Gator Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 lack of professionalism. no matter how big or small the position is, if you're working or volunteering somewhere, you're held to a higher standard of behavior when dealing with customers/users/what-have-you. how high that standard goes might vary depending on the position you're in and the environment of the workplace, but there's a limit. rudeness should never be accepted in the name of "not being a robot". you don't have to be an emotionless bot to be courteous and friendly with the people you're working for; you can be as obnoxious as you want on your own time.

Mapa Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Just spent a couple hours trying to figure out what was wrong with some code I was working on. Only after that did I read a couple paragraphs down in the documentation where it basically told me "Oh yeah, that thing you're trying to do actually isn't possible with what you've been provided so far. Here's a special function that handles that case." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopaw Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 How I am literally the only one in class who is competent at CAD work. I got my head round the interface for autocad and inventor by reading the tool tips for the commonly used buttons (almost all autodesk programs have the ribbon UI that office 2010 came up with I think) as well as the layers dialogue. However the rest of the class are struggling and I think it is due to how they are being taught to use the command line on the bottom of autocad to enter coordinates for lines rather than press the button for that, 2 people are even offering me £15 to do work for them.

MalletFace Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 When news sources use mean over median when median would be a considerably more reasonable and useful summary. It might be forgivable when local or small-scale news sources do it, but I can't forgive it otherwise. A comparison of both would be good, but of course they won't. It is especially frustrating when news sources insist on using mean income as average income rather than median income when a government they like is in place and then switching to using median income as average income when a government they like is in place. In the U.S. that can be a difference of somewhere from $20,000 to $50,000 depending on how you define income, which is a big deal. A relative of mine discovered this today and described it as bullcrap, which I don't think is an inaccurate summary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuujou Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 If there is one thing I HATE about modern smart phones it is that they followed behind Apple in one specific thing. I don't care that they're touch screens now. I don't care that they're a bit more fragile. I don't care about not having a removable battery. I don't even care that some want to forego a headphone jack because Apple. What really pisses me the fuck off is that I cannot get into my phone and use it as a normal flash drive like I once could back in 2009. I remember when it was as easy as taking your USB, sticking it into the phone, and plugging it into the PC. You open the phone under your connected devices tab and you drag and drop files like any normal fucking human being wants to in the 21st century. Now, we have to have middle man apps that only make things slow, clunkier, and tedious for god knows why. Now I have to use worthless garbage like Samsung SideSync just to get stuff on and off my phone. I have to plug it in, let the app crash and not respond 3 and 4 times, force a worthless update even though it was working just fine 2 days ago when I last updated it and will not open because it just NEEEEEDS to update, and then I can tediously drag one file at a time on and off my phone's SD Card. And before any tech snobs wanna flex their flabby muscles, telling me "this is why you root your phone"... I'm not voiding my warranty on something I paid over $400 for. I don't care if "I can just unroot it and no one will ever know". I shouldn't have to just to put music on my phone. I want you to think how ridiculous that sounds. Should I hack my 3DS just to put games on an SD card? I literally am unable to. I attempted it and when I got to the first crucial step, I came to find out that my carrier actually REMOVES the required option from the phone. I don't understand why file transferring is such a taboo thing to allow customers these days. It's not even just phones. It's everything. From Apple products to Sony to Samsung. My friend refunded 3 different MP3 players because none of them transferred music how they should and were constantly giving him errors and being picky and slow about it. Even the Vita did this stupid shit. If we have to use these little apps, why can't they just emulate a simpler, faster, less complicated method of file transfer? Jesus Christ.

Because if you can, you could just get one of these: And then turn the phone off, yank card, drag and drop as normal, put the card back in.
