>Because divorce was not on the table, so you had to "make it work"

This isn't 1950. Divorce (and even easier, separation) has been "on the table" for a long time. Yet the culture around dating and marriage today is miles away from decades ago.

You can tell yourself old couples hate each other, because of course some do. But people have been happily "making it work", across cultures, for centuries. It's about the expectations you have in a partner and what you want from the relationship. If that's made-for-TV-movie romance until eternity, good luck.
A gimmick but also faster development. No need to finalize the physical input controls in the dash before the software is ready.

I totally agree it's a bad option for the driver though. Especially for stuff you really need during the drive like climate controls
For Java and Python for each loops I often use "current" or a singular name for the thing being iterated. If it's a nested loop then I use "other".

For C and JavaScript I use single letter indexes ijkl or "current".

I think it's a personal preference. I don't think there is a wrong way or a right way. Your team needs to agree though. I would be annoyed if I implemented a deep feature and the PR was blocked due to something as inane and useless as this.
i am pretty much in the minority but if USA and "allies" didnt help ukraine, russia would come in, wipe the ruling party out, maybe destry some cities but the whole thing would be over in less time. the exact same thing that happened with afghanistan or iraq for example.
instead, for once, USA has all the concern for human lives and "democracy" and is arming ukraine, thereby prolonging the war.

this isn't even my own idea, this is the same ideology that USA itself uses to justify hiroshima/nagasaki...

if USA isnt going to be responsible for actual crimes against humanity in hiroshima or vietnam with its napalm and others or with afghanistan or iraq then why are these same people trying to fault Russia for doing the same thing they did?

In fact, noodling around as a result of this thread has revealed a more recent model from the same people: https://www.techadvisor.com/article/797640/planet-computers-...

That looks interesting enough to take a punt on.
The article claims to explain this without reference to the "spookyness" of QM, but in fact it uses an analogous projection postulate as the QM version. After the polarizer, the photon state is projected onto the "measurement" of the polarizer, and in the article's figures the author does the same which leads to the same conclusion (kind of obviously).

What QM brings to the table is the explanation for what happens particle-by-particle.

> Next week, we'll launch the “helpful content update” to tackle content that seems to have been primarily created for ranking well in search engines rather than to help or inform people. This ranking update will help make sure that unoriginal, low quality content doesn’t rank highly in Search, and our testing has found it will especially improve results related to online education, as well as arts and entertainment, shopping and tech-related content.

I know Google isn't going to reveal the exact secrets behind what changes they're making to do this to avoid black hat SEO, but haven't they been trying to do the above all along? What stops the SEO community from observing how rankings change, guessing what the new metrics are, and then optimising for these metrics as usual until the search spam is back where it started?

What about letting users give a vote/rating or leaving a comment on if a page was helpful? A big reason imo that Googling for "reddit <search term>" works is that spammy stuff on social sites (including Hacker News) gets punished quickly by spam filters, down-votes and negative comments - regular Google search lacks that because people can't down-vote or comment on a page. It feels inevitable to me they'll have to start doing something like this.
The fossil fuel we get from the earth and burn, adding its carbon to the atmosphere, was stored there for hundreds of millions of years. That's the long term meant.
Ah excellent, thank you very much.

Will definitely take another stab using this. I'm assuming the grids compose, so I can work on one group (say name-address set) and it'll be well behaved when added into a larger layout grid.

The WYSIWYG drag and drop is nice, but if the results are predictable enough a manual "edit-and-run" cycle should suffice.

> Of course these items would already be styled themselves to maintain label positioning and alignment

So I guess this is the only thing I'd still be struggling with. Concretely, consider a grid layout like this:

a b
c c
d e

Here each cell has a label and a text input. Here the labels and inputs in a and d, as well as b and e, should automatically line up vertically, including if say b's label changes due to a dynamic event.

I'll have to see if it's easier with the grid layout.
I think a lot of distinct, but interrelated topics are being brought up here:

* Using tests as a (or even the primary) design tool (strong TDD)

* Test-first development (weak TDD)

* Integration vs. unit testing

* What is a unit test?

* Should one use mocks and if so, when and how?

I think each of these topics merits a separate discussion and you can be e.g. in favour of at least weak TDD while maintaining that unit tests have little value, or you can be in favour of unit tests but disagree that "unit test" means "unit = class/method/function". You can have differing opinions on the value of mocks even if you subscribe to strong TDD (that's essentially the classicist vs. mockist divide in the TDD scene - for example, Bob Martin is more skeptical of mocking than, say, the "Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests" crowd is).

IMHO, the biggest problem with testing is that most developers are not very good at it. I routinely see tests that are so complicated that it becomes very hard to understand, let alone debug them. In my experience, a lot of people also skip tests when reviewing code.

Well-written tests make a code base a joy to work with. Bad tests make everything painful. I don't know how to fix this, but we should pay more attention to it. If we had better tests, it would be easier to argue about the merits of TDD, unit testing, mocking etc. With badly written tests, everything devolves into a "why even test [this specific thing]?" kind of discussion.

The Path to Dijkstra's Handwriting (2013)
Do you look at every 'awesome list of JS frameworks' or whatever and assume everyone else looking at it is shipping some insane Frankenstein's app that uses every single one?

The point of it is just a list of suggestions, use none even, just ideas/inspiration for what you might want to ask. As someone who can never think of any questions in the moment (and interviewers have seemed to think that's not a good sign in the past, small sample size though and I may be misreading), I appreciate it.
Great resource! I’ve encountered most of these problems at some point.

It would be great to see advice about implementations. Things like when to process in a queue and when not to, tying idempotency tokens to database transactions, etc. These are subtle issues, but when done well can help make very robust systems.
I agree. This process may help prevent further contamination, but won't help clean up current levels. Even then, we would have to start treating PFAS containing materials as hazardous waste to collect and remediare the items, which is highly unlikely.
Your comment shows that you likely have never used Qubes in any substantial manner.
My two most important questions don't appear to be on here.

"What has employee turnover looked like?" This is the biggest signal to me, a lot of businesses hire and are unable to retain anyone after the honeymoon period wears off. If you can't keep employees I'm not interested. They also can't really lie about this since once I join the team git blame is going to give away that they had lots of previous employees working on the project who are no longer here.

"What would my on call expectations be? Would you expect to reach me out of hours?" They cover monitoring and on call but not as directly as you need to. Devs may not have a explicit on call rotation, but many orgs have implicit on call expectations. Asking directly like this can make the implict explicit. I need to know this to set a price. "We expect you to jump in when there is an issue so we need to be able to reach you" is 24/7/365 on call in effect.
Raspberry Pi manufacturer RS Group ends license after a decade
Yes, those questions are hilarious. As a person on the hiring end of the interview, I really don't care about anyone's sexual preferences and I don't want to care. It's like stating "I want to work only with people with black hair". It's really a bad filter to use.

Oh wait, the list actually has a question about the skin color...
I want to find any red flags at the company, so I'll straight up ask my interviewer one or two of:

- What is the most rewarding part of your job, and what is the most challenging/difficult part of your job?
- If you could change one thing about your job/the company, what would it be?
- Would you say it's easy or difficult working with your current team?
- Are your corporate policies clear & does everyone know what they are?
- Are there any major impediments to getting your job done?
- Does your team/company have well-organized documentation?
- Is it clear how to communicate with other teams?
- Do you think management is doing a good job?
- How much would you recommend working here?
- Are there any major problems here I should know about?
As someone who worked with Delphi for many years I've often wondered if there is a lot of money to be made by charging companies to work on these codebases. As much as I liked Delphi back in the day,

Even on freshly imaged Microsoft Surface hardware, I have problems with Windows going to "sleep" (since it's connected standby, not sleep). About 25% of the time the IR webcam will get stuck always on, preventing the Windows Hello face-based unlocking to work and resulting in the IR blaster heating significantly. Reproducible even on an image with all the latest MS updates.
Usually it's 3 questions per interviewer with 6 rounds that comes out to around 20 questions. I think a list of 251 to choose from is pretty fair in that regard.
Alright. Could we get a list of those "forbidden topics" in such case. Besides, I don't see it starting a flame war - you are pretty much the only person who commented, but whatever. Apparently we are leaving in Peak Clown times LOL.
To fix such a serious issue OP is mentioning for your life companion? WTF is wrong with people? If you are married and will stay together till end, worse things will come along from both sides. Will you just ignore her then or tell her to not ruin your day with her petty issues?

Btw garlic consumption and subsequent breath is fairly common in many cultures for millennia due to its very positive health effects, just not among snobbish posh ones. There are plenty of solutions to bad odor, easiest being along the line of "if you can't beat them join them" - if you eat even just a bit of raw garlic, nobody smells bad to you anymore.
It is hard for me to fathom that this article was written around such insignificant numbers .

One bad meal could swing those numbers and adding to that the monks were more communal than individual families so more likely to affect them all.

A lot of these questions are well-meaning but clumsy or obvious, or even warnings to a hiring manager:

* How long am I expected to remain in this position? => This person will be gone within a year.

* What will be my day to day responsibilities? How much time do you anticipate I would spend on each one? => This person will consume all your time as a manager.

* What are your group's best and worst working relationships with other groups in the company? => This person doesn't understand that job interviews are a first date; you find this out yourself during the marriage.

* Diversity Questions: This person doesn't really understand what diversity is, or why it's important.

Some of the culture/company questions are quite good, but they're all mixed up with HR questions about insurance and co-pay and dress codes. I don't mean to say these are not imporant, but they are definitely not appropriate in the same conversation as "what's your biggest current challenge and how could I contribute to success?"

Rather than a list of questions by topic I think it would make more sense to guide someone through the pretty established interview phases. There's no point asking your HR screener about agile practices, or your technical interviewer about insurance co-pays. You would be far better to sequence your own "deal breakers" from most to least important and make sure you ask them in that order. Also determine what you need, want and can live with, then answer them yourself as you listen & learn.
Another reason is to keep passengers occupied. Keep'em fiddling with stuff and it keeps them out of the hair of the flight crew.

Trying to fit an airline meal into the terribly limited space of an airline tray, and unwrap things that need unwrapping, and keep the trash under control, and find places for the small things they include that you don't even eat or need - and still manage to partake of the comestibles - this requires skills in spatial management that for some may lead to an unrewarding career in solving infernal Chinese wooden puzzles.

Doubts cast over Elon Musk's Twitter bot claims
No, I think the author made no point whatsoever that he didn't himself debunk with contradictory statements not even a few paragraphs later, peddled anecdotal pseudoscience and attempted to decry any criticisms as attempts at silencing or censorship, starting with the title of the paper itself.

The hostility and derision is used to attack not those who are simply wrong and seeking to start a discussion so they can learn more, but those who attempt to frame their wrongness as if it's right, especially when motivated by ideology, like this clearly is.

Just like those peddling horse-dewormer as a COVID cure, honestly, what do you expect? Such is the freedom of speech, when you say something really really dumb, like that evolutionary psychology is real, people telling you that you might be really really dumb isn't some conspiracy out to get you or your viewpoint, it's just a natural reaction when confronted with stupidity.

I could equally make the claim that I'm met with hostility and derision because I have the "wrong research" on how the Earth is actually flat, and the science community is clearly part of a conspiracy to censor me.

> We are in the middle of a movement where even teaching about sex differences is becoming difficult or impossible

[Citation Needed]

But of course there will never be a real citation here because you're just demonstrating more of the same persecution complex that the author also has. Kids are still taught about chromosomes and all that.

But talking about how it's difficult to teach kids about binary sex definitions and bizarre pseudoscience about how evolution selected women to be in the kitchen is the equivalent of saying how it's difficult to teach kids how Pluto is a planet.

Curriculums evolve as our understanding of things evolves, so as a society it's our duty to make sure to add the nuance necessary to give people a more complete understanding of the world, which can only ever be a good thing.

The funny aspect of what I said is of course referring to the repeated self-owns within the paper, I mean, sheesh, if you're gonna peddle your unremarkable anti-science ideology at least be consistent. How can you argue for an end-all, be-all definition and then proceed to debunk it in the next paragraph? I guess reading what you wrote wasn't an evolutionary advantageous skill
If I was a woman or LGBTQ or non-white I'd definitely want to know those specific numbers since it may materially impact my experience at the company. That said for larger companies you can just google this information.

+1 on this answer. Ideally any interviewer intentionally sets aside time to answer your questions. If it's a total one way street that'll tell you something about the company.

In our interview process we have an informal session totally dedicated to answering the candidate's questions about anything. The setup is simple, two of our engineers and the candidate hop on a call (or meet in person) and just talk.

Many of the folks who have accepted our offers refer back to that session as the thing that really sealed the deal for them.
Is this about some MENSA style thing? The post is fuzzy on that (it mentions IQ and psychometric tests, but not the actual context).

I'd say "high intellectual capacity" means squat if it doesn't manifest in doing something with it (aside from acing IQ tests). And this involves studying in some domain (whether, writing, economy, math, physics, programming, etc.).

So, I wouldn't say "learning you have high intellectual capacity" as an adult helps. If you didn't deduce it already by then, it might as well not exist.

And I've known high IQ people who never mention it and do brilliant things in math and programming, and also some high IQ MENSA types, who've done nothing with their life, and just talk about their scores on the first chance they get and high-five each other (while also being jealous of each other)...

I've had both VISA and MasterCard debit cards, delivered from my Swedish bank. Both had 16-digit card numbers, not my bank account number.

The only hick-up is that they default to 2FA: using a smartphone (domestic bank system) or card-reader (chip-and-pin). My bank has supplied me with a small card-reader for home use, which I also use for on-line banking.
To order from an on-line vendor that does not support chip-and-pin, I'd have to also log into my bank and temporarily enable "Internet payments".
This has worked for me every time I've ordered from US, Australia or Japan.
I see your point. However, books have a few advantages that allow reading them with less issues:

1) higher resolution (printed letters are better seen by the eye than the average letter on a screen)

2) narrower lines (easier to spot the next line)

3) at least a bit more spacing between lines

Finally, when the topic is not fiction, but stuff that requires a lot of attention to digest, perhaps paragraphs and newlines can improve the reading experience.

p.s. you probably meant offense with an "s" (I used to do the same typo, and we're both Italians)
