ComputerScience prof. Teaches PLs, among other things. Is totally an anime nerd--for evidence, check out her Inuyasha laptop bag, or the P-Chan pin she wears sometimes. Also, one of her computers is inuyasha.cs.hmc.edu. Don't call her "Professor". Or better yet, do. ---- Quotes: "We don't want to go around exposing private parts" "You might remember from CS70...although you might just remember CS70 like it was Vietnam." ProfessorONeill: That's the advantage of an open book exam: I can't ask you about something you already know, so I have to ask you about something new.<br> Class: But we don't have a book for this class. "Vi is like an infection, and one person passes it on to another." "When you go to a thread, and 'p' on it... that was a terrible use of language there." "Randomized binary trees make ProfessorRan cry." "I can has CS70!" WynnVonnegutt: Could we use some kind of template-like thingy? <br> MelissaONeill: You probably could, but I don't even want to think about that. "So let's say I have a program for assigning grades in CS70, but I don't want you to know it's actually a random number generator." "When I first read this, I thought it said 'Biology + Algorithms = Fail', but then I realized it actually said 'Biology + Algorithms = Fun'!" "I had a whole diatribe this morning, which I'll have to give you for completeness." "I want to insult your intelligence, as I love to do." "I'm uncertain, which is a cool thing for me..." "It is kinda somewhat O-tastic." "It's kinda like if a friend comes to your dorm room and asks, 'Do you have something to eat?' and you hand them a box of crayons." "[[ProfessorKuenning|Geoff]], you are making the world a worse place." "And you would sort of expect that because--oh, no you wouldn't, we just got lucky." On colloquium cookies not showing up one week: "I believe that is what we call a 'first world problem'." We spent time in class, and I learned a thing, and I will never forget it now. That burn I feel is me learning. That'll teach me to copy and paste code. (On [1]++ and similar): I would almost certainly give you full credit, but I would shudder a little. It's a bit "Department of Redundancy Department", but... That's what I get for writing new questions. I should have just got with the "map map" one; it got worse from there... This is where the going gets a little bit weird. If you have the opportunity to join a company and they offer you a position working on their industrial-strength garbage collector, then... Well, if it's a really good team then maybe join. But if you're starting the team, just walk away.
