@VaderNT source of an incredible amount of practical jokes too.
-
My experience with python is: "everything is okay dude" with a big explosion in the background.
-
Personally the only way to keep it funny for me is to do that *only* as a job. It spoils the thing less for me if I do not spend all my time into it. And actually makes me want to go to the office every day.
-
30k? Mwhahahah, you'd wish so.
It's actually less than 20k. -
@cprn it's not spit, it's a feature.
-
Usually I notice it because the room is empty.
-
And just think that I've seen the very same thing being done for two hours of meeting, just with a lot more words, all different, all beautiful, all meaningless.

Presses confirm.
"Do you confirm your confirmation of cancel?"
Presses cancel.
"Do you confirm your cancel of cancel?" Both buttons read cancel. -
Kudos for the quote.
-
Just be happy that you get to do at least that I spent weeks discussing regulations with people and writing documents about that.
-
Look, just attach a banner to the site that says "we sell user data". That should do it.
-
I feel you. I'm trying to become a decent dev after almost two years of experience and I still don't know how to document properly because none told me how to. I try but I'm not sure that I'm doing it right as I have no feedback whatsoever.
-
Mmm... Perhaps they meant to load the DB in a shared memory and then allow both processes access to it?
-
You and me too... You and me too.

I did in a way. Not a startup but a new team where all members were juniors except the team leader. Somehow we managed to deliver the first product and then another. And then another one. In the meantime the team was decimated (if we consider 10 as a binary number, half of the team left over a period of 6 months).
After that more young people joined. The team leader was stretched thin over the several projects the team was now responsible for however so it was our responsibility (the survivors) to help the newbies.
Answer their questions, make them write the answers down and then supervise them doing it (do not intervene if not strictly necessary) using their notes.
Few things as are annoying as relying on notes. You may have to answer the same question twice but very rarely they will ask the same question three times.
P.s. if they reach repetition number five several times scold them. If they continue fire them. -
@peenoise no, it is really not. I empathize with your work situation and I know you have a greater grasp than me of your language but trust me many people have a better grasp of English than you do.
-
@netikras well, not necessarily but it probably should be good practice.
-
@netikras I think it depends on two things.
1. How bad a fit the pattern is (it could lead to code that just misses the necessary requirements).
2. How badly implemented the design pattern is. I've seen people who decided to use a design pattern and then implemented them so lazily that the final result was not that design pattern at all. In fact most implementations I've seen have this problem.
P.s. design patterns have nothing to do with files. No, they simply do not. -
@netikras which is still better than applying patterns lazily.
-
It's not a bad language but it has several features that work in a counterintuitive way. Some would even say needlessly counterintuitive.
-
If anything I would evidence the sentence after that.
-
Just feel happy that you had interesting work before.
-
@kraator UB?
... Oh. Undefined behaviour. -
@arcsector absolutely. It's a conspiracy!
/Sarcasm. -
@Deeshti and that's why you do not use increment and decrement operators...
-
@Root well they're in favor of not being banned in China so they have to police how their product is perceived in order to protect their income. After all they create games, they are not press or news so it's a bit a complicated matter and I understand why they would.
Still not nice but understandable. -
Congratulations. Got it in one.
-
@odite jump to Me: I guess.
-
I agree a startup as a first experience could be a gamble.
-
@jesustricks because irony is a form of humor and it subtly pointed to the fact that uploading nude pictures to internet is not a good idea. No matter where you put them you are taking a first step towards making them public.
The dire reality is that in general companies offer very little security to the rights of the consumer and you cannot trust them because while the organization might be nice there are always bad apples in it.
And yes. Screw him for not knowing what he signed for. Because he won't remember us saying him to be aware of what he signs but he WILL remember that he was screwed. If you dealt with people long enough you'd know that first-hand experience sticks more than simple recommendations.
P.s.: btw I dislike Google for even offering me the option to setup my devices in a way that are not respectful of my privacy. Even offering these options can create peer pressure to force me to share more than I'm comfortable with (just like it happened to me on Linkedin).
