Oh, I'm sure they have been, and I remember distinctly once. Lady on my new team(we were all new) had bleached blonde hair, heavy blue eye shadow, tanned, lipstick, in honest way overboard. My first impression was 'oh boy'.

Fair point. Do you think that's because of the observed correlation in the past, or some other reason? Biases are strong, and I'd admittedly not have a high first impression of the skills of someone who spent a lot of time on lo

Highly dependent on the profession. In programming, I agree with you. In my experience, there's a nearly perfect inverse correlation between how much they care about their looks and how talented they seem. But not in other fields, s

That's true for a while, but companies churn a lot as new things come about. I can't even tell you how many travel/HR, ticketing, chat, and video conferencing systems my rather boring company has gone through in my tenure. M

I agree that it's a low price, but disagree one should just raise it because they can. Keeping prices low helps prevent competitors from undercutting, or even competing in the first place, in my opinion. If this service were charging

The places most in need of cooling are those with high wet bulb temps, which are typically high humidity places. I've lived in the south east USA my whole life, and I cannot even imagine adding more humidity to my air.

Yeah, swamp coolers are great in theory, but they do nothing at all in areas that most desperately need cooling.

This is a cool idea, just needs a bit of tweaking. For example, 'bubs' is flagged as a partial match of 'boob'. 'bewbs' finds no such match and is deemed safe.

Hard disagree. Beyond the 'hacking', if that's what you can even call it, he knowingly scammed people. That's not kids being kids, that's some inherent mental state. Throw the book at him.

Same path for me. Although I use Gnome and despise KDE, QT is far superior to GTK in my opinion.

If you only want 1 card, sure. But why not have many? I have one that does 4x on restaurants and groceries, one the same on hotel/airfare, one 3 or 4x on utilities, etc, all of which beat 2.6. Especially since 2 of the mentioned abo

My daughter when learning to read used to just memorize what words looked like, which really frustrated me. So 'apply' is 'apple' because it looks like the memory word. Anyhow, relevant part of my story, I taught her 10

Mostly native, I guess. I would have been 11 or so when I got a computer/internet. 18 when I got a cell phone. But in a lot of ways, perhaps not. I absolutely hate texting as a replacement of a phone call, for example. Texts are fi

Personally, I find these companies dreadful. I tried it just to see and got flustered by the 5th question or so(renters). Typically, I just call a company, choose a coverage amount, and am done in all of 2 minutes. Wing, or Wing Alpha, is

I had this too, but from Ukraine. I didn't get the seeds, just a letter from customs that they had destroyed some seeds that I'd never ordered. Really peculiar.

This is a really big spectrum, and I wonder what the true cost is. Due to my position, I have a lot of firsthand knowledge from people who have either been unknowingly or knowingly 'scammed'. That is, some guys knew the women ju

Sure, I believe you completely. People are perfectly capable of writing great code in both. I think when it gets to errata, domain knowledge, errors, etc is where it really starts to open up. I can hit some opaque error and a good fronte

Right, similar experience here, and that's exactly what I mean. For example, I don't think a typical fullstack dev would know what it means to see a 'too many open files', how to debug, or how to fix. Hell, most don&#x

So, I really hope you don't take this as any kind of insult because I don't know you. That out of the way, I've never met a perfectly competent "full stack engineer.". Most seem to learn just enough to hack both t

Can someone explain please the point of embedding bin data into a binary, vs just bundling those assets and opening as a file at runtime?

Or perhaps, I just hate both sides? I can't stand the crazy right wingers who think climate change is a hoax, that masks oppress people, etc. I can't stand left wingers who virtue signal constantly and call me x-phobic or x-ist

by axaxs 6y ago
Understood. Typically, as a company, you write - 1) what went wrong 2) how did it go wrong and 3) what you have or will put in place to prevent it from ever happening again It's a learning process for all involved, really. From the

Firing people for making mistakes is a great way to watch productivity dive. The easiest way to prevent mistakes is to do nothing at all.

Did we watch the same video? I'm not in the least bit offended, I just feel like he wasted my time. If he'd just explained it, it's then up to me to research the underlying bits. Not up to him to tell me I'm too unedu

If a watcher doesn't understand the lesson, was it a good session? As an acolyte, why not enlighten us? Or should I just keep watching a condescending asshole avoid a question until I understand something that makes you happy?

I learned the lesson of explanations going into a 'why?' rabbit hole 2 years ago. It was taught to me by my then 6 year old daughter.

I don't know, maybe I'm the odd man out, but I've been linked to this video tens of times and always hated it. I find Feynman comes across extremely condescending and wastes time explaining that the interviewer is too dumb t

Understood. Mountain Lions are kinda weird, they tend to have an elongated snout. They do resemble cats, mainly in the eyes, but could easily be mistaken for.. something else. Here's a picture I found to showcase that a bit, I would

I stand corrected, thanks!

Perhaps. I'm not well versed in education of the times, so take with a grain of salt. As far as I know, there are no big cats native to France, so it's likely they didn't know such a thing existed, or what it looked like. I
