That is extremely unprofessional behavior from that interviewer. But how did the other interviewers respond? I think that the "correct" response really depends on that: * Other interviewers don't say anything -> ask wh

It's a good thing if you already have home automation set up. But installing home automation probably costs more than the 30 euros/year you're saving on electricity.

Indeed, pirating is very much an all-or-nothing solution. Torrenting your first movie might be difficult, but the second time it's easy as pie. In many ways, pirating is like any subscription service: signing on is a difficult decision

Yes, it's getting more complicated. Yes, there's a whole ecosystem being built around it, and the line between language and ecosystem is blurry. And indeed, there's a hidden expectation for any Python developer to buy into th

But if hiring for that department is frozen, as GP stated, how do you expect it to be fixed?

How did you get from type hints to black, not to mention poetry? Seems like you're just complaining about there being a mature ecosystem around Python, and the implicit expectation to use it.

I can't imagine what would cause a person to act like that, and on his last day/week of work! Some kind of psycopathy?

I think this is a great idea. You don't even have to market it like that: just have a very simple sign up form for requesting a trial. The only "requirement" would be a short discussion with a representative from your end whe

Your concocted exception is actually a very plausible scenario in my opinion. In the past 2 years or so I convinced my workplace (well, a previous workplace) to spend some money on two freemium products: one is buying a few licenses for PyC

The first comment asks Copilot to import all the libraries needed for a toxicity classifier, and it imports libraries such as re (regex engine) and nltk (natural language toolkit). But what if I wanted a classifier for toxic chemicals and n

Another example: ¡Vamos! It's kind of like "let's go", but carries more weight than its English translation. Some other languages have similar idioms for hurrying people up, but some languages simply don't.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. In general I'm healthy. If you're implying I should wear a mask when flying, then the problem with that is that pre-COVID you would be seen as weird for going on a plane with a mask. I susp

Shame, I actually liked the idea of mandatory masks on public transportation. I always get sick on flights (pre-COVID; I haven't flown since COVID started) and it's really annoying to have a runny nose while on vacation. I'm

> Change the word "review" -> "collaborate" A code review is not a collaboration. The author is still 100% on the hook for the correctness of the code.

Interesting that almost all comments here are completely dismissive of the meaning of staff+ titles, to the point of not even discussing the content of the articles. Yes, it's true that your title is not your role, and your role is not

But that wasn't the author's search query, it was "Why did Russia invade Ukraine? 2022" - and Putin's speach is not a good answer to the for that, even ignoring the the inherent bias. I specifically didn't call

I disagree, a script is a great tool, especially if you're not an experienced speaker. You just need to put emotions in it, and know how to act them out correctly, in many ways like an actor. The actor on a stage (or in front of a came

How is that a scam? The customers - which are probably not extremely technologically savvy - know that they're buying a proxy, even if it's called something else. That's more of a linguistic drift than anything else. If there

The "Ukraine as a neutral state" angle sounded plausible maybe 5 years ago. But the fact is that Putin started a war despite no significant recent change in Ukraine's relationship with NATO or EU.
