I'm not accepting my uni offer. I already have an awesome full time job as a programmer :)

I apologise for being a little blunt, but youre not special in that you can get an alpha of more than 0.15% that the best stockpickers can get. As investing in developed markets is primarily random walk based, short term out performance is not statistically significant. I am not trying to...

Not at all. There have been numerous studies conducted and all unanimously have found that index funds beat the vast majority of index managed funds. Also, Vanguard is an index fund, it is not actively managed. Australia just calls "mutual funds" (the correct and internationally accepted...

Do your own research and you will beat investment advisers 100%. The reason is simple: Investing is a zero sum game. The more fees you pay, the less returns you can get. Just go with low cost index funds like Vanguards. I suggest reading Jack Bogle's Common Sense book on investing. It'll change...

What languages you program in is irrelevant. I'd say I'm fluent in a couple of languages, and know around 8. I've been coding for 5 years.

One week report. Still awesome. Love this job. :D

Start learning how to code and see if you like it. Give it a couple of months before you set your mind. Then remember that the companies you really want to work for hire smart people that has proven themselves, and a degree will hardly give you a job. Make your own programs, apps and websites...

I had my first day of work at a software engineering company. It was amazing. I look forward to tomorrow :D Gl to everyone doing physics!

Yes, which software dev office doesn't have free coffee? heh. Also got a cool tshirt. Confidential information, sorry :( Start working at this company and you'll find out lol.

Time to update everyone :) My first day at the company was fantastic and I'm eagerly looking forward to tomorrow. It does not feel like work at all. It's an amazing place. So delightful to be there. I got along well with everyone! I'd give more details but they are confidential business stuff :)

"Steve has been charged with manslaughter and wants to argue self-defense. His lawyer advised him of the following: * The case may be heard in front of a judge instead of jury. * Self defense is only a partial defense to manslaughter. Which of the lawyer's advice was incorrect? (A) The case...

Requoting, what did everyone do? Relative or absolute?

Not at all, you get to invent your own pseudocode variant!

I expect Q20 to accept both "Lobby to repeal" or "Argue it's unconstitutional". Both are very plausible. Surprised they didn't catch it.

Re: Atar estimate pl0x wrong place 73

It's certainly not real, because the arrays are sorted and if it was all reals it'd be properly sorted. I did 'Strings' but it could have been Strings with other types.

Are you sure it was move down / up (relative)? I interpreted it as what X/Y to move to (absolute), so 15/15, 30/15, 30/30 IIRC. They didn't specify what representation for negative X/y. If it was relative, they would've included 'sign & modulus, two's complement', etc. We'll wait until the...

I'm starting a full time Software Engineering job on Monday and I'm basically doing the HSC for funsies.

Arrays can definitely have multiple types. It's vectors that are all of the same type (vectors are not in HSC syllabus).
