Have you tried playing online multiplayer games? I found I was able to learn how to “think” in another language much better when I was under pressure to communicate something quickly in real time. It’s easy to fall into the trap of always translating to/from your native language which isn’t the end of the world when you’re reading or writing but it makes for pretty awkward and stilted conversations.

But we're not pre-covid. Before covid I worked remote because it allowed me access to a larger job market without having to relocate, but I didn't mind occasional travel. Now that we're dealing with covid, there's no way you'd get me on a plane or in an office for a job interview. My health is worth far more than any particular job.

Well, when those periods were due to freak weather and rebounded immediately the next quarter?

Q1'2014 analysis from Economists:

"Data such as employment, manufacturing and services sectors point to a sharp acceleration in growth early in the second quarter. However, the pace of expansion could fall short of expectations, which range as high as a 3.6 percent rate. Economists estimate severe weather could have slashed as much as 1.5 percentage points from GDP growth in the first quarter. The government, however, gave no details on the impact of the weather.

Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, increased at a 1.0 percent rate. It was previously reported to have advanced at a 3.1 percent pace. Exports declined at a 8.9 percent rate, instead of 6.0 percent pace, resulting in a trade deficit that sliced off 1.53 percentage points from GDP growth. Weak export growth has been tied to frigid temperatures during the winter."

So basically, consumer spending increased, but exports declined, supposedly due to freak weather.

I mean, what if I said "Trump's economic growth was great, if we ignore the pandemic", do you really think it's wrong to separate out external factors like once-in-a-century pandemics, weather events, or major external wars in order to consider what impact fiscal policy or leadership may have had?

Not really - it's a newness/information disparity thing.

If someone has never committed a crime before (which most likely, these patsies would be in that camp - it's too high risk and expensive for someone experienced to want to do themselves if they could send someone else), fear of prosecution is going to be high. After all, THEY know they're doing something wrong, even if no one else does.

Someone doing this is also very unlikely to have the direct experience managing a company, or dealing with these issues, to actually know the real risks of prosecution and likelihood of damaging consequences.

So since it's new, uncertain, potential consequences seem personally very damaging, and it's 'bad' == high fear.

They get a lot more dangerous once they've done it a few times, and the fear of the unknown wears off, and confidence starts to replace it. But since they're showing up in person, and would need (in this example) to physically be there for awhile, that's expensive, time consuming, and high risk.

Half a year is still a pretty small time to fully grasp everything. As you dig into more projects, you should start to understand things better. Expressing this to your manager could help both open the doors for more projects for you to work on that would help you to get a grasp on things and also should help send a signal higher up that there's more that should be done to make development easier to understand

I just want to point out that that is an issue with radians too (pi/3).

With a turns-based library it would only make my life (very slightly) easier

Russia’s main security agency, the FSB (a successor to the KGB) has branded Telegram the messenger of choice for “international terrorist organizations in Russia.”

The government’s first attempts to ban it, a year ago, resulted in entire sections of the web, online stores, services—even the Kremlin museum’s ticket sales—being inadvertently blocked. But the messaging app has adopted a clever system of changing IP addresses that currently outsmarts the government ban.

Meanwhile, users have continued to access Telegram through VPNs, or virtual private networks, which have become increasingly popular.

It is difficult or impossible to block Telegram in Russia.

If I can play devil's advocate for a moment...

if the company gets decent work, the non-US participant gets better (and fairer, globally) pay compared to what they'd get locally, and the US participant takes care of the "soft" side of the operation... who's getting hurt?

I can't deny that something smells skeevy about this and I don't think I could ever trust a random foreign developer who I haven't built up a solid relationship with to execute reliably "as me" in the coding side of a role. But if I had a good friend from college who couldn't get a VISA to the US? I dunno, I might be tempted to collaborate. If everybody wins, I'm not sure it's inherently bad. But maybe I'm missing something.
When I make apple crumble (it's a British variation on apple pie I guess), I use a mix of dessert/eating apples (say Pink Lady) and cooking apples (say Bramley). The cooking apples give you the structure, whereas the eating apples give you sweetness. I chop the eating apples up into tiny cubes, so they basically dissolve.
Not true at all. They do have a scary reputation and unlike a lot of other vehicle maintenance, you need to be very aware of cleanliness. But they are just mechanical devices. They can be taken apart, worn components replaced, and reassembled. Watch Gary Ferraro on YouTube if you're interested.

Only if you spend too much time on it.

You do have to wet your tip more frequently when you are using high temp with flux core. However, I end up with shiny, well made joints 99% of the time. If I burn off the flux, I typically will wick it up and re-apply, or just swipe the solder off the joint and add more solder (depending on what I am working on).
That is normal - you have to add to the interview a requirement that you interview and have to approve each person assigned to work for you.

I want this but for apple sauce, I was in Indiana once visiting a friend and we stopped at a Meijer (a regional grocery store chain) and while we were getting apples (they had a larger variety than I'm used to) a little old lady exclaimed that they didn't normally have this certain variety of apples and we should get them for apple sauce, she said just heat them up on the stove and add cinnamon to taste, but that they weren't eating apples.

We bought some and it really was that straightforward, they sauced themselves with a little heat and we added a little extra sugar to taste but not much, it was both easy and a little magical.

When I say "people like ice cream" and you say "not all people like ice cream" I reply "I didn't say all."

"All" is a modifier for a reason.

For example, people are demanding that the SATs should not be used to evaluate students academic ability, because it's unfair that some students do better on the test than others.

Have you ever seen anyone advocate this sort of thing for the school sports program? How about it being unfair and inequitable that top athletes have a leg up on college admissions?

Did any PE teacher shower attention on me or the other inept students to bring us up to speed? Nope. The attention was all on the top 2 or 3 athletic students. The rest of us were just an annoyance. (I'm not saying this to complain, as my interests were elsewhere, just illustrating an example.)
Precisely this. If you don't need to actually rebuild a manual and just need to get to a seal that can only be replaced by cracking the case apart, it's not that bad. There just isn't that much to a manual.

Keep it clean, and work with care and diligence, and you're probably not going to get in truly deep shit.

I'll second that a manual in normal service is unlikely to fail catastrophically. The synchros can wear or the transmission can start popping out of gear, but they tend to experience graceful degradation, and the control software is sufficiently adaptable to work around the quirks.

Media and popular culture teaches the nerd/jock dichotomy to children, who internalize it and let it become a self fulfilling prophesy. When the influence of this meme is diminished, athletic and intellectual ability have a positive correlation with each other. People with healthy strong bodies are more likely to have healthy and strong minds as well, and vice versa. The quality of a school and a community's attitude towards intellectualism can be judged by how much overlap there is between the sports teams and honors courses. The less overlap there is, the worse that school/community is.

One way that popular culture teaches this dichotomy is with role playing games, where you choose to spec into INT or STR, but if you split your skill points between both you'll be mediocre at both. Real life doesn't work like that.

If you have that many stripped wires to tin, you can use a tub of flux and a solder pot. Dip the wires into the flux, then quickly dip it into the solder pot. Perfectly tinned end with no plastic melting. Really hard to mess up vs a soldering iron, a wire, and solder wire.

You can even dip multiple wires into the flux and solder bath at the same time, as well as use the flux tub again before you solder the tinned wire to the contact.
You're getting the person's photo ID for their I-9, and it's simple enough to verify employment history before making an offer. Just ask for a photo ID during the interview process as well. I mean they could still have a fake ID but that would be a much more elaborate and much more serious fraud.

Really though, for all prospective hires it's a leap of faith to assume performance in the interview will translate into performance in the actual job, and you need to be prepared for that not to be the case. Whatever safeguards you have in place to protect you from someone who isn't as good as they seemed to be should presumably also protect you from someone who isn't who they seemed to be.

My sixth grade science fair project was testing apples for apple crisp. The winner? Pink lady!

Edit: on a more serious note as a seasoned baker: for the typical person who makes maybe one pie a year if that, blind baking your bottom crust and making sure your top crust has adequate ventilation will do more to impact the flavor of your pie than finding the perfect apples. (If you don’t vent the crust, they will steam and get mushy; if you don’t blind bake the bottom, it will be soggy.)

Fussing over apple varieties when your crust is underbaked is like spending weeks picking the perfect JS framework for a side project.
