yeah, no it's the other people. meetings have a collective IQ of the dumbest person in the room divided by the number of participants.

Then why does spending all day in stupid endless meetings make you feel even more tired?

Boy that's a first-world problem if I've ever heard of one. Even so, I live in a 1st world nation and both the wife and I buy sturdy functional clothing and, guess what?, it lasts for many years. We use it till it's fit for r

I worked in a lab where we invented basically the same scheme in about the same time. I still have a box full of those little grey plastic RJ-45 to DB-9/15/25 M and F adapters. The cable plant improvement was good - we could punch

Probably not. Knowing more stuff doesn't make you "smarter". Nor would mastering kinds of math that many people find challenging prove you are more intelligent. Clearly many intelligent people are not great at math or don&#x2

You damn burritobomination apologists are the real problem... /s But seriously how does one even do this? Do they make a tortilla cylinder first and fill it part-by-part? How? Insanity. I don't even like burritos all that much a

One technical point - this is a very sensationalist headline. First of all, this is a lawsuit and civil trial, but worded this way in common use you might assume a criminal trial. The word "lawsuit" or maybe "trial in lawsuit

Well, if they have to keep moving their RVs, then at least there'd be a good incentive to get them and keep them running. Talk about incentives - perhaps prioritizing enforcement of RVs with drugs, trash, and sewer issues first would d

Agreed. One look at the pictures should tell you why people and businesses are resorting to this. And guess where the sewage goes when you can't or won't drive your RV to the dump site?

Suppose you live in a free country where innocence is assumed and guilt must be proven? I'd much rather live in a place where that dang mobster that "no one can touch" gets a little rich and evades the law (until that day he

If you haven't done FPGA work before, you certainly want to start with something small and cheap - it will keep you busy for a long time learning a completely different type of development process. Lattice ECP5 is popular with hackers

totally agree. the problem isn't "regex's are hard" - it's "math is hard". Regex's (especially real regexes that are actually regular languages) are intuitive and terse, but direct and efficient. Wh

I don't know if it's "gold standard" but I have the same feeling about the GNU CPP (c preprocessor) and GNU Make manuals. There are very few good sources about either using make or CPP macros. These manuals are more than

No, if the lines around the change are stable, it should resolve itself. Assuming that after line commit3 was edited, the future changes occur further down in the file, (which is usual). At worst, it should be OK after a conflict or two. NO

Agree! I would like to add to all of the above, the following thoughts: In today's climate 3-4 year stints might be OK early career. Or maybe just one year as the first job out of school - it's understandable if that wasn't a

Yep, my two cents here as well. Thank you for refuting the strawman that people only defeat emissions devices to roll coal. Look, adolescent per-pubescent wanna-be boys (of any age) will always exist. But diesel emissions controls are curre
