Your mistake was giving them an answer instead of asking how the scale was setup before giving them a number. Psychologically, by answering first your established that the question was valid as presented and it anchored their expectations as the ones you had to live up to. By questioning it you get to anchor your response to a different point.

Sometimes questions like this can be used to see how effective a person will be in certain lead roles. Recognizing, explaining and disambiguating the trap question is a valuable lead skill in some roles. Not all mind you... And maybe not ones most people would want.

But most likely you dodged a bullet.

I agree only when your job function is specifically geared around those tools... Otherwise high quality guis are more valuable.

Just because I can do everything in gdb that I can do in visual studio doesn't mean 99% of most debugging tasks isn't easier and faster in visual studio. Now if my job was specifically aimed at debugging/reverse engineering there are certain things that gdb does better on the CLI... But for most software devs... CLI gdb isn't valuable.

Self documenting code is infinitely more valuable than comments because then code spreads with it's use, whereas the comments stay behind.

I got roasted at my company when I first joined because my naming conventions are a little extra. That lasted for about 2 months before people started to see the difference in legibility as the code started to change.

One of the things I tell my juniors is, "this isn't the 80s. There isn't an 80 character line limit. The computer doesn't benefit from your short variable names. I should be able to read most lines of code as a single non-compound sentence in English with only minor tweaks and the English sentence should be what is happening in most of those lines of code."

Technically didn't that already make you a vampire... Just one that lives in a society where you pay money to a good of people to find and boil those pancreas for you?

The only way a small number of people survive alone is by having money and a large group of people to buy things from and have those things brought to them by the large group... Oh wait... That's not alone... Right right. My bad.

Sadly only the compiler will know the true value of my constexpr forLove;

If you read my other reply and nolijil's follow up you can add potassium and magnesium to chicken broth without affecting the flavor at all and it will be nearly a complete electrolyte source. If you can take a couple of Tums a day for calcium as well you will have all of the primary electrolytes covered.

Most commercial electrolyte mixes don't supplement magnesium.

I did mention it... But it was in the middle of the wall of text.

I appreciate your better breakdown of the artificial sweeteners.

All three of those are literally salted sugar water... What do you mean not just salted water?

Yup. If chicken stock or beef stock is palatable to you it is an excellent electrolyte source.

I am going to second making your own. Most electrolyte solutions are only sodium chloride, potassium chloride and sugar.

Morton's makes a thing that is literally this without the sugar. It's called "lite salt". https://www.mortonsalt.com/article/morton-lite-salt-mixture-nutritional-facts/

Any "lite salt" should do the trick. You will also need a multivitamin/multimineral as well but if you are just looking for an "electrolyte" replacement drink... It's just lite salt, water and sugar. If you want to get fancy you can add magnesium and calcium.

Is it salty? Yes. It's salt. Electrolytes are salts.

How do I make it not salty? Add sugar.

Why are the things like propel bitter? Fake sugar + salt tastes bitter to some people. Most Gatorade/propel blends also need to be low cal so they use fake sugars. Gatorade originally had like 60grams of sugar in a bottle. That doesn't sell well anymore. You, however can go nuts and use as much sugar as you like.

Is there electrolytes that don't taste salty? No. They are salt.

What other options do I have? Pills. But if you aren't eating you might not absorb them well.

Edit: after reading some other posts I am going to add the following.

Gatorade is potassium and sodium salt + sugars, artificial sweetener and flavors. You can check the nutritional facts. It only provides sodium and potassium... No calcium or magnesium. Gatorade is literally "lite salt" plus sugar, flavorings, artificial sugar and water.

Monk fruit, stevia and the like all have bitter aftertastes.

Personally my favorite artificial sweetener is erythritol. Incidentally it is the only artificial sweetener that doesn't cause an insulin response. Monster zero energy drinks are sweetened with it for a flavor profile.

I'm surprised this isn't linked, there are services that does this for you.

And they are free.

First past the post creates these razor thin margins. It's not organic. If we had a ranked choice required plurality then the margins would widen in most races and flip in others.

Perl, no wait you said without arcane syntax....

Below the 3.0 volt limit will reduce usable cycle count by 30-80% Everytime the cell drops that low. Charging over 4.1 will reduce usable cycle count as well.

Example # of usable cycles if you stop discharge at 3.2 and stop charging at 4.0 for modern lipos can be 5000-10000 cycles.

Charging to 4.3 every cycle (phone batteries are rated to 4.3 not 4.2... it's why they have the larger than expected wh capacity numbers) will reduce that to 500.

Discharge it to 2.5 and you will get 10-50 cycles.

For those who are just looking at the SD or their phones... Most devices report 0% at 3 or 3.1v and 100% at 4.3 or 4.2 volts... So basically discharging to 0% doesn't matter... It's the charging to 100% that matters to most people.

If you charge to 100% you will get about 500 charges (it doesn't matter what the % is you start at is... 90% -> 100% is the same one cycle as 20% -> 100%). That's about two years of use for most people before your battery starts to suffer and you will see noticable decrease in battery life.

If you charge to 70% you will get about 10 years before you will see a drop in battery life. 80% will get you about 6-8 years.

There is more. Go check the stickied post.

I love your you immediately got 4 replies proving your point. 🤣

You do know you need an account on the NSFW instances to see the stuff on them right?
