So the developers claim, but the users still encounter it, and the bug report stays open for 22 years … possibly more.

It just means he can’t do it by himself.

Yours won’t be perfect, but you can do the whole thing by yourself.

Caffeine is pretty well studied and it’s known that the long term health effects are nothing close to cocaine. I doubt if there was any good science back then on the long term effects of cocaine, let alone enough education for the populace to know and understand it.

However social perceptions may change anyway. What we consider as not serious may be considered much more serious in the future. For example many people get headaches or even migraines as a withdrawal symptom of caffeine, and we don’t consider a headache to be serious.

But I saw a Star Trek episode once where Picard gets a headache and it was a big deal because those had been solved for hundreds of years by that time! Turns out the ferengi were controlling his mind or something. So caffeine may be considered a serious drug in the future if it interferes with the detection of alien mind control devices.

Can you cite a case where an American company with no holdings or dealings in the EU was fined successfully?

If the company has no infrastructure within the jurisdiction of the gdpr, how can they hope to enforce it?

And what jurisdiction does the gdpr have over servers hosted in America?

We’re all still waiting for the court case that sets this precedent.

My favourite is the “upload your genitals as jpeg”

There is, it’s literally right there on the home page of the project. You can either copy a URL and download it by cloning the git repo, or you can download the whole project as a zip file. Then you just have to compile it!

GitHub is for developers, not end users.

Huh, interesting. I didn’t realize Dassaults makes both solidworks and catia.

It’s made by Seimens, the industrial equipment manufacturer. IIRC it’s one of the oldest CAD systems there is, from the 80s when they started developing it in house for their own use.

It’s just the simplest way to explain extrusion.

“A profile through which material is pushed, forming a part of uniform section and indeterminate length” just confuses people. But then you say “ya know those playdoh things?” And they instantly understand.

Aren’t those all part of one of the other three? The orkneys and Hebrides are part of Scotland.

Wow must be nice

No, my salary didn’t go down, relative to inflation.

I’m calling bullshit on that one.

Everybody’s salary except executives has gone down relative to inflation going all the way back the the 80s.

Damn that’s gonna be slow.

But I guess speed was not a criterion.

Damn that last panel hits hard lol

Ok, now explain the part you think is not right.

That just means you designed your castle unsafely.

People don’t have anywhere near enough knowledge of how things work to make their choices based on trust. People aren’t getting on the subway because they trust the engineers did a good job; they’re doing it because it’s what they can afford and they need to get to work.

Similarly, people aren’t using Reddit or Adobe or choosing their cars firmware based on trust. People choose what is affordable and convenient.

And senior devs guide junior devs in the same way. The point is the masters already did their time in the trenches. That how they became masters.

In practice, the best interviews I’ve had usually set a slightly more complicated task as a do-in-your-own-time problem and then go through what you did in the actual interview.

The best interviews you’ve had are the ones where you’re doing free work on your own time?
