Ah, yes, what a nice way to be sliced into a thousand pieces at once if you trip. Even more fun if they get knocked out of their retention mode.
Is there a rubbing alcohol dispenser that sprays from the adjacent room after you go through? In case the first set of blood-curdling screams aren't loud enough.
Windows 11 is trash. Microsoft kept boasting it was "faster" than 10, but it is (unsurprisingly?) heavy in some weird areas, including a less snappy start menu, more telemetry, invasive integration with their software, you name it. Tried one machine in my collection to try it via an upgrade (a Microsoft Surface Pro 6), and the performance was so bad I ended up going back to Windows 10. Multi-second lag just to get to the program shortcuts is a really bad sign.
Unspoken here is the third option: navigate a series of untextured raised rectangular platforms littered with smaller rectangles that will fire you automatically if you touch them, designed by an 8 year old that got bored halfway through the engineering phase and wandered off to play Breakin Story 2.
The good news is that, for only 399 robux a month, you can get VIP membership, which includes a coil that allows you to immediately jump over the entire platform and land into a dated pile of two dimensional meme sprites they meant to clean up.
Oh boy, here we go (inhales):
Agile isn't that bad. People just believe they are more productive if they are "heads down" and not held accountable for what they write/do.
Functional programming isn't that great and doesn't solve all of the world's problems; it just pushes the issues with state to other parts of your design, and doesn't scale well in deeply nested solutions.
IDEs with proper code support (i.e. automatic structure analysis, autocomplete, etc.) are one of the best ways to deal with a large codebase that needs refactoring. Doing widescale refactors without one is asking for trouble. If you believe you don't need it, either your codebase is just that small (which is fine) or playing with fire.
Much of the advice out there on architecture and tooling isn't properly contextualized on the codebase, market, and team situation. If you believe you have the One True Architecture Solution, you are naive. (Ex. Microservices, large complex code pipelines, monorepos, etc.) Be especially wary of anything from FAANG engineering blogs unless you are also in another letter of FAANG.
There. Got it out of my system. Have fun dissecting it.
Sure, and it has nothing to do with the big ass vehicles being churned out due to loopholes in US law.

How broken are we talking here? Like, installation is kinda borked but technically works broken, or purge it with fire and salt the storage medium broken?
I have often busted my machine learning rig as it runs an ancient (but spacious VRAM) GPU. If I upgrade the drivers by accident, it takes an average of 1-2 days to make everything happy again.
I used to be more cavalier with my boot partitions; I am no stranger to a busy box for repairs. Best moments are when I used to try and adjust a live partition to make more room for the swap partition (or vice versa).
I have screwed up more Raspberry PI installations than I care to count. Usually by my own hand.
I have completely broken Xwindows multiple times due to drivers, trying to go between desktop environments, and most frequently trying to get video cards to work that aren't natively supported.
Breath on your fingers like you're trying to fog up glass. Immediately open by running your fingers in opposite directions along the edge, using the additional friction you created.
Yes. So much yes.
Sure, at least half of the FAANG use Linux. But they use a homegrown Linux flavor often maintained by an entire dedicated team. Not some random ass Ubuntu or Mint ISO you downloaded; these images are custom tailored to the workflows, dev needs, security needs, and even package management needs of the corporation. They often carry a complete profile template that integrates with whatever they've chosen to enforce authentication, have a lavish on-board remote monitoring system, you name it.
Rarely, TBH. Unless you're OK with being an absolute ass in some form or another.
Python should not be used for production environments, or anything facing the user directly. You are only inviting pain and suffering.
Linux can be just as much of a slow-ass OS. The real issue is all of the crap everyone wants to do in the browser now.
Just think: People having to get help because the job they quit three years ago keeps showing up in their dreams. What's worse is that they keep doing it, in control but unaware of the fact that they aren't getting paid, threatened by their in-dream former boss with being fired if the quota wasn't met.
Staying awake yet unemployed becomes one of their only escapes. They turn to stimulants to stay away from 'work' just a bit longer, just a little more peace.
But they then 'crash', falling asleep for almost a day, and starting a shift that feels like an eternity, Inception style.
Yes! It's the epitome of clarity. I gotta admit, when I hear the accent, I immediately assume the person is American.
Someone hasn't read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Silver_Bullet yet.
If abstraction was going to kill it, it would have died a thousand deaths already.
How much of that python is written in a shared codebase with multiple active contributors? When was the last time you refactored a module?
Tabs and spaces are invisible. Semicolons are not.
Welcome to V1 of a brand new hardware platform.
You could always go with higher quality brands, like Tesla. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Tesla-car-reliability-lower-than-the-average-in-a-study-debut-as-Lexus-takes-top-spot.693018.0.html
Just kidding, let's go with Apple's two year average. https://www.computerworld.com/article/2752739/more-than-a-quarter-of-iphones-break-within-2-years.html
One Note. I have yet to see anything from anyone come close. Works with all of my devices, allows me to use a stylus for designs on an infinite graph paper canvas, and damned good at note taking.
(That's the joke!)
Ever tried to read something in your dreams? Coding is basically 90% reading and 10% writing. Then you have to insure that shit compiles and runs.
I can't speak for you, but I don't think my brain has a valid edition of the Java Development Kit.
Not safe enough. Give it another decade; I'm sure they'll get around to ruining it by then.
Let's not forget HP making an "update" that effectively self-destructed the printer for use if you don't use their cartridges. Evem after the public outcry and back pedaling by the company with a new bios update, my printer still "manifested" the same problem they intentionally introduced.
Replaced parts, tried other things, then just said "forget it" and replaced it with a more expensive color laser from a competitor. Happiness and reliable printing ensued.
Load bearing whitespace. Damn, I love that phrase.
Also, if you have to have agreement on the tabs or spaces argument in your codebase in order to get it to compile, you have already lost.
The mark of a true master.
This is the real answer to this question. Not just an invention to unfairly evaluate folks (and charge them originally to see it!), but nothing more than a "how much we can fleece you for" score that has become so widely embraced you can't ignore it.
I can't speak for your managers, but my past managers didn't need Agile to f things up. They can do that with anything!
The nuances of Go syntax requirements are stupid at times, but I am shocked at how much it helps readability.
Ouch! Red flag. Sucks to get rejected, but maybe you dodged a bullet.

You know, I wish it wasn't. Much of Amazon was on a version of Perl for years (and may still be) for almost all of their front end hosting. Facebook has transformed PHP into Hack (which is better for types, though technically not strongly typed), strongly suggesting they were running PHP until 2014. Let's not forget what WordPress is still in PHP too.
Well, let's at least keep tabs on it.
I don't doubt you cleaned up it up well. But you are the exception rather than the rule for experiencing Windows 11.
The absolute shitfest that is the incessant integration with Bing and other online only tech is the biggest problem. If you have muscle memory like I do to start button + type keyword for a program + enter, it is unbearably slow to respond at times for the search to catch up. Or my new favorite, getting ready to hit enter, only to have it change the current selection right before.
And this is to say nothing of the critical settings you can no longer directly control or are just broken. Want to change the power profile of your laptop? Buried. Want to get an estimate on your battery time remaining? Better open the registry. Want to switch your background? Well, roll the dice on that high resolution PNG you just created; unlike 10, 11 fails on some backgrounds of certain filetypes if they're over a certain size (try a detailed PNG over 3000x4000). Just want a plain old Documents directory that isn't integrated with OneDrive? Happy hunting; turning it off ain't enough anymore.
Which goes swell, until you realize that you are instead dealing with an ever complex and gnawing realization you can barely quantify as existential dread in light of the remarkably complex yet dangerous capabilities found in every human present and yet to be conceived on this suddenly constricting mortal plane, exceeded only by the sheer number of permutations which you generously call 'best case scenarios' that result in an irrevocable destructive spiral on the fragile biome only loosely labeled by you as "third rock from the sun".
Zone of the Enders had a touching anime series about a widowed space truck driver whom stumbles upon a sentient orbital frame which he considers his surrogate daughter as he attempts to become a better father and reconnect with his grown kids, amidst an inter-system civil war.
And I'm kinda sure it's cannon.
No, I am not making this up.
Hey, as an American I found that quite...ah, accurate.
It does vary by which part of the states you get someone from, but yes, apparently we get quite loud (if only to speak over our abundant amounts of cars and gunfire). And is charming as it can be to some, the variations in accents you find on the south and eastern areas in particular can get old quick.
I can't put my finger on it, but I think there's been an uptick also in posts purely in the form of increasing engagement. Safe 'bets' on getting responses (i.e. ++ to AskReddit), remarkably bland headlines, and just shit that reminds me of controversy of the "jumpstart" of automated bots they used in the earlier days.
