        I had a hard time reading. Could not stop laughing enough to get past the fourth paragraph. Sides hurt, would not recommend.

      Going into physics was the biggest mistake of my life. I should’ve declared CS. I still wouldn’t have any women, but at least I’d be rolling in cash.

      Honestly, there wasn’t all that much cash to roll in and there’s less all the time now. Plus, if you think busted equipment is bad, wait until I tell you about inheriting legacy code.

    Machine Learning enthusiasts: Why settle for linear regression when you can deploy a Gradient-Boosted Random Deep Neural Net Surface Vector Cluster that consumes the entire power of Iceland to trace a perfect ∞-dimensional hypersphere around those blue points? Overparameterization is the future!

      You asked for a line, they gave you a line, what more can be asked for?

      We used to intentionally add wrong data to our datasets so we could circle it afterwards, declare it “outlying data” and gain the extra points for spotting and documenting it.

      I’m not bitter about my formal education, honest…

    Fine! I’ll use a second order polynomial to fit this instead. But that’s the last order I’m willing to go to!
