Hi, I'm new here and I was wondering if this is still on hold?
Read Ur pms!
Anyways, wat are u doin these days? Wats keeping u busy?
so weird, using firefox on my dad's freebsd computer, after typing this huge response it just automatically reloaded the page before i hit submit, bam gone.I am a computational biologist and sometimes freelance algorithm developer. Basically a glorified statistician.
really cool, must have some serious math skills.
ya, vim to be more exact this point.. ya screen + console providesextremely fast navigation.. splt screening is also very useful for coding in the top half & compiling in the bottom half, or issuing commands in the first half and tailing logs in the bottom half.. really helpful.
Studied math and chemistry in undergrad. Statistics are def waaaay less fun than the math you learn about as an undergrad but it's a really good field if you wanna have a job. Also a good thing to study if you wanna know how science and evidence works.
What do you do that has you coding so much?
If you want to have fun programming math problems check out http://projecteuler.net/.
It's a great site. It starts off really easy, too save time best initially to use a scripting language like python. The cool thing is after you solve each problem you get forum access to see everyone elses code. There is always some people that write everything in x86 or haskell or some crazy one-liner in J or APL, and you get to look at peoples really interesting efficient code. I have learned about as much on that site about coding math than I learned in 5 years of grad school. Watch out though, they get exponentially hard. I solved the first 50-100 problems in a couple weeks and then they started taking me weeks to solve each one and I had to quit to get work done.
Finally, watch out for the Mac. I had a mac laptop and the mac terminal is set up ALMOST like the unix standards. However, if you write a lot of shell scripts or awk scripts you will invariably write something in linux that isn't portable to your mac. Really annoying but they follow the POSIX standard about 99% of the time and then the 1% of the time ruins you.
Ah, got me there todday, when i say vi i refer to vim, we even have them aliased on our machines, to open vim u type vi

GNU Screen is probably the worlds greatest program. Eliminates the need for so much other stuff that has tons of overhead like dropbox and virtual desktops. Screen is so easy, I might even run it on my phone so I can check jobs I submit to the cluster.
From 1996? Damn I didn't know you could use computers for anything interesting till I started grad school. Really old school. Is that VI days? That's the most difficult editor of all time.
Don't underestimate vi. It may be the most difficult editor ever indeed , takes so much time to learn it and get used to it , but it may also be the most powerful one. Once you get used to the basic features to do your job , you start learning more complicated features, macros etc. This builds up if you use it for work , new needs come up , new ways to cover them are discovered. In the end ( after using it at work for ~8 years ) i prefer vi over any high-tech editor, just personal opinion though.
Adarqui, so the lack of GUI is a matter of choice? Don't understand it. Install one of the most recent linux editions , like ubuntu. You get an easy and friendly gui , pnp for most devices , access to the basic stuff you need ( youtube , flash etc ) and when you get sick of gui just open a terminal , make it full screen, there you are
