Ehh really depends on your boss. And honestly it depends on you also. If either of you can't separate work from personal time then you really shouldn't be hanging out. But for most of the bosses I've had, some lighthearted social time outside of work was perfectly fine.

All dogs are animals, not all animals are dogs.

From what I've seen, your $/h for any type of part-time software work is going to be very low.

You know who has no idea what the going rate is for a decent website? Small business owners. That's why they don't have one to begin with.

I've found that if you're going to freelance, you need to do it full time. Your going to be passed over if someone can do it twice as fast for the same rate, so you really have to slash your prices if you want any business.

IT side jobs don't really exist, especially if you're looking for cash. You'd almost be better off picking up a part time shift flipping burgers.

First I'm seeing it. That's the thing with reposts, the venn diagram of people who have seen it, and of people who have not seen it is rarely a circle.

Oh no! A statement which applies to the vast majority has some exceptions! Better break out the um-actually and technically-incorrect stamps.

As someone who has worked in IT, age has a strong negative correlation with tech literacy. Is every boomer tech illiterate? Of course not. Some boomers built the tech we use today. But most boomers are worse with tech than most ten year olds.

C# is .Net though. It's only syntax without it.

I think it's definitely a dig at windows, because that used to be the primary issue with c#, you could only really target windows and you could only write it using windows. You could run .net framework applications on Linux, but it was a lot of work and it really underperformed (which would fit the timeline of 2015, when this comic was first posted). Now with .net core you can make a self contained executable that can run on anything.

Congratulations on learning that words have no intrinsic meaning, and the dictionary is constantly changing. Prescriptive linguistics is a hopeless battle.

Dust is largely made of skin cells and fibers from our clothes and furniture. Since our clothes and furniture are containing more and more plastics and synthetics, I'd wager that our dust is noticeably different now than it was 30 years ago.

Honestly, there should be a yearly class like english, math and science for "general education". Like how to do taxes, basic first aid, how to apply for jobs/make a resume, what to expect when you rent an apartment, how and when you should seek therapy (and what it's like), how to manage stress in a healthy manner, and very basic cooking.

I'm betting it's not implemented because it's incredibly hard to standardize and test this kind of stuff. But a general ed class would be nice for these types of things that don't easily fit into another class.

Calculus is useful, but it's significantly less useful in an average person's daily life than knowing why their resume is getting instantly tossed in the trash at every single place they apply to.

People who are annoyed by types have never had to spend weeks of their life hunting for a missing property on an object.

Compilation errors are so much more preferable than finding out the same error at runtime.

I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I've never experienced this before in my entire life. Clearly you need to get out more /s

I've learned that those types of people it's often better to avoid conversations as much as possible, and change the subject as often as needed to avoid the cyclical debates.

It's very akin to reddit ~10 years ago. Grammar nazis, "um actually" and pedantic debates are everywhere. You just have to not engage and consistently remember the other guy is probably a sweaty nerd who cares way more than you do.

Please explain? After doing some quick googling, it looks like my interpretation is pretty accurate. But again this could be due to localized results. I'm not going to pretend all English speakers use the same words for the same things.

You could drop the hostility though.
