If you mean you're not a programmer, rad, good compliment. If you mean QA engineers aren't programmers... wtaf?
It's weird how some people admit they still test code by hand
Personally, I find it helpful to bugger out things with pen and paper before coding it out. This is helpful and useful.
Greatness to you of you need not the analogue. Others "below you" may and can do just as well. Please do not down your nose upon such folks.

Thats a rehash of an old joke: I know it soviet style: A mathematician, a physicist and a biologist are flying in a air balloon and are lost. They encounter a man walking below: The biologist asks him: "do you know, where we are?" "..." the man looks up and says nothing The physicist ask him: "can you please tell us, where we are!" "..." after a while the man says: "in a balloon". The mathematician remarks, ah, he mu…
A Soviet engineer needs some plumbing done in his apartment, and calls for a plumber. The plumber arrives, does his thing, and hands over the bill. The engineer is shocked. -'What, this is like a quarter of what I make in a month - for half an hour's work???' Plumber shrugs. -'Well, why don't you come join us? Easy work, well paid, no responsibility - just remember to keep mum about your degree, as we're not supposed…

Your thermos does not have a switch which you must set to "hot" or "cold" before inserting a liquid, handles solids as well as liquids, and doesn't require you to even think where the theshold might lie between the "hot" and "cold" settings. Instead it just does its best to prevent an energy exchange in either direction without having to even know the variables involved. And the "same subroutine" is basically used fo…
Dijkstra’s EWDs are full of examples of thinking about problems mathematically instead of operationally and then deriving elegant procedures.
The time limit is one day to create an Earth simulator. They begin, and both furiously code away without taking any breaks. Near the end of the day, there is a power outage and their computers are shut off.
Power is quickly restored. Satan is aghast! "I lost all my work", he exclaims.
Jesus just smiles, types few commands, and continues coding where he left off... because everyone knows: Jesus saves.

The other day I was asking my data scientist brother if you run into this problem training DNN's (anyone: do you?), and ended up telling this one!
IIUC you generally train on a sliding window of most recent data. That or just keep adding GPUs...

Ugh this is why I hated logic problems in school. Anyone care to help a poor soul understand the meaning of this joke?
Seriously? The first hadn't heard from the others but wants a beer so can't deny the universal. The second hadn't heard the last but wants a beer so can't deny the universal. Neither the first or second could deny the universal so therefore they want beer and so does the last so that one can reply yes. /Sigh, I explained it. [Edit: and then noticed three others had already but I was too incensed to read beyond the as…
There are only 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
