When you give the task to an intern-to-be.

I’d be screwed.

If all you have is a hammer, everything else looks like a nail.

I don’t really mind. The only high bandwidth thing I use on my work laptop is the USB-C for my displays. If I ever plug something into the rest of the ports, it would be a mouse/keyboard/headset and none of those require anything more than USB 2.0.

Baby shoes. Again, tie them to the handle.

Bonus points if you print out this comic and put it right next.

I’m a programmer, but I feel like I’ve heard this outside of this field.

Self-respect mostly (at least what’s left of it).

That’s why it’s discounted…

Yep, I’m familiar with those - on almost any bycicle the left pedal would tighten to the crank counterclockwise.

I’ve heard the right hand rule regarding magnetism and current direction (because it’s useful to illustrate correlation between vectors), but never about screws. Now that I think of it, it makes perfect sense there too, only that you have to imagine a thumb pointing down most of the time…

I can’t think of an equivalent phrase in Bulgarian for that, but it’s known that [most] threads tighten when turning clockwise… and if you don’t know what direction the clock goes, what are you even doing with screws or bolts…

And again there are special cases even outside of threads - for example in plumbing there are some valves that are open when the handle is parallel to the pipe and closed when the handle is perpendicular - and it might just happen that the closing motion happens counterclockwise.

… and you hope you don’t forget until the next time you have to do it…

NVMe in a phone would be something ridiculously inefficient both because of the form factor and the power draw.

This can IMO be both good and bad. Good if they take the existing design, thicken the body to make it flush with the camera modules and put a larger battery in that space; bad if they use the existing design and make the cameras thinner so that there’s no bump.

But hey, we can’t talk much sense to manufacturers who are happy if we buy a new toy every year…

Imagine a case similar to what we had about the default web browser on Windows.

Don’t get attached to a company unless it’s your own gig.

If you get fired and you’re good, you’ll get hired again within weeks.

Phrasing is important, right?

Fair enough, whatever works for you - but I feel like this is more of an exclusion and the majority of people are just too lazy to set their monitor brightness properly.

My problem is kind of the opposite - most light themes I’ve seen are too contrasty and I can’t discern the different colours all that well, moreover too much contrast is tiring to my eyes. Black text on white background is about the same as white text on black background. Most of the time I prefer dark themes, but those with low or medium contrast.

I’ve thought about this as well, but I haven’t been able to find such a light sensor.
