It looks exactly like c++ and c# and java and probably others.

It's just modeling humans. I was only a lab TA for two semesters, and I caught so many fake data sets.

Ok. I'm also not crazy.

My hairline has started receding very rapidly. There's there's these fine hairs all over my desk, and I see the photo I took when joining directly before turning on my camera every meeting.

Be nice.

Jesus Christ. Just be nice.

Why is no one on Lemmy nice.

Again, who is saying that? I don't find janitorial duty shameful neither do I find sanitation engineer shameful. That's you

I guess you'd also rather be called butcher or barber than surgeon?

After all, rebranding implies you're ashamed.

Tell me about it...

I left my more mature company for a startup.

I feel like Tyler Durden sometimes.

A more standard definition in academia is that scientists solve problems because they want to know the answer. Engineers solve problems because they want the problem to be solved.

In any case, the difference is just, heh, academic.

I'm very much the latter.

Who is saying that?

There's too much virtue signaling here. No engineer thinks poorly of the trades. That's the point of the conversation.

I just made a joke about how burger flippers can be called engineers, and I have a PhD.

 

I feel like I'm in such a minority of people who think DST is great.

No. I don't like spring forward, but fall back gets me a nice boost as suddenly the sun comes up an 8 am rather than 9.

It's winter. The sun is going to set at either four or five (where I live, it's certainly worse other places and better others). You're not getting daylight after work. It's winter.

 

The paper shows some significant evidence that human coin flips are not as fair as I would have expected (plus probably a bunch of people would agree with me). There's always some probability that this happened by chance, but this is pretty low.

Of course, we should be able to build a really accurate coin flipping machine, but I never would have expected such a bias for human flippers.

This is why science is awesome and challenging your ideas is important.

Edit: hopefully this is not too wrong a place, but Lemmy is small, and I didn't know where else I could share such an exciting finding.

Found this in the remnants of a bag a grass seed from last year. It seems completely desiccated.

My best guess is that this is what we call a worm snake. I can't imagine how it got there unless it came with the bag. The bag has been in my garage since I bought it.

We've got a lot of these worm snakes on my property. They're smaller than a lot of earthworms I find (that's engineering paper, 5 squares per inch).

 

Pet dinosaurs FTW.

 

I've got ducks. They are cute and hilarious and lay the most delicious eggs, but they aren't this kind of fun-monster.

Still technically dinosaurs.

 

Every week there's a new monster (MOTW) where all the evidence for outsiders disappears, or there's the mythology where the government is covering it up.

I'm a huge skeptic in almost everything, but if I saw what she saw, I would clearly believe. That's plenty of evidence for me, and I'm an actual scientist (well PhD engineer. I definitely did real science in school though)

The shit's clearly real in their universe.

(Sorry, just been watching the first season of the x-files for the past few weeks)

 

i just wanted a lemmy version of reddit's /r/fuckimold. now it appears to be deleted by creator and I've yet to find any mod controls

 

In the South East, they bring you sweetened (usually far too sweetened for my tastes) iced tea. This is amazingly universal.

I live in NC and have been probing the border for years.

For "nicer" restaurants, the universal sweet tea boundary seems to be precisely at the NC/VA border.
