Can someone please explain to me why heritage in your ancestry is held in high regard and openly talked about with pride? Im from Germany and almost nobody cares (besides narrow minded idiots) about that.
You know how people of Turkish ancestry, even if they’ve been in Germany for three generations are still called “Turks?” It’s the opposite of that.

Don't Germans make more of heritage than us? It's pretty widely accepted that a Turkish-American is an American. Ditto for Irish-Americans, Mexican-Americans, etc. I have heard of people born and raised in Germany not being considered German because their grandparents were Turkish immigrants. Also even though we tal...

There is the question of whether this even should be a class. A hash is really just a function. Given that an object really just stores a plain text and a hash, there is little point it it even being an object. Further, you are storing your binary representations as "plain text" in strings. That is fairly inefficient,...

While taking input in vector v.push_back() is faster as compared to cin>>v[I] why?
These two statements are not equal. One appends a default constructed value to a vector, the other inserts a user input value into an array. The first is superficially faster because the second blocks until the user has input a number. Likewise any I/O operation will likely be slower than push_back().

If glass blocks infrared, why do greenhouses get so hot?
The Sun's spectrum peaks in the visible, so sunlight gets through and hits things inside the greenhouse.

Glass blocks SOME infrared wavelengths but not all. Glass blocks mid to far infrared, but not near infrared. That is, normal soda-lime glass doesn't block much until the wavelength is over about 2700 nm. Visible light is 380 to 700 nm. So, infrared energy between 700 and 2700 nm passes through glass almost as well as...

I am seeking a remote job and am looking for someone who actually works for these companies (that are hiring) and can give me honest feedback about work expectations, demand, stress level etc. I have 11 years experience in IT and am looking to move to remote for anything paying 65k+ can anyone out there assist?
You’re not giving us much context in your post. What types of positions are you look for? What is your current job title? What skills do you have to offer? $65k+ is a bit low for 11 years of experience. You should really be trying for $150k+. I have about the same amount of experience and I’m in the $150k+ range. W...

In 1990, 71% of Ukrainians voted to preserve the USSR. A year later, 92% of Ukrainians voted for independence. Why the turn of events?

Office Space, it never fails to make me laugh, especially the traffic jam scene when the guy is walking faster in his walker.

I have to imagine lots of people drink alcohol before finding out that they are pregnant. Shouldn't this cause more issues with the baby's development? Isn't this the critical time for development when it could have the most effect on the baby?

The answer is that at low and moderate levels of use in early stages of pregnancy, the studies are not as conclusive as one would like. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is absolutely a thing and the more one drinks in pregnancies, especially at higher usages, the more likely it is to occur. Less conclusively known is what happen...

There's lots of conflicting info here and a lot of it comes down to there not being many studies on pregnant women because of ethics. Pretty much every drug, prescription or over the counter, says not to take it when pregnant not because there's any proof it's harmful but there isn't any proof it's not. Most of the med...

Hello everyone, I have been working for a year as Desktop Support and my manager has recently asked me that he would want me to move to a Field tech position in few months. I have a bachelor in CS and the field tech requirement is HS diploma or GED. Does this make sense at all?
Their requirements don't make sense but the move should be what you want to do. Field tech is onsite, out of the office. You also get to interact with clients face to face. Put hands on networking equipment, etc. Everything above can also be a 'con' if you don't like any of those things. I've seen a lot of field te...

I loved being a field tech. It's a good way to show you can work independently and make decisions on the fly. I was able to parlay that experience into an acquisitions project lead (the person that shows up at a recently purchased office to onboard the new network and other tech) and eventually into an internal it PM p...

I wouldn't do field work unless I got a company vehicle. It sounds like fun to drive around and meet different customers all day. Pretty quickly you realize that even if they pay for your gas, you sink a ton of extra money into car repairs.

An internship is worth taking. Internship > no Internship. Don't worry about being pigeon holed because it's a proprietary language. My internship used Python and now I'm a .NET dev.

You could also take the internship, figure out if you enjoy the work, and if you don't, there's no obligation to go full time. The internship will be worthwhile, giving you talking points for future interviews!

You haven't called the method "can\_login()". You have checked the truthiness of the class's method, "can\_login". In Python, I think variables that are set evaluate to true, unless they're specifically False. In this case, the class User has a method can\_login, which evaluates to true when checked in an if statement,...

First, you don't really owe them anything. Just say that you have a new opportunity that is good for your career. You don't have to justify yourself.

Given the choice between two courses 1 - in a language you aren't familiar with (also that you don't particularly like) but with a bunch of common industry frameworks.

This would depend on the job. I'm interviewing soon for a job that centers around one framework (and knowledge of the language is expected). I've also seen many postings that seem more focused on the language because they develop tools internally, so they can't expect new hires to be familiar with them already. Hell, ...

If your interviewer is selecting for your knowledge of OOP (or literally any other dogma) then ask yourself if you want to be a programmer or a cultist before continuing with the interview. (Only slightly sarcastic)

I would probably lean towards the languages you know and can use fully. This allows for a broad range of ability and use of said ability

If dentists make their money from bad teeth, why do we use the toothpaste they recommend?
Believe it or not, many doctors and dentists are actually ethical or even altruistic, and don’t base their recommendations on personal profit.

Healthy teeth make more money for a dentist over the long run. Bad teeth get pulled. People who care about their teeth are willing to spend way more money protecting and maintaining them.

I come from Java, where a List<Cat> is a List<? extends Animal>. I tried reading articles about c++ variance but I got nowhere. If I have a function void foo(std::vector<Animal>) I can't pass a std::vector<Cat> ; I guess my designs are wrong from the start and I usually wriggle out of i...
You dont. If you want to use runtime polymorphism (as you appear to do), then you need to store pointers. A container can only store one type, and if you have a `vector<Animal>` that is a distinct and unrelated type to `vector<Cat>`. No conversion exists, because converting those would require a copy and sl...
