On my hobby project, I've taken to leaving notes when a thought occurs to me that I don't want to pursue right away, in the form of `#error TODO maybe look into ...` (c++) Later I'm forced to at least look at the note. Otherwise they'd be lost forever.

Seconded. Wh entyping to another person more often than code at a text editor.

Transform. Or anything else with n before s. The s always happens first unless I'm thinking about it.

I'm loving my GMMK keyboard from Glorious Gaming. They're relatively new on the block but the concept of replaceable switches makes me think it'll be easier to maintain this one vs replacing the whole thing when just a few keys get sketchy. I mostly picked it because it comes in white and I have a transparent acrlic sheet above it to keep the cats off it, but between white kbd and desk, it also functiosn as a whiteboard while also letting me watch my fingers type.

LMFTFY You love the sound of vinyl? Pay $1k to make it sound like a cd instead! The "lower quality" sound is the point of vinyl.

Middle click opens a new tab on most links in every good browser.

I actually rather like the core pdf format. Like html, if it was made of linked lists and no <>s. And no documentation exists anywhere. There are tools that can (de)compress it, and then I edit them as text sometimes. It has variables and templates. It looks rather like a lot of js frameworks try to turn html into.

Maybe to remove the red banner, or better yet, provide the software free and accept donations like every other lib.

ftr, if it were up to me, I'd be making something new from scratch. But people are so impatient.

Unfortunately, interop needs office installed locally, and the product is to run in an azure web app box we can't install office on.

If not only are people reporting, but those who presumably review said reports do so without reading the context, "overzealous" is too nice a word.

The "you have to buy all this stuff first" scam only works when they insist on using a specific retailer/site (fake, that they own). A real major company really should buy you any equipment you need, especially if it's very specific. It's not, imho, even if it's legit you probably don't want to work for them. There are, of course, other potential scams. The usual first-day activities on a real job involve sending them your identifying documents and bank info for direct deposit, after all. I do not mind a business using gmail. Honestly it's really easy to make a "real" company domain name with email addresses on any cloud platform. It can cost <$100. So scammers can do it too without loosing their profit. My hobby startup uses gmail because I don't see a need to pay for an email service (I also do not have employees). Some companies enforce an absurd anti-spam system that makes it nearly impossible to communicate with external email accounts, so an HR person doing hiring might well have an external account. So yes, as others have said, find the company's contact info independently and contact them outside this other groups control and ask. Don't just check the names, either, as it's not hard for the scammer to find and assume the name of a legit hr person. Ask how they contact potential employees and if you're in the running.

What is this world coming to? Evaluation period of [aspose](https://products.aspose.com/pdf/net/) (pdf generator) not only has throws up an ugly red banner, but throws an error if you attempt to access the 5th or higher element of any collection. The company insists on paying for that over using latex. I'm out of words.

100% with you there. My laptop has the ability to switch that off in bios. Too bad bios resets itself every time it is turned off and not connected to its power cable (replacing the cr2032 did not fix that). As for usb charging my phone, well that's half the reason I had a powered usb hub in the first place :). Though now I mostly use the usb port on my ups.

> I've had only 1 "set" of SSDs from Crucial screw me over. I can one-up that. I've only lost 1 ssd (mushkin), and I maintain it was not the ssd's fault. Stay with me. Back around 2017, after about 3 years of not changing any significant hardware, one day I get an IO error when trying to boot. Booted a live dvd and confirmed the disk was visible but simply refused to mount. So I shut it down and switch off the psu (normally I leave them plugged in but hardware switch off at the psu so it can stay grounded). I go to remove the ssd and I notice the hdd next to it was vibrating like it's still on. So I figure the rocker is dead/shorted and unplug the pc and take my chances with the static. It's still vibrating. Thinking I'm hearing things, I take a multimeter to the nearest open molex and find the 5v and 12v pins both read as 5v. So I start unplugging everything. Turns out it was my powered usb hub. Whenever the machine was off, the little 5V 2A wall wart was holding the whole system 12v line at 5v, apparently too low for any fans or cpu or any indicators of something being powered other than the half-speed hdd spinning. So the ssd was routinely subjected to a 12v and 5v rail pair that had no difference in voltage. Now I'm suprised the ssd was the only thing to break after 3 years. I still use the hub by the way, just with the usb cable between it and the pc modified to no longer connect the red wire.

Sorry if this has already been said. I'm too lazy to read every response before posting. Could be physical damage to the motherboard. Some (older) motherboards have fuses specific to usb. I suspect that even mbs that do not have fuses would have north bridge regulation components specific to the ss usbs, so that could be damaged. As to what caused it, it could be that you have been red-lining it without knowing it, accidental static discharge, or perhaps a driver update caused a device to draw more power than before. Some devices may even increase their own power demand over time, like fans as dust builds up or the lube wears out. I accidentally destroyed one of my mb's ss usbs by sticking a thunderbolt into it, shorting some of the many pins. This is in spite of the usb standard being very clear that short-circuits between any pin pair should not cause damage.

> registered Professional Engineer qualified as a Petroleum Engineer, but under the rules... Since the other comments have established there is little to no relevant laws, it sounds like these rules are imposed by an independent organization of which you are a member and which holds your petroleum engineer status, no? In which case I have to ask, what's the penalty for breaking said rule? Is your P.E. status under threat? If not, then just add it and claim ignorance if anyone whines later on. But if so, I would say just stick with "software developer" until you find a company who actually cares about such a registration (such a company is probably the only place you will find a registered S.E.), and then bring up this nonsense in the interview, stressing however much experience you have in the field and that you are only lacking an endorsement, and perhaps after a brief probationary/training period, there you go you're registered. I say "interview" because I assume that the only reason you would care about such registration is to pass such a company's hr requirement. For the record, the term "engineer" to me means that someone who designs engines, which applies to a specific class of software: a black box with a well-defined interface that performs a specific function and can be added to any software that needs such a function. Database engine, physics engine, game engine, search engine etc. The idea is that the specific implementation is difficult to even break down into component parts, and so, the majority of developers who are creating software that use it will be unable or unwilling to break it open to fix or adapt it, so it must be held to a higher standard of adaptability and functionality. So I see the set "software engineers" as a subset of "software developer" that specialize in making libraries. Definition is in the eye of the beholder. I wouldn't stress over it. In fact, I specifically avoid the word engineer (among other fluff) on my resume, because I don't really want to work for someone who makes decisions based on keywords.

I take it your cpu is cooled by a fixed heatsink that blows the hot air around in the case. In addition to added ventilation, You may want to consider a closed-loop liquid cooler. Put it on the top, blowing up, and point all other case fans inward. The cpu's hot air will no longer heat up anything else, and the positive pressure will help cool everything else - even reducing hot air leaving the gpu through gaps in the shroud. There are some who say it is better to put the radiator on the front blowing inward, which means a cooler cpu but warmer inside compared to top-mount; but in your case especially, since your cpu is not overheating with a fixed heatsink while internal temperature is the problem, that tradeoff would be going the wrong way.
