I would like to bring everyone's attention on his top notch new signature
pysxul | 6 years ago | on: Comedian changes name to Hugo Boss to challenge trademark law
He did it because Hugo boss is suing tons of small business with a name including "BOSS" in order to hurt them financially.

I was in the same situation. I simply asked if I could use intelliJ instead and then copy-paste everything in google doc at the end. The interviewer was ok with that.

I'm French and I moved to the UK because of my country actually being overtaxed. raised my salary by 40%. But I agree on the horribly dysfunctional though

> We need cars to go electric, etc.
Marketing is once again far from the truth, check how co2 expensive producing a battery is. Then couple that with the fact that you need let's say 20 years of normal use of a car to "paybacck" that co2 footprint (comparing to an oil car).
Last one is : are you going to keep that same electric car for 20 years?

It kind of depends, not every task are the same. you won't review a trivial change the same way as a brand new feature.
Let's take for instance the fictional case of adding a list of website to a whitelist.txt. Maybe the source file had thousands of websites to be added. Anyone could add or remove some in the middle and no one would ever know
It looks good when you review it. but there is no way to check the data integrity (at review time), you can only rely on the good faith of your coworkers.
I am not saying that's what happened but this is a good example of how anyone could sneak-in arbitrary code that pass the code review.

pysxul | 6 years ago | on: Nearly half of American workers have low-wage jobs
there is a big lack of information in theses poor written 20 lines, and probably misleading on purpose.
- Are theses low-wage jobs only considering full time jobs? - What about student jobs? - If some people have multiple part-time jobs but all of them individually fall under the median annual wages of $18,000, then they are increasing the statistics

pysxul | 6 years ago | on: Boris Johnson uses search terms in interviews to hide negative articles?
French here, I second this.
- Jacques Chirac had an affair
- Francois Holland also had one (quite funny he would sneak out on a motorbike to visit his mistress)
- There is growing rumours on Emmanuel Macron being secretly Gay and being married to Brigitte is a cover
On a side note, someone personal life choices has no impact on their work as politicians so that kind of "scandal" are not that big of a deal in France. It only increase the sales of gossip magazines.
