Next tell her that that text we were waiting on was made with only numbers on our phones. Her brain my come out her nose.

Cool features… wild name.

I… wh… sniffies?

It’s a silly riddle that, for some reason, has stuck around in my head for decades, I think from an old tv show (anyone else remember Crashbox?). I remembered the answer immediately. So, this would be less of a test of my reasoning/problem solving skills, and more of a test of my ability to find and store vast amounts of useless trivia and instantly recall it decades after the fact. If that’s what you’re hiring for, I’m your guy!

Right? Feel bad for anyone that just had a system fry or have been saving up to upgrade.

🥲

Sure. There were worse problems to. SQL injection vulnerabilities, dense functions with hundreds of lines of spaghetti code, absolutely zero test coverage on any project, etc. That’s just the easiest to show an example of and it’s also the one that made me flinch every time I saw it.

"".equals() 😨

Joined a new team and one of my first tasks was a refactor on a shared code file (Java) that was littered with data validations like if ("".equals(id) || id == null) { throw new IllegalArgumentException() }

The dev who wrote it clearly was trying to make sure the string values were populated but they apparently A) didn’t think to just put the null check first so they didnt have to write their string comparison so terribly or else didnt understand short circuiting and B) didn’t know any other null-safe way to check for an empty string, like, say StringUtils.isEmpty()

CPU temp will be my break statement.

Heh, Gateway monitors.

I mean… if you want to clean up a bunch of salts you’re creating.

Yes, I know. And to maintain homeostasis, it has means to make adjustments to changes, like pH. Which means you can change the pH of some fluid in the body within reason, and it will correct this change. We are not saying anything different.

I wasn’t trying to suggest that it (alkaline water) necessarily does anything of significance. I certainly wasnt saying it has any health benefits. I was saying that, at most, adding a small bit of base to the body might make it compensate a bit. That’s it.

None of what you said contradicts what I said.

Ok. Then they’re wrong. The human body’s overall pH can vary within to a small degree with little to no effect on your health, let alone kill you. Changing the pH in small amounts, particularly in different areas like the stomach, will not typically harm the body at all. The entire purpose of some medications like antacids is to do that specifically with the stomach, for example.

You replied to me, dude. And I said more than one thing. Idk what the hell you’re claiming will kill you.

Hmm TIL

It absolutely will not. If it did, it would kill you.

Then what does that mean?
