Only 21%??? 😱

Fun fact - did you know that the fishy taste is in fact a result of oxidation? Fish oil should ideally be tasteless. Another fun fact - Typically, fish oil capsules take longer to oxidise than liquid fish oil, hence the frequently strong fishy taste in liquid fish oil, yet tasteless capsules...

I mean, why not just go on a bug bounty programme instead, and maybe hack with permission of companies (ie ethical hacking) as opposed to attempting to gain unauthorised access?

💯 My father always used to tell me that hackers are often hired as they have proven their skills the bad way. I’m just like - really? 😳 That’s a red flag regarding trustworthiness right there 🤦‍♀️ LOL! Often teenagers think they’re smartarses but it is just some silly fault, as most software...

Indeed, and I’ve recently started a ritual to walk and eventually run backwards on a treadmill (note that same speeds backwards feel faster than forwards) to both physically and mentally challenge myself. I find myself constantly readjusting my balance and notice it perhaps because we aren’t...

…and another Bog Bang theory?

@danky thanks for sharing! Out of curiosity was this a bug related to the soundbar ? I wonder how 5.1 surround is even relevant to CEC? The most recent bugs I noticed were on websites of companies I was interviewing for as a software engineer LOL! You’d be unsurprised to learn that they were...

Backend for web I imagine, right, given you mention cloud? Do you use Java Spring framework ? I remember that being complex in comparison to more modern backend frameworks. Javascript CAN be used on the backend, but its frameworks are typically used on the frontend, with RESTful API calls to a...

I realise financial services use Java heavily in trading. What type of dev did you do e.g. web/mobile/etc ?

I wonder if it’s also bad for the brain? Given that the substances ingested inside the body reach the brain?

Thanks for sharing this! Indeed, I didn’t know this!

Do you generally prefer watching over reading articles?

Also, no need to apologise! I find it quite funny that Python is known to be a beginner’s language, yet in my old role, a pretty senior software engineer experienced in PHP and Javascript struggled with Python! 🤦‍♀️ Each to their own, I suppose :P My first programming language was Java, for...

I was under the impression Java is becoming less and less common these days, at least for backend web development? What niche do you use Java for at work?

You just reminded me of something… they recommend fish oil be refrigerated to prevent it turning rancid, though not strictly required. I just googled it - I discovered they also recommend oils be refrigerated to delay oxidation, too.
