There's nothing that makes a joke funnier than someone who explains why that joke is statistically unsound.

What are you hinting at with your reference to France? Yes, France has a civil law legal system. Knowledge and intent are still considered when deciding on guilt and sentence. What's your point?

Well, OOP was used, and its naming conventions settled, decades before Rust or D came along. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simula for example. They decided to go against established conventions (as far as I underst

I've traveled a lot in Europe. People like to harp on France, but I've found that in most countries, outside big cities, English proficiency was not widespread.

That's a recent thing. I remember spending a semester in the US a decade ago. My cheap student ass was surprised to see how expensive every mobile plan was. It was literally cheaper to buy a roaming plan in my own country for six month

I'm amazed at these posts. Where have you been in Europe? I live in France and near everyone's personal email is @gmail.com. Youtube is still king (though twitch and tiktok are killing it with the younger people).

The problem isn't the tech stack. Claiming that switching to python or whatever would solve the problem is similar to claiming that switching to a different accounting tech would solve inflating healthcare costs. The problem is a socia

This has nothing to do with privacy and everything to do with tax fraud.

In general, the low IM app usage just means that mobile phone plans are cheap. It's not like the US where you have to take a payday loan to send more than five SMS a month.

I can't tell if this is a joke. Newton's method will give you an approximate answer.

Every field is based on trust, so I don't see why you emphasize that. Once again, if as a manager, you are happy with your employee's output and feel that their compensation is fair; why would the knowledge that they could have do

If the manager's happy with the employee's output, and the employee is happy with their task and compensation... Then how is that a problem?

Applied mathematics is a branch of mathematics. It's research. Someone studying solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations is doing applied mathematics. An accountant uses mathematics, but their work isn't "applied mathematics&

Why are you referring to the company by its stock mnemonic?

by justeleblanc 4y ago
You're not seriously comparing research mathematics with software development, are you? You think you're expanding the breadth of human knowledge with your CSS tweaks of the shopping cart implementation? Give me a break.

A user doesn't care. Your boss cares if the competing company built the feature in half the time as you and snatches half your user base.

You can't have it both ways. Either you ask the developers for an estimate and you get ridiculed because how can developers possibly have any clue how long it's going to take them something? A day, a month, a year, who knows how

If that was really what was happening, then nobody would be upset if they started charging more. People would just stop going there.

Docker Hub has little to offer, and yet everyone was up in arms when what little they offered for free gets taken away. Don't you see the contradiction here?

We're talking about a laptop. What's the point of a laptop if you're just going to make it into an underpowered desktop? And it's not like mouses and keyboards need a 4Gbps connection to the host. Plug them into a tiny h

Those are shitty ports. The worst are those who will plop something in a dot file in your home directory. They don't get hidden on windows, people!
