.18:42
gradstudentbotGod, I'm going to quit.18:42
kanzuregradstudentbot: you can't quit, you have a paper to write.18:42
gradstudentbotYeah, but who gets to be first author?18:42
-!- klafka [~klafka@c-24-6-18-31.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap18:43
jonathan___Hm, I slept thru calculus class because was up too late at night writing uber codez18:43
jonathan___I don't think I would have made it in the top 1%.  10% not sure.18:44
kanzurei took calculus before i could write fluent latex, and as a result all of calculus notes are in html.18:44
kanzurehuh, didn't know this.. "In 2011, Michalewicz withdrew from the case, leaving Fisher as the sole plaintiff.[5][8]"18:44
jonathan___I remember one of the top %'er girls getting rejected from uc berkeley. supposedly she cried all night.  asian born in the u.s. to immigrant parents.   she later got in, on appeal.18:45
kanzureit's stupid anyway, you can get in anywhere after a year of community college or if you become an employee in some cases18:45
jonathan___I would guess texas has much better high schools than california anyway, california is one of the lower qualities18:46
kanzureut austin seemed to be the same as anywhere else. lots of extra resources. typical large-student intro classes.18:46
yashgarothdepends what city, like anywhere18:46
kanzurethey wanted me to write visual basic scripts in the engineering intro course.. with excel macros.18:47
kanzurewas not impressed18:47

jonathan___Hm18:48
jonathan___They really should have special tracks for some kids for sure.18:48
jonathan___I could have finished an entire CS degree in parallel with high school no problem.18:49
kanzuremy special track was "work 3 lab jobs, hang out with cynical phd students, coauthor some papers with gradstudentbot, then drop out"18:49
gradstudentbotAm I going to be first author?18:49
jonathan___maybe something like:  audit the entire first 2 years of undergrad.18:49
kanzurei think auditing is a good idea18:49
kanzurei should have audited the courses that actually mattered. like the 400-level mechanical and electrical engineering courses.18:49
kanzureit would be nice to actually know how to spell thievenen18:50
jonathan___I audited some business classes.. lol..  could not believe the college kids complaining about how hard the quizzes were, what.18:50
kanzurebut yeah, a CS degree while in high school is definitely doable18:50
jonathan___Unfortunately it ends up with the problem of being super young in the workplace then attempting to delegate work to 45 y/o's ... some of them are cool with this, some are not.18:51
kanzureall of the intro courses were just so disappointing. what i needed to be forced to do was write compilers and grammars and haskell, and instead they wanted me to write windows script host and re-re-re-study the dot product or partial differential equations.18:51
kanzureare you delegating work to people significantly older than you/18:52
jonathan___definitely18:52
jonathan___especially out of college18:52
jonathan___just cause their title says "senior engineer" doesnt mean smart enough to get the job done..  it basically means, been around longer..  often doing a not-so-great job18:53
jonathan___I remember several coworkers really took things very poorly..  imagine being handed a stack of specification document from a young kid and they can't understand how to implement it then I have to train them how to do it18:54
jonathan___and then they still just squeak by18:54
kanzurei am a big fan of the "arrive to a meeting over-prepared" method18:55
kanzurewhere you show up with the plans that you recommend18:55
kanzuresince nobody else does this, usually your plans will be accepted18:55
kanzurei have had no problems with teaching older people how to do things18:56
kanzuretoday i gave a presentation about git to some people that are 3x my age18:56
kanzurethey really appreciated it and thanked me profusely18:56
jonathan___well, did they show up voluntarily?  If so they already were open to it.18:56
kanzureit was simple things like "don't call it origin, call it github" and "don't pull, use fetch and merge" and other platitudes.18:56
kanzureoh good point, yes it was voluntary18:56
kanzureok evidence retracted18:57
jonathan___one comment I've heard a lot thru the years, after I learn a new whatever in a couple weeks.  the senior guys like this will say "but you're young, so you can still learn fast"18:58
jonathan___um, how about:  "you're dumb, so you'll never get it anyway"18:58
kanzurehaha, right, the "we'll just attribute it to the fact that you're young'18:59
kanzureoops i mean ". shift key problems today.18:59
jonathan___what is the perfect engineering job which can be done 100% remote and 100% without any hardware other than a laptop?19:01
gradstudentbotI'm glad you brought that up, I'm going to do that right now.19:01
jonathan___perfect meaning combination of:   highest pay, easiest work, fewest hours.19:01
kanzurejonathan___: software19:01

jonathan___we'll catch up later when my wifi connection is better.  dropouts are lame.19:52
kanzurejonathan___: ok. i was just going to describe a failure mode of memory that allows for 'bit squatting'. it's like domain name typo squatting except for memory failure causing a phone to send a different url. so i was thinking of bit squatting some ad networks to collect their errant data.19:53
ryankarasonuse mumble:) it works with pretty low latency.19:53
jonathan___ironic they call it mumble then eh?19:54
ryankarasonhaha19:54
ryankarasonwhat i like about mumble is it takes out the noise from audio before it sends across the wire19:54
ryankarasonso you end up getting a higher good bit rate19:54
jonathan___Um, at least that's what they say19:55
ryankarasonright right19:55
jonathan___voice compression algs already do that19:55
ryankarasonbut i have hosted a mumble server on a raspberry pi with crappy internet19:55
skyLotusI'm looking into majors to pursue and I'm wondering if any of you can give some insight on what I'm thinking about19:55
ryankarasonand i was able to host 3 or 4 people without any noticeable lags19:55
jonathan___don't major in BIO19:55
kanzurebiology is the worst thing to major in, if you want to be employable19:56
jonathan___well raspberry pi has more than enough cpu power for multiple voice channels.. estimate 35 Mhz per channel.19:56
skyLotuswhat about biomedical engineering?19:56
ryankarasonjonathan___: good point.19:56
jonathan___heard complaints about biomed eng19:56

skyLotusYeah, my whole life I've been really interested in computers. When I look at the list of topics for a CS / CE major I know a great deal about most of the topics but, I don't really think I want to pursue it as my major19:58

kanzureagreed20:02
skyLotusWell java is the course I'm signed up for and so it's what im going to learn first20:02
jonathan___or 2nd or 3rd even20:02
kanzuredon't bother with a course20:02
jonathan___a couple software courses are good20:03
kanzureyou can learn over the internet by bugging angry irc people20:03
skyLotusI've worked a little bit with python, java, c++ and a couple other programming languages20:03
jonathan___just do all the homework and software on your own, refuse to work with a team, they'll just slow you down20:03
skyLotusyeah, i'm taking an online course from udacity atm20:03
skyLotusit's pretty good20:04
kanzurejonathan___: "refuse to work with a team" is nice in theory, but in practice wont help someone with zero experience20:04
kanzurejonathan___: i think working with a team of more experienced people is ok20:04
kanzureskyLotus: i highly recommend not using udacity. their programming courses are sub-par.20:04
skyLotus:\20:04
jonathan___my team was my copy of K&R, lol20:04
kanzurejonathan___: i have a friend that learned programming on udacity, but doesn't know the difference between return/print.20:04
ryankarasoni had no problem getting a cs job in the midwest20:04
kanzureryankarason: yeah, because nobody wants them20:04
kanzureand they pay low20:05
skyLotusWell I started learning programming when I was in 7th grade20:05
kanzureskyLotus: too old20:05
ryankarasoni also agree don't go to college. plenty to learn about programming online20:05
kanzureskyLotus: should have started when you were in the womb20:05
ryankarasonkanzure: i think it is getting better, but maybe my opinion is too biased.20:05
jonathan___go to college but take a major like art or something20:05
kanzureskyLotus: you can achieve a lot without classes20:05
ryankarasoni concur.20:05
skyLotusso even though the course isn't the best it's okay because i have alot of knowledge from learning before and i'm getting through it now20:05
ryankarasonalso, MIT open courseware20:05
kanzuremit open courseware doesn't teach programming that well, either20:06
skyLotusthe thing is... without a course I haven't really got myself to learn programming20:06
kanzurehow about peer pressure?20:06
kanzureor guilt20:06
skyLotusi have so many other priorities20:06
kanzurewe can guilt you20:06
ryankarasonbut as for programming langauges to learn, if you want to have fun; do Common Lisp.20:06
kanzurejonathan___: my phone has no log of our call20:06
jonathan___your problem is discipline, eh20:06
kanzurejonathan___: i think something really broke on my end20:06
ryankarasonand school's don't teach discipline20:06
jonathan___haha  totally nsa20:07
skyLotushey that would be nice, you guys can guilt me into finishing java and maybe working with it when I'm done with the course20:07
jonathan___cia and kgb too20:07
skyLotusit's not really discipline it's just other priorities20:07
* ryankarason is starting to get curious what ya'll are talking about such that all the worlds goverment agencys are blocking it20:07
gradstudentbotYeah, it's significant.20:07
jonathan___gradstudentbot: have you filed a patent yet20:07
gradstudentbotI haven't written the abstract.20:07
ryankarasonskyLotus: maybe try to find a way to merge priorities20:07
jonathan___Common Lisp, that is not useful at all20:08
kanzureryankarason: just normal business stuff, jonathan___ wanted the scoop on some things that aren't appropriate to dump into an irc channel20:08
jonathan___I have never seen a recruiting ad that says "Must be Rockstar in Common Lisp"20:08
skyLotuswell, that's what I am doing I started to go to college and I decided to take a programming course20:08
skyLotusanyway thats kind of beside the point20:09
ryankarasonkanzure: ah, that is sensible.20:09
skyLotusI'm trying to decide what to major in20:09
kanzureskyLotus: well, just know that you can achieve a lot without doing those things. programming is a great option. biology less so. you can do biology, but you should learn it through community college or as a hobby.20:09
ryankarasonjonathan___: i would agree, but learning lisp is about learning how to approach a program in new ways20:09
jonathan___go with whatever major has the hottest girls.  It works for the majority of the population.20:09
ryankarasonand maybe major languages are starting to pull ideas from CL20:09
ryankarasonsuch as Java 8 is planning to introduce lambdas.20:09
kanzurejonathan___: sadly, that's reasonably good advice. maybe some bachelors of arts degree program, in journalism or something.20:09
jonathan___I would suggest that learning to program is done by hand assembling machine code. pbbbt20:10
kanzurepbbbt == pffft?20:10
ryankarasoni really really want to learn more about biology20:10
ryankarasonand also about its merge with computer sciences20:10
jonathan___pbbbbt is pffft but more spit lol20:10
kanzurehttp://diyhpl.us/wiki/diybio/faq/books20:10
ryankarasonthanks kanzure !20:10
kanzuregradstudentbot: calculate the spit ratio20:10
gradstudentbotI think I'm going to do industry.20:10
jonathan___db/dt pbbbt = pffft20:11
ryankarasoni really enjoyed biology and chemistry in high school. just never had the opportunity to take much of them in college20:11
ryankarasoni need to see if there are any diybio groups in my area20:11
kanzurehttp://diyhpl.us/wiki/diybio/groups20:11
skyLotusI want to take biomedical engineering at school, I'm just not sure that's the right choice20:11
jonathan___biochem eng is far superior to BIO from what I've seen20:12
jonathan___there is no right choice except Highest Salary20:12
kanzurejonathan___: right now biology labor is really really cheap, i'm trying to figure out how to take advantage of this20:12
jonathan___"do what you love" is what your mom will say right after "don't worry you're a good looking man, to me"20:12
jonathan___Highest Salary guy could end up doing the exact same work as the Lame Major guy, in the end, except with the obvious difference20:13
skyLotusSo do any of you do any diybio on your own?20:14
ryankarasonkanzure: :( no Ohio groups.20:14
jonathan___find a way to get your college paid for, is another way20:14
skyLotusI'm just not gonna worry about it right20:14
skyLotusnow20:14
skyLotusI've got some plans how I'm getting college paid for20:14
skyLotusI'm thinking of what to do with my future20:14

jonathan___isn't that like... poverty level or something?20:19
kanzureskyLotus: 1) memory, i force myself to type out urls by hand, 2) i wrote a custom flat-file bookmarking system, 3) i want to use http://pinboard.in/ eventually20:19

skyLotusSo you said that I don't need a degree if I go into programming?20:35
kanzureyou don't need a degree to do programming20:36
skyLotusDo any you have any experience with getting programming work without a degree20:36
yashgarothyes he does20:37
skyLotushow does that work? Do you just do your own projects and hope for something to be good enough for people to pay for it, or do you get a job?20:38
kanzureyou can do both, but the second one (get a job) is much more likely to work.20:39
kanzurewtf, i was just on a phone call and mentioned phosphoric acid20:39
skyLotusWhen applying to jobs do you just send them code of what you've already made and that's what they use to evaluate you?20:40
kanzureand then i received spam selling phosphoric acid20:40
kanzure(i get the weirdest spam)20:40
kanzurebut this seems to be extremely unlikely to be coincidence20:40
skyLotushaha strange...20:40
kanzureskyLotus: sort of. depending on who the company is, you show them a very specific example project or two.20:40
skyLotusI see20:41
kanzureskyLotus: for example, for a company in the bay area (like san francisco or mountain view), you would do a project in python/flask, python/django, ruby/rails, ruby/sinatra, javascript, something like that, to demonstrate your ability. then you would schedule an interview, where you would hear about the problems the company has, and then you get hired.20:41
kanzure(you would intentionally show that project to each person you are talking with)20:42

skyLotusYeah I'm going to have to make a choice eventually what I end up doing20:43
ryankarasonmy suggestion is to make a github account and publicly post and opensource your softwarez20:43
skyLotusfor me personally, I find it hard to really concentrate on one subject20:43
ryankarasonthe cool thing about computer science is it is embedded in every subject20:44
skyLotusI want to learn everything but it's not really possible20:44
ryankarasonor at least has the potential to be20:44
kanzureryankarason: no, they don't actually look at your github account. while it's true that you should make a git repository and put it on github, they wont actually look.20:44
ryankarasonkanzure: interesting.20:44
kanzureryankarason: i've gone through 50+ interviews and i can guarantee you that nobody looks at your github repos, no matter how many you have: http://github.com/kanzure20:44
ryankarasoninteresting.20:44
kanzure(the reason i go through those interviews is because i'm really picky)20:45
skyLotusKanzure how do you decide on a company to work for, are you interested in working in startups or in estalished companies?20:45
ryankarasonah. makes sense to be20:45
ryankarasonit is *your* future.20:45
jonathan___DSP engineer requires a fair degree of high level math which is very difficult to learn independently20:46
kanzureskyLotus: i am interested in being paid, so i work for whoever pays me.20:46
ryankarasoni believe i have known people whom their github accnt has been look at by a company, but these were startups i believe20:46
kanzurestartups sometimes look, but not always20:46
ryankarason$ is useful.20:46
ryankarasonkanzure: if you had to suggestion any one starter diybio book to purchase, could you?20:47
kanzureno. don't buy books.20:47
kanzurehttp://diyhpl.us/wiki/diybio/faq/books20:47
jonathan___"current protocols in molecular biology"20:48
kanzure"current methods in molecular biology" is a larger series than current protocols, also worth it20:48

kanzurejonathan___: what about transcriptic? have you considered them?20:54
kanzureryankarason: http://libgen.net/20:54
jonathan___I'm only so-so interested in continnuing with the robotics work because it is lab oriented and I'd rather not have to go into a lab anymore20:55
jonathan___Hodak sent me email long ago very eager to talk to me20:56
skyLotusso you don't really recommend I learn java first, but let's say thats what I do. Do you have any recommendations what I should do after that?20:57
kanzurehodak is probably in the "buckle down" phase while he gets revenues higher so he can pay for his engineering force20:57
kanzureskyLotus: if you insist on java, then you should learn spring or jboss or something, whatever is hot in the java world. make sure you use maven or ant.20:58
kanzureskyLotus: but other than that, you should use python, or even jython if you insist on java/jvm things. python is a great place to start.20:58
jonathan___"According to an SEC filing, Zynga’s unsecured credit line has been cut from $1 billion to $200 million. Zynga also recently cut 18% of its staff. "   .... easy come easy go20:58

kanzurehaha who the hell wants to write for libreoffice, jeeze20:59
kanzurethat code base was not fun20:59
ryankarasonlearn Clojure after Java:)20:59
jonathan___learn objective c after java, then you can make money while you learn21:00
kanzureyou can get paid a reasonable wage in the mid-west as a java drone, but you can make more doing other things literally everywhere else21:00
skyLotuswell I'm pretty much locked in to learning java right now and learning java is better than learning no programming. If I want to continue after learning java python would be a good choice you think?21:02
ryankarasonwhat about Jython?21:03
skyLotusshould i get practice using for a while with java and then after a couple months do python?21:03
skyLotuswhen will I know I'm ready21:03
kanzurei think you should do python right now, like 5 minutes ago. it's really easy.21:03
ryankarasonhttp://www.jython.org/index.html21:04
ryankarason:P~21:04
kanzureryankarason: i think jython might be a bad idea actually, i was sort of being sarcastic.. the jvm access is nice, but totally unnecessary.21:04
skyLotusdoes anyone actually use jython for anything?21:04

ryankarasonjvm does have its benefits. it is really interesting how many languages are starting to move over to being built on top of it21:07
skyLotusOkay, well. I'm just going to learn what I'm learning. Probably not the best in the long run but I'll know for next time to become a bit more informed in what I'm doing.21:07
skyLotusI'm going to stick around in this irc and stop in more often and you guys can hold my feet to the fire about learning it :)21:08
ryankarasonmy personal thought about programming languages is highly dependent upon what i want to do with the language. if i was doing web development i would use Ruby, if i were doing fancy shell hacking, i use Python. if i were trying to enjoy myself i would use Common Lisp. if i were going to prototype something quickly, i would use Java.21:08
jonathan___skyLotus what's your age?21:09
skyLotusI'm 2021:09
gradstudentbotYeah, that's a really good question. I don't know, but I'll have to look into that.21:10
jonathan___If I were writing any code that is not dependent on cpu usage or a GUI, I would use python pretty much period.21:10
kanzureyup21:10
kanzurejava is worth knowing eventually, but a 20 year old isn't going to get hired for java chops, he's going to get hired for python chops21:10
ryankarasoninteresting. i personally don't write any python.21:10
ryankarasonbut i can read it.21:11
kanzurewell, ruby is also an acceptable replacement in my sentence21:11
skyLotuswhy what makes the difference in being hired for one language over another?21:11
kanzureexcept ruby isn't fun to read21:11
gradstudentbotCan I defend with just one aim done?21:11
kanzureskyLotus: there is market demand for skills in different languages. i know it sounds stupid, but that's the way the world ticks right now.21:12
ryankarasonright, you need to find out what industry is using.21:12
ryankarasonthose from my experience they seem to do alot of Java and C#21:12
kanzureC# is pretty much mid-west only :)21:12
skyLotusI really don't know much aout how the industry looks and it's something I should learn to get better at21:12
