Ok, so imagine you were expected to strip naked, cuddle up to someone else who was also stripped naked. Imagine you are expected to pretend to have very real and intimate feelings with one another and in the process do very intimate things with them like kiss, touch their body, and simulate penetrative sex all while being in a room full of people watching you do this and with cameras recording the entire thing with the intent to show it to the world. That in itself would make most people at least a bit uncomfortable.

Now, maybe you also feel uncomfortable because you have a spouse or significant other. Maybe you know this other person well and they are platonic friends. Maybe they are barely an acquaintance, just a work colleague. Maybe you have romantic feelings for this other person. Maybe you hate them. Maybe the other person has made advances on you. Maybe you have a history of being assaulted or of being used sexually. Maybe you are self conscious about your body. For any number of very justifiable reasons, this situation can be anywhere from slightly to very uncomfortable for either or both actors, even scary in some situations.

The intimacy coordinator is not a sex coach. They are there to make sure the situation is safe, consensual, and as respectful and private as possible for both actors, and to see that their needs are met for this very stressful circumstance to minimize discomfort. They also make sure that nobody on set oversteps boundaries, that the actors’ rights are upheld, act as the single point of contact between the actors and production to minimize uncomfortable conversations and miscommunication. They will be involved in choreography of the scene, but not as a coach so to speak, but rather in mentally preparing and making exactly clear the understanding for all parties what is going to happen, giving everyone the time to process and veto plans if necessary.

Really went downhill after volume 3. You hope that they’ll get back on course by volume 6 at least, but alas.

Not if it is filled to the brim with 3 TB of porn

Horseshit. Computers aren’t tools for a software engineer. Computers are tools to an administrator, an accountant. Computers are the sandbox you are building castles in as a software engineer. If you don’t understand the system upon which you build, its abilities and features, its limitations, it’s dependencies, you are going to make some stupid mistakes.

You need to understand discrete mathematics as a consequence of computer computation. You need to understand parallel processing and threading for muli-core processors. You need to understand networking, package management, security vulnerabilities, etc. from different architectures and protocols. And it ALWAYS helps to understand the very basics of a computer’s functioning, from hardware, CPU architecture, machine code, assembly/low level programming, memory management, etc.

print('Hello, World!) is day one shit for a reason. Programming language and logic is the basics. The real expertise comes from your 3rd and 4th year materials. Databases, architecture, theory of computation, discrete mathematics, networking, operating systems, compilers, etc.

My CS degree had a hardware/IT support class, but A) it was entirely simulation based. We never touched any actual hardware. We “built” PC’s or identified physical issues in 3d sim software, set up RAID arrays in software, etc. B) it was super hand holdy and you only ever go over a problem once, so nothing on the class has stuck. I know much more from having built, troubleshot and maintained my own computers and network than I ever learned from that class, then learned more by doing in an actual IT support position before becoming an engineer.

This shit sounds like when your mom tells you that the Facebook printed out her bank statement on the fax machine. I’m not smart enough to even guess how you did something dumb enough to make that happen.

How bad are you at writing queries? How does your hard drive overheat even under 100% load? Do you have it smothered under a blanket? Did you crack it up and expose it to cheeto dust? What does running a query on your, presumably, remote database even have to do with your harddrive in the first place? Are you trying to copy the entire database locally to a laptop? Do you know how to tie your shoes yet, or are you still on the velcro?

I guess I’m an awesome nerd!

Javascript should say “you are a masochist and a nerd”

Push him onto the pressure pad. Make it his fault.

Javascript Standards Team is such an Oxymoron.

Option 3 means that the Javascript standards team dies either way, right? Number 3. No hesitation.

I test my own code/scripts in dev when I’m working on it. QA usually tests acceptance criteria in test environment. And then staging is used for production data testing for performance and identifying missed edge cases. Actually, we sometimes use dev and test interchangeably when multiple people are working on the same repo, so the lines are a little blurrier than that.

Same. Early on as a new dev, I failed to performance check my script (as did my qa tester) before it was released to production, and that was my first roll back ever. It was very unoptimized and incredibly slow under one of our highest density data streams. Felt like an idiot that I was good with it’s 1-2 second execution time in the dev environment.

As a data engineer, testing with production loads is critical to performance checking, as well as finding edge cases where your assumptions about what can be expected in the data are curb stomped and send you back to the drawing board to cry and think about what you’ve done.

As a python developer, I’ll accept the shower joke in stride. But who are these Esperanto speakers you’re shitting on?

I took a principles of programming languages course a while back and got to touch on a lot of these old languages. My professor had huge hard-on for Lisp. Don’t get me wrong. The simplicity of the language is admirable. But reading and parsing that shit gave me headaches. No me gusta.

Is this guy Tom Segura’s cousin, the inventor?
