Sad thing: yesterday I saw a uber eats twat cut a corner (nearly hitting a man on a crosswalk), ride about twenty yards the wrong way on the wrong side down a one-way street while looking at his phone, do a sudden u-turn, ride back the right way still looking at his pone, ignore a yield sign and nearly hit a rootard.
When I travel down a rough, seldom used road or trail, I think what it must have been like creating the first paths through the forest and making the first maps.

I thought it was a bit fishy. If it was about wavelength people with certain coloured pants would appear as floating torsos.
Also, it would appear that I've never worn polarized sunglasses since LCD screens became common. I couldn't even find any of my camera bags so I went ferreting around for a piece of polarising film I knew was inside a book and it's true. 45 degrees left on the two screens I have to hand.
I would not call that incompetent... what again are the rules for a leap year? Are you sure you know them all? It is only 2 rules, though, or 3, depending how you count
I agree it's not incompetent. Incompetent is an understatement; it's retarded.
We're talking about a community college here. The students don't want to know about concepts; they want to know how to put a word in comic sans because when they go for a job interview they aren't going to be asked about concepts. They're going to be asked if they know how to put a word in comic sans.
There's a name for that. I think it's called survivorship bias.
Are there any Victorian houses where you live? I bet they're all solidly built. They built shit houses in the old days too, but those all fell down so you don't see them.
Anyone with the smallest amount of geometric intuition can see that's utter rubbish.
If the seats are raked steeply enough that row N can see the stage over row N-1's heads (which is usually the case, because architects aren't utter idiots) then it stands to reason that the view the opposite way must be blocked.
Yeah, you could mount the mirrors on tall stalks or something like on a mod's scooter. Can't see any problems with that. Can't see the stage either.
For the benefit of our colonial readers: with a few exceptions, any UK university named city + ( famous person, region, or geographical feature) University is a second-rate former poly. A community college, more or less.

Apart from testing, apparently

BINGO!

The sad bit is the last "nearly".

It's a long time since I've seen a cornea joke than that.
I only hang out in places with black walls, you insensitive clod!
OK, I'm lying. Was a metal kid, not a goth.
I thought they blocked it, which is how they cut glare from snow, wet roads etc?

Usability testing's where you show them two static screenshots in slightly different shades of pale grey and ask them which they prefer, isn't it?
Proper HCI is to UX as architecture is to interior design.
Or they come up with shit like A/B testing, which is fuck all use when the correct answer is more like Z or something from the Futhark.
Well somebody proposed it. Nearly the same.
Quota fillers.

I knew the rules when I was about 10.
Wild guess: you're a CS student/grad.
Snobbism. The second b is necessary to preserve the short o sound.

So what you're saying is that it cancels out. Well I suppose a stopped clock is right twice a day.
That's an ... interesting point of view. One not taught on most conventional accounting courses.
Today I learned that Tata & WipeNo run all their code through a decompiler.

gee loads? You said a car, not a horse.
This. You need to know all four squares of the grid.
These people prayed and got better! But how many prayed and didn't get better, how many got better without praying...
