Hey, I have no idea how to solve your situation but I really like your website. My least favorite aspect of the modern web is that all corporate websites have been invaded by "designers" who care about the "feel" of thei

Just rephrase the job title on your resume so it's faithful to reality but not the literal title. At my last job, my formal title was "Systems Integration Engineer", which has a real industry definition as recognized by vario

I agree with everything you said, and had the same problems with writing when I was younger. However, I would say that it's not so much that students don't have anything to say, it's that they're not allowed to write abo

Irrelevant to the post, but relevant to sleeping--I fixed my trouble sleeping with candles. Right before I want to go to sleep, I darken the whole house, light one or two candles, and read a slow-paced book. 15 minutes to drowsiness, 5 minu

The "n-hour workweek" is arbitrary. We work as much as we do because that's what the lending institutions need us to do so they can justify and manage the global trade and manufacture of calories, textiles, fuel, shelter, and

So if my fiancee, who is part native, says it's okay to make and sell native-style dream catchers, I can just ignore your friends when you say it's not okay?

Yes, I suspect we know each other's points already, but I always am curious about how this particular element of the topic is defined by adherents of the group-to-which-I-don't-belong. If we both define what's appropriate, an

Wonderful answer, thank you. I'll try this.

That's a really good idea. I'm going to suggest that to our testing team, thank you.

Sure, I'd like to do that, and I appreciate the suggestion--it's just that I don't know how to do that. My past guesses have been incorrect. We've found really weird niche test cases based on differences as small as wh

Short answer: Yes, I do trust all that stuff. However, it keeps breaking, and clients keep getting frustrated. I will trust them more when I we don't find any last-minute bugs that delay releases based on whatever testing configuration

Thanks, this looks interesting and I may investigate it further. Side question--are you aware of any notation methodologies for tracking "forbidden pairings" in multi-variable input situations? For instance, the project you linked

This sounds interesting, but it's the first I've heard of the AWS Device Farm. Can you explain what this might entail? (i.e. would the ouput be screenshots that a human confirm visually, or would we need to develop automated tests

Are there any regulation barriers to selling "dumb" devices in the modern market? I've made the same point about pickup trucks--the 2002 Toyota Tacoma is a far preferable vehicle than the 2022 Toyota Tacoma for many truck own

Great scenario, it perfectly encapsulates what you're talking about. The way I like to short-circuit this problem is to ask a bunch of experts what they would do if they had the same information, except applied to their own life. As lo

That was a tough story. Unfortunately, everyone breaks something every now and again, and that impacts other projects negatively, which ends up with unexpected requests for assistance from colleagues, clients, or managers. However, there is

Perhaps my sentence structure wasn't clear enough; I mean "we'll all be Morlocks", in that the cities shall serve the non-cities, and vice versa. You can't have a functioning nation of all urban or all small-town.
