Where’s the money? C Programming or Python?

Everyone hears about the mean or median earnings of a job. But let’s take a deeper look at annual compensation beyond averages and maybe compare apples and oranges.

I learn how to programatically make stereotypes of people based on the data they give me.

I took Intro to Machine Learning (UD 120) on Udacity both for a glimpse into the subject of machine learning and to see how good Udacity is.

I carpooled to the Los Angeles to go to a convention. I told the denizens of LA of my chaos pyromancy while working on a free and open source video game.

My friend and I met with people from "the lizard booth".

since "chiral separation of stereoisomers D/L-amphetamines" came up at work. (One of them is the illict isomer, and the other is in over-the-counter medication.)

I had given some attention to an old project for an old game server that is no longer online.

I had added:

• 2 new sql(lite3) queries
• a python script
• some edits to a C program

The database pertains to racing in a video game. For a given map, a player can have a score and a velocity; the server only tracks the best 'n' records and the highest velocity.

The results can be seen at:

All the links on this page are SFW. Quake 3 Defrag maps file names are generally prefixed by screen name of the map creator.
