How come they don’t count? They’re figuring out how the machines should work, for money. That’s engineering, right? (I’m an American mechanical engineer)

It’s not just you. My new year’s resolution was to go down from double shots to single shots.

Here you go my friend

Part of the reason this is a great example is you can easily calculate the maximum stress of an I-beam IFF you know where to find the simple formula. Even a dense FEA mesh will always give an answer like 3x4=11.9974, it’s worse. The education is how you know which formula to use.

Ok here’s a question I should have asked like way sooner.

In Ubuntu (and similar distros), is there a hotkey to immediately kill the process? Like CTRL-C but harsher.

I keep telling the stupid thing to stop wasting time and space apologizing, and it won’t.

I’m more of a mechanical engineer than a coder, and for me it’s been super helpful writing the code. The rest of our repo is clear enough that even I can understand what it actually does by just reading it. What I’m unfamiliar with are the syntax, and which nifty things our libraries can do.

So if you kinda understand programs but barely know the language, then it’s awesome. The actual good programmers at my company prefer a minimal working example to fix over a written feature request. Then they replace my crap with something more elegant.

Uh oh, brace yourself for a bunch of whataboutism from blatantly selfish computer nerds. /s

Look, it’s got full disk encryption and I’m very forgetful.

Why does it matter which software we’re running? Running a Bitcoin node on something comes right after running Doom on it.

It’s Not About the Technology, It’s About the Money

I think they meant call centers in general, for legal sales. No they didn’t I’m wrong

"Oh yeah I remember these keyboards! Good times, that was before the

My main thought is “this is a screenshot of a wall of text that’s hard to read”.

FWIW I’m a shitty coder and still don’t work overtime. And I’ve met brilliant engineers who just put up with everything.

The top priority of any tech professional should be building up a cash reserve so you can afford to play hardball.

Which is easier - read a 50-year-old letter, or run a 50-year-old program?

Correcting my code is helpful. The machine didn’t know what I even meant. Computers are interesting and changing rapidly.

Correcting my grammar is an unsolicited English lesson from someone who already knew what I meant. English is not interesting or changing quickly.

Because I just realized the last time I looked into this was 15 years ago 😭

In case no one else mentioned it: prboom for Doom 2
