Most of the info contained herein will only be useful if you find yourself on Jeopardy, or @Who wants to (whatever)”….maybe even not then, but you will learn, possibly be entertained and hey, we still have unsolved murders in SLO.

What is it? An object-oriented scripting language. Event-driven, loosely based on Java.
It is functional and imperative to the Interwebz.
Who created it?
Brendan Eich designed it for Netscape in 1995. Volunteers at mozilla.org, other sites and individuals have since expanded the language
What languages was it inspired by?
Java (duh), C, Perl,Lua, Scheme, Python, AWK too many to list.
What languages credit it for inspiration?
ActionScript (Adobe), JScript (Sun nee Oracle), CoffeeScript, Perl 6, .NET, Objective-J (that’s not a typo) QML, again too many to list.
Why is it so popular?
Netscape marketing cleverly piggy backed on the name of the right
Web language (Java, a fully functional language that runs servers, cars, street lights, toasters, you name it. >3 billion pieces of crap made in China run Java) *also*
It allowed for Dynamic Hypertext Markup….see how your FB feed and likes pop up likes and posts w/o
refreshing the page? Yeah, they invented that 20 years ago in Mountain View.
Also, without getting too technical, it runs on YOUR device, making it faster.
What about MariaDB? I know about MySQL and Google’s Big Data, but….(?)
From en.wikipedia.org “MariaDB is a community-developed fork of the MySQL relational database management system intended to remain free under the GNU GPL. Development is led by some of the original developers of MySQL, who forked it due to concerns over its acquisition by Oracle.Contributors are required to share their copyright with the MariaDB Foundation.” I paraphrased out some of the detritus. Tech Geeks it’s on GitHub.
What the heck is Hack? Keeping it simple, a scripting language ready-made-to-order for PHP 5 and Facebook…. also you cannot define local variables (if that makes no sense to you it’s cool just move on….) Go? It’s from the wizard programmers at Google. A language and two compilers. They’re trying to keep all the good things about c/c++/Java and improve the rest. It makes BitCoin transactions faster, nuff said? Erlang? A language you’ll likely never deal with unless you work at a server farm. Users clutter up intranets and networks, Erlang is a good janitor. Programmers can hot swap data; changing stuff without crashing Outlook. It’s made for real time systems (like when NASA tries to safely land a Mars rover, or when a million people try to watch the Game of Thrones preview at once). You don’t need to how…. that’s pretty much graduate level compsci and anything past the fundamentals are way past the scope of this clip. Voldemort(????) a distributed data store that holds key values (IDs) from the good folks at LinkedIn for high-scalability. Yeah…. they named it after a Harry Potter character.
That’s all for now dudes and dude-ettes. *Phew* I did this whole post on an iPhone.
After pointing out so eloquently that this writer was a “typical pretentious trumpet” (yes you read that correct dear reader, he think I’m a small-bore-earthworm-shooter!) Doug-E-Fresh would roll over in his grave. *Aaaaaaaaanywayz……*
A GS of his name revealed the commonly-named man had died in a freakish homo-erotic asphyxiation incident a few years back.1 For those who don’t know, I refer you to the TV show “Six Feet Under” starring Michael C. Hall. Whom this writer met (name drop alert) at a Ralphs near Hollywood & Highland. Myself and my lady-friend were absolutely starstruck.
Picture your fav TV show. Burn Notice, Mr. Robot, Better Call Saul, Big Little Lies, Orange is the new Black…..then picture yourself in line behind them at RALPHS. What do you say/do? Nothing? Well dear reader I could not. After he paid for his goods; I got his attention;
“Excuse m-m-m-me, Michael?”
“Yes?”
“I just wanted to tell you [remember this is ca. 2006-7] that “Dexter” is BY FAR the most well-written, well directed and produced series on television right now. My friend and I wait with baited breathe for the debut of each and every next episode. We watch it live whenever it airs.”
[surprisingly, he said] “:You know, not many people take the time to come up to me and say that…I work hard at what I do, what you just said means a lot….thank you”
1 notice. The story about MCH is real; the death of B. Gainer is not. It is as Mr. T would have it “fake news” you want fake? Ill spooned it to you; but it will be appropriately labeled as Editorial.

This is a test in more than one way, I’m trying to see if I can create different sorts of tests, have the server grade them and issue results, perhaps [later] even a custom badge to prove you passed. If you are a regular reader of this site, there is a good chance you know a bit of science, electrical engineering, math[s] and therefore; computer science, that lofty endeavor that sounded like a great thing to major in [since you like video games & are good at math] but became questionable after you’d written your 2 millionth line of code a few years later. If you’re like me it was overkill, it made you hate C/C++/Java/Java(something) to the point of changing majors. Fifteen years later though, after an appropriate break from it all; the numbers (ints, bytes, floats, doubles, shorts, longs, unsigned longs, signed longs, real, imaginary, rational,irrational, natural, transcendental*) the abstract data types (list, stack queue..) the procedures (void goFuckYourself(Object UselessObject)), the functions (int foobar(){return 42;}) the Integreted Development Environments (IDEs), Dev Kits (JDK, SDK..), Runtime Environments (JRE….) Libraries (the STL, .h files you wrote yourself, import someCoolObjects, #include ….they all became intersting again. Well, if you’re ever going to finish that CSC project you never could put together, that problem you could never solve, that cool program you never had enough time to write…well you’re going to have to review the basics.
The first test will be OUR first “test of the test” so all the answers will be Integers; for the math guys, lets call this “all the natural numbers less than the largest int allowed by the Java Runtime Environment, which is ~= 65,000. That is, 1 is a valid answer, 1.5 is not (that’s a Rational number or a “float” in computer speak), 4 is valid, -4 is not (IndexOutOfBounds or, -4 < 1). 60,000 is valid, 70,000 is not (70,000>65k)…get it? ok let’s start with a review of our number systems; Base 10 (the one humans developed because we have 8 fingers and two thumbs), Binary, (developed by humans to represent an extremely low voltage as opposed to”slightly more than an extremely low voltage…we also developed it millenia beforehand the answer to an unambiguous yes/no question ie “are you wearing clean underwear right now — you either are or you aren’t, there is no in-between, it is also the unambigous result of a test — pass/fail, true/false…using numbers it is a Base 2 system; that is all numbers are represented by a 1 or a zero) and Hexadecimal (a Base 16 system developed as short-hand for Binary Numbers, 0 – f, commonly used today to define colors in RGB-Space)

Question 1 of 15
1. Question
Category: Binary
Enter zero in binary
Correct
yep.
Incorrect
ouch! maybe this test isnt for you
Question 2 of 15
2. Question
Category: Binary
Convert two to Binary (hint – use two significant digits)
Correct
“ten” is correct!
Incorrect
no… zero = 0 and 1 = 1; but 2 = ???? (remember this system only counts using 1’s & zeros).
Hint
9 + 1 require us to add 1 significant digit in base 10 represent it, so in binary this is the same as adding 1 to 1 in bin (or 1+1)
Question 3 of 15
3. Question
Category: Binary
A byte is made of how many bits? Answer in Base 10.
Correct
easy.
Incorrect
no, are you a programmer or an IT guy?
Question 4 of 15
4. Question
Category: Binary
Convert six to Binary (use three significant digits)
Correct
Nice!
Incorrect
no, remember if 0=0 and 1=1, then 2 = 11, so 3 = 100, that mean 4 = 101 and 5 is 110, so 6 can only be ???
Question 5 of 15
5. Question
Category: Base 10
two to the sixth power = ??
Correct
yep, did you know most modern systems are 64-bit?
Incorrect
cmon; you should know this…
Hint
in pseudocode, it would look like power(x,y) where power is a function that returns x to the yth power.
example- power(2,3) returns 8.
Question 6 of 15
6. Question
Category: Base 10
4! aka “four factorial” or in pseudocode, factorial(4) is?
Correct
all day long.
Incorrect
negative Scotty.
Hint
4*3*?*?=??
Question 7 of 15
7. Question
Category: Base 10
how many combinations of rolls are in a game of craps?
Correct
boxcars*3…you got it!
Incorrect
cmon, you didnt roll them bones when you were a kid?
Question 8 of 15
8. Question
Category: Base 10
8 times 7 is ??
Correct
nice – most people need a calculator to verify this one, you’re not cheating are you?
Incorrect
ouch -better grab a times table
Question 9 of 15
9. Question
Category: Base 10
You live 60 miles away from me, I’m coming to see you right now, I’ll be driving sixty miles per hour, how many hours will it take for me to arrive?
Correct
yep- I’m not really on my way, sorry. I know how bummed you must be
Incorrect
really? did you get past 6th grade?
Question 10 of 15
10. Question
Category: Base 10
sans a subscript, we assume that the function log(x) means log10(x); so calculate log(1)
Correct
good one – we have to understand logs if we’re ever going to get off the ground in computer science….
Incorrect
wrong. if you’re going to cheat, at least look up why the answer is what it is
Hint
definition – logB A = X means that B^X = A, log 10 = 1, log 100 = 2
Question 11 of 15
11. Question
Category: Hexadecimal
What comes after 9 in hex?, that is, compute 9+1, convert the answer from base 10 to hex, then type it (lowercase ok….that’s a clue)
Correct
heyheyhey…”a” is aight!
Incorrect
no, hex uses a different stand-in for “ten”
Question 12 of 15
12. Question
Category: Hexadecimal
Covert 15 from Base 10 to Hex.
Correct
f-you too buddy! 😉
Incorrect
wrong…may as well look it up dummy.
Question 13 of 15
13. Question
Category: Hexadecimal
We just learned that 10 in hex is ‘a’ and the biggest single-digit – number in hex is ‘f’ …so what is 16?
Correct
Nice! ‘f’ is like a 9 in Base 10, or a 1 in Binary, we’ve run out of symbols so we revert to zero and add a significant digit; In Base 10, 9+1=10, in Binary, 1+1=10; therefore in hex, f+1 = 10.
Incorrect
bzzt! wrong.
Question 14 of 15
14. Question
Category: Hexadecimal
ok, so if 100 is in hex, convert it to decimal.
Correct
look at the brains on Brad.
Incorrect
wrong again.
Question 15 of 15
15. Question
Category: Hexadecimal
The previous question eluded to an important number, it comes up in computing quite a bit. Of course, zero being the first symbol, a computer system representing 256 “things” nee “objects” uses the range 0-255, this goes for most high-level languages like Java. In RGB-space, we can represent over 16 million colors in a 256-bit schema; where (0,0,0) means “no red, no green, no blue” (or “blackish-the absense of color”) and (255,255,255) means “use max red, max green and max blue” (like actual light, this hex-triplet gives a combo of all available colors, which is white[ish]). We need three 2-byte hex-triplets to represent three sets of 256, so red can be defined 16 squared ways [256] as can the other two, If black is has a hex value of #000000, then what is white?
Correct
that’s a lot of 15’s. correct.
Incorrect
you are thinking way too hard.

this is a far more legit and adequate evaluation than you will find …weighted or ‘more correct’ answers will be far more obscured.
extremely sensitive empaths will score highly regardless. if my test shows you are at a mid to low level, dont consider that a problem. trust us, this ability is
a gift and a bane. it would be nice to connect with other maxed-out-leveled empaths. Especially those who don’t have a book, a program or some voodoo shit
for sale. this site and this test is all about making human connections. I don’t want your $, but I need your attention (even though it drives crazy sometimes, both lack-of and overload….) *sigh*

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
consider the closest person to you spatially at this very moment, it could be a roomie, a significant other, a friend, a neighbor, or a neighbor you’ve never met – even a stranger just walking by. How accurately do you think you could tell me what mood they are in if I gave you 3 seconds to answer?
Question 3 of 5
3. Question
You are scheduled to work 9am to 5pm tomorrow. You are already on a shit-list for using up all your sick days and vacay time. Your lover has asked you not to go to work tomorrow. She is in deep physical pain and her life-span is in question. so is your career if you are not at your desk 1st thing. losing the job threatens to make caring for your lover more difficult (financially) what are you going to do?

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
I can read people; friends, even strangers pretty good. Still a family member, friend, lover or business partner who, I knew for over a decade stabbed me in the back (financially, emotionally, physically…..) and I failed to see it coming until it was too late. I lost big-time. this has happened at least once in my life.
