I think the idea comes from “HDD slow,” as he was impressed with the speed it was happening at, especially if you think of it as requiring data to be moved around on the disk. It’s not really intuitive to think of it as just a table on the disk somewhere that says which regions belong to which partition, and having those regions be anywhere on the disk.
From the other side: I’m pro-union, but at my workplace I’m management.
One of the guys on my crew is terrible at his job. Just awful. Everyone hates working with him, he doesn’t get anything done on time, he’s either stupid or willfully ignorant, the list goes on and on.
The union, however, has negotiated that I can’t action for productivity. It literally doesn’t matter how badly he does his job, as long as he’s in his spot and something is happening, I can’t do anything. On top of that, this guy has seniority over most of the other guys on the crew, so I can’t even give him less hours without cutting the people who actually get shit done.
It’s incredibly frustrating, and the only thing I can do is watch his attendance like a hawk in the hopes I can get rid of him for being late one too many times.
For union dues, I’ll sometimes bring up strikes. People know that when unions strike, they aren’t working, and when they aren’t working, they aren’t getting paid. What they don’t realize is that most unions pay the employees during strikes, and that money has to come from somewhere.
Here in the United States, an ESA is a separate classification, distinct from a Service Animal or pet. You go to your psychiatrist with a mental or emotional problem, such as PTSD, and one of the things they may do is give you ESA documentation. Essentially, they prescribe you a cat or whatever.
ESAs usually are not restricted by species or breed, nor do they require any specific training, but the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) doesn’t have the same protections for them as for Service Animals. Businesses do not have to allow them access, for example, no matter how loudly Karen shouts. In practice, though, business owners really don’t want to fuck with the ADA, so they’d rather let fake ESAs in than risk getting in trouble over a proper Service Animal.
Not a problem. To elaborate on 3:
The place where the tactile pavement meets the regular pavement is a seam (the line where 2 things are joined into 1), not a crack (the line where 1 thing breaks into 2). The described path would have 8 seams at the places you mentioned, because there would be a tactile strip at each descent from and ascent onto curb, totalling 4, and each strip is surrounded by a seam that the pedestrian crosses twice, once entering the strip and once leaving.
Question 1: These surfaces are defined by having seams. So would it ever be right to rate them as ‘seamless’?
I would say that something like cobblestone could be called seamless if the overall ‘pattern’ flows throughout, and there isn’t any obvious place where it breaks. It’s not so much “more than the expected number” of seams, because there would be a seam there anyway, but a bigger picture idea of two separate stretches of cobblestone pattern meeting versus one unbroken cobblestone pattern.
Question 2: Tactile paving for blind people. Does that make a surface rough for you? In a way, that’s literally how this paving becomes tactile, right?
Yes, it’s rougher terrain, by definition, because it’s less smooth.
Question 3: A pedestrian crossing going over a traffic isle (but marked as one continuous path). Assuming otherwise perfect surfaces, does it have ‘cracks’ (since it goes over 4 curbs), and a ‘rough surface’ if it has tactile paving?
It has rough surfaces and smooth surfaces. Since the surfaces are otherwise perfect, they have no cracks.
Question 4: The marked entitiy is a wide area, not a narrow path. You’re asked to rate it’s surface quality. The area is mostly flat and smooth, but has some cracks and potholes in a few localized spots.
If there are cracks and potholes, it’s clearly not perfect, so don’t rate it as such regardless of the ease of finding a path. It’s also not bumpy, because it’s flat and smooth. You should rate it something like “mostly flat and smooth, but has some cracks and potholes in a few localized spots.” Probably 4/5, going off your description.
This is a Linux circle jerking community, so naturally Windows bad.
So do the people who say “check and mate.”
That seems fine to me. I’ve heard “check and mate” a bunch, so this isn’t too much of a stretch for me.
That makes sense to me.
Everyone has a type, even sleazeballs that hit on people they’re delivering food to. They’re bound to find some women that don’t appeal to them.
The base 60 part of time is the least-used part of it. Very few people care enough about exactly what minute or second it is and end up rounding it to the nearest 5 or 15 anyway.
The people who do care about having precision in seconds usually aren’t converting it to minutes or hours.
I didn’t know about Indiana Jones and the whole backstory behind this scene though.
My dude, you are missing out. Raiders of the Lost Ark and Last Crusade are fantastic. This scene is from Last Crusade.
Gotta watch for bears on the way to the moon, yo.
You add money to your steam wallet with a credit card, spend the money, then do a charge back on the credit card.
The capsules dissolve in water and have little animal-shaped sponges inside. They’re cute little gimmicks to make your 6-year-old’s head explode.
That, and have your parent accuse you of popping pills, it would seem. Don’t eat these, by the way.
For SSD’s, it’s 100% a logical table, because data is stored all over the place for load balancing purposes, so it already uses a logical table to keep track of what each block is for at any given point in time.
For HDD’s, historically they were physically separated, and they mostly are still, but there’s still a logical table, and there’s no reason the logical table can’t say “Blocks 0 through 1234 and 2000 are part of partition 1” if you have something somewhere else that you want on that partition.
