  • I assumed we weren't talking "expected semicolon" since that ones pretty explanatory and would never appear on a blank line. That said, it does provide an opportunity to talk about the worst code style I ever saw. A dude decided he wanted semicolons at the start of lines so that compiler error always mapped to the line he would have put the semicolon on

  • It depends on what you're using. I see it most often with TypeScript when the source maps are incorrect

  • Vote federation can be weird

  • There are benefits and costs. Cloudflare makes it easy to maintain high uptime as a small site sysadmin at the cost of free DDoS protection isn't actually free. Cloudflare turns all users of websites that employ it into the products of surveillance capitalism

  • Nestle also sold Wonka, I believe

  • A gdpr request on content you create but do not own just anonymizes the references to who created and edited the articles you contributed to

  • That's what we get with the Republicans' hostage taking political strategy. True policy improvemants take around 30 years to enact, oversee, and reap the benefits from. Starting with Reagan, almost nothing ever gets seen through. Every politician is on a two year clock to block or pass enough bills to get funding to do it again. As an organism our country has ADHD

  • "You haff ignored the requisite 10 varnings. You only haff three more varnings before ve vill be forced to fine you €6B"

  • Lot of work drama and silliness. I'm not getting enough exercise. It's making me feel sad

  • Hackerrank is a huge joke for so many reasons. I would rather hire a Dev whose biggest project thus far is an arduino project with 6 stars on github than looking at someone's hacker rank

  • The horses that ship internationally like this are generally worth $1M+ so its not like this was the solution every settled on as "eh, good enough" and more like, even with all this time and effort, this is still the beat solution we can come up with. Also for what its worth, I don't know that this measure has ever been taken in my lifetime. The sedatives have always worked in every case I've know. Putting down a horse in international shipping for safety is an extreme edge case

  • They are sedated to oblivion. Its just that like any sedative or anesthetic it can wear off if things get so stressful that the drugs turn out not to be enough.

  • Attendants ride with the horses when shipping overseas. If a horse panics it can imbalance the plane leading to catastrophic failure

  • Both my parents were large animal vets. I kinda didn't get an option not to learn this

  • I mean don't bother with jobs that ask you about esoteric programming challenges or nonsense brain teasers. All questions or take home problems should be demonstrations of your ability to work with the actual material issues at the company you're going to be working for

  • If you've never done it before, congratulations, try to keep it that way. If its your first time you're going to want a tube of greese paint or some chalk. Draw an x using it from the left eye to the right ear, and the right ear to the left eye. The convergence point is the thinnest part of the skull. You're going to want to use a small caliber hand gun for this next part. .22 is what most vets recommend. A police service pistol is way too much and will make a huge mess. You're going to shoot the horse at the center of the x with the gun held very close, but not directly on the horses head. The idea is you cannot miss from this distance, but you also won't create a pressure problem that causes the gun to misfire. The idea with all of this is its the least likely for mistakes. In an emergency, such as shipping a horse overseas on a plane, a trained attendant will use a higher caliber handgun, such as a .38, and skip the x, instead eyeballing it.

  • Also this isn't how you shoot a horse

  • Focus on jobs that don't do white boarding
