I still subscribe to the theory that these people are hired actors from Big Oil. They are experts at being unlikable and naturally pushes me towards the opposing side. It sucks.

But the post says "horse" not "house". You know, like the neigh-type of thing.

I think you're fine in just 3 dimensions. If the person to the upper left and lower right have a separate elevation from the other two, this is basically just the shape of a 4 sided die.

Before going to the comments section, I was like "wtf is this post?"

After reading a few comments, I'm fully bewildered. What the fuck is up with your crazy country?

A pretty general explanation is that a number consists of an length and an angle on the number line. Positive numbers have angle = 0. Negative numbers have angle = pi (or 180° if you want to work with degrees instead of radians).

Multiplication is an operation where you add together the angles to retrieve the resulting angle and multiply together lengths to get the resulting length (yes, kinda recursive, but we're only working with purely positive numbers here).

So 3 * (-3) means
Length = 3 * 3 = 9
Angle = 0 + pi = pi (or 0 + 180° = 180°)

Of course this is very pedantic, but it works in more complex scenarios as well (pun intended).

Imaginary numbers have angle pi/2 (or 90°) or 3pi/2 (or 270°). So if you for instance want to find the square root of i, you can solve it by finding the length:

1 = x * x

And angle:

pi/2 = y + y
(can use modulus 2pi to acquire 2 solutions here)

Solving the equations and resolving the real and imaginary part with trigonometry, we get

1/sqrt(2) + 1/sqrt(2)*i

And

-1/sqrt(2) - 1/sqrt(2)*i

After getting caught in a bank robbery, stealing thousands of dollars and traumatizing bystanders, the robber can just say: "No one gave me a fair notice this was illegal"

Is that pretty much the level of this claim?

In an ideal world, maybe the votes would be weighed by the expected remaining life span of the voter.

Intellij: Has a modern GUI for Git with code cleanup, import optimization and visualization of changes.

Me: Open terminal, 'git commit -m "wrote code" && git push'. Then realize I forgot to add half of the files, so I make another commit. Then realize I forgot to cleanup bad indents, so I make another commit. Then realize my code doesn't even build, so I make another commit, etc.

As an IT-worker, it's not uncommon to test technology and scrap it due to bad results or unfit implementation. Usually this isn't considered a waste, since there are a lot of things to learn in the process.

However, this one system which was designed for testing applications was a bit different. From the day we were told about it, basically every developer knew that this would be unfit. However the customers were firm on that it should be implemented. I'm not sure if it was because of the looks of the sales person or if it was a genuine incompetense that the decission was landed, but I felt a bit too junior to stand up against it. So about a month of work with 2 developers went down on something that every other developer knew would be scrapped. 2 devs at ~$100/hour, 4 weeks of 40 hours, so roughly $32,000.

The lesson was that I need to be more direct and firm when things like that is decided.

I have replaced almost every light bulb in my house with smart bulbs which feature both bluetooth and zigbee connections. It's around 40 devices. If your neighbour has smart bulbs or other devices, I guess that could be a large part of it.

This is a fuck-up, not a statement. Though we can laugh of them, it doesn't really do anything.

You should follow the general advice: Don't send messages to your X.
