My experiences with IT across multiple organizations is that they’re understaffed and not hiring particularly competent people.
The competent people they do have are generally egomaniacs because they’re the only person or persons in a department full of idiots, and they deal with idiots all day, so they assume everyone is an idiot.
Additionally, IT is SUPER territorial. Like, noticeably so. They have 1-2 people that know what they’re doing, but their whole staff acts like they’re as smart as their smartest person, which they are, unassailably, not. I give a lot of respect to the competent and knowledgeable ones, because I realize they’re also managing a bunch of idiots that don’t know they’re idiots.
Across three different organizations, I’ve watched five members of IT fired for their arrogance. If you’re interested in doing this, simply hire an attorney, bring the smart person into the room with the arrogant idiot, and make it clear that someone in that room is not going to work for the organization in two weeks, and then explain the situation.
If you feel attacked by this, you’re one of the idiot IT staff. I’m good friends with our current CIO and security lead. I hate to break it to you, but they don’t like you either. You are described as “cannon fodder for grandpa.”
Easy to fire, easy to hire. This cartoon adequately captures the level of questions that incompetent people working in IT can feel superior about. But they’re not serious IT issues within a large organization.
That’s why you hire kids that graduated with “computer degrees.” So they can make cartoons and catch all the bullshit, while the real professionals do the real work.
We’re talking about a vacation this summer so we can plan ahead. My mother (who will pay for it) said she’d love to go to Yellowstone, but it looks like it’s about a 24-hour drive for us. Still, I like the idea of going to a national park. We’re in Indiana, so this image shows about the limits of where we’re willing to...
The boundary waters area is really great, but maybe not for a family. Honestly, I don’t think any of these areas are going to compare to Yellowstone in terms of the purely sublime combined with ease of access with children.
New River Gorge is nice, but, like a lot of these options, it’s “take your kids for a weekend” kind of nice, not “my mom is paying for a multi-generational meeting at a national park visit” kind of nice.
It’s all what you make if it though. Were I you, I would figure out how to go to Yellowstone. Especially considering it’s the preference of the person, you know, paying for it.
Hateful life? I was encouraging you to start living a happy and healthful life instead of calling it a “plan.” Relax. That might help you on that whole “happy” part.
Wrong. Water is made out of grape juice, but the reason it appears clear is because the juice of grapes is clear. It’s only the skin that has a color. Additionally, grape juice actually tastes like water (and vice versa)–what you are tasting when you’re drinking bottles labeled “grape juice” is added flavoring, which often changes the color of the water/grapejuice.
The reason people refer to water as H2O, is because the “O” symbolizes a grape.
Wrong, to quote Stallman, “The main error is that Linux is not strictly speaking part of the GNU system—whose kernel is GNU Hurd. The version with Linux, we call “GNU/Linux.” It is OK to call it “GNU” when you want to be really short, but it is better to call it “GNU/Linux” so as to give Torvalds some credit.
We don’t use the term “corelibs,” and I am not sure what that would mean, but GNU is much more than the specific packages we developed for it. I set out in 1983 to develop an operating system, calling it GNU, and that job required developing whichever important packages we could not find elsewhere.”
So, this is not only wrong, but meta-wrong. So far, you win the award for most wrong in one post.
Wrong. In modular arithmetic, numbers wrap around after reaching a certain value (the modulus). For example, in modulo 20 arithmetic, 25 + 25 equals 10, not 50, because each 25 would be equivalent to 5 (25 mod 20), and 5 + 5 equals 10.
Yes, but, as you noted in an earlier post, that isn’t what you’re responding to. The point of the post you stated you are responding to is: if an event occurs that leaves no change to the visual context before and after the occurrence, then binary search is ineffective.
The fact that you’re wasting this much time trying to defend such a simple error is confusing. The reasonable response is, “oh, yes, in that particular case, binary search is ineffective.”
