Inevitably, when I review code like that, I immediately suspect the person who wrote it is missing some fundamental programming concept. I had developer write something like that once and I learned she does not know how to write loops.

Not even that. A house drawn with a crayon can be considered an artwork or may have sentimental value. You also have clear ownership of that artwork that you can defend in court. You will also not loose "ownership" the moment the

Mine T440s survived being soaked twice. Once with hot latte, once with mineral water. Both times it was completely soaked. It has internal battery which means it is not enough to power it down, you actually have to go to BIOS to turn the ba

Well, you should have offer before you put your notice. I usually wait until I have the new contract signed. But the notice should not be a surprise to anybody. I tell my boss that I am actively searching, don't yet have an offer or a

I worked in many places including ego-driven, political and/or irrational. Leaving gracefully has never backfired on me. Actually, the opposite happened. Leaving gracefully has left me with some good friends and has led me to opportuni

You forgot typing documentation, emails and chatting on Slack. Also, you might be underestimating how dumb it looks to both technical and non-technical people when a highly paid engineer can barely type. Not that I've seen many who typ

I am both accountant (actually educated) and developer. I will not rant (today) on how I disagree with unit testing and there are better ways to get the result. I just wanted to point out double bookkeeping analogy is bad. Double bookkeepin

Except all statistics show that people who die from covid are the ones that were not vaccinated or were vaccinated but had a lot of other health problems. If you are healthy and are vaccinated you may get sick but you have many, many times

While I agree with the move (your face or name should have nothing to do with whether you get service) I see one potential problem. If I was black I would probably prefer to be upfront denied than rent a place from somebody that is very rac

I don't see any problem with reasoning here. He said: 1) That the problem is real. 2) That, anecdotally, he met one person that behaved in a way that could only be explained by the problem being real. This is not a proof, just anecdota

Because you need to: - have the knowledge (duh!) - have the experience to have had enough time to observe things in reality (vs theory) and have had the time to internalise and digest all of this - be mature While it is easy to get the know

It is known (and proven) that most people grossly overestimate their experience and abilities. In software development it is even more egregious because, due to exponential growth of number of developers, most developers haven't had a

Q32-17 may have 32 cores, may have 45W TDP and may have whooping 128 pcie 4.0 lanes but it is still only 1.7GHz. What this means in practice is that this will heavily depend on the type of load you are running. A lot of workstation type loa

First of all, all that pee is on the plane when it lifts off, in one form or another. The only thing that changes is distribution of mass (depending on where the tank is and where they keep bottles with drinks). A tonne of pee gathered from

Ah, as usual. Developers thinking they know better than users. As a developer, I hate that attitude. The developer talked to the user, decided they understand the problem, then written their understanding in stone for the users to bang thei

Write down. Make a system which you can trust you can come back to that thing and think about it. When I drive and listen to an audiobook, I sometimes have to stop, make a note, and only then I can keep driving. If I don't stop to make

I am not a pilot, but here some very fundamental rules of flying a plane have been broken and from my point of view I can't classify this as a simple error. The crucial job of the crew planning/taking off is to a) calculate the de
