A friend of mine was applying for a job where they required “at least 5 years knowledge with Angular version X.Y.Z” (can’t remember the exact version, but they asked for all three numbers).

He said “I’ve got 7 years of knowledge with version X-2 to X+2”.

The HR person was like “But you don’t have 5 years of knowledge with version X.Y.Z, so you don’t fit for the job”.

The real fun part was that version X.Y.Z had only been out for two years at that time.

Thanks for more insight.

I’ve seen some AOC memes but didn’t really notice her beyond that. Again, European viewpoint. She doesn’t really make it into European news.

That doesn’t mean the dumbass won’t try to pull some sketchy shit and I honestly wouldn’t put it past him to try.

I read something about right-wingers trying to claim that the 22nd amendment only says that nobody should be elected twice, so if Trump gets into office without getting elected, everything is fine. So their plan is to get someone else elected in Trump’s stead and that person should then just appoint Trump as the new president, because according to them, that’s apparently possible. And with their surpreme pile of garbage that they call a court, that might just work.

Scary times.

True, but the one who gets inconvenienced the most is the poor minimum wage fool working at the dealership.

Seriously: That guy is worth half a trillion dollars. Even if he looses 99% of his wealth, he wouldn’t actually notice. It wouldn’t change one thing about his living standard.

Nice!

He shows everyone his hand, but in his hand he holds a royal flush, 5 black lotus, a Mega Mewtwo, and half a trillion dollars.

The problem is that the cards are stacked so much in his favour that he doesn’t have to hide his hand. We see him allright. But what good does this do? Can we un-elect him? Can we impeach him? What can we do? Pretty much nothing.

The only people that will remain loyal to Mush are centrists/ politically disinterested people.

What do you define as a centrist in that context? From an European viewpoint, most democrats are right-wing politicians, some of them even far right. Bernie Sanders is the only one that comes to mind that could be seen as center-left.

And politically disinterested people don’t sound like a relevant political force…

They have to be careful about it too, since they have propped him up and Trump is a megalomaniac who actually thinks he deserves to be where his and his base are rabidly, stupidly obedient to him.

They created a quite sizeable cult of personality around Trump. Getting rid of him will at least hurt during the next election. That is, if there is an election and the magats have the mental capacity to remember what happened a year ago from then.

If JS is chaotic neutral, what then is chaotic evil?

All I’m saying is

"10" + 1 => "101"
"10" - 1 => 9
"a" - "b" => NaN

I recently joined a team that had no backender for a year and the frontenders maintained the backend. In this case the image totally applies.

I once had a company give me an assignment that sounded very much like what you are describing. They said I should allocate 10h at once to implement a real-life task that they had and that their developers “already solved”.

At that point I only wrote a handful messages with their recruiter and hadn’t even spoken to a human there. I didn’t even know anything about the team, my potential boss or the project at that time.

I didn’t even answer back, just ghosted them. I’m not going to spend multiple hundreds of Euros of my time just for some assignent to maybe qualify for an interview.

90% of the things that Japan introduced according to comment sections on the internet never happened (or never made it past the prototype stage) and the rest was actually introduced in Korea, not in Japan.

The Japanophilia is strong with a lot of people on the internet.

There’s this idea I’ve been considering for a long time.

Imagine putting a remote controlled firework smoke bomb under the tailpipe, hidden from sight. At best a really stinky one that smells like burned rubber or something.

When someone follows to closely, just fake an engine issue or something by activating the smoke bomb and fill their AC air intake with the smell of burned rubber for weeks. Just to teach them to not follow too closely again.

So on this road with no line of sight obstructions at all the driver failed to notice two kids impatiently waiting to cross and failed to slow down a little in case the kid actually jumped in front of the car? That guy is obviously not fit for driving.

You always have to balance: Do you want the user to have “some” user experience, or none at all.

In the case of image viewers or browsers or stuff, it’s most often better to show the user something, even if it isn’t perfect, than to show nothing at all. Especially if it’s an user who can’t do anything to fix the broken thing at all.

That said, if the user is a developer who is currently developing the solution, then the parser should be as strict as possible, because the developer can fix stuff before it goes into production.

This is literally the difference between me and my wife ;)

That’s a fair assessment.

The only difference to the standard that I see is that the standard says it should be 1,2,3,4,5, while at least for me it renders as 5,6,7,8,9.

But that’s probably because it doesn’t render as HTML and thus doesn’t rely on HTML to do the numbering.

SLAPP suits are where a bad implementation of that system struggles. The US is a mess in many places and this is one. That doesn’t mean that the concept of rule of law is an issue, but that rule of law is implemented badly in the US.

In other places, e.g. most parts of Europe, if you lose a lawsuit you have to pay for the legal council of the winner. That makes SLAPP suites much less attractive and much less dangerous, and thus they are pretty rare.

The Nigerian understanding of religion is fascinating. They just take what they need from any place they want. In the western world most people stick with the faith they were born in, or maybe switch once or twice in their lifetime. In Nigeria it’s common to switch very frequently, always taking the parts they like best and leaving behind the rest.

It’s a very open and interesting way to look at things, not so much tied to their own personal identity (“I am protestant, so I must hate catholics” as it used to be common in the west), but instead they build their own faith from all the best sources they can find.

The media shift is happening right now. It started about 3 weeks ago, and suddenly the media shifts from pro-israel to anti-israel. At least here in central europe this is what’s happening.

Better north of antarctica than north of arctica.
