@lungdart it's not race it's culture. Of course India is huge with a diversity of cultures but a majority of very hierarchical and status driven. Those individuals will always try to punch well above their weight.

I've had some amazing Indian coworkers, in fact one of my best friends is Indian. However I've also had the displeasure of working with the ones matching the description. That is just bloody horrible to deal with unless you have higher status and cut them off.

@AvatarOfKaine while you are indeed correct that I'm not immortal; the intent behind that message was clear and taking things too far.

My initial comment might also not have been the nicest. I merely meant that everybody (in various age groups) especially going out of their way to target you sounds a bit implausible. Doubt you are John Wick with a price on your head.

So please stop the death threats/wishes...

Dude you are not the main character...

Could be a new project settings thing in intellij could also be an actual file corruption.

Weird comment about not willing to investigate...

@azuredivay see what @antigermgerm said. You can also run python code in REPL no compilation going on there. Also not all compilation is C/CPP. There are some true wrapper languages out there but calling python a wrapper language is like calling C/CPP just an assembly wrapper (and that would be more true)

@azuredivay Python is not a C/CPP wrapper mate.

It's a protocol where the S stands for Simple. Those are always a horror show. They have the need to market as simple as either they are simply not or it's too simple shifting way too much complexity and little standardisation to the implementation.
Examples:
SNMP, SMTP, SNTP, SSDP etc.

@Lensflare I'd like to add that we are not surrounded by blood in a meaningful manner but are by water. For boiling water it does not matter to much that it's around 100°C but when temperatures outside are around 0°C you know water, rain etc. is going to freeze up and cause transportation issues. This is a very easy thing to teach children. Other than that I don't think it matters you get used to the numbers that matter to you.

Although I'm biased, would say that C and K and all metric units are vastly better and proven less confusing than imperial.

Depends on how strict stuff is set up. And auto formatters are present.

In Go I've never ran into any issues in any project because most is already handled by Go. All code is pretty much formatted the as one would expect.

@tosensei you cannot undo that

Could be that it is or should be. Can also be that there is hidden complexity or something the senior didn't think about and why the solution in the seniors head does not work or is a lot harder to achieve.

As others said without details it's hard to say what's up. At least talk to the senior before spending that much time. See if you have the same approach and validate it with the senior.

@ctkqiang the problem is not the remote working. It's that he doesn't remotely have a clue about being a good (well adequate) employee. Just get him out of the or at least face some consequences...

@kiki ??? Where did the dreaded butterfly switch come in the conversation?

Perhaps Dell is still copying Apple mistakes. They have a capacitive top row on the XPS. So would not surprise me if they use butterfly too. But I've never claimed the use of such a thing.

@kiki you are correct that it's membrane but it's a specific type of membrane that in my experience has gets broken more by an order of magnitude. Usually user (or cat) mishandling. Trying to clean debris underneath.

Most of the time it's the key cap part that clicks on that breaks. The scissor plastic itself can what be bend beyond function too.

My experience is based on being a systems admin that needed to maintain all the companies hardware. Just about all keyboard issues where scissor related issues and not the membrane.

Apple != Only keyboard manufacturer. They are still made and used

I've had some keyboards fail on me. A very flat one. Think they used scissor switches. A single membrane one failed (one key didn't pop back up). But that for sure was a one off.

Another failure was just by yuk caps. Was with some sort of rubber feel and that turns to sticky goo (it's a common coating, now I know you can fix it with alcohol but it will be shiny textureless).

I've had a single switch failure on mech keyboard within two years. Got a replacement under warranty was actually an upgrade. This was in 2018. Still use this as my main board almost daily.
My first mech keyboard I keep at the office and have that since 2016 (bought it for the office when I had to be there every day).
Both are cherry MX brown non hot swappable. But the one at home is vastly better (nicer build, less key wobble).

It's worth the investment for the feel to me, they last long and can get cleaned better.
I do agree that other than cheap plastic implementation membrane keyboards can last very long.

@kiki lol

I do like typescript when a codebase is larger on business logic/concepts. The type system still gets in the way some times but it aids the development more often (auto complete, suggestions, interfaces say what they need).

I've never used it in a private project by choice.

@glowFX this is the way

Ah that kind of passthrough. So an AR variant. Sounds cool.

We even had a company policy to do that for all numeric id JSON responses due to the size limitations. Same for some representations of monetary amounts to prevent floating point calculation errors.

There can be good reasons for it. But in isolation all solutions look odd.

What's a pass through shader?

I've actually yet to see a place where that is not the case. Sure some actual output performance is required but the highest pay always goes to the one that projects themselves the best. Never the quiet workhorse.

I feel that language preference is indeed a thing that is sorely overlooked.
I'm in the Netherlands and fully Dutch but hate Dutch music. Can't turn that off in any music streaming service.
Same with books, I love reading the original English texts or translations to English (they are generally better). However it's super hard to find the English versions for me and all browsing/adds are Dutch versions. Nowhere did I even set that I speak Dutch.

Also Belgium is weird. If I would live there I would for sure speak both French and Dutch.
My French is really rusty and noticed that Brussels is basically French only with here and there someone that also speaks Dutch.

@Tounai nothing to do with the game at all.
They are all steam phishing scams.
The only thing that is CS related is the value of in game inventory (skins). Plenty of other games with transferable in-game inventory that boosts the value of a steam account.

@Lensflare lol I see I'm too late.
Edit: @tosensei , like really late.

Yes

@CaptainRant the way of working is something you bring up in retros, other learnings too. But for summer reason a lot of people are stuck with the idea that a daily scrum or stand-up is about 3 questions and that's all the communication that is needed.

I don't have a doctorate in agile or scrum however I've fought hard to make teams operate the way that works and I like. It's more kanban style and no freaking status updates. We schedule a meeting when we need it with people that makes sense. Nothing in the agile manifest is against that quite the opposite actually.

What you guys are doing is twisting it like terrorists and politicians twist religion.

@CaptainRant don't know why you reply to me and probably downvoted. You are making exactly my point...

The complaint in OP should be handled in a retro. They are just going through some weird burocratic motions and use that as an excuse to not function as a team or have any meanings for making important decisions (as a team).
I don't care what methodology™ you throw at it this is never the goal.

Nothing you described has anything to do with agile™
