> As to why Mormons tend to be so into it, I have a theory.

No need to theorize, the rapture plays a big role in their canon, and is proselytized heavily.

Snooze, please repeat more of the MBA playbook to me.

None of this matters, not even PGs post, but it's the comment section, so here we are...

The definition PG gives for an obstinate person is someone who doesn't listen, with the implication that they are "wrong". I'm just presenting a scenario that is very common in my world, where people may not be right or wrong, but differing and strong opinions lead to people being mislabeled as obstinate.

IMO, "Alignment" is a bullshit word used by people to basically say "my way or the highway". I might even say it's mostly used by obstinate people. :)

Within the context of persistent people at the top of the decision tree, how often are persistent people labeled obstinate because they disagree with another persistent person (likely their boss) on a decision that will likely lead to 2 separate but nearly successful outcomes?

On reflection, was there anything you would have done or looked for differently in the 3 junior devs? Something you think would actually have changed your outcome? Do you blame yourself in any way for not being able to develop the junior devs?

FWIW, I'm currently on this trajectory (as the mentor).

No, and the content of the tweets certainly dont support his claim. As someone else pointed out he's already tweeted this "story" in the past. It's all low effort self promotion for his brand.

Small footprint and fast are 2 big ones.

> you are allowed a pass

A pass to write an article about a topic and mention a book you've written about said topic? (That is what we are talking about right?)

Absolutely!

It's always humbling to think I know a topic pretty well only to meet a true expert on the topic. It makes me think about how much time I spent learning it to not really feel like I know it at all, and makes me second guess my learning process. I can think of several times in my career/life where this has happened.

Also related, learning something, only to find out later that your understanding of something was incorrect, or made incorrect assumptions. Always humbling.

I fixed it to diameter.

Worth noting that 10kT is 3 orders of magnitude(!) smaller than current warheads. The "instant death" diameter is > 10 miles nowadays. So yea, just a full city :)

Edit: radius -> diameter

> "On Copilot+ PCs powered by a Snapdragon® X Series processor, you will see the Recall taskbar icon after you first activate your device.

Another Windows ARM push... If Recall is only available on these devices I think it's doomed to failure.

You could also buy a Win11 key directly from MS which will activate a Win10 installation if you're worried about legitimacy.

Yes, you just use the Win10 media installer (free download from MS) and buy a win10 key off Amazon or wherever.

Very timely, I just came across this account doing this exact thing if you want to see it in action.

If you inspect their comment history, they are recommending several products in almost every reply. ContractsCounsel is one of the services they recommend. The formula they use for recommending is very similar for every post.

Also interesting, one of their only actual posts mentions the phenomenon of using bots to advertise, I guess trying to throw people off their trail?

I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but you won't find much sympathy for this viewpoint on this forum :)

If this article was written 4 years ago the title would have been,

"Google is combining …, and it's all about Blockchain"

It's slower but maybe the target audience is different? Armadillo prioritizes MATLAB like syntax. I use armadillo as a stepping stone between MATLAB prototypes and a hand rolled C++ solution, and in many scenarios it can get you a long ways down the road.

Recently experienced an excellent colleague ask for a raise to $X, get rejected, leave, the replacement was hired for more than $X, the replacement complained about the workload being too much, and so we hired another body to cover the original developer leaving, again for more than $X. Absolute madness.

> Do you mean like socializing, hobbies, sports and just being a kid

Having assigned homework means you cant do any of these things?

Yes, and it's a huge attraction. For better or for worse?

I would be very surprised if most people actually choose to develop in C++. It's a very good language choice for many domains, and I suspect interest and expertise in those domains drives people to C++ more than a desire to program in C++.

I'm curious if you do hiring, and if yes, for how long? There was a time in my career where grades were a data point that could be used. But I agree, nowadays not so much for the engineering roles I deal with.

What do you consider the grades you give your students if not an "evaluation" of their performance in your class? Alternatively, if you do consider them an evaluation, are you saying your grades are not effective at evaluating them?

Works for me.

Some sort of banner at the top of Teams indicating there is ongoing issues would be nice.

It's always interesting to hear others experiences. I've used Teams for 4+ years now with zero issues until this morning. I'm only mad in that I tried troubleshooting my PC and network connection for far too long before seeing this thread.

> I wonder if the men's remarks aren't often born of envy?

Is there any other way to interpret it? (Genuinely asking!)

You don't know how much they are paying for components. (Hint: It's not retail)

R&D means something very specific when it comes to tax implications (this context). Most companies I've worked for have included all software development time as R&D (including stuff like modifying buttons). Don't try to force some book definition on it, unless that book is the tax code for R&D tax credits, it doesn't work.
