Wow! I want a huge quantity of those no penises sign so I can stick them all over town

That’s some juicy drama

To make it more educational make it interact with the system and the user . For example I would have the program to show a list of real files from the os and prompt the hacker to delete it or not.

Stop transfering people from sales to engineering!

'I’m a bad programmer" then later lists extra curriculars that dwarfs my skills

I don’t think the issue is him; it’s the economy. Companies are probably not really looking to increase their workforce but still conducting interviews just in case they find a “Rockstar”

It is a social issue. People being incapable of taking care of themselves is inevitable. All civilizations had these issues. Families, churches and general generosity of neighbors have always been used to mitigate this.

Now with the wealth gap increasing and the individualistic philosophy in our society with not noticing and tending to these early on. We only notice once the person is a full blown junkie. Many needed help for a a short moment in life and could of become autonomous after, many are both permanently incapable of autonomy. Either way society have to deal with them. We have enough resources! For the price of just one of those opulent pick up we could probably shelter one person for 2-5 years.

It’s an entry point for explaining how personal vehicles if inherently inefficient

Are they laughing?

Whenever someone bring up electric cars as a fix I just say : “tires”

When they are out on the sidewalk isn’t it because the are trying to get out of the grass because it’s too damp and they’ll drown in it?

I moved to the city so I don’t have to drive every day. The only way for me to not daydream while driving was to drive fast enough for it to be dangerous.

One of my friend, often a my passenger, admitted he felt safer when I was driving fast and when I was a low speed he would “copilot” for me.

At its core, CS is a competitive shooter. Having casual maps and modes is fun but the game should not cater to this play mode. If valve tries to make it casual friendly they will disappoint the competitive players and will not be able to compete with other casual shooters.

Basically I don’t want then to cater too much to the casual scene

That’s your experience.

I have worked in very reputable places and none of that tip would reach the cooks. If we were lucky they would pay us a beer at the club later. I think it’s regional though. I know in Quebec waiters won’t share because the government assume they get 15% tip from everything bill and taxes them accordingly.

I can edit my street as a dead end to lower bar traffic, cool!

Would you rather have them only use it outside of school work where no one will point out that it can be wrong? Teachers could also ask questions on the studied subject in class to teach student that by copy pasting the output they are not learning much.

ChatGPT exist, kid will use it. Should adults guide them?

So the homework is encouraging kids to explore a real life tool and the teacher can look at the result and corrects any issue with the result thus guiding the students towards a appropriate usage.

It’s a good thing.

I always right my code linearly like on the left example with comments like further in the articles. Actually what I do if I right all the comments first and then add the code. If I push my code like that everyone immediately understand my code find bugs & potentiel issues with it and then tells me to refactor it in whatever flavor of best practice they like. If I structure it like on the right reviewers still complain about the structure I choose but never identify any bug or other real issues.

All my career everyone would say elegance and cleverness are bad but everyone who gets promoted are the one who insist on elegant and clever code. I guess it’s because their confident and vocal and that’s what human are programmed to pick as leaders

Fuck cars

If you go into the detailed explanation (and can read French) they do have some hydraulic pumping included in their “batteries” section.

In their 100% renewables scénario on a peak consumption (105gw) hour and peak energy production (sun at zenith) they would store the excess production like such:

• 7.2gw to water pumping
• 22gw to static batteries
• 2gw back to the grid (chatting electric vehicles I guess).

Also even in their most nuclear scenario (50% nuclear, 50% renewables) they still include 7.2gw of water pumping.

I’m curious of why you put so much value in water pumping? As a Quebecois I have a small notion of how disruptive (flooding of vast areas of land, massive amounts of concrete, dead rivers downstream of the dam ) water reservoirs for hydroelectricity can be and I have a hard time imagining a viable way of relying extensively on that technique.

That’s accurate. There’s always a few steps not included in the tutorial
