The thing about QA is the work is truly endless.

If they can do their work more efficiently, they don’t get laid off.

It just means a better % of edge cases can get covered, even if you made QAs operate at 100x efficiency, they’d still have edge cases not getting covered.

The fact every article calls it “brown fluid” or “sludge” or “dark water” or etc shows how absolutely spineless and bought out every place is.

It was shit, feces, excrement. Not “brown fluid”, it was shit.

The President of the United States of America reposted an AI generated video of him dumping feces out of a plane on crowds of protestors.

Just say it like it is.

“Hey internet I was thinking of cutting some of my babies dick off”

“Bro wtf what”

“Just a lil bit, just the tip!”

“Aw okay that’s fine mate!”

Did you think this would be how it goes?

Don’t… cut parts of your baby’s dick off dude, it’s a weird thing to do.

Or… I know what I’m talking about maybe.

For perspective, I sit at around a 40%-50% callback rate on my submissions to go to screening, when I’m looking for a job.

Formatting is honestly a big part. Left align what matters.

Too wordy, missing key details, too big, too small, etc

Missing they key words the job posting covers. If the job posting talks about Node and angular and your resume doesn’t explicitly namedrop them, then it loses a tonne of points.

Usually the majority of resumes that pass the sanity check then go to screening. You’d be surprised how many people just screw up basic stuff.

Every single time I’ve had someone complain to me about job offers, I’ll grab a random job posting I find and ask em to send me the version of their resume + cover letter they would send to that specific posting.

Quite often within a min or two I can find several reasons why their resume would’ve gotten bin’d

Usually these sorts of results are an issue with your resume or cover letter.

As someone on the other end, the sheer amount of applications I get means any resume that isn’t setup correctly can just go straight into the bin and I still have hundreds of good resumes to work with.

If the majority of your applications get rejected/ignored BEFORE a screener that means your resume or cover letter is improperly formatted or something is wrong with them that triggers an auto reject

Whenever a racing game comes out and they put sonic in a vehicle, I wish they’d note it in the lore itself

It’s gotta be a case of “sonic we are putting you in this car to make this race fair” which I’d find hilarious if they acknowledge it out loud.

IE have him say something like “don’t make me get out of this car” or whatever as a threat, or, “I’d have won if I wasn’t in this hunk of junk” or etc

The entire concept of Sonic in a car is hilarious to me, because while everyone else is going fast, he’s just like “oh my goooood why is this thing so slooooww”

What makes that the more likely scenario?

Because it’s their facility

this facility has never had this issue until the FBI showed up to commandeer their incinerator.

Says who?

For all we know they’ve had issues everytime they incinerate but they ignored it cuz a lil bit of smoke from 1 cat is way easier to shrug off compared to a huge amount of meth

It’s very possible they just have been ignoring the problem because normal smoke from incineration a very small cadaver isn’t a big deal, whereas meth fumes are extremely toxic and not something you can just shrug off

Lord knows I’ve worked with workers who have the “I’ve been doing it this way for 10 years and never had an issue, don’t be a pussy” type of attitude too

So hard to say, without more info it’s basically just us speculating.

rather than the FBI for their clear incompetence?

The article has not stated who was responsible for operation of the facility.

It’s more likely the responsibility was on the staff to ensure the equipment at their own facility was functioning right

This sort of error should have been covered by prior operation licensing checks, a facility with an incinerator on premises shouldn’t have negative pressure issues

So something somehow caused a negative pressure issue.

Usually the culprit is some kind of exhaust fan being run, or a door being left open too long

Based on time of year and how hot out it is, I wonder if a staff member left a door propped open or something.

Incinerator systems need positive pressure overall.

Anyone who lives in the north and has a gas based furnace heating system knows how deadly negative air pressure can be…

Read the article:

The incinerator is usually used by animal control officers to dispose of euthanised animals, but local authorities said it can also be used by law enforcement to burn seized narcotics.

The incident was caused when smoke was pushed in the wrong direction because of negative pressure, according to Assistant City Administrator Kevin Iffland.

That sounds like it wasn’t a method specific issue, and if anything had been burnt in that incinerator it would’ve caused the same issue.

Sounds like the facility wasn’t setup right, any facility with an incinerator should definitely have positive pressure, not negative.

Getting a later special meeting request with the ceo, at one company, because he wanted feedback on their interview process itself. He then offered me a different job and I had to decline cuz I already accepted another (this was a few weeks after the initial decline I gave)

In another case they just fast tracked me and I ended up declining the job anyways (didn’t like the job)

I’m full time employed but I still do occasiobal interviews to keep feelers out for how the market is. But I typically decline most offers cuz they’re not good enough to get me to actively quit my current job.

Same, I’ve started just stating I have a maximum of 3 interviews I do before I auto-reject the offer.

This has had interesting results.

The only thing indicating it was a pit bull was the lady claiming it was a pit bull.

Classic high quality journalism. Zero effort put into actually confirming.

because by not signing, there won’t be a referendum at all, right?

Only a fool would hope for this.

You seem hell bent on trying to frame this as “yeah but its totally gonna fail”

Thats a dumb assumption to make, it’s very much possible the “bad” referendum succeeds, so hedging your bets on it failing is just a dumb idea.

the petition is really “sign this if you want a referendum” isn’t it?

No, its “Sign this to at least make the referendum thats pretty likely to happen at least not have such a poorly framed question”

I would assume it’s going to happen, it’s wishful thinking to assume it wont.

But if it fails

Thatd be an extremely foolish thing to hedge your bets on, it very well could get enough signatures.

In the “right” use case, story points should just represent relative effort.

The hours dont matter, its more about ranking how challenging a task is, in order to help the manager rank the priority of tasks.

You should have typically 2~3 metrics:

1. Points, which represent relative effort of the task to the other tasks you are also ranking.

2. Value, how much value does doing this task provide, how important is it

3. Risk, how risky is it that this might break shit though if you make these changes (IE new features typically are low risk since they just add stuff, but if you have to modify old stuff now your risk goes up)

If you have a good integration testing system automated, Risk can be mostly removed since you can just rely on your testing framework to catch if something is gonna explode.

Then your manager can use a formula with these values to basically rank a priority order for every ticket you now scored, in order to assess what the next thing is that is best to focus on.

Lol, are you actually getting downvoted for all this?

Everything this person wrote is correct. Free Speech protects you from the government, not other individuals.
