Content Three words. Eight letters Say it and I'm yours. Dammit Linda why does it have to be this? You know there are (-25 ways to just partition 8 letters into 3 words, and that's disregarding empty strings. On top of that there's 268 possibilities for those 8 letters. And that's only the lowercase English alphabet as well. What if it has capitals, symbols, heck, even Roman Numerals as well? Can you at least tell me which alphabet we're working with here? Because if it's just the English one then I'm not sure you're worth the 4176541291520 guesses. Giving me computationally hard problems is a bad way to start a relationship Linda.

Content Employee claims she can't use Microsoft Windows for "Religious Reasons". gets IT to provide laptop with Linux. rAskHR Posted by u-puppy-guppy- 19 hours ago 6 Policy Procedures UPDATEGA Employee claims she can't use Microsoft Windows for "Religious Reasons" Original Post UPDATE: After many meetings yesterday with management, HR, legal, and IT we decided to give her a shot. IT is working to come up with a configuration for her that we will also make available to other employees who want to use it. HR and Legal felt that although she is able to request accommodations for a sincerely held religious belief, this would have been an undue hardship to the company and it would be ok for us to deny her request. But ultimately we decided that she can still fulfill job requirements without Windows! That's pretty much it. Thank you for all the helpful advice Reddit!

Ah, the eternal quest for the perfect search engine—a journey more convoluted than trying to explain to your mom why her computer is slow. This flowchart perfectly captures the existential crisis of modern developers. On one path, you've got the vector search hipsters who think they're too cool for regular search (spoiler: they are). Then there's the keyword search folks desperately seeking fault-tolerance like it's the last slice of pizza at a dev meetup. My personal favorite is the "petabytes of logs" branch. Do you really need so many logs? Well... YES . Because nothing says "I'm a serious engineer" like hoarding data you'll never actually look at. And then there's the person who just wants Google without the AI hallucinations. Sorry buddy, wrong flowchart—but I feel your pain. We all miss the days when search results weren't trying to predict your existential crises. The real genius here is how accurately it portrays our decision-making process: a chaotic mess of technical requirements, personal preferences, and completely arbitrary choices that somehow ends with us picking whatever was mentioned in that conference talk we half-listened to last month.
