I marvel at the proficiency with which Microsoft tears down every piece of software it touches nowadays.

Sending “temporary” changes into your CI pipeline isn’t even stupid, it’s borderline malicious.

No? “Hey customer, I’ve deployed the changes you requested to the staging area. Is this what you had in mind? Keep in mind it only looks good and isn’t fully functional yet.”

The electron is rotating in the sense that it resists a tilting force.

That means that the HR account thinks what the employee account wrote is bad, too. Both posts are bad extremes.

As an employee, if i find a prospective colleague who doesn’t ask about what they’re supposed to be doing at all, I’d be wary of them, too.

Depending on the configuration, a linter may cause the compilation or a CI pipeline to fail.

Huh? If they’d do everything else faster, they’d only get faster to the boring stuff. How is that an incentive?

Yes, I’d rather have 35 different IDEs for every task I need to do. Much better than One To Rule Them All.

To be fair, the US thought that there were spies at Los Alamos, and they were right.

Napping at the office is something I wish I were able to do (I can’t really fall asleep ‘on demand’). I believe it’s common in Japan to sleep while commuting due to their hostile work culture. In the southern European countries it’s customary to have a mid-day nap, though I don’t know if you’d have at at the office.

Also: Just because they’re symbolising ‘office’ with a desk and chair, that doesn’t mean they expect you to sleep there. But if they showed a dedicated rest room (bad choice of words), no-one would think ‘office’.

Recall stores an image every few seconds. 5 minutes is indeed much worse. Think of all the content they’re missing!

I like this warning. Many young people already suffer from hearing loss due to excessive volume. But I cannot understand why they don’t measure how loud the song actually is right now. I have many songs in my library that just are not mixed as loud, or start quietly and then ramp up. Why do I get the ‘your music is too loud’ message for those?

On my old-ass Samsung, you cannot turn down the volume while that message is shown. So when your phone is in a pocket and you increase the volume but don’t notice that the message appeared, you cannot save your ears when the next song actually is much louder.

An “images” subdirectory of the “pictures” folder?

pictures/images

not “pictures/images”

It’s hyperbole. He’s saying you’re driving so fast it might as well be the speed of sound.

The navbar has an annoying left border.

There is no such thing as a “stolen” meme. Memes are meant to be shared.

multiple people edited my question to change the grammar and take out the thanks and smiley at the end

Well, the Welcome Tour tells you that SO is about “just questions and answers”. This facilitates finding a question that’s written as concise as possible, checking its answer, and leaving. SO is deliberately not like a forum.

SE seems too heavily focusing on helping a “generic public” rather than the actual people asking the questions.

This is just another consequence of not being a forum. Of course SO wants questions to be helpful to as many people as possible. I don’t see how that is a bad thing.

If you want a laxer approach to handling quality, consider if you’ve ever found useful information on yahoo answers.

I don’t think you understand what a dark pattern is.

You do understand the concept of a speed limit, right?

It’s funny how the ‘acceptable’ amount to go over the speed limit is always 10. No matter if it’s kph or mph. It’s 10.
