Not having a degree doesn’t mean they don’t know math.

I’m not sure what you’re saying here. Copied over from where to what? The Frame is the only ARM device in the lineup. The Steam Machine is x86.

Hey. There could also be some Record<string, any>.

Everyone is clowning on the order, but clock faces also traditionally use IIII instead of IV.

// these are unicode characters in four hex…

If your dev team needs a comment explaining this I have some serious concerns about their qualifications.

Does the extra fuel you used hauling around your entire launch vehicle not count as waste?

Ugh. Literally refactored multiple factories into straightforward functions in the most recent sprint where I work.

Someone saw a public factory method which was a factory for a reason and just cargo culted multiple private methods using the same pattern.

There a progress bar in an application I wrote that has a one in twenty chance of saying “Reticulating Splines” instead of its usual label.

I have a few hundred users so there are definitely people who have seen it, but so far no one has mentioned it.

For whatever insane windows-y reason, having a thumbs.db file on a network share is one of those slower scenarios for me. Which is odd because you’d expect that to be the kind of situation where it’s actually useful.

What drives me batty about thumbs.db is that on a modern high end machine with an nvme drive it’s not meaningfully faster then just regenerating thumbnails on demand every time, and in fact can be slower under some circumstances. Yet there’s no “I don’t need this turn it off” option.

Even if you don’t count desktop applications like VSCode or Discord or whatever that are written in primarily JavaScript due to those arguably just being packed inside their own little browser engine that they ship with, still yes.

Node.js is an extremely widely used JavaScript runtime environment that people are using to write server back ends and command line utilities and god knows what else in JavaScript.

I cannot express how pleased I am that the company I work for went all-in on remote work during the pandemic and allowed the lease to lapse on most of their office space while sub-letting the rest. RTO is a literal impossibility for us now. We simply don’t all fit in the remaining office space we have, and assuming new leases on more office space obviously looks terrible on quarterly reports.

There are many other ways that the company I work for is miserable, but I take the small victories where I can.

Xerox did that ages ago.

It’s exaggerated. I’m from Newfoundland and have little to no regional accent, but still have very slight grammatical and phonetic tells that are apparently obvious to people from elsewhere.

I use more long “O” sounds than people in the US which is apparently obvious almost immediately, and I have some odd grammar whitch apparently singles me out as from NL very quickly to anyone in Canada.

Also, apparently the way I say “thirteen” has a stronger hint of Newfoundland in it than the rest of my speech, at least according to one of my co-workers from Ontario.

It’s quite possible that having such a wide ranging family same social circle has simple acclimated you to the various regional differences in dialect.

VAC bans are manually reviewed and supposedly get reversed when they are false positives.

I honestly cannot tell which side you’re trying to argue for here.

That’s not a complaint specific to discord though. You just don’t like large chatrooms.

Conceptual numeracy is a human thing. The universe absolutely cares about quantifiable physical properties which we represent as numbers.

People with mods installed who don’t even try removing them when an update breaks are wild to me. I see the same thing in Steam Deck communities where updates don’t play nice with Decky Loader or whatever.

As the other person said, something is wrong if your machine is shutting down instead of just giving choppy playback.

Do you do much heavy CPU with with that machine at all? It’s possible that AV1 decoding is the only thing you’re trying to do that pushes the CPU to that degree. 7th Gen Intel CPUs have hardware decoders for h.265, so the CPU is barely used to play these back, but lacking a decoder for AV1 means it has to be decoded in software, which hits the CPU hard.
