Or the 00s-10s when everything had to be “HD”.

In fairness to requiring “excellence”, I’d imagine most professionals have excellent skills in their field compared to the average person.

it’ll just let you do that

Pretty much sums up JavaScript’s entire philosophy.

You can give a 400 response a body though. It doesn’t stop you from replying.

As someone in the dev team for a “business app”, we probably know about most or all of them, but they’re just not important enough for anyone in management to prioritize them as part of a sprint. It’s also possible no one has given us reproducible steps to make them happen, so we just straight up don’t know what to fix. Usually the former though.

They don’t even have to go down. Staying stable or even going up at a consistent rate are both considered failure states, or at least unfavorable. If the rate of growth is not itself growing then they start worrying.

It’s insane.

Even if they don’t, OP’s friend could just give OP a copy of his GOG version.

GOG games are DRM free and do not need to be cracked. They’re freely shareable as-is.

The question is whether the crossplay works between the Steam and GOG versions, and a quick Google shows that the answer is yes.

Or a giant company where customer tantrums are just background noise that is easily ignored.

If I correctly understand what you are saying

You did not, but he also picked an example that could be conflated with the 4-spaces issue.

They’re talking about situations where you might want to align text by a number of spaces that isn’t divisible by your tab size. I’ll expand on their example:

function test(&obj, &obj2, &a) {
$obj->doSomething()
....->doSomethingElse()

$obj2->doSomething()
.....->doSomethingElse()

$a->doSomething()
..->doSomethingElse()
}

Again, dots are “visible spaces” in this example, and being used to align chained methods with the length of the object name.

symmetric right?

I talked about this in another thread recently, but my favorites are the ones that are so lopsided that you literally can’t send back ACKs fast enough to keep up with your own download speeds when using TCP.

Even now that we’ve by and large settled on 8 bits per byte it’s still useful to call out the communication rate as distinct from the actual payload data transfer rate, as there are other sources of overhead.

You’ll never actually see a 1MB/s transfer over an 8Mbps connection because some of those bits are going to be used for things like packet headers, keep alive messages, etc.

My own take as someone internal to that process is that it was a combination of 1 and 5.

I have no idea how candidates were screened. I do know that even before the “technical challenge” we had a large number of candidates completely faceplant on lowball questions asking what single line snippets of code did.

I can also say that I absolutely did not expect prod-ready results from the challenge. But I did expect things like not vomiting raw uuids on the screen instead of user readable values when displaying results. Or not having commits from overseas dev contractors which did all the actual work in your git log.

Given the number of people in our last round of hiring who completely failed at producing said shed this step was 100% necessary.

It’s such a short list of value types though. How can they have that much trouble? All of the various ints and floats, bool, char, structs, and enums. Everything else is reference.

Definitely a timesaver. Much faster to get incorrect email validation that way then to try building it yourself.

Torrents aren’t a great option for a niche thing that doesn’t have a wide audience.

Literally nothing in your meandering comment addressed the sentiment that motivated the one you were responding to. Id est, lots of people with large trucks do not need large trucks and could do just fine with a smaller truck or even a sedan.

I like this idea in theory, but some combinations of fingers are very awkward to extend without the others, and one particular combination is very rude.

Every command that isn’t fully expanded PowerShell commands is an alias. dir and ls are both aliases for Get-ChildItem.
