There's really odd undertones in a lot of Netflix shows

Big Mouth (a cartoon) is about child sex

Emily in Paris, character lead has sex with a 17yo on screen.

There are more, I just can't bring them to mind at the moment. Perhaps I should begin to document them.

Hmm... Black Mirror (the Netflix episodes) had child sex in, End of The Fucking World had child sex in it; although both with negative consequences so poor examples.

Maybe it's coincidental, but it is something I've started to notice more and more.

Keep it in mind next time you watch some shows on Netflix and perhaps it will stand out.

Netflix has a huge amount of content with pro paedophile tendancies. So many of their shows have underage sex or themes thereof. I have yet to see anyone catalogue these, only point them out in favourite shows.

(Aware of the cuties debacle, but this is a rather overt example, aforementioned are sometimes subtle.)

Ferrari used this method for their ECUs in the 360 to reduce risk of damage from vibration and heat.

>When writing a technical document, stick to one word per concept

The problem comes since this doesn't make it seem like you have a wide vocabulary. A large vocabulary is naively indicative of intelligence; why you'll see inexperienced people using flowery complex language in a multitude of different ways to explain the same ideas..... Certainly proliferated from American English. Annoying.

>It’s ridiculously obvious when people have seen the question before

>We started doing it this way precisely because we kept running into people who would have 3 nearly perfect interviews and one “hard fail”

So which is it? Obvious they've seen the question before, or only obvious after they fail on an unseen problem...

Your arrogance and hostility is hilarious.

Naturally. There's a reason AI papers are not published in respected journals a significant proportion of the time.

However, SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been found on environmental surfaces in hospital rooms, quarantine rooms, and other community settings, implying that the surfaces can become contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 despite few studies being able to culture live viruses.46,52,79-82 Additionally, new variants with potentially greater transmissibility continue to emerge, and they may behave differently on surfaces than the strains that have been studied to date

So yes, there is a reason to do what you say is "theatre"

Japanese people are smaller though. So relatively the size is the same.

Yes you can. Change from solution view to folder view.

So everything you want from an IDE?

Is it someone's responsibility to periodically use the environment as real users?

Without this, there's no value in running a duplicate environment like this. Automated tests won't capture human interaction perfectly...
