I worked at a large financial company that you’ve probably heard of. Unit tests were basically non-existent, code reviews were a joke, and I saw some of the worst code I’ve ever seen come from senior engineers.

It seems I misremembered this story that I read years ago after eating some and feeling queasy for several hours:

To add a caveat, in 2004 when the current edition of the Encyclopedia of Fungi was launched at a National Trust property, to which 60 journalists were invited for lunch, there was an incident involving this species. On the day before, we had found a specimen of Laetiporus sulphureus in prime condition, on Oak, which was collected and incorporated, lightly sauteed, as part of the meal.

Approximately half an hour after ingestion, 6 of the 60 journalists became violently ill – vomiting, cyanosed, sweating, icy cold, with raised pulse, and very frightened. The remaining 54 suffered no ill effects.

The doctor who attended diagnosed a severe allergic reaction and the symptoms subsided after about 2 hours.

Subsequent investigation turned up research by a US-based toxicology team at the University of Berkeley, California. It had concluded that 10% of the people taking part in extensive trials, suffered these severe effects. Our experience was exactly in line with this figure.

It’s also worth bearing in mind that Laetiporus sulphureus growing on Taxus hosts, is potentially lethal.

near enough to a star, yes, but most space isn’t that close to a star

The most atrocious variable names I ever encountered in code were as a research assistant for a math professor doing game theory simulations. Literally unreadable unless you had a copy of his paper on the subject to refer to

mathematician here, where is the joke?

She’s an American actress who was in Handmaid’s Tale and a few other things and then blew up thanks to her role in Euphoria. She’s become a bit of a meme recently because online conservatives think that her boobs are anti-woke

Hey op, you should see if your uni has a counseling center or if you’re in a country with proper healthcare you should see about getting therapy the regular way

I have not used tailwind personally and I’m a fan of keeping the markup simple but to each their own

It’s so much more fun now though! Things like grid layout and flex box have really changed the game. Also idk if you were saying otherwise but this has no variables and is vanilla CSS

CSS has a pseudo-class, :focus-visible, that matches when an element is focused using keyboard navigation. It also has :focus-within, which matches when the current focused element is the selected element or one of its descendents. However, this applies not only for keyboard navigation but also mouse and tap focus. A pseudo-class that combines the two, :focus-visible-within, would be useful, but does not currently exist. Here’s an article about it: https://larsmagnus.co/blog/focus-visible-within-the-missing-pseudo-class

The code in the meme implements the logic of :focus-visible-within using the new :has() functional pseudo-class, and has a snippet of fallback behavior for slightly older browsers

CSS has always combined the styling and the logic for the styling. CSS selectors implement logic to determine where to apply styles

bingo, i made this meme while doing accessibility improvements at work

with CSS grid, and now subgrid (finally, chrome), layout with CSS has never been more pleasant

im this case she uses male as an adjective, which would be fine for female too (“a female post doc”)

well the other stipulation was that it has to happen from a single kick

Yeah it just depends on whether the goal is to launch the child into the sun or just in an orbit with a low periapsis

It requires energy to shrink an orbit just as it does to grow it. Since we’re launching from Earth, we start with Earth’s orbit around the sun, and we have to burn enough to bring the perihelion of our launched child’s solar orbit to within the sun itself. We could use Venus or Mercury for gravity assists but the angular speed of the orbit does have to be mostly cancelled to hit the sun

i may be mistaken but I don’t think it can be utilized to descend toward the sun
