It’s not even firing, it’s “not continuing employment after the trial period formally agreed to in the contract and national law” in my country. There’s nothing dishonest or fucked up about it. There is also no legal hurdle. Meanwhile your

I’ve tolerated their corruption and incompetence, but downright evil I cannot condone. Fuck it, might as well uninstall firefox and install chrome (despite knowing about its issues). I won’t bother with Mozilla anymore.

Consolidate step 2 and 3 into one and cut it down from 4 hours to 1 or you’ll have a lot of people “fail” because they don’t want their time wasted (usually companies pay for extensive tests with programming). You can still kick people out

It is in fact illegal until the user opts into it. The company has to assume no as an answer until then.

Then why do most bonds formed in school not last for most people? Why do most co-workers not turn into lasting bonds when changing companies?

Pretty light on technical specifics. What I find odd about all of this is that while they (finally) split reads from writes, there’s no distinction between hot and cold data. I assume 80% of all tweets are only read 20% of the time, if that

I say this with love, but that sounds like addiction and I hope you will seek out therapy in the future, or at least consider resources such as healthygamer_gg

Sounds like broken window fallacy to me. We pay for projects with the expectation that they will not provide value, but somebody gets paid. That’s the same as breaking windows across town so some people can get paid to fix them

Sure, but there must be at least some common ground. Otherwise how are you going to spend time together?

{ int8_t x = 1; } allocates a byte on the stack, binds it to a variable named x, sets it to 1, then deallocates it from the stack. There is no explicit allocation or deallocation. As an optimization it can be put into a regist

Personally I just go with the scientific method. That means coming up with falsifiable hypotheses and deducing predictions from them logically, then comparing to reality in order to accept and continue, or reject and rethink the approach an

Do you mind sending us all US citizens’ data? Just a copy, that is.

There’s a reason why many avoid boost.

If I understood your use case correctly, then you don’t actually have a decentralized deployment since there’s a central server, and you’re literally not employing the blockchain though?

My point is, it is not just about computers. It's about understanding how the world works. The world is made up of people. As much as machines keep society running, those machines are programmed by people--people with managers, spo

OT: how come there are so many OCaml posts recently? Genuinely curious!

I wasn’t thinking of any particular paper there, but if you look at some papers you’ll usually find the following reasons: 1. The app algorithms are usually black boxes, so who knows whether they’re really using scientific methods 2. Apps o

The article makes it sound as if „200 question“ dating sited like eHarmony were any better, but it’s scientifically proven that there’s no correlation between such questionnaire matches and actual relationship compatibility

If you anticipate that this will happen when you open task manager, possibly because it has happened before, you start chanting in German “watch me, I’m about to pull a trick 17!” before opening task manager, having ensured that the whole r

I personally extend this to international organizations in general. International law is difficult to enforce and therefore fertile ground for corruption due to a lack of consequences even when caught.

Also, for the record, LOL, ElysianVMU caused "drama" and extra work for the team? The constant tangents did, that project being one of them. The VMU emulator did not kill anybody’s firstborn, but like the other many tangents it

Falco, I have watched your DC work since you first started on YouTube. When I say „they“ it is out of politeness to not name you directly and also because I think some of the blame lies with others. I used to be a well-known member of the D

My reply was to a post that talked about PS2‘s strengths.

This is apparently ported from the PC not PS2. I can’t think of any particular features that would be challenging due to platform differences, except for streaming open world data from disc instead of harddisk.

It’s classic scope creep. They should’ve released the game as a base and made the engine and tools kickstarter bonus goals to be delivered later. They should’ve also constrained the scope to “2.5D top-down action RPG engine”. What happened

Yes, what this means in practice is that it's easy to customize common aspects of your site (such as how images are displayed). I found this to be very easy using Markdown+pandoc. I turned image tags containing youtube links to thumb

Yes, educating all people will generate a bigger advantage in total. What I meant was that an individual will obviously make more money for themselves if they have free labor that they can exploit. So a society of N educated people will mak

Very positive. On the rare occasion I feel like negative experiences are due to ignorance not malice. It’s easily balanced out by “positive racism”, e.g. some stranger at a bar paying for my beer because he never spoke Japanese with a white
