You managed to segfault in Simulink? What the hell were you doing? I've done a lot with Simulink and I never ran into that problem.


I don't even know.

The best part is I just compiled the model a few more times and it just... went away.

I mean my model still has other problems (tfw when you open a scope, click auto scale, and the y axis goes up to 5 * 10^287)

But who am I to really talk, I had a C executable that kept segfault-ing until I realized that I spelled the input file wrong.

oooh lets make this the thread where we all talk about our dumbest programming mistakes.

The dumbest one I made today was changing the variable input to a sum function, except instead of overriting, I ended up pasting the second variable in the indices of the first variable and spent almost 15 minutes wondering why I was getting out of bounds error, despite the fact that I stared straight at the error at least 3 times.

go me.

Your turn. You can probably just tell us about how you bombed an interview since I assume you don't write much code these days.

I actually really should be writing more code, I've been working on some NLP and Computer Vision stuff in my spare time but getting the libraries to play nice is sometimes a massive hassle.

I embarrassingly couldn't write a unit test on my interview the other day, I never really bothered with unit tests in my Thesis since it would be basically impossible to test in any meaningful way.

2 out of 3 tech interviews I've had so far this year have been Java oriented positions, Java is very straightforwards but the JVM is a memory hog which is kinda annoying. I still love Python, I like dynamically typed languages and its got the best library support for Machine Learning.

Until you use a library where its a complete mind fuck and even your supervisor can't understand the error messages because they're so terse.

Python's great for research oriented projects like my thesis but holy hell some of the numerical computation libraries are a complete headache but are necessary.

Pshh, the only problems you will be having with Java are syntax errors. Now with C++, memory management is painful, even when you think you're qualified after finishing the Effective C++ series.

I used Theano in my thesis and its a bear, but its really powerful because it lets you do GPU computation pretty easily.

So it's basically NumPy and SciPy with GPU support? Looks interesting, but why not use something like R instead?

Mostly because this library was developed specifically for the type of model I was using and I have written quite a bit of python but never used R.
