I’ve worked at a few firms and never heard of an IT budget for f-ups. Sounds like a toxic work environment.

A fun way to learn new languages is a chrome extension for having dual subtitles on Netflix movies. I find it’s a good way to pick up slang and idioms of the target language.
Re:Musk’s Twitter Purchase Was a Leveraged Buyout on Friday November 04, 2022 @01:30PM (#33470533)
His net worth is tied to Tesla, he would have to post his stock as collateral. If he fails to make good on the interest payments they can take it out of his equity. If tesla stocks drop dramatically, there could be a margin call that could put Twitter in a precarious situation.
Are there any OS projects that would turn a computer into a word processor like this? Seems like a nice way to bring an old laptop back to life.

Re:Hard Part of Computer Science? Getting into Class on Thursday January 24, 2019 @09:51AM (#18989124)
Georgia Tech's online Masters in CS appealed to me for this very reason. Classes generally seat 300-700 and limited by the number of TAs they can hire. There's a fair chance of getting into popular classes since their not limited by the dimensions of a physical room.
Re:Alternative code styles on Monday October 15, 2018 @09:57AM (#18219661)
that's just for writing c interfaces to kdb.

As someone who writes q all day, it's typical to see functions written in one line and no white spaces. The mantra is, if it takes you more than 1 line you're probably doing it wrong.

Along the same lines, on a visit to San Fran I was surprised to see a 3-4% healthcare surcharge at restaurants. You sit for a nice meal only to get a sticker shock when the bill comes. smh
Their graphs mention Mrps and Krps, any idea what the R stands for?
Re:Announcing new tools, forums, and features on Wednesday September 14, 2016 @08:59PM (#12502587)
Here's an example. It's meant to illustrate 2 developers working on a feature branch based on master and one pulls their code in before the other.

https://github.com/jparmstrong/gittest/pull/3/files

- Two feature branches were created based on master at the same time.

- Branch1: committed a change to readme and it's pulled into master via PR.

- Branch2: committed a change to readme, raised a pull request (PR#3), and the diff doesn't show the line that was added with the branch1 pull request.

In this example, the PR is telling me there's a conflict and I need to merge master with the PR branch (this is good). What it doesn't tell me is where the conflict is.

Solution, merge the base branch into the interim PR branch. The result will show you the conflict and properly represents what would happen if this PR is accepted. (Bitbucket does this)

Thanks for following up.
