Clever, clever
  • This in reply to a person who took more effort to write a program that wrote out the steps for inverting a matrix so they didn't have to do the busy work of inverting a silly number of them? Kinda sounds like they prefer really understanding and challenging work to busy work is all.

  • Intersex Awareness Day 26 Oct
  • That's not inaccurate, just nonspecific. You could call women adults without the same offense of calling them females. Female is used as an adjective most of the time. The noun form is most often used in scientific/clinical situations or when talking about animals. This means it carries a dehumanizing connotation to it.

  • Not allowed to work from home
  • You get an offer letter that spells some of that out, but it isn't a binding contract.

    An employment relationship in the United States is presumed to be “at-will,” i.e., terminable by either party, with or without cause or notice. Indeed, a majority of employees in the United States are employed on an “at-will” basis, without a written employment contract, and only with a written offer of employment that outlines the basic terms and conditions of their employment.

  • Linus Torvalds is "fed up" with making kernel changes to address faulty hardware
  • The problem is that it takes months (in the absolute best case) to years to fix hardware bugs. And every piece of hardware has bugs, just like all software has bugs. So does everyone always have known compromised computers?

    The timelines for software vs hardware are just so different. After they both figure out the problem, find a viable solution and test that solution, there's still so much time left for the hardware fix to come out. With current pocesses, it's like 4-5 months to get silicon back. And that's if you've already reserved the time for them to make the masks and the new chips. And that's just to get the first chips back. You still have to get them to consumers.

  • The Joy is all BMW
  • The swerving at them was when coming back off the curb into the road, I think. If there was a curb between them, there's no way the cyclist was preventing him from passing.

    Edit: crappy drawing

  • What if I told you....
  • People who can vote but don't vote for Trump or Harris are complicit in any act that the winner takes. You had your say, and you decided either is fine. Not voting doesn't get you out of being a citizen of this country.

  • Ahh yes another business magazine article assuring us we don't want more money.
  • Headline writers are the worst. The actual article isn't too bad. It acknowledges pay is important and it needs to be a liveable salary.

    These very feelings allow companies to stand out, even if they can’t outpay all of their competitors. Of course, livable wages are critical for all individuals, but once reasonable compensation is established, emotional salary can outweigh base salary when it comes to engaging and retaining top talent. When paired with fair pay, a strong emotional salary can lead to higher job satisfaction, catalyzing a more committed employee base.

    Which is kind of like a duh. If you hate your boss, think your company is ruining the world and the hours suck, then they'd have to pay a lot to retain you if you can get a job somewhere else. Whereas if you're besties with your coworkers, your boss regularly shows his appreciation for you, and your company is alright, and you aren't hurting for money then you're less likely to even be looking at what other companies are offering.

  • What if I told you....
  • If voting for Harris makes you complicit, not voting does as well. Neither option is "murderer" or "genocidal". But you contribute your small part to the outcome just by virtue of having some modicum of influence.

  • What if I told you....
  • I have never heard that interpretation. Everyone I've ever seen talking about it agrees that if you flip the switch, you are complicit. Why else would there even be a discussion of if you should or not?
