Nobody blames the 18-wheeler itself if the driver is too incompetent to load or drive it properly under most conditions, and nobody needs to go around blaming C/++, either.
That's one of those odd arguing tactics where you pick something that is incredibly heavily blamed/regulated and claim it isn't. Laws literally ban overly large, difficult, or heavy 18 wheelers. If there is a crash both driver and the company who hired the truck and driver are quite often blamed.
Mirrors, equipment, maintenance, safety checks, etc on the vehicle are all part of federal and state laws and highly regulated.
A flamethrower is simply a more dangerous way to cook a chicken sandwhich than a stove is.
If you all day battery life with a fairly speedy phone, it's the Moto z3. It comes with a battery mod that snaps onto the back that brings battery capacity from the average 3,000mah to 5,000 mah, while still being thin enough to hold easily, use 1 handed, and slip in and out of your pocket easily. (Assuming your hands are big enough for other large phones as well).
Yeah, many devs with cs degrees can write very readable code, but if you have code that looks extremely fancy but is nigh unreadable it's always from a c.s. major.
Unstructered hodepog is self taught, so structured it's incomprehensible is a c.s major.
I go to the effort of switching from youtube in the browser (which almost always defaults to 480) to opening the same video in the youtube app (which usually defaults to 720) becaise I'm watching a video and realize I can't quite see what's going on. And I only have the smaller 5" pixel phone.
I can definitely tell the difference between 480p and 720p on my phone and it's the smaller screened google pixel, not even one of the large screen phones. I'd say about half the videos I'm watching in the browser, it's to grainy, I go through the effory of switching to the youtube app so I can get 720p.
My phone would be a lot less useful if capped at 480.
Stopping quickly more than once in a day is not something anyone would normally do??
That attitude is exactly what's so troubling. The excuse-pandering for something that could actually kill you.
I'm not saying that one has to be hysterical about tesla or anyone else either, but the flippant "oh I don't like it so it wouldn't happen in real life" response is a frightening response to - again - an issue that could kill you. You're not just losing some stats in a game or having some hassle with javing to restore your computer from backups if the steering wheel impales you through the chest because you alrrady braked quickly when a dog ran in front of your car today and now your brakes don't work as well.
No car manifacturer can be perfect, but a dismissive attitude towards real problems - that's a problem.
"Feminists are pro-sex, it's just a gigantic coincidence that everything they say is 100% negative about straight people having sex. Feminists need to be taken seriously, and also, it's totally unfair to blame them for the things they say."
The only thing fuzzbuzz tests is "have you done fizzbuzz before"?
It's a short question filled with every petty trick the author could think ti throw in there. If you haven't seen the tricks they trip you up for no reason related to your actual codung skills. Once you have seen them they're trivial and again unrelated to real work. Fizzbuzz is best passed by someone aiming to game the interview system. It passes people gaming it and trips up people who spent their tume doing on the job real work.
Yeah, I went out of my way and was willingvto spend a lot more money on a taller display in a pc laptop - you cannot even buy it. Everyone wants to do 16:9 and that's it, even on expensive woekstation machines.
Would love 3:2.
Hey look, you tried to throw out more marketing buzzwords and change the topic.
Clearly you're one of the people I'm talking about - it sounds like you're an agile consultant right? Sounds like you give orders to a bunch of remote people you never see in person?
Like I said, the "agile is magic" lines are always pushed by people who are not actually writing code under agile. Agile consultants. Managers. People who use it to get away from daily coding and out of morning standups. But for the people actually coding, agile sucks.
You know what other system had an "owner" (product owner), and a "master" (scrum master) who was an uneducated person with little power to change the schedule but all the responsibilty for the people under them meeting timelines? The slave plantation system in the us south. Slave overseers are curiously in much the same position as scrum masters.
I've also never met anyone who's actually doing day-to-day coding that likes agile. The only people I meet who like it are people who used agile to get *out* of coding. Managers, "architects" who uses agile to move away from day to day coding, "product owners" who again used agile to get out of coding under the agile system, and agile consultants.
"Praise agile and we will reward you by removing you from the hell of working under agile!", basically.
Yeah that's definitely what I see in most of the responses here. Holy cow, what a bunch of crap. Coding is not "just math". Coding is not "better" if you can code outside of a computer - on the computer is where you're coding.
Imagine taking out the life-debt that modern college costs, only to have someone avoid actually teaching you to code and instead they teach you "math" or "how to write answers on paper". Good lord.
Like every engineering disaster, somebody found the problem, but management works overtime to try to blame someone else.
- State has a system where important safety communications are left on a landline voicemail service which isn't checked if the 1 state employee is out of the office on assignment which is common.
- No one closed the road under the bridge while they were tightening the cables that held up the bridge, during which the bridge collapsed.
- The engineering team apparently did analyze the cracks and concluded they were not a safety concern. We don't know that this is wrong, the bridge might have collapsed because of cable tightening and the cracks that showed up before that were irrelevant.
But those engineers also need communication skills â" including persuasive skills. Engineers who can find somebody in authority and convince them to take action save lives.
Management needs to get off it's ass and actually do it's job, including dealing with safety issues. Management holds the power to hire and fire people, it's the engineers job to inform management of safety issues and to analyze, it is not their job to babysit management who's feeling might be hurt if they hear bad news.
You might be surprised how shockingly low the age of puberty actually is.
The onset of puberty varies among individuals. Puberty usually occurs in girls between the ages of 10 and 14, while in boys it generally occurs later, between the ages of 12 and 16. In some African-American girls, puberty begins earlier, at about age 9, meaning that puberty occurs from ages 9 to 14.
The same people that were making out with people their same age when they were 10, grew up to be adults and are now wringing their hands at all that "dirty teenage sex" that's happening and they just can't believe it!
No one said "let's have early teens sending sexual pics on our platform". They said:
- Does facebook want to pay for the large number of employees to read through everyone's messages?
- Is it morally right for facebook to be reading everyone one of your private messages? I'm sure an ai already does, but should this would mean an actual person sifting through every one of your messages.
- If facebook hires people to read your messages are they legally liable now if they don't report other crimes communicated through their platform? What if you planned a robbery on facebook? What if you admitted to jaywalking on facebook? Should you be reported? What if you were joking around with some friends on facebook, facebook called the police, and the police showed up at your house and killed you?
I see the same crowd who thinks the NSA reading their messages is bad, suddenly be 100% fine with the same thing as long as you put "sex" and "children" in the description. How much money do you think would become involved in bribing these minders to pass along the private messages of a corporate competitor, or competing politician, or members of a political group?
Bullies need weak people to attack to show off how powerful they are, nerds are socially week, so they nerds were their target.
They tried going after other more mainstream groups first - those groups didn't care. They were like "ok if you say so" and they moved onto the next thing. It was only with nerds that they found a group so desperate for social validation that you could always find someone to repeat any mean thing you told them in some sort of religious level "I am full of sin tell me what to think to release me" kind of thing.
Funny enough it was exactly that nerds putting women on a pedestal and would bend over backwards to treat women well, that made them the perfect target for telling everyone that they were bad bad bad with women. Nerds were so desperate for female approval they'd believe and repeat almost anything that they though might get it.
Please, the reaction to the Damore pdf was something out of a grade school popularity contest with all the lying and careful manipulation trying to reframe his document into the feminist narrative.
- They claimed he "sent out a memo" when on one in an organization actually calls these things memos
- They claimed he was a manager distributing google's company-wide policy when in reality he was just some random guy inside the company
- He cited scientific sources for the things he said but the released verison mysteriously had those sources edited out (and who knows if other things were edited)
- It just goes on an on like this
Google fired him because sheep went along with whatever their feminists master said. Then google got hit with a lot of backlash it didn't expect. Now it's firing the people who stirred up the pot in an attempt at damage control over the whole situation. They can't come out the good guy but they're trying to come out as not taking a side in an insane political war.

Let's be realistic - most likely the so called "stalking" is someone reading someone's profile info who they're to timid to even talk to in person.
Fizzbuzz is nothing but a collection of cheap tricks from people who are good at tricks and being loud and bad at coding.
The only thing fuzzbuzz tests is "have you done fizzbuzz before"? It's a short question filled with every petty trick the author could think ti throw in there.

^ That line of thinking certainly falls in line with your "white people are all evil and should be put in camps and killed" philosophy
You guys have fake strawman arguments down to a science that's for sure.
I wish I had points to upvote you, you're right - slashdot comments have always been like this. Maybe it's the Russians downvoting you. :-)
So you're just trolling here right?
