No, it doesn’t work that way on iOS in my experience. Swipe from the side of the screen is application-specific.

Swipe from left is always “go back to where you were previously” or “go back to the main menu of this application.” Swipe from right does nothing unless the application defines it.

The Independent’s feature might override an iOS browser’s “Forward” feature, if you already used the “Back” feature.

Reticulating splines

The pizza rodent was blurry, just like we remember

My company is not a place where you learn how to code, it’s a place where you learn all the stuff which you didn’t think you’d have to do as a software engineer.

This to me is actually the “secret” of software engineering: it’s frequently doing the stuff you didn’t think you’d have to do as a software engineer.

The hard part is often finding someone who can do both while also wanting to work at your company.

The graphics look nice. The colors remind me of the original Sonic the Hedgehog

What a cool idea!

I believe Tech hiring is more about ego of the hiring managers and team more than it is about hiring qualified people.

I’ve never been on a team or seen a team where this was the case. We just wanted people who could do the job well, and they were hard to find.

I actually don’t understand where manager/team ego ever fits in, as someone who hired a lot of bootcamp grads.

Not in the same way… which is the issue.

It’s a skilled profession, so ideally you want someone who is more skilled, and the person who has interest is more skilled.

It works similarly with other skilled professions like carpenters.

This has been my experience as well, since I started in community college in the early 2000s.

There is an unfortunately large difference in tech between a person who has an innate interest and someone who is checking the boxes to get and keep a job.

The first sentence of the article shows the problem.

For years, we heard about the tech talent shortage — that there were a glut of jobs and not enough bodies to fill them.

The problem wasn’t ever “bodies,” which people have always misunderstood. It’s qualified workers.

I worked in tech for a long time, at a bunch of different companies, and I never once worked anywhere that there was a glut of jobs and “not enough bodies” to fill them.

The people going into these careers includes a large number of people who want the money but aren’t qualified do what we’re looking for.

I couldn’t believe my luck, I usually happen upon these kinds of things way too late.

I may have actually gotten the last one. I love the clear plastic!

This is one of the many reasons I didn’t buy a fridge with a screen on it.

It seemed pretty obvious they were going to try and advertise something on it.

Same!! Toss Master gave me a chuckle

Rock doctoring!

Dr Matthews, also known as the “Toss Master”, told BBC Radio’s Good Morning Scotland that judges heard “rumours and murmurings of some nefarious deeds”.
“There was a little bit of stone doctoring,” he said.
"They had shaped it so that it was perfectly circular and fitted our three inch measurer.

It appears it didn’t matter, though, because the article doesn’t mention the winner as one of the rock doctors.

Do yourself a favor and don’t click through.

X is worse than YouTube comments were a decade ago. Just a total cesspool.

Oh definitely! Plus, tons of people who don’t have a full-on flagpole still hang a flag outside their house at all times.

The people who live across from me put up a comically-tall flagpole after Trump won last year… the first flag on it was a Trump flag. They now have an American flag up all the time (and it’s currently at half mast).

They’re all totally bizarre. Rarely have bad Americans announced themselves so clearly, right in front of their houses.

Yes, sadly. The same people still have it at half mast, and it’s 9/12.

People around here have also never put their flags at half mast for 9/11, they actually don’t put their flags at half mast for literally anything at their houses. Post offices, schools, government buildings, and some businesses, yeah. Houses, no.

So this is extremely performative for certain conservatives.

My town too. Most flags at houses are being flown at full mast.

Like, flying a flag at all is questionable at best but it’s nice to know that most people clearly don’t care.
