Back in May 2012, Rarity asked about how we should deal with bad or "me too" answers:
Do we need a policy on bad/"me too" answers?
More recently, bad deleted posts pushed one of enderland's questions in to CW mode causing much gnashing of teeth:

Handshake for a logo, like this:
Or water cooler, like this:
I think it's safe to say that more of us were more happy with Jin's first presentation of our site's logo and style than the second attempt.
The new abstract logo based on several superimposed pushpin graphics at varying angles isn't growing on some of us.

I've experienced future managers acting professionally and courteously while trying to recruit me, then turning out to be abrasive and unprofessional after joining. I gather this is quite common.
How can I improve my judgement, and better discern how managers will behave before I join a company?

I'm relatively new to C, and found it intriguing that both of the following calls to the function pointer compile and work fine. One with and one without dereferencing the function pointer before calling it.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void func() {
puts("I'm a func");

I'm two months into a job as a software developer, building mobile apps. I received a new desktop a few days ago, value around US$1K. Today the company asked me to sign an 'Asset Lending Agreement' (I haven't signed yet). The agreement states that I should compensate the company in case the deskt...
