Fun fact python is not named after the snake. The original creator was actually just a fan of Monty Python. The language was named after the comedy group

Advice for all ages: commit one crime at a time. Your insurance lapsed from non-payment? Don't run a red light! Have a dead body in trunk? Know the speed limit and stay with in it!

Anyone who damages these cameras was actually at my Halloween party, they had 2 drinks and were dressed as a hamburger. They slept here and left the next morning.

There is a video where a real game dev was showing how bad a specific benchmark was. It was basically read arguments, get a random number, do a for loop 10,000 times, inside there do another for loop 10,000 times, do some equation with a modulo, put result in array, pick a number from array and print to screen.

The biggest time cost was the modulo as that's the hot path. He basically went through and typecast all the ints to double. He got 4x the speed. It went from almost 2 seconds to less than 0.5 second just on that change. This is mostly due to cpu and compiler now using simd instructions.

Small changes can have big impacts.

My response to this is always: if a homeless person with no money or credentials wearing their only set of clothes with no friends or connections unable to speak the local language and requiring the boss to risk legal fines asks for a job and the boss chooses them over you.. What does that say about you?

I was in the corporate medical industry. The only things that got handled at all in a efficient time was those required by law. Like if there was a incident in the field we had to have an initial report within a week and a corrective action within 30 days. Preventive actions were longer term, didn't have a deadline so it was not uncommon for it to go on for a year or more.

I can't give a real example for legal reason but let's a product was sold which gave electrical shocks to a patient. Within a week we had to tell the fda the cause was a faulty resistor. Within 30 days we had to correct our system, for example assign a person to test that resistor with a dmm on every device. Easy enough, give the operator who installs the resistor a dmm, update the instructions to say to measure that resistor and give a 5 minute training to said operator telling them that they have to measure it. Easy to do in 30 days and required. Now really the root cause was we didn't test for that in our multiple automated tests. The preventive solution would be update the automated testing software to check that. That has no time limit. It now becomes low priority. We did have to give an estimated time line, say within 2 years. By the time that deadline approaches most people who originally said that have left the company and new people are unaware. They submit an extension, and it's low priority again. Another 2 years go by. Now the high priority is the next product release. The old product will be discontinued so no one cares. So for 4 years and possibly several more years after it the company pays a person to manually measure a resistor. The automated test would eliminate this need, be more reliable, have documented results but wasn't implemented because it's low priority since there's no legally obligated time line.

I'll just put this fire over here with the other fire...

So many job applications suck...i tried to fill out one with a required "social media link" but didn't have any place to enter one. It had "LinkedIn url" and the next line was a text box, it had "github url" and the next line was a text box, it had "social media link" and the next line was just a submit button... There was literally no box to enter a social media url. I tried chrome, Firefox and Vivaldi because the job seemed good with good pay but literally impossible to apply to.

Nevermind I don't know why you need LinkedIn, github, and social media links to evaluate me as an employee but atleast give me a way to enter the data you want.

One suggestion if you do this type of thing regularly. Go to the pharmacy and pick up one of those pill planning boxes. They are perfect for placing tiny screws in and you can separate them in order you removed them (one step per box) and then when you put it back together just use the screws in reverse order.

I hired a exorcist but then my credit card got declined... I got reposessed.

If anyone doesn't know the original song is from Broadway, show is avenue q... I think its the same vocals just the images changed to wow.
