Is anybody else getting a ton of warning messages every time they make a post today? <_<

I get weird lines of code displaying before it posts. It's been doing it for a couple days now.

"Warning: Function split() is deprecated in ...." blah blah?

Subject unrelated (but that's what this thread is for).

Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

I live in constant fear of people figuring out that I'm not as competent as they've lead themselves to believe I am. People tell me I don't give myself enough credit. I say other people give me too much credit because they don't see the cavernous gaps in my knowledge base.

The only people that would ever see the cavernous gaps are people that are better than you at what you do. Since everyone's satisfied with your work, they'll never know. Besides, even the most useless people can keep their job if management likes them.

I have the opposite problem - I'm easily the most competent programmer where I work and no one realizes it. I'm not even that awesome; I don't think I'm qualified for a job at Valve or Google yet. But everyone else is still following procedures from 20 years ago and my modern programming concepts are terrifying and alien to them.

The average programmer also doesn't realize how sub-par their programming language of choice is.

My 6th sense told me FFXI members were talking sex. I am here now. Resume.

I think they're more useful when metering your mail.

Yes, I meant to screencap and post that last night, but I fell asleep.

In other (somewhat related) news, I have a head cold and I feel like absolute ass. And it's only Tuesday. Shit.

Better than being sick on the weekend and missing fun time.

Yeah, but I have a test tomorrow night and I would rather not feel like I got run over by a dump truck while taking a test.

I will be making a trip to Walgreens for some drugs after work tonight.

Go to have dinner with upperclassmen

One of them asks how I'm understanding everything, I reply "It's pretty much okay, but the constitutional interpretations* are a bitch" (*essentially equivalent to SCOTUS decisions in the US), all of the third and fourth year students look at each other for a moment, going "Constitutional interpretations?", before turning back to me and crying "We don't understand either!"

"A point is moving on the graph of y = x^2 - 1. When the point is at (2,3), its x-coordinate is decreasing by 2 units per second. How fast is the y-coordinate changing at that moment?"

I DON'T KNOW AND I DON'T CARE. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Decreasing by 4 units per second, right?

Apparently I literally do not remember the first thing about calculus and the answer is 8 units per second.

Wtf? How did you get 8? Ugh.

I got 3 increasing, because
2dy/dt + 3(-2) = 0
2dy/dt = 6
dy/dt = 3
y = 3
