- Comment on Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms? 3 hours ago:
Structured data vs. unstructured data. The form is structured data and it can be manipulated easily and reliably with code. With unstructured data it’s a lot of guesswork and chance.
Also sometimes HR can’t use the resume because the name could reveal gender or ethnicity and they need to blind that. And it’s not trivial to manipulate any part of the resume to do that masking.
- Comment on Why? 18 hours ago:
I can see how they got there from the implementation side. There’s a library they used for their site, maybe a CMS, where all those choices are just a click away. But for email they have to get their hands on an SMTP server. And that takes non-zero effort.

- Comment on How do you explain protocol to a 5 year old ? 1 week ago:
It’s the rules for how we interact. Like shake hands and introduce yourself. Many protocols literally have “handshake” stages.
I also like as an example the rule of not facing your back to the king/queen.
The is the original meaning of the word.

There was a recent article detailing how if you put a lot of miles on your ebike you’ll need to replace the battery and it’s surprisingly expensive.
But I agree with the other downvoters that you can’t just say “but bad thing” you have to put them into perspective. And your parent comment didn’t claim ebikes are perfect or even good. Just that they literally don’t use gas.

If you recycle it it’s not very bad. It’s probably already made from a good amount of recycled content. Or if not, there’s plenty of demand for it for boxes and packaging.

You may have Gilbert Syndrome. Something like 10% of the population has it and it gives you more bilirubin in your sweat which causes this.
- Comment on WTF is this??? 5 weeks ago:
My car has “BMW style” turn signals. When you flip them they don’t move to a different position. They always just flick back. And they try to just always reset themselves on both turns and lane changes. I’ve mostly gotten used to them but occasionally you get into this infuriating loop where if you change your mind about a turn or lane change and you go to flick it in the opposite direction to reset it, it thinks you want to turn in that direction. And then you do it again in the original direction trying to fix that.
Anyway it’s hella annoying. After three model years with this feature they reverted it back to the normal way. There’s an aftermarket wiring harness you can buy to retrofit your car with the older stalks.
My point is I have a little sympathy for BMW drivers since they have these stupid turn signals and it’s probably so entrenched in their loyal customers they can’t change it.
- Comment on Is it weird that I cringe whenever someone calls my name and I avoid using peoples names when talking to them? 5 weeks ago:
I think using people’s names is an old life hack from “How to win friends and influence people”. Most people respond well to it.
It’s also a nice thing in a group where some people might not know or might have forgotten other people’s names. Then they don’t have to ask.
