It's probably both.

This is a poor analogy because I don't think your inability to do long division will cause as much damage as an inability to bring the site back up in an emergency situation.

Yeah, this really blew me away. I took a graduate computational complexity course and the original prof had to drop out due to health reasons. We got another professor from a completely different field who was basically as green in the field as we were, but with far better research chops. It turned the course into kind of a long-running lab where we just kind of did whatever we wanted. We spent a lot of time just philosophizing (mostly uselessly) about the ETH. I am very chuffed to see this result.

I don't think we need a diagnosis for "asshole"

How long would you be able to sustain a mostly-comfortable lifestyle if you were to lose your job right now with no chance of finding new employment? If the answer is, say, more than a year, that might alter your perspective on the issue.

C++ requires defensive programming, so I guess it fits that defense requires C++ programming.

Sort of. It's an FPS. I also highly doubt it will ever be released.

Hi I posted it. I'm just a guy in the chat who saw it on YouTube.

Ahhhh yeahhhh

Username checks out. Why age when you can sacrifice your life for climate preservation.

I did not make this, for the record. I just found it.

A few years ago, I had a series of health conditions that left me in unbearable suffering every moment of every day. At a certain point, when it was obvious that there was no probable way out, my mind reflexively starting tell me to kill myself. I would look at any menial object and my mind would automatically start considering ways I could use that object to end my life.

This went on for months, on and off. I wouldn't say I "endured" it, but I trained myself to just try to get through the next hour, or the next minute if things were really bad.

I'm much better now and that experience in many ways helped me, but I have no romantic feelings about it and I'd prefer if it hadn't happened. If someone had given me a painless out that I could trust back then, I almost certainly would have taken it. Instead, I learned acceptance in a pretty awful way.

I'm saying this for a specific reason: for many people, their suicide isn't some act of "giving up" or not being willing to endure; it's that some physiological process has begun that strongly urges you to do it every moment of every day. I understand why people have some anger or disappointment with loved ones who have died by suicide, but I personally do not feel that way. After what I experienced, I'm just happy that any of us get a chance to live in peace at all.

For the record, this is how I feel working with other software engineers.

You should read actual studies on what you're suggesting rather than investing in "controversial takes" that are categorically wrong.

According to the Star Trek timeline, we first need to experience the Bell Riots, the Eugenics Wars, and World War III before your proposal can be enacted.

I heard this in Worf's voice, with a long pause before "inspiration."

I've been on my deathbed a few times over, and worse. Whatever life I left is a freebie for me.

You need better friends

This server also had planned downtime maintenance. The article specifically mentions "no unplanned downtime."

Which RTS is it? I'm a fan of the genre.

Yes, those poor executives.

It can only good happen.

Literal pencil-pushers are ruining the product!

This is also pretty funny considering how much of Singapore's business is related to sheltering the wealth of the rich from other nations.

When I was a kid, my local small-town library used to have a "reading competition" each summer. They would set up about 10 small interactive dioramas each with a different theme -- a ski hill, a dragon's cave, etc. You'd get a little paper cut-out figure that represented you on your journey through the competition.

At each stage, you'd do some activity on the diorama to determine what sort of book you had to read next -- i.e. a little spinner, or a launcher that would launch your paper dude into a bunch of cups each with a different topic written on the side. You then had to find a book at the library on the topic, and the librarian would gauge whether it was appropriately "difficult" for your reading level, or whether you were trying to read something easy just to progress faster.

Each time you finished a book, they'd ask you a few questions to ensure you read it, and then you could progress to the next diorama. If you completed the circuit, you got a star on the board and could restart from the beginning. Some kids would do 10 or more circuits in a single summer.

I had a blast with it. I lived pretty far away so couldn't participate as much as I would have liked, but kids in walking distance would sometimes read a book every day or two just to keep going. All those librarians are gone and the library has moved on to a different location, and I never did find out who was responsible for building all those dioramas every summer.
