fuck off, you cunt.
have you seen the webpages of most of these CS gurus? they all look like that. you want to know why? because people like them can't be bought with twitter fucking bootstrap, and they don't want to talk to people like you.
Tex is a mess too honestly
Only losers on /g/ use the organization of their computer as a time sink because, let's face it, they have nothing better to do and they want control of at least something in their life
>>53697732
also, incidentally, the tex format wasn't created so you could marvel at how fucking beautiful its output is without having done any work, it was created to produce printing grade, verifiable and correct typeset. which it still does.
holy fuck
did you use ISO over 3000?

/g/ is literally a behavioral sink
society has become overcrowded, the bustle of facebook, instagram twitter and social media has forced you all out of society because of overwhelming competition and inadequacy to perform
/g/ lurkers divide their time to "personal improvement", no, not in social conduct, physical disciplines, or acquiring virtuous traits, but by meticulous preening their environments and small bubbles of insecurity free from the harsh society sprawl of the modern age
you all spend countless hours combing over your battlestations , desktops, phones, any technological gadget that encourages your needlessly conscientious habits and blind consumerism, it does not matter what kind of fucking font your homescreen has, that the battery icon isn't transparent enough, that your headphone amp has enough vacuum tubes, how perfect your rigs cable management is and your idle temps after reapplying thermal paste this year, what knife youre carrying and what portable headphone amp provides the best mids and highs while strapped to your non-apple sansa clip hoisted against your belt buckle, how monochrome your pocket contents are, what your desktop and terminal look like, how you're working through calc 3 and expecting your bottom barrel computer science degree to take you to anything except a mediocre apartment where you can live alone and finally leave your figurines out of their boxes
women are no object now you have anime, obviously spending 5 hours after work thinking about what monitor would be best to vertically stand up so you can browse your all important arch linux release notes is the true way of life we all aspire towards, time to go check what new massdrops there are, you still need that $50 japanese mechanical pencil and straight razor ivory handle shaving kit, don't you?

Looks like it merely offers buttons for stuff you can type out as well. The problem's not the lack of GUI as much as it's the convoluted syntax, messy semantics and lack of fine control (yes, editing one paragraph's indentation separately is sometimes useful, but TeX doesn't want you to do it)

I can only partly agree. Yes, setting up anything from scratch is a fucking pain in the ass, a clusterfuck.
But if you have a template, and you just have to type away it's pretty convenient.
Import template, import your bibliography and start typing, only worry about content and not about the actual typesetting, referencing, image placement, numbering, etc.

That's because him, and ALL other professors aren't good at what they are professing.

Tex was also very faulty from the get go, while latex fixes some flaws it's still not perfect. The idea was very good, however.
Nobody gives a crap about website design except webdevs. Have you ever tried css? Getting any elements of different types (say, an input and a button; a paragraph and a table; etc.) to align is ridiculously difficult. Why spend hours trying to align two elements when you could be done with a functional website in under 10 minutes?

He hasn't been active in years - he comes to PhD admit weekends, has dinner with the admits and student buddies, and when the faculty introduce themselves his introduction is something like "Hi I'm Don Knuth and I write books occasionally" or something.

Good thing you don't know what scope is and got it wrong. You know like a tenth of one scope strategy which is cool. Given that you are wise and know 10 languages, that's like pretty impressive.
I have no idea what a clearfix is or details about software as a service is because I don't do webdev. I did in 6th grade but it's been too long.
Scope is something that programming in general, including Javascript has though so good job. But that's okay. You don't need to know what scope is because you program through copy-paste and stackoverflow.

That's the point you idiot, web developers who do backend need to know as much about programming as software programmers, with the added bonus of a shit ton more languages and applications

>>53707073
Most of the PhD students in the program are white, some asian, a few indian. Stanford produces more professors "per capita" than most other graduate CS programs, and the trend is that if you go for a PhD here then the assumption is that you're going to go for a professorship.
So no, nobody here is really deferring their career for 5 years. Even if that was the plan, it would be a dangerously ill-advised plan, since a PhD from stanford usually places you out of most of the jobs you would have been looking at when you were applying to grad schools.
generally speaking, everyone looking at an admission here was/is also looking at job offers at highly competitive tech companies (google, facebook, etc...), so the question is whether you want to go into a career as a researcher (in academia or industry), or not.
I think outside of CS there's more pressure to defer your career the way you described because there aren't very many great jobs out there, but CS jobs are plentiful, and people getting into one of the top 5 CS programs in the world out of their undergrad at least on paper make for compelling hires.
>>53707232
as a possible out, you might be thinking of masters programs; we have thousands in the masters program here and it's disproportionately represented by indians and asians. but those are typically 2-year programs, and it seems like that exists to lend a significant helping of credibility to people applying to jobs in the bay area. having an MS from stanford looks good on a resume.
>>53707232
Too bad stanford graduates are the butt of every joke in the research fields of CS.
>>53707107
>9/10 applications of scope
>applications
>applications
Do you really think everything is a tool? Nah that isn't how it works, but you wouldn't know that, coding-by-stackoverflow monkey.
You can't avoid not using scope, and it refers to from where a specific variable can be accessed.
You can control it with words like public/private in oop. In lexical scope languages, where the variable is bound, in dynamic languages, where the variable is called. In some languages scope is determined by file structure, in others, files do not have scope and everything might as well be stitched together....
>>53707300
Really? any memorable jokes or punchlines?
>>53707316
Not in that sense. And I'm strictly speaking about people who work in academia at stanford.
The papers they publish are not reproducible about 50% of the time, compared to results that were already deprecated 10 years ago, yet they claim it's SOTA about 25% of the time, outright lie about their results about another 25% of the time (those values being non-exclusive). On the whole, people take stanford papers with a massive grain of salt (about 1 in 50 papers they publish is actually good - don't want to miss on that!). The only other universities with such bad track records are spanish ones. For some reason, spanish research labs are complete jokes and a typical undergrad from America would be more knowledgeable and more capable of doing research than the local professors.
>>53707312
Hahaha so exactly what I said then? In code and file systems is exactly what I said, now tell me these other 9/10 uses (aka applications of) scope
>>53707382
So again this sounds like something that you could point to. What CS papers are not replicating?
I would buy that a lot of the computational social sciences papers coming out of the CS department are difficult to replicate because they leverage access to Facebook and other datasets that most universities just don't have access to, but if there are 49 papers of 50 that are junk then can you give an example?
I figure a study that didn't replicate would be the easiest to give an example of, because you can post the paper from Stanford and then the subsequent paper that calls that result out, but if another category of paper is easier to illustrate then I'm open to that too.
There's a lot of latitude about where this could go - theory, NLP, AI, etc... - but I'll try to be open-ended about what field you're calling out here.

That's your problem webdev-kun. You think of everything as a tool or a product that you can install. You're not asking the right questions.

1) aren't arxiv comments anonymous? Are there substantive critiques or is it just anonymous sniping?
2) what's the nature of the submission? Is it a work in progress or peer reviewed? I don't use arxiv much because in my lab it's perceived as a lazy way to circumvent peer review.

The effect of discrediting a paper would be more significant than the bump to H-index, which is generally designed to be resistant to that kind of outlier effect anyway (unless someone has made their career around publishing such problematic papers that they get widely cited as being trash).
Which doesn't really happen (again feel free to point out a counter example but this is sounding more and more like someone just complaining)
>>53707708
Arxix submission comments mirror comments from sources like journal or conference submissions. That's one important criterion, because anyone being able to publish anything on arxiv means retards and nobody like to do so as well.
Your lab is fucking retarded if they actually think arxiv has anything to do whatsoever with publication proper. People put their papers on arxiv so it's publicly accessible (unlike what would be the case if you were to publish in pretty much any journal), accessible many months in advance of any conference or journal publication, and reviewable - allowing corrections to be added after a publication, or before submission.

All of our papers are made available through various means; arxiv allows you to submit something that's under review (or not), but the crucial distinction is that you can submit something that's not vetted yet. There are examples of people submitting class papers and even of people submitting something that gets widely discredited and them trying to overwrite the discredited paper with a blank version (but those cases are rare).
Unless you have something more tangible (an example would be the easiest way to illustrate this because you wouldn't have to do any of the argumentation yourself - I would just accept two papers where the second one discredits the first), I don't see any point in continuing this. I feel like the goal posts are pretty reasonable, and I'm not moving them. So it's your call.
Right now it sounds like all the griping about Stanford is sour grapes or something. I get that - I went to a public poorly ranked university for my undergrad and we definitely had a chip on our shoulder, but we didn't take to bitching about it online like this (let alone directing it at any one place).

The H index is determined by the number of papers cited that many times. A single paper widely cited as garbage wouldn't mean anything for a researcher's career. You would need to build an entire CV around that kind of infamy. And that doesn't seem to happen anywhere. People don't make careers of being trolls in academia.
It's also not clear when or where H index would actually help. At no point from graduate school through tenure review is the process for evaluating a researcher so automated that h index would matter. Everyone has a vague ability to see the impact that a researcher has made on his respective community, so gaming h index this way is just dangerous. It's like weaving violently across lanes at 1mph under the speed limit and expecting not to be pulled over

I haven't been on /g/ long, but I have definitlely seen some jaw dropping posts that are the absolute bottom-tier opposite of a stanford phd.
