Hey, I'm a PhD in [field] and do [whatever] professionally. Before calling you, I've narrowed down the problem to [something on their end], so that's what needs to be addressed. If I could speak to an engineer about [specific problem], that'd be great; but if we've gotta walk through the script, let's just knock it out quickly. If they end up requiring the script, then the best way to use your expertise is to run through it quickly. Keep the chit-chat to a minimum and just do the stuff efficiently. If they start describing how to perform some step, you might interrupt them with, "Got it, just a sec.", then let them know once you're ready for the next step.

However, what speaks against just straight up telling them that you're working as [Insert title of your position] and you know what you're talking about?

In one of my internship, I got to befriend a level 2 tech support, so learned a couple thing of how it worked (in that company). Level 1 was out-sourced, and they had a script to go from, regularly updated. From statistics, this took care of 90% of issues. Level 2 was a double handful of tech people, they had basic troubleshooting tools and knowledge and would solve 90% of the remaining issues. Level 3 was the engineering department (where I was), and as a result of level 1 and 2 efficiency less than 1% of issues ever got escalated. The process worked!

OP is referring to letting people know they can speak like proper adults when talking about technical terms, without going through the usual nanny-like discourse that tech support has to provide to non-techies. For instance, it happened to me with Amazon support. The speaker told me exactly where to touch in order to clear the cache of the Android Amazon App Store. Given that I work as an app developer the guy could have just said "please clear the cache". No need to go through "tap here, then here, now you should see this, tap that"...

I have tried different tactics of showing the tech support that I am proficient in their field of work (I work as a web developer). Specifically: using accurate terms and technologies to show my knowledge of them and telling the support that I am the "administrator" of the website in question.

How to let tech support subtly know that I am proficient without showing off?

Unfortunately the tech support people you are speaking to are probably as frustrated as you are at having to go through the basic stuff with you.

Large companies especially deal with the massive volume of tech support calls they receive by employing some staff on lower pay as a "buffer," dealing with simple or "known" issues so that they don't need to employ as many higher paid "second line" support staff.

Very often the first people you get through to on tech support lines are reading from a script.

Here’s a really neat editor for those from Mads Stoumann (which works for circles and ellipses as well):

/* referencing path from an inline SVG */ clip-path: url(#c1);

They don't look like advertisements. The second the recipient interprets your email as an ad, promotion, or sales pitch—and it does take just a second—its chances of being read or acted upon plummet towards zero. A plain email leads people to start reading it before jumping to conclusions.

Getting started

one of the oldest problems was the use of Command-line interactive programs in UNIX shell-scripts

I also added --return and used long options, to make this command a little less inscrutable:

But floats are still useful and relevant! In fact, we have to use them for the shape-outside property to work.

vertical-align: -50%;

We also include a large number of detailed picture examples, often with 3D renders, that help you understand the context of the rules. For these reason, we generally don't start laying out the final rulebook until production art is complete. Writing and laying out a 20 page rule book like this generally takes about 3 months from start to finish, usually requiring a complete rewrite or two, and involves dozens of editors.

fill_in('Foo', with: 'bar', fill_options: { clear: :backspace })

reduce(root){@1[@2]||={}}

data = {}.extend XKeys::Auto # Vs ::Hash, uses arrays for int keys data[:users, 0, :name] # nil data[:users, 0, :name, :raise => true] # KeyError data[:users, :[], :name] = 'Matz' # :[] is next index, 0 in this case # {:users=>[{:name=>"Matz"}]} pick = [:users, 0, :name] data[*pick] # Matz data[:users, 0, :accesses, :else => 0] += 1 # {:users=>[{:name=>"Matz", :accesses=>1}]}

Review changes

ow you have the extension up and running. It's time to start annotating some documents.

Thanks for review. Please post also to protondb.com to help users and devs there...

My preference here is biased by the fact that I spend everyday at work building web components, so Svelte's approach feels very familiar to slots in web components.

You can’t use @supports for selectors, only property/values (e.g. @supports (display: flex))

The TreeWalker API gives you only the #text Nodes, and then you do what you want with them.

Modelling the flow of a program where chunks of code are executed in a certain order, with a successful “happy path” and an “error-out” path is called a Railway. It popped up in functional languages

This is the most popular article “railway oriented programming” on one of the most popular websites of F #.

The new 2.1 version comes with a few necessary but reasonable changes in method signatures. As painful as that might sound to your Rails-spoiled ears, we preferred to fix design mistakes now before dragging them on forever.

A “warning” signal is sent first, then, after a timeout, a “kill” signal, similar to the way init(8) operates on shutdown.

if the process does not react on a normal kill, you may want to add an additional kill -9 a few seconds afterwards.

We can ask timeout to try to stop the program using SIGTERM, and to only send in SIGKILL if SIGTERM didn’t work. To do this, we use the -k (kill after) option. The -k option requires a time value as a parameter.

Examples of different ways of defining forms

For the usage in society, see Second-class citizen.

In programming language design, a first-class citizen (also type, object, entity, or value) in a given programming language is an entity which supports all the operations generally available to other entities. These operations typically include being passed as an argument, returned from a function, modified, and assigned to a variable.

In computer science, a programming language is said to have first-class functions if it treats functions as first-class citizens.

Some people believed I argued that object orientation is bad simply because extends has problems, as if the two concepts are equivalent. That's certainly not what I thought I said, so let me clarify some meta-issues.

I think maybe the terms we're using are a bit confusing.

Launched in 2008, our breakthrough reading app, Reading Eggs, has been used by over 3.4 million users in 169 countries.

Finding clientsFinally, we were at the moment of truth. Luckily, from our user interviews we knew that companies were posting on forums like Reddit and Craigslist to find participants. So for 3 weeks we scoured the “Volunteers” and “Gigs” sections of Craigslist and emailed people who were looking for participants saying we could do it for them.Success!We were able to find 4 paying clients! 

if it's not broken, fix it until it is.

Tippy provides first-class support for touch devices. Tooltips can be tricky to get right on touch devices because of the nature of touch input.

This is a by-product of the success of Ubuntu. Whether people like it or not, most software available for Linux will target Ubuntu first. There may be packages available later for other distros / systems, but on the whole, you can be sure a software developer will target Ubuntu if they target Linux.

At the start this is hard to get right, and bad practices will sneak into the codebase.

But then, I still want to upgrade my dependencies from time to time, in a painless way. I recommend checking Renovate which handles JavaScript and Ruby dependencies auto updating. Use it.

Obviously we shouldn't rush into anything. But changes like these are best made earlier on in a project's lifecycle, so I'm eager to hear what people think so that we can start making some progress.

Also, if you don't put that implementation of URLSearchParams in the global scope you're not using it as a polyfill but a ponyfill, and those are meant for your code, not for external dependencies.

We could freeze the objects in the model but don't for efficiency. (The benefits of an immutable-equivalent data structure will be documented in vtree or blog post at some point)

In these two languages, the "Function is a first-class citizen, which allows for aggregation of behaviors outside of the class.

We can treat navigation as a first-class concept, even encoding state transitions in links.

Most people seem to follow one of two strategies - and these strategies come under the umbrella of tree-traversal algorithms in computer science.

There are work arounds, but nothing clean. I just feel like this should be functionality that should be part of the slot feature.

Another problem I ran into was knowing when an element is removed. I had to add a MutationObserver on the current tooltip target so if it gets removed by Svelte while the tooltip is visible (e.g. if a click moves to another route) the tooltip isn't left hanging around on the screen. No mouseleave/mouseout events are dispatched on elements that are removed.

The feature is highly likely to be implemented, the API and implementation are the only real topics of discussion right now.

6to5 attempted to ship a quick and dirty TDZ static checking feature but had to retract it immediately afterwards due to various bugs in the algorithm.
