> One is counterfeit and is either heavier or lighter
It turned out the counterfeit was lighter and you discarded it after the first weighing.
Depends on what level of abstraction you create it.
Two examples:
1. a person creates a complex video game using assembly language (Roller Coaster Tycoon). It can probably be said this person understands very intimately how every aspect of his game works at every level of the computer.
2. a person creates a complex video game using <Unity, Unreal, etc.>. It can probably be said that the person understands how their game works at a high level, but lower levels (memory, OS, graphics) are still magic to that person.
It's both. Some drugs are so powerful, that you will lose your moral compass and do anything to secure more of the drug, including harming others. So, while I agree for the most part, certain hard drugs like heroin will have you mugging old ladies as soon as you run out of money.
10/4 = 2.5
vs.
10/3 = 3.33333...
Sound like your story actually invalidates this point. You didn't have a price - you refused and didn't cave.
Which sports is the author referring to other than American Football? I played volleyball, and the coach had little control over the way a serve would play out other than which players were on the court.
It's called "cargo cult science" and it's an important part of the AI hype train to keep funding coming.
Seems like YAML tried too hard to be predictive of intent. I never got into YAML myself simply because it seemed like "JSON, but less ubiquitous and more hassle to find libraries that support it"
Holy cow, yes. My wife's XPS 13 had the crappiest Killer WiFi card, and Dell would not acknolwedge that it was the source of all of our issues no matter what I tried, no matter what evidence I presented. The WiFi card was causing all sorts of issues from slow browsing, to the entire computer freezing on restart/shutdown, to no WiFi after wake up from sleep... the list goes on.
I finally rage quit after a session with Dell support had me run hours of meaningless diagnostics tools and then said everything was ok and to check my router. I told them right from the get go that I suspected the Killer WiFi card was faulty, but the technicians always ignored that piece of info.
I bought an Intel 8265 to replace the Killer WiFi card, and when I went to replace it, the antenna ball broke off of the Killer card and was stuck inside the little socket! There was a tiny flake of solder I was able to grab with my finest pliers and pull it out, allowing me to install the Intel card. After installing the Intel card EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM described earlier went away.

$30 was all it would have taken to make the XPS 13 from a piece of garbage to an awesome laptop. I'm already paying $1000+, why not $1030+? But now, I will never buy another XPS again because it required 10+ hours of my time to troubleshoot and fix all by myself.
1. Promote from principal engineer to technical manager
2. 2 years later -> this person sucks at management but they were a great engineer
3. "Promote" from technical manager -> principal engineer level 2
> I read an article (semi) recently posted here where women and other minorities felt attacked on Stack Overflow because of their gender/color, even though they were (for all intents and purposes) anonymous! Could this be the case here as well - women interpreting something that's not sexual harassment as sexual harassment? I.e. if a professor criticizes a woman's paper, she might interpret that as an attack on her gender, even if it isn't: > The most common type of sexual harassment is gender harassment, the report finds. Such behaviour conveys the impression that women do not belong in the workplace or do not merit respect — “the put-downs as opposed to the come-ons”, Johnson says
Is this self-reported harassment? If so, a "put-down" is highly subjective and the SO article shows that women and minorities can take extra offense where none was intended.
That's not the sole solution, no. But that's still part of the solution. If a woman or black man feels attacked for their gender/color even when anonymous... that means they've been conditioned to take offense by default and we need to figure out how to remove said conditioning as the default response.
My point is that getting negative feedback on an assignment, for example, is not necessarily sexual harassment. If the negative feedback specifically calls out gender, then yes, but I'm afraid a lot of these cases are just women being offended that they got negative feedback even if they would have gotten the same feedback had the assignment been submitted anonymously. Then again, I haven't read the publication.
"So and so helped me fix a hard problem"
"Isn't that just [problem category] 101?"
So it's unspecified in terms of the standard, but specified by the implementation
I hate this "empowering users" philosophy of the EU. It's reminiscent of "right to be forgotten" type regulation where EU believes users should be in control of "their" data, when it reality it isn't "theirs" to begin with. Once data is "public" you can't ever "erase" it because it's not "yours". I'm sorry, if you shoplift in my store (online or no), I'm keeping track of you no matter how much you demand that I erase "your" information.
