What were soldiers doing in hospitals and schools? It’s almost like they wanted to get themselves blown up!

Oh, my bad. Wrong place. I got it confused with this one:

“A Major Massacre” in Jabaliya; Israeli Forces Raid Kamal Adwan Hospital in Northern Gaza, Killing Patients

Or maybe it was this one:

Israel strike on Gaza school-turned-shelter kills 17, hospital says

Damn, maybe it was this one:

Israeli attack closes last functioning hospital in north Gaza

Found it! I was thinking of this one:

Israeli shelling of Gaza school kills at least 22

Well, it’s at least one of those.

Heh, don’t take my perspective as being supportive of it.

We have let the world know there are no rules

Quite the opposite. The US is demonstrating that it is above any international law and will do what it wants regardless of any standing agreements. It’s demonstrating that the only rules that matter are the ones it makes. Israel is our dog on our leash and we’re letting it bite someone. But if anyone hurts our dog, we’ll go full John Wick on their country. That’s why Israel bombs schools and hospitals without warning and Iran gives a few days notice before they attack.

It makes for a more defensible argument. No sane person is going to argue that a 4 year old child is an enemy combatant. But a 20 year old male? It’s easy to argue they could have been an enemy combatant and so maybe the numbers are inflated. Saying 1000 people can be interpreted as 999 enemies and only 1 civilian casualty. Saying 1000 women and children is usually interpreted as 1000 innocent lives lost.

Is there a “real” or primary manufacturer? I looked it up and it looks cool, but it’s an endless sea of knockoffs with very different prices.

Exactly. If Hamas actually did line them up and executed them, that would be the headline. But instead nobody is reporting a single fact about their circumstances other than “dead’”. The IDF posts tiktoks of them raping prisoners and cooking with stolen food for Palestinians; they have zero credibility.

How were they killed? I haven’t seen any sources reporting on the cause of death. Were they shot and executed? Or was it Israel bombing the fuck out of the tunnels causing them to die from the tunnel collapsing in on them?

IIRC the problem was the ambient temp that deep being too hot causing mechanical failures. It’s hard to dispose of waste heat when you have to pump it miles away.

JavaScript and TypeScript are separated? Umm, ok.

Oh, you contributed to the kernel? Name every commit SHA.

They were just trying to protect everyone from dihydrogen monoxide poisoning. Bibi saw a Facebook post about its dangers.

Erectile Dysfunction?

A doctor of musical theory is still entitled Dr.

I usually go by “fuck you”. Like someone yells out of their cube “who’s goddamn code is this?!?! Ah, fuck you”

Also codemancer

We solve that problem using naming conventions. Branch names must start with the issue key (we use Jira). You don’t do anything in that branch that’s not part of that issue. If you do, you must prefix the commit message with the issue key that it goes with. The commit itself identifies what changed. The Jira issue provides all the backstory and links to any supporting materials (design docs, support tickets, etc). I have to do a lot of git archeology in my role, and this scheme regularly allows me to figure out why a code change was made years ago without ever talking to anyone.

Despite incessant reassurance from recruiting that they have the best market data and we’re paying above average, I have reasons to suspect that’s not the truth. One of them being we’re hemorrhaging mid-grade talent and focusing on hiring backfills in Ireland and Hungary for much lower salaries. It almost seems like they’re trying to offshore the dev group via attrition to work around having to do layoffs…

As someone in the US, 40 hours per week is the minimum. Recognition for “being a hard worker” has required 60+ hours at some places I’ve worked. This is for a fixed salary and no overtime pay, mind you. Then you’re usually on an on call rotation every few weeks where you may have to work off-hours if something comes up. That’s additional unpaid hours. My current company pays $80,000 USD for new college grad software developers.

US holidays are 8-10 days, and junior devs usually start with 5-10 days of vacation. Health insurance costs at least several hundred a month (your employer also pays about 3x more than you towards your insurance premium as a benefit).

I was working on that yesterday. 😂 Building a feature to resolve variables in a serverless config file to custom sources.

I’ll often cludge something together just to make it work but I don’t feel like I made any progress

That’s a good first step! I’ve been programming for ~25 years and that’s still usually where I start. Get a little code that compiles and produces some kind of output or tracing. Then compare the output to your requirements and tweak the code to get it closer to the right behavior. Run it and repeat till it’s doing what you want. Do this cycle with small changes, like a handful of lines or a short function, not 20 mins of coding at a time.

Test-driven development can also help with breaking down tasks. It takes a good amount of practice to learn the right patterns, but it’s an approach that forces you to work with small narrowly scoped tasks. Then you chain those testable tasks together to create more complex behaviors to create robust testable code.

Experience takes time. Junior developers frequently ask me after I’ve helped them “but how did you just know how to do that? I’ve been trying to solve that for an hour and you did it in 10 seconds!!” The answer is because I’ve solved that exact problem before. More than a few times.
