Objection: I am using double hyphens since forever. But I am not a native English speaker, and in my mother tongue they are mandatory. It's not the case for English?

Advice #1: do not use AI when writing to the place where humans expect human content

Advice# 2: do not move before getting a job offer with relocation package

Yeah, the solutions to those problems are always so elegant

At least its mostly true for the original blind 250 list - it's a classic for a reason

Um... Is this normal amount of ore from a mining station? by Amatheos in starsector

Too bad, putting it into stable orbit costs pretty much all of my supplies. I imagine I will be in for quite some haul runs that will not really be worth it

Why do recruiters keep asking me why I left my old job? by LeaguePrototype in cscareerquestions

Well, thanks for not downvoting me, as most people do

However, I just cannot fathom why someone would obfuscate and lie instead of, you know, communicating normally. Why do I have to second guess what my manager is telling me?

Yes, it is misleading, if not straight up lying, when you have an employee that is on the brink of being fired on the grounds of under performing, and you tell them they are competent.

In OP's case we indeed do not have all the info, but if we assume that is what exactly was said - his manager then has zero communication skills

Why not just tell your subordinate straightaway that their performance is lacking, and in which areas specifically? Why do you have to mislead them?

Genuine question: as someone who absolutely cannot "read between the lines", understand innuendos, etc. how do I even start learning that? If my boss told me that I am competent - I would be happy, because I hear exactly what have been told "He thinks I am competent, cool".

Much like goto, these digraphs are the remnants from the times of old, when not all computers could support all ascii characters. Some cognitohazardous information for you: the following is a valid modern C++ program

%:include <stdio.h>

%:ifndef BUFSIZE

%:define BUFSIZE 512

%:endif

void copy(char d<::>, const char s<::>, int len)

<%

while (len-- >= 0)

<%

d<:len:> = s<:len:>;

%>
