Bro, which company expected you to do a take home assignment that took 2.5 months? Name and shame the fuckers.

Okay, I’m convinced. 😂

How are China’s stringent lockdowns explained in this conspiracy theory? Also, where do I sign up as a member?

That’s a lot of moved goalposts to justify the weird temperature scale logic but okay.

You’ve essentially justified that 0F and 100F are what they are because some old people died when it was 100F (most people, including the old are perfectly fine at this temperature all around the world) and because you can manage at 0F while wearing a ton of layers and not need a heat source (do all old people manage to survive just fine at 10F or 20F by just putting on some layers?).

Either way, this pointless conversation had gone on for way too long. Have a good day! :)

I’m saying that 0F is waaaaaaay more dangerous than 100F so the logic of those particular temperatures being the 0-100 ends of the scale can’t be explained by how dangerous they each are.

Almost everyone would be fine staying outside for 30 minutes at 100F without no external help (shade, cool drinks etc). Almost nobody would be fine after staying outside at 0F without external help (parka, thermals etc).

To me, with absolutely no data, it feels lie:

• 0F is as dangerous as 140F (you’re long dead if you’re outside in both cases)
• 100F is as dangerous as 40F (mildly uncomfortable but safe for a while)

So calling 0F and 100F both “really dangerous” and using that to justify them being the respective points of 0 and 100 disingenuous. Like, use Fahrenheit if that’s what you’re used to - I use it too because that’s what I’m used to. But I don’t explain the insane system with “it’s because the two ends are reallllly dangerous.”

Lmao are you a penguin or something? Please tell me that you’re exaggerating to make a point and aren’t seriously saying that you’re capable of staying warm at -10°C (14°F) “without an additional heat source.”

Fahrenheit: let’s use “really cold weather” as zero and really hot weather as 100.

I don’t really have a horse in this race but this logic doesn’t seem legit to me.

How is -17°C really cold weather AND 37°C really hot weather?

One is actively trying to kill you if weren’t already dead by the time the weather got that bad. The other just makes your nuts stick to your thighs – if you’re in a humid place.

I’d agree with the logic if 100F was equal to something like 65°C. 🤷‍♂️

Okay, I’ll bite.

Why isn’t it language? And how do you define that a method of communication qualifies to be called a language?

Also, what would you call a method of communication that lies somewhere in between “follow the pheromones” and “modern human comms”?

I’ve had this thought for a while and I definitely agree that a lot of software I’ve built is a net negative to society as a whole and the only reason why I get paid as well as I do is because I’m helping rich assholes suck value out of society more efficiently.

For instance, I’ve worked on CMSs that automated 90% of the processes for medium-large insurance companies. Sure, it may result in a marginal price reduction for insureds (lol), but it almost certainly has led to fewer staff being hired to the benefit of the overlords. If more and more middle-class white-collar jobs gets replaced by software, that helps put downward pressure on wages. At the end of it all, are the marginally lower prices worth it to society, when everyone has a lower wage or no well paying job forcing them to participate in the gig economy and such?

It’s a depressing thought, and I’ve been trying to break into research engineering roles or something of the sort to get away from my current role but it’s been an uphill task.

We already have contracts in place to get security patches. That’s usually the InfoSec team’s problem anyway.

As a developer, my life gets hard due to library support. We manage internal forks of multiple open source projects just to make them python 2 compatible. A non-trivial amount of time is wasted on this, and we don’t even have it available for public use. 🤷‍♂️

My company makes it super easy for me - we’re just going to continue on python 2.7 and add this to the long list of reasons why we’re not upgrading.

Please send help.

Lemmunity is a great portmanteau of lemmy + community.

Is it a positive to have pathogens that cause dengue/malaria in your blood? Yet we still say that someone tested positive for dengue if they have the virus.

Static analysis tools don’t test for all known issues either, no?

It’s all just semantics dude. :)

You could say “A static analysis tool is testing for the for the presence of defects” or “a medical test is testing if your body is free of diseases that it can detect” to change how you’re looking at either of the tests in the previous comment.

Did you just call “family” the “minor part of life”‽ Or am I misunderstanding you?

“it actually depends”

Yes, it depends. But in this scenario we’re not discussing if statements with one or two conditions. We’re exclusively discussing multiple complicated conditions. :)

I’ve had at least one code reviewer ask me to put all the logic in the if ... line rather than use a variable or two in order to “simplify code by reducing the number of variables.”

At the very least, this article helped me confirm my own bias of “that guy is a moron” and I can send this article to him the next time he reviews my code.
