Okay, so what's an income based repayment plan for a loan?
I had a theory in school that this was the case for presentations too so I always forced myself to go first. No one else to compare me against, and no sitting around getting jittery.
I personally visualize them at a table from time to time.
For some. My mother had a pretty solid biology and medical background before covering medical news.

I, for one, appreciate how jacked everybody in Renaissance art is.
Managers shouldn't have to push testing and bug repro. That should come from your senior engineering staff

If anyone's ever asked:

- what do you do?

- where do you live?

- are you married?

- have any kids?

They're asking about your money and your sex life.

If I'm drinking calories in the form of fermented grass juice -- or anything that isn't plain water -- it'd better be delivering some sort of effect having substance, be it caffeine or alcohol.
Gotta keep those 2020-2022 vintages on a slow decline so they can raise the next fund.

A potato is far more energy dense than popcorn. 2 cups of popcorn looks like a good amount of food, but it's only ~150cal. A good way to trick your brain into thinking it's doing a lot of eating.

What that really means is that they either:

1) aren't doing the sensor fusion we all think they are, out of inability to access the data.

2) the models (and therefore modelers) aren't good enough to use the data they have correctly.

The little arrow by the E is supposed to point to the fuel cap side.

E> means right <E means left

Plants don't typically pull lead out of the soil through their roots. Your main concern should be surface contamination from soil getting splashed onto the plant when it's watered / rains

Leonardo didn't do the Sistine chapel, he didn't even have the focus to finish the Mona Lisa and deliver it to his patron.

And yes, Leonardo was probably the occasional doodler, as he was the occasional inventor, scientist and horseshoe bender.

Re:Logistics, How Did They Do It, Part I: The Problem on Wednesday July 27, 2022 @06:37AM (#32248813)
Think about how much work goes I to supplying a basketball or baseball stadium for a single game for a comparative headcount (less the animals).
It's a top of the class M2 model with cartoonishly big wing, but has been badged as the bare bones entry level 218i model as a joke.
Just like how you don't really expect later devs to learn the intricacies of your hand rolled deployment setup.

The difference is, kubernetes is pretty standardized and therefore learnable in a repeatable way, unlike the Frankenstein of tooling you might otherwise cobble together.

If it's just reviewing people at a higher standard, I don't see how that'll turn high performers away.

Not at all. You use a compressor or some other means to increase the pressure. That's what the electricity is for.
