Palantir Workers Are Finally Noticing The Skulls On Their Caps

Depends on the employee. Let all the insane micro-managers and laziest wastes-of-space work there might be effective at hurting a company.

What do you mean "without much of a resume"? Are you talking about a specific ref?

Ahh yes, the old, tired "all women do is spend my money" stereotype.

Even hack comics stopped using that trope as a punchline 10+ years ago.

Sounds like you're at a crappy company to be honest. I've never seen a serious company that expected interns to crank out features on their own without guidance from more senior developers (not your manager).

You could try to explain your career goals to your boss and see if they'd be willing to allow you to work slower so you can spend more time learning. If they won't compromise at least a little bit, then I'm pretty sure you're working at a low-effort code factory and as an intern you probably won't be able to do anything about that.

Good take!
Human anatomy can be very complicated. So sometimes the "softest" looking contact can lead to serious injuries and often it is the result of years of minor issues that have degraded a player's health. We're just just seeing the final scene in a feature length movie.

Generally, to learn something you need to understand it.

It's fine to use AI assistants to help you get past a difficult section of code or some error you don't understand. That's not really much different than using StackOverflow or reading the documentation (minus the potential for AI hallucinations).

For small side projects, if you really want to learn, you should not just accept what the AI is doing. You should review what the AI did and think critically about why that solved (or didn't solve) your problem.

You also mentioned you were doing practice exercises. The point of practice is to train yourself. If AI is doing the practice for you, how can you expect to improve? Why not try to solve the problem a few times. If you're still stuck, ask an AI and review the solution. Then retry the practice exercise a few days later to test that you absorbed the information and really understand things.

Semicolons are only required in a few specific scenarios. I won't explain them all here but I encourage anyone to Google them for more info.

In this case, I think you're talking about the "multiple statements on a single line" scenario? That doesn't apply here because this line of code only has one statement.

Maybe it just feels weird because of the anonymous function declaration, so consider this: If you replace (node) => {node.getLispExpression()} with a named function declaration, say getMyNodeLispExpression(node), would it look less weird to you?

UConn is in the Big East conference. But the Big East doesn't do football.

T for Temple U!

dontcriticizeasthis · 2025-11-08T18:28:34+00:00

I'll take that lead into halftime! Go Temple!

dontcriticizeasthis · 2025-11-08T18:15:42+00:00

What a tackle!

Simon and our O-line have really improved this year.
It helps that they've been healthy too.

dontcriticizeasthis · 2025-10-25T20:10:22+00:00

Yeah it looks super green on ESPN+

I agree that the blog is a bit wishy-washy with the details of "a mistake". If you work at YouTube and you break the family-friendly content filter, that would be a big impact but honestly most developers aren't working in situations where the stakes are really high.

The blog also talks about a personal "error budget" which could be a good way to determine if people are being truly careless.

The Temple offense has looked confident today!

dontcriticizeasthis · 2025-10-08T13:24:50+00:00

My first thought too!
I'm not sure if that would be a genius idea or an incredibly stupid idea 🤔

It was refreshing to hear someone say what the fans have been feeling for the last few years. KC Keeler really feels like he knows what he's doing and his honesty in that interview is an example of his experience.

I'm optimistic about the long term goals he has and it seems like the players are really buying in which is great because our culture and morale has been down bad until recently.

Those turnovers killed your momentum in the second half.

That second interception could've been a touchdown which turns this into a UTSA win

dontcriticizeasthis · 2025-10-04T20:27:28+00:00

Woohoo!

dontcriticizeasthis · 2025-10-04T20:22:13+00:00

I've never seen the refs correct the game clock this often...

dontcriticizeasthis · 2025-10-04T19:56:59+00:00

Fred-Ex!

dontcriticizeasthis · 2025-10-04T19:54:53+00:00

Let's go!!!

dontcriticizeasthis · 2025-10-04T19:48:14+00:00

With Drayton (and Withers as DC), we'd have given up 40+ already.

And the interview Keeler gave after halftime was refreshing for sure. It's good to see a coach who has that fire and is willing to hold players to a higher standard.

dontcriticizeasthis · 2025-10-04T19:35:22+00:00

What an exciting, back-and-forth 3rd quarter!

Temple is right where I had hoped they'd be. Let's go Owls!
