Some places are inextricably tied to SimuLink due to how long it was around before any of the alternatives.

Give me links so I can send them to my maga parents

Python is Spanish; a ton of people learned a bit in school and never picked it back up again. Places that speak it natively all have their own conventions because, even though the native languages were replaced by colonizers, a lot of the native languages patterns remained in place. Most places that speak it are super welcoming and stoked that you’re trying to learn.

Assembly is proto-indo-european

A 172 is the plane you train to get a beginner license in. 90-120mph max.

It’s the recommended approach to replace WCF which was deprecated after .NET framework 4.8. My company is just now getting around to ripping out all their WCF stuff and putting in gRPC. REST interfaces were always a non-starter because of how “heavyweight” they were for our use case (data collection from industrial devices which are themselves data collectors).

As a mechanical engineer who spent multiple thousands of hours using SolidWorks, trying to use FreeCAD felt like flying a Cessna 172 after getting used to a Citation jet.

In my experience Perl is a write-only language. Coming in behind someone else and fixing or writing their code is often slower than just rewriting it

I’ve written a million lines of powershell in the past few years for stupid business reasons. I fucking hate the language and I don’t see why anyone would write anything serious in it

A fairly minor and shitty law that influences all public speech about other people

What’s the efficiency for turning jet fuel into mechanical work? I’d suspect the efficiency is somewhere around 45% for liquid fuel where it’s nearly 100% for electric. So you’re really trying to reach the equivalent of 5500 Wh/kg.

Mine is 9-4 some days. I do automated QA for an enterprise application. Management budgets 2 hours a day for lunch and overhead (meetings, emails, chatting, etc.) for each employee. If I don’t hit that then I can get off early.

Nah, just zig zag away from where you plugged it in and it’s never a problem.

I mowed my grass with a corded mower for a decade until the motor bearing finally disintegrated. Cost me $100 and one blade replacement. No small gas engine was ever that reliable for me

I mean, the first person to ever play NES Tetris long enough to make it crash is like 13 right now.

A heartfelt, handwritten thank-you letter telling them they’re a great teacher and how they positively impacted your life.

As an American, how do I sign up to work in Germany? Practically speaking, not just the “official” way.

The original discoverer of the element spelled it “aluminum”. The British publisher that published his work changed the spelling. The rest of the world got the right version of the man’s work. The Brits are wrong.
