  • Very few people have a truly diverse software experience base. Many humans without a large, diverse experience base have trouble imagining there are problems outside their own experience.
    There are millions of different problems that need software solutions. People with limited experience have opinions as to the “best” software.
    People with large, diverse experience bases tend to be a bit more circumspect and can understand there is no single best answer. The “best” software for a given task depends on many things, including the problem, the schedule, the availability of resources, etc.




  • We’re raised by parents that must be obeyed for our own safety. Some people eventually learn to accept their parents are imperfect people and not gods. Many people do not. They look to kings and gods to protect and provide for them.

    Those that have power negotiate with kings and gods. People without power attempt to use the only techniques they know to negotiate with their kings and gods: begging and/or pledging loyalty and service in exchange for scraps.

    Of course this is but one of many reasons many people worship power.

    So can someone who is more familiar with this subject answer, “Are these pictures taken at the same time of day with or without seasonal adjustments to time (Daylight Savings Time, etc.)?”

    I understand why the sun would move vertically over the year due to the tilt of the Earth, but what causes the horizontal movement?

    Heh. Years ago during an interview I was explaining how important it is to verify a system before putting it into orbit. If one found problems in orbit, you usually can’t fix it. My interviewer said, “Why not just send up the space shuttle to fix it?”

    Well…



  • Well, the mod decided that I didn’t really have a diagnosis, because they didn’t understand what I’d said, and kept DMing me to tell me that I didn’t have Lupus, and shouldn’t be receiving treatment for it.

    Ignore it, if you can. 99% of the people on the internet (and real life, sadly):

    • Don’t pay attention enough to understand what you said/asked.
    • Assume that their life experience applies to everyone else on the planet.
    • Have no idea what life is like for everyone else.
