In which ways it it more difficult? Presumably a high school certificate encompasses more than just writing long form essays? You presumably have to show an understanding in worked examples in maths, physics, chemistry, biology etc? I feel

I have one of those USB-C to HDMI + USB + SD-Card etc adapters on my laptop. It definitely looks like it's not doing the connector on the computer any good. At some point I'll 3d print a holder to take the strain off the connector

For the most part you would run out of things to code surely? Unless you really are a one man-band with a full understanding of the commercials, user feedback, support etc.

I'm not so sure it's a zero sum kind of thing. Yes, it seems likely that they are paying at least one full time employee to maintain their production environment. At the same time, AWS isn't without it's complications, t

Unless things have changed, if the return is only a single error value then it's possible to overlook capturing it.

It's certainly not difficult to understand Go error handling. But it does take up quite a bit of real-estate. I think more importantly for me, it's too easy to forget an error check. Having primitives which make error checking p

I only have a small amount of Go experience but in my humble opinion I don't think the lack of features is due to lack of time or funding. In fact it would have probably been much easier to say yes to a bunch of features than to contin

I presume the argument some middle management type makes is that exposing their security protocols makes it trivial for a fraudster to work around. Obviously this is a fallacy because any genuine fraudsters has the incentive to work this al

Swift was also a pretty well established interbank communication format which struck me as a strange choice of name. It legitimately confused me back in those days because I was working with swift messages every day.

Hehe, that reminds me of one of the Applied Science videos where he's trying to get a coating to adhere to glass by various extreme cleaning techniques. Afterwards he says something like "washing the dishes is basically just scrap

As someone with a colour vision deficiency I sometimes struggle with things like "this meat is in date but smells a bit iffy." I can't even begin to imagine how much more of a struggle being blind would be in the kitchen. I r

Their domestic voltage is also 100v. I've never thought about it before but it does seem like that might pose some challenges in electrifying their road transportation. 240v is considerably more useful when you are trying to suck down

It always amuses me when I watch a machining video from someone using metric. I've just been exposed to too many US machinists and am much more familiar with "thous" and "tenths" but baffled by microns and 0.02mms.

Yeah, definitely. The only real value I've had from going in is when we've got some kind of social event planned (over teams / zoom this sucks) and when we've gone in with the specific plan of talking about a how we can

I think one thing which wasn't obvious to me early on is that halving the number of office days doesn't half the requirements for desk space. In my experience people have a strong preference for going in on similar days, particula

Waiting on someone to join a meeting. Which, to be fair, since COVID is much less of an issue than it used to be, ±2 mins is pretty standard where as before waiting 10 minutes for everyone to find the correct physical room was pretty standa

I don't think you have to go back that far. Before electric (and maybe gas lighting) it would be hard to have people working outside of the hours of daylight. Sure you could do some stuff by candlelight but it wasn't cheap if I un

I particularly hate number pads on laptop keyboards because they put the touch pad right where my wrist occasionally touches as I type. I've used the old Mac 104 key aluminium wired keyboard for about 10 years now. I originally used it

In Europe the standard gross weight for a truck is 44t (97,000lbs). By contrast on American interstates the standard is 80,000lbs. Your sarcasm is unwarranted and just makes you look stupid when you are completely wrong.

I'm not even sure what you are trying to say. Perhaps try having a grown up discussion rather than trying to win internet points via your superior sarcastic smack downs. Retail stores certainly existed before the automobile. People wal
