As a Canadian this seems great - if someone wants to go, they should be allowed to go. One of my neighbours ended their life through MAiD a few years ago after becoming fully paral…

Yeah, the requirement for 24/7 surveillance to avoid being sent to a foster home - or something - kinda sucks

Thankfully, it sounds like the child's mother won't be required to go to prison for a year - as long as she agrees to always have someone physically watch her son, and additionally…

Maybe, but, I've never heard of any cases like this. Granted, I'm only 32, have only lived in Canada for 32 years, and haven't checked to see how common it is for parents to be sen…

Obviously, yes. It's worth noting that the person who said that they'd only hire junior developers who know git isn't the President of the United States or anything, and can absolu…

This is the nuance that people aren't able to understand anymore - something happened when the Internet came out, and we've never been the same. The OP was just surprised that peop…

I think that this would be a great idea, and could also help combat students not doing anything in group projects. I lone wolfed most of my group projects in college, and don't hav…

This has proven to be an extremely controversial topic, but, in my opinion, it's perfectly okay to use git in college or university, and we should encourage, not discourage people …

TIL: all code posted for review on https://codereview.stackexchange.com/ has to be compilable. I noted that a function wasn't available in the snippet in my post, but 2 users still…

I was moreso thinking of review comments like "this is the worst code I've ever seen", "give up now", "ignoring the hundreds of errors, this looks fine", Dreamworks villain laughte…

I get what you mean, and agree with the idea of Just Building Things, but, I also want to make sure that I'm building things "the right way" if that makes sense. For example, I'm n…

This may just be a cognitive bias on my side of things, but, I've found that a lot of the time when you ask people you don't work with to review your code, they tend to review it s…

I currently work as a senior information security analyst and primary software engineer covering absolutely every aspect of design and development, and it's, a lot of work. I used …

As a generalist, it's a mind-numbing amount of work in 2023

And use their Slack, so, Slack.

I'm looking to learn more about different topics in the field that I work in - currently agents, microservices, breach and attack simulation, cyber threat intelligence, vulnerabili…

Thanks for the insights!

Yeah, I get that, I just didn't realize that being a beginner in a particular field of study was a bad thing or something to be frowned upon. If there's a trope about people new to…

Ah, gotcha, I didn't realize that sophomore was an insult - I just thought it meant you were a student

I don't really understand the meaning of sophomoric discussion, but, is it basically being open to, and discussing thoughts, ideas, concepts, etc., that you're not an expert in? Is…

Ah, gotcha - I assumed that if some document said you couldn't use something for some purpose and you decided to use it anyway it would be considered theft from the intellectual pr…

I don't follow, don't encryption and compression algorithms carry out a very specific steps that isn't likely to show up accidentally by happenstance? (e.g. it'd be hard to acciden…

I've received a lot of flak for this answer in other communities, but, if a statistical model is producing purely derivative works using a mathematical model that's basically a nex…
