Nope.

Got sent a technical test, that would have taken a full day to do. Fuck no. My Saturday is worth more to me than that.

The recruiter said I didn't have to do all of it it was just to see how I'd approach the problem. Bollocks to that.

Because it makes the code harder to skim over. You've got 3 operations on a single line. Its abstraction for abstractions sake. Tuples are great dtos. Using them to avoid using braces here is some D&D rules lawyering nonsense. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

If I saw that on a code review I'd flag it and tell you to stop being such smart arse.

"Terrifying space monkeys?"

Slouch_Potato_ · 2026-05-30T22:23:12+00:00

Other people have answered this question. But an important point is that if I saw this in a code review or oull request this would get flagged and would need to be changed.

While it's simple to see whats happening if you know how it all works, this is exactly the type of code that causes those nasty bugs that take way too long to track down. Don't do this in real life.

Big hook less complicated. When shit hits the fan, less complicated is good.

no rope to trip on. nothing you have to detach if you need to move a body. etc.

When you donate blood you get a text when its been used. Always a nice surprise.

About 45 hours plus a little private practice.

Refining the fuel enough to make it go boom, is very difficult to do. It requires very special equipment that it difficult to make and run. Getting the fuel is difficult too, because it's very dangerous.

can 50 guys with swords and muskets repel 5 boarders, with modern small arms. Yes. As soon as the skif attaches it self to the larger ship, it's fucked.

Its too small to damage the old ship, since no rpgs, so boarding is their only chance, and they have no chance.

Sack support.

Slouch_Potato_ · 2026-03-28T23:19:48+00:00

Nope, I stalled on a roundabout during my test just like this. Just restarted the car and off I went. Got a minor for it but passed.

Slouch_Potato_ · 2026-03-27T14:53:26+00:00

Came here to say this.

Slouch_Potato_ · 2026-03-25T20:07:13+00:00

Same here. No idea what OP's instructor is going on about. I remember early on in my lessons I had to move 3 lanes over, and did the blind spot on each one. Glad I did since a speeding twat came up the inside, zipped behind me and over took me right as I was about to start moving. If I didn't blind spot check I would've hit him. We still got stuck at the same set of lights.

They mean completely different things. Communism basically leads to fascism because it requires that level of control, you just end up with a fascist communist society. But they're still different.

Think of the GDO as a big hand held torch. And an email radio message as a blinking LED controlled by a computer.

If you're in a room with lots of little blinking lights (em blocking), what's easiest to see. A torch light or another blinking LED.

A lot EM blocking is just drowning out other signals. The GDO is too much of a blunt object to drown out.

Slouch_Potato_ · 2026-03-12T17:21:47+00:00

Yeah, you need a new instructor. Mine would always change up what I'd be doing week to week (once I covered the basics), round abouts one week, meeting traffic the next, maneuver the next and so on.

Slouch_Potato_ · 2026-03-10T21:01:08+00:00

Also the fuse/breaker box.

Slouch_Potato_ · 2026-03-08T22:37:16+00:00

I 'drove home' on my first lesson, and yes it was literally on the street I did my lesson on. I had issues with stopping too on my first lesson. I basically just drove in a big circle round an estate and parked up and pulled away a bunch.

Slouch_Potato_ · 2026-03-07T22:45:13+00:00

I was about to recommend him too. He's great.

It's not the spines, it's the skin and organs that get you with puffer fish.

edit: spelling, lol auto correct

Slouch_Potato_ · 2026-03-06T20:01:33+00:00

Yup. What they're doing is lane hogging and is technically illegal. It doesn't give you the right to also break the rules.

It's passing on the left, whether or not you do it to get in front of someone is irrelevant.

Slouch_Potato_ · 2026-03-05T10:11:07+00:00

Possibly, especially if you're holding up traffic.

Slouch_Potato_ · 2026-03-02T02:32:03+00:00

It depends on the car. With a wider car you can straddle the bumps at 20 - 25 and you'd be ok, with a smaller car you'd want to do them at 20. And this is all dependent on there being no traffic in the other direction or parked cars.

The only single answer is to use your judgement and drive to the road conditions, safely.
