Taiwan is important culturally to China for history reasons. But it's much important financially and technoly wise due to tsmc. That was the true point of the chips act so us technology wouldn't be so reliant of Taiwan but I doubt Trump understands that.

At one point in my past I was the "stinky coworker". I wore deodorant, I showered daily, I washed my clothes after every wearing. My boss did have THAT conversation with me, and started using cologne to cover it. Don't think it fixed it but it covered it enough that I kept the job for a bit.

Eventually my mother, who I was living with, bought a new washer / dryer. My stinkiness factor went to effectively nothing. I'm pretty sure there was some mold/bacteria/whatever in the old washer that was causing the stink.

It may not be the stinky persons fault, and they may not even know what's causing it.

I say you're wrong. If in dacade we are stilling complaining about the same dev, then we have failed to teach. In a decade that junior dev should be a senior and probably better than me. If they are still junior either they don't have the ability to progress or I failed them. Most likely I failed them.....m

What kind of hell do you work in? You're boss deducts your wage for crying? If I had something happen while at work and started crying my boss would probably tell me to take the rest of the day off with pay and to let him/her know of I needed anything else.

I'm in Texas in the USA... Probably one of the most anti-employee places to work and still get this... Is your boss literally Satan?

Before anyone gets angry.... Remember race doesn't matter. If he did it(he probably did but innocent till proven guilty) , it's a bad thing and he should be punished by the law. The fact that he is Afghan doesn't matter,

People are good, people are are bad. Both are true regardless of their place of birth.

No hate, just making a stupid joke

One thing to look into is their car insurance. It dropped my rate by $100 a year which was more then the cost of membership.

Fun fact about relative speeds though if you can drive at 1/5 of the speed of light you should never get a ticket for running a red light as all red light will be green due to the doppler effect. That said the speeding ticket you'll get...

Well, were you acting like a crybaby?

 

I know there choice of distro is really meaningless as you can install almost any program on almost any distro. But I have been playing with kali which is for security people and pen testers. Is there a similar distro for programmers? Like a few ides installed some profiling tools some virtual environment tools etc?

 

They gotta go fast!

 
 

Have the same story but from two different perspectives!

 

I don't know why this is a thing but if I tap the back of my pixel 6 three times in rapid succession it begins to play my audio book on audible.

From what I can tell audible has to be open but doesn't need to be the app on the screen(for example I can start and stop it while typing this post). Also the phone has to be "on" (meaning the screen is displaying but doesn't need to be unlocked.

Is this just my phone or dies it happen on other people's phone too?
