I mentioned this elsewhere in this thread, but something I've seen first-hand is that people sometimes with less time in the industry will assume someone else more senior "knows everything and shouldn't need help". So yo

I'm a mid (technically "senior" title at current job) level engineer with about 7 YOE. I still get stuck sometimes. The major difference from what I remember 5+ years ago is I try to ask early and often (like the vote early,

I bought a plastic water pitcher from a Japanese market. Pretty cheap, maybe $15. It's a bit taller and narrower than most American ones. Has an open/close switch, and can stand up vertically in a fridge door or be laid on its sid

Admittedly I haven't been to all lakes in California, but one time I went to Lake Shasta to do house boating for a week, and nearly every beach we landed on/near was littered with everything from old tires to car batteries to shot

I would say more similar to Wolfram Alpha. Definitely used that (not for cheating!) a few times in college to double-check math problem work, etc.

I don't see any problems; my only suggestion is first see how he feels about it as an actual field to work in (software engineering, etc.) and if it's something he'd enjoy doing as a _career_, even if only for the money. If s

One time my company was working on something and we had a liaison at Splunk. After a meeting with this engineer I think we wrote in about some kind of bug and he replied back with the Austin Powers meme and that quote. This was several year

I have the K2 V2 and it's actually really bad when being used for both wired and wireless. The issue I've mostly had (and found that others have as well), is if you run the battery to 0 using it on wireless mode, it won't eve

So... are you saying the dog's owner has no obligation to pick up their dog's poo? You're right, it's not a good analogy. It's barely one at all.

I bought this same tv a month ago. I ended up connecting it to my wifi, actually. I hadn't planned to since I have an older 4k Apple TV but decided to try the native apps. With ads and tracking turned off, I haven't seen any ads o

I've had an LG C2 OLED for almost a month. Turned off all those settings. So far so good, but will be keeping an eye out. Before this TV I just used a first gen 4k Apple TV, but I noticed it was a bit stuttery and didn't support a

Same. I constantly use iTerm (or even just the regular MacOS Terminal). It's easy to have it take up the whole screen and the most "MacOS UI" I'll ever see is the title bar for the window, which yeah can be ugly to look

I installed a few apps since upgrading to iOS 16 when it came out, and those apps never show up in Spotlight. I've updated with patches, restarted the phone, deleted and re-installed since then; still broken. The main one is Slack but

Said the same thing the other day in the post about ChatGPT being used for cheating. I'd say it's a more advanced type of WolframAlpha engine, which I used a lot in my college days a decade ago.

I mentioned this on twitter a week or two ago, but in a lot of ways ChatGPT really reminds me of being in college about 10-15 years ago and using Wolfram Alpha a lot. It wasn't difficult back then to put in some challenging math proble

Some people who do need a legal document for travel favor getting a passport? But that doesn't mean everyone has a state ID.

As is usual, price to quality (to enjoyment factor) ratio. These days as I'm older and collect more sparingly, I prefer quality over quantity and the price evens out. But if you're just buying for kids to have a ton of cars then h

If you want similar toys that are higher quality, I highly recommend Japanese Tomica. They also usually have doors that open. Loads of variety. I believe in the US you can now buy them at Walmart, but they're not too difficult to order

My apartment complex uses Latch. Honestly I figured there'd be way more problems with it than I've actually dealt with. The worst was when the battery in the deadbolt got within 5% life remaining and so it wouldn't consistent
