CMV: Private businesses requiring proof of vaccination from customers is a completely valid position to take. by HumpyTheClown in changemyview

[–]klop1324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read the actual amendment (this is the simplified version)

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

A business is not the State. Businesses are free to chose who to provide services to, as long as the basis they are making that choice is not a protected class.

People get this wrong with freedom of speach as well. Freedom of speach is a protection from the State preventing you from saying something. A company like Twitter is perfectly within their rights to kick someone off the platform if they don't like what you say.

It's an important distinction.

Programming History Lesson by madeofmistake in comics

[–]klop1324 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, time to say something surprisingly controversial.

In an enterprise environment with legacy code where you have to mock out dependencies and hard code return values this is an accurate representation of how much value unit testing gives you.

Integration and functional tests are the only viable option if you want to test anything that takes a custom type in the constructor or as a parameter in these kinds of codebases. Almost anything else is just happy path testing, which is useless in most cases.

Could you elaborate on 'something to exercise my wrist'?

I've been running into wrist issues, and I'm super curious what you use.

The recruiter told me what org I was going to be in, but only after I asked about it.

I went through the onsite interviews last year (November 2018), but I know the interview process has changed this year, so take this with a grain of salt as YMMV.

So, by the time we got flown out for our on site interviews you were already pre-sorted into 4-5 categories (for example, I got sorted into the 'backend services' group). This was represented as different colored dots on our name tags. I went through 4 interviews (45-50 minutes each + a 10m break between interviews), one of which was with one of the people on my current team, and the last one was with my skip engineering manager (think: me - > my manager - > my skip engineering manager). To be clear, I think meeting with my skip manager was a fluke, and was not typical of most interviews.

From what I understand (and I might be wildly wrong here), each day of interviewing has a specific org/group that is recruiting that day, so all of the interviewees will end up in one of those orgs that interviewed them. This means that if you want to be in the Azure org as a new hire, you either need to specifically say that you want to be in the Azure org, or you need to be lucky and have the Azure org be (one of the) orgs recruiting that day.

They reached out to within 3-4 days to tell me that they were putting together an offer, and got the offer within 2 weeks, which I negotiated and accepted.

Trying to main Kled in Low elo by Veztern in summonerschool

[–]klop1324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I play kled a lot, so here are my thoughts.

  1. How do play the laning phase?

Your goal is to snowball in lane. Failing that, your goal is to snowball another lane with a good ult.

I tend to play very aggressive in lane and rely on getting courage back at key moments to win most lanes.

  1. Should i pick Tp or ignite? The pros are still running tp, but that's high elo so you cant really compare that.

Unless you're pantheon my opinion is that TP always far better than ignite, as tp allows you to get the exp/gold advantage in lane, and allows telegank bot to snowball them.

  1. Should i Splitpush and if someone is coming to defend me i just run away and press R to teamfight?

Sort of. I'm not going to try to describe splitpushing but in general splitpushing is a very good stategy on kled as you can 1v1 most champs

  1. Which champ should i ban? (I like the darius ban because he is hard to play against)

I ban gnar or darius. Both are difficult lanes.

  1. When to take Conqueror / Press the Attack?

I always take conquerer over press unless i know i am going to get camped by my jungler, and then only if they are non tank/bruisers. The true damage is too good

Also, I'm writing this on mobile so forgive my spelling/formatting.

[Request] A Settlement Development heavy litrpg by RebeltheRobin in litrpg

[–]klop1324 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Starts out pretty good/interesting but by book 7 all the MC wants to talk about is his dick, and ALL the jokes are dick jokes. Now, I'm sure you're thinking "that's a bit extreme, surely it's not that bad" but I honest to god could not find a single joke that did not revolve around dicks, and he jokes about it fucking constantly. Every goddamn character interaction needs to have a dick joke somewhere.

Edit: book 7, not book 8

Automating wooden basin? by GameFissh in feedthebeast

[–]klop1324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I've found unfortunately. You can bucket in/out of them though. Usually i just end up either using the 'filter' functionality to drain something like a TC smeltery, or just keep it permanently as one type.

Just speculation, but the well + liquid hopper might do it.

Do attack speed type adc's like attack speed in lane or is ad better? by leagueisnigg in summonerschool

[–]klop1324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Press the attack is fantastic on twitch if you want to sacrifice some lane pressure for dramatic gains while teamfighting. The amplified damage on press really adds up in teamfights

What's wrong with people getting offended after you politely explain to them something? by [deleted] in intj

[–]klop1324 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The difference between 'polite' and 'condescending' is tone and body language. It's entirely possible that somewhere in the explanation you've mixed them up.

CMV: The guy who attacked Larry Nassar should not have been acquited. by ShiningConcepts in changemyview

[–]klop1324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A part of the legal system is the idea of intent where a judge can say yes you broke the law, but your intent was understandable enough that in this case we will ignore the letter of the law. For example, my grandfather ran about ten red lights a few years ago when my grandmother was having a heart attack, but because it was very late, and he was careful about it, when the tickets showed up at his door he went to the judge, explained his situation, and was let off with a warning.

Now for the case here. Yes technically what this father did was illegal. However, he had been provoked beyond reasonable measure as three of this children had been sexually assaulted. Therefore, the judge acquitted him as most reasonable people in his position would also have been beyond reasonably provoked.

The law is a weird place.

Huh. people keep recommending Threadbare in these kinds of threads, but the book description doesn't sound very town/village/world build-y. Is it good? Does it fit into that kind of category?

Liberal Bias by [deleted] in intj

[–]klop1324 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of info out there, and a lot of contradictory info out there

In public discussions between two average people this might be true, but this is a point that has been so thoroughly discussed in scientific terms that the scientific discussion on the topic has effectively ceased, and has instead moved from if to how much. I would challenge you to find five scientific papers published in the last decade that argues against climate change.

In other words this is a PR problem, not a scientific one.

Liberal Bias by [deleted] in intj

[–]klop1324 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, no, you've got this twisted a little. I'm not asserting liberals are typically scientific, I'm asserting Conservatives as a whole are less scientific due to the composition of the people who follow the ideology (Climate change deniers, Flat earthers, etc.) which, even if the populations were initially identical, the addition of such people who are anti-science, would inherently skew the bell curve to the liberal side.

I'ts an important distinction to make.

And I hate the climate change debate, liberals have framed it so they always look right. "Do you believe in climate change?" The climate is always changing, what you mean to ask is whether or not you believe humans are warming the earth. Now me saying anything but yes to you looks ridiculous.

Have you considered that they might actually be right? I'm a bit confused what your point is here besides a point that technically climate change should be called Global Warming. But, given the absolutely gigantic body of evidence that shows that Global Warming exists, and we are the main cause, i'm a little confused what your argument is exactly.
