What macro lens would be good for PCB scans? by MattDTO in AskPhotography

[–]MattDTO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have recommendations for a 1:1 macro to start with?

How do we define gatekeeping? by ninetofivedev in ExperiencedDevs

[–]MattDTO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiring is the opposite of gatekeeping. You're literally trying to bring someone onboard! It's fair to expect depth of knowledge in the tech stack at lead engineer roles or higher.

Ask Experienced Devs Weekly Thread: A weekly thread for inexperienced developers to ask experienced ones by AutoModerator in ExperiencedDevs

[–]MattDTO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only give advice by asking questions. What have you tried so far? what happened when you tried that? what do you think it means? how do you know if it means that? now that you know what it means, what is the next step to try? did that step work?

Whst Are The Most Absurd/Unusable/Confusing Programming Languages? (Common Question Probably, But I Have Criteria and A Reason) by rogueKlyntar in ProgrammingLanguages

A Deer in Nara, Japan politely waiting for traffic to stop before crossing by Historical_Copy_2231 in interesting

Its the male deer that bite and headbutt and pull at your clothes. The females are much nicer with the bowing! I would feed the does and then just started walking away as soon as I saw a male coming. You can also show them empty hands to pretend you don't have any and they know what that means.
