hey hey, this is exactly what happened to my engineering career right here. "This code will never be used." "Oh, ok." proceeds to write garbage to test out various features and different ways of doing the same thing…
and because it's almost trivial to run a subscriber supported site out of business 3 steps: 1 - fund high quality, totally free content, great UI, minimal ads 2 - poach customers from subscriber sites, wait them out.…
Extra fun fact about tinkering: The air gap in the transformer means that your GFCI won't detect a ground fault, and your circuit breaker won't detect a short because as far as the mains line is concerned, there is…
Hammocks are great if you're sleeping on a ship and don't have something gyroscopically stabilized. They change the big and unpredictable swings caused by waves into more predictable swings like a pendulum.
yeah, it's 90% hypothesizing. Don't take it as me saying what you should or shouldn't do. Obviously, I'm not in a position to do that. It's just... if your neighbour pulled up with a car that's powered by cooking oil,…
I would disagree that the kind of data being talked about lends itself to misuse. Management in general, and especially in well run companies, tends to be responsible and judicious in their use of various metrics and…
Are you consuming entire animals? Just meat? No snark there, either. Skeletal muscle alone isn't a complete diet. It's lacking in a few areas. Eating nothing but meat does seem to improve body composition, insulin…
thread poster could include a fourth alternative... the "hesitant adopter," left behind when they missed the bus early on and every goodname they wanted was taken while they took the tour of the service. not even the…
I got a 4.8... the model also told me I lied about my age by nearly 20 years, so that's nice. I'm a very young looking ugly.
"Pardon, Officer, but we're firing several employees today and would you like you to assist. We're concerned they might say bad things to us." "ON OUR WAY!" This is a disgusting scenario. I hope they weren't misusing…
I'd be completely flabbergasted if they trained an AI to parse source code while playing a game. I think it's the "lack of addition" rather than the "expressly disallowed" training rules that are being referred to.
Gravity is not, in fact, the attraction of lesser mass to greater mass. Gravity is the repulsion of lesser mass by greater mass. In the case of the Earth, this means you are repulsed toward the Earth by the weight of…
and there's no way of knowing if you have prions in your body, and when your brain will turn to mush. CJD is nightmare fuel.
That's probably what made it hard to drive the Aspire. It had like a 13 inch steering wheel. I didn't measure it, but it was pretty small.

yeah, Alaska and Sibera are pretty much the only places with worse winters than where I learned. I'll keep this in my pocket for times when I'm spinning a wheel and am out of other options. We only get a few inches a…
yeah, the side mirrors
I've never heard of this, and I learned how to drive in places with very rough winters. You just hold the brake (lightly) with one foot, and gas with the other? This doesn't sound as useful as putting the car in 2nd, or…
There are loads of people on here who have never driven cable-controlled throttles, rack-and-pinion assisted steering... I'd even guess there are a few that haven't used manual windows or hand-adjusted rear view mirrors…
Isn't this a thing on some university campus? I seem to recall robots being driven by Colombians delivering cafeteria food to res.
I find the smartphone app menu model vastly superior to the others. I can take 10 minutes to get an order sorted out (ordering with a family takes far longer than a solo order), and I don't slow down the line of people…
Right? What are the odds that GP would post "I don't know exactly what these brain regions do, but I know that these transgendered people who had fMRI showing their brains function much closer to their identified gender…
It's not a conservative guess. It's objectively wrong. Inner join means "include only matching records," and if nulls are being dropped, it's because the developer doesn't know that in SQL, null != null, and they need…

With a lot of people, once they know (or just believe) you have some kind of mental illness, you no longer have a personality or character, you have a collection of symptoms. That's a big part of what the stigma is.…
