It occurs to me that the solution might be to start referring to men as “wermen” again, and revert “men” to it’s gender neutral roots. That also means we can have a bunch of other prefixes for other genders.

Languages are fun.

Trolling is a art.

This. Check out the “Psychological horror” tag for some excellent examples of trolltagging.

In high school, me and my fellow outcast friends made our own slang. The idea what to make it so mind numbingly cringe that even using our slang to mock us would be social suicide for the cool kids. I don’t know if that last part worked, but we were pretty damn cringe.

I’d give examples, but it’s all in Norwegian, and incredibly cringe.

For me, a good interview is a dialogue where the company representative shows me as much about the company as I do about me as a candidate. Take-home tasks are okay, I guess, but I suspect they might balk at me requesting they handle a mock HR issue, or whatever, for me!

That is a Seven Nation Army.

In a 1000 years, the robots that take over after us will think this is really funny.

Yeah, that’s my reading as well.

If you’re optimizing that hard you should probably sort the data first anyway, but yeah, sometimes it’s absolutely called for. Not that I’ve actually needed that in my professional career, but then again I’ve never worked close enough to metal for it to actually matter.

That said, all of these are implemented as functions, so they’re already costing the function call anyway…

This is why I think school and interviews are like a whole different universe from the one where actual work gets done.
