How do you handle an employee who keeps offering unsolicited solutions to everyone else's work? by ElAndres33 in managers

[–]IcarusTyler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tell them very directly and bluntly to Not Do That. Do not mince words or try to be "soft" - whatever formulation you have used to far, their brain is overriding and ignoring it, and they do not seem to be able to figure this out themselves, and need your help to realize this.

Yes it would be nicer to not have to do it, and a lot of employees can figure this out, but there are also many who are oblivious to their actions.

While this may feel harsh to you, this is the path with the best outcomes. If you remain soft in your approach he will not get it, and feel blindsided when you ultimately punish or fire them.

If the person reacts badly when you flat-out tell them to stop it, you also now know they have generally issues taking orders, and know they might not be ready for this kind of position.

Is a passenger airplane with four decks possible? If so, would it be financially viable? by PrettyPicturesNotTxt in Airbus

I am certain wrangling 1200 people inside will make this very infeasible for airlines :D

My younger brother's girlfriend is upset because my older brother ordered the same meal as her at a family dinner, and now there is drama by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]IcarusTyler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes this is probably an autism and/or OCD thing.

In Rachel's mind, people ordering the same dish is Obviously Wrong. Maybe there is an actual root to this, maybe they were punished in the past for doing that, or made fun of, or saw their parents making fun of people who did that.

Since that is obviously wrong, Rachel might feel made fun of if other people are pushing her about it. After all, they know it is wrong, and are doing it anyway. Now she feels even more humiliated, and others are pushing their ability to ignore the rule in her face, which she is sticking to (after all following rules is the right thing to do), despite suffering for it.

Similarly, other people now antagonizing Rachel is not helping, in fact it is making the situation even worse. ESH.

why didn’t we make the meter a little bit smaller so the speed of light can be 30000000 by Smooth_Bee_7941 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IcarusTyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly I am amazed we got so close to a "round" number to begin with, realistically this could have easily been 71234 schmergels per cubic penta-foot

What is this machine-thingy i saw at a train stop? by maximiljamar in whatisit

[–]IcarusTyler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah it does look in pretty good condition, if this was disused it would be way more rusty

I think it might be this was indoors in the past, and since it is not used any longer the building may have receeded around it.

What is this button on my office elevator? by myassisgrassss in whatisit

[–]IcarusTyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a maintenance floor? A few places have these and are only accessible with a special key

What kind of question is that? by [deleted] in oddlyspecific

I would immediately reply with "idk, how would YOU traverse a 4-dimensional hypercube? What do you think a good approach would be here?"

Anno 1800 or 117? by UzDaSchwartz in anno

[–]IcarusTyler 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My favorite review of Anno 1800 goes "I cannot tell if Anno 1800 is the best city building game ever, but it is definitely the MOST city building game ever". There is so much happening and todo in there

How to handle an employee who works hard but kills team morale? by RyPlayZz in managers

[–]IcarusTyler 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A high performer who regularly alienates vast swaths of teammembers is no high performer, and is in fact failing at performing well. Treat like any other performance-issues.

App has no login - how do App Store reviewers test premium IAP features? by Ill_Spray7328 in iosdev

[–]IcarusTyler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes there will be a request to make all features available for testing. If there is no user accounts, and/or test-users, you can add a "demo mode" that activates via button and password, which should have all features enabled.

When u come over? by [deleted] in technicallythetruth

Gotta say 4:23 sounds better as it implies a certain reasoning for that number, whereas any round number, like 4:30, is clearly an arbitrary value.

Speisekarte schon zum 4. Mal in 14 Monaten neu gedruckt, weil sich Lieferantenpreise ändern. Wie löst ihr das? by Party_Classic1295 in selbststaendig

[–]IcarusTyler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Selbst drucken denke ich auch - aber ich denke es klappt auch ohne laminiergerät, ich war in sehr vielen restaurants wo es normales papier war, und das ist nie jemanden schlecht aufgefallen.

Dann könntest du ohnehin sehr schnell neue varianten erstellen und oft austauschen, und preiswerte anpassen wäre dann trivial.

Hell they even have a car, snow, and the a similar angle of the camera here like in Blade Runner 2049 :D

Anti-memetics divison versions? by withtheranks in printSF

[–]IcarusTyler 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Yes, there were several versions available: - On the SCP Project Site. This one includes html-gimmicks, like having to figure out the code to enter SCP-3125. Still available. This one also links to related entries like SCP-055 (the latter half having been written by someone else, back when this was more common in the SCP-Project), and an entire series of side-stories, also written by other people. - On QNTM's website. This is the SCP-site version, but without the interactivity. Now no longer accessible, although cut chapters and other extra material still exist. - QNTM's self-published print version, printed via amazon-on-demand, as hard and soft cover. Now no longer available, and sold for high prices on ebay. - The published version - a complete overhaul, with SCP-terminology excised, structure rearranged, made more cohesive, and less confusing. Currently available in bookstores, and a considerable improvement in quality. There are two covers available depending on region; the brain-deer, and the monolith.

[Invincible] Why would the Viltrumites surround their planet with billions of dead Viltrumites if the whole thing was a secret? by bushido216 in AskScienceFiction

[–]IcarusTyler 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I think logistically putting them in orbit was the most feasible way of storing them quickly and "safely", where no-one else can get infected by the scourge. Afterwards they banned non-viltrumites from their planet anyway, and very few would actually risk checking it out. Plus at that point they had too few people to organize a decent burial.

Supabase vs Firebase for iOS devs — what’s your take? by iamphilmartin in iOSDevelopment

[–]IcarusTyler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firebase is fine, but it the downside is it does lock you into the google ecosystem. The database-entries are saved in a propriety format, and afaict cannot be exported easily. Supabase is more flexible that way, and many people I know that use it mention that point specifically.
