Jargon is everywhere but office jargon is its own sub genre.

For office jargon, it's maybe not a practical matter, but I could see a friend being a little put off by someone speaking in office jargon to them. Office jargon is sort of impersonal by design

Is "solves" used like that in the wild? Haven't heard that one.

This isn't meant to be taken too literally or objectively, but I view YAGNI as almost a meta principle with respect to the other popular ones. It's like an admission that you won't always get them right, so in the words of Bukowski, "don't try".

What's the background on doing a soft layoff (or w/e) and hiring at the same time? Many of us have seen one of these close-up, just wondering what the case is here.

I suppose people might be wondering what happens when this small number of big players finish their buildouts.

Funny comment about it being dark in Michigan. My feeling here in the summer is like, will the sun ever set (somewhat light out until almost 10pm depending on location)? I know what you mean, of course.

> I had two EE roommates in college, their exams were HARD, but their home-projects were easy compared to CS (less projects overall as well).

Maybe that's just a result of EE take-home projects being less practical? Hold on, let me walk on over to my wire bonding station ...

In my applied EM class in college, we had a year-end project in which we built an antenna of a specified type (e.g., helical, corner reflector, etc ... ). The final exam was essentially a do or die transmitter hunt. We had a lot of open lab time to do it. But that project was an exception, not the norm.

Can you explain the cuda-less stack a little more or provide a source?

I thought the number in the title seemed low, but this makes it seem closer

I agree.

I'm not quite so shy, but on that same side of the spectrum for sure. The deal with me these days is that I've got a couple kids; one thing that comes along with that is quite a bit of social interaction with people you're not 100 percent at ease with. So, that energy - the same type id use to do some small talking with the neighbors - is almost always on E for me.

calc 2 was the hardest for me, and anecdotally many others. hang in there!

They can hear the tinnitus, but not real sounds at that freq.

IANAD, is there any kind of "gain correction" theory for tinnitus? ie, the brain notices your ear can't hear this frequency very well, so it pumps up the volume ... maybe too much.

That would fit this data point, at least.

Weirdly, maybe not so different than when a hearing aid starts ringing.

I can do more than 5 if I'm able to maintain discipline and work at a normal pace.

Normally though, time pressure or "get shit done" pressure gets the better of me, and my brain goes into turbo mode. After about 30 minutes of that, the rest of the day is more or less standby mode

> So many engineers move to management, yet want to remain "hands on", and won't let go. It's obnoxious and frustrating, when they inevitably have their heads spinning from meeting after meeting, and no time remaining, but still insist on trying to help.

Oh god, I hate this. The thing that happens most often in my experience is they have time to do the "fun parts" of something, and then leave others with all the testing, paperwork, bug fixing, etc, to make their update into something "real".

I've definitely spent some time thinking about it, or did in college anyway.

There's a lot going on with the typical bike population on a college campus.

A fair amount of bikes get stolen on the way home from a party or whatever, and left in a shrubbery or whatever. These bikes tend to get picked up by the school and sold at the reuse store. Some bikes have probably done that loop more than once, especially because these bikes are often not so great, and the line between "stolen" and "community" blurs a bit.

Unregistered/expired bikes also end up in the reuse store, which is also pretty common.
