But do you condemn Hamas?

Asking for a Linux (or non-Windows) laptop during a job interview?

I’m interviewing for a software dev job currently (it’s in the initial stages). If things work out, I’d absolutely prefer a work laptop with Linux installed (I personally use PopOS but any distro will do), a Mac will be second choice, but I absolutely cannot tolerate Windows, I abhor it, I hate it… (If all computers left...

SpaceNoodle ,

It’s not a weird thing to ask during the interview. It would be a weird thing to request, but not to enquire about.

SpaceNoodle ,

I’d enquire during the interview and request when accepting the offer (or during onboarding). Don’t ask me for a laptop while I’m still interviewing. It’s an interview. I’m not giving you shit.

SpaceNoodle ,

Congratulations, you’ve invented fusion.

Are there any communities on Lemmy where bilingual people can communicate or practice? Specifically French.

I speak French as a second language (not fluently) and I am trying to find somewhere on Lemmy where people who speak French as a first or second language could communicate with me and people with a similar interest. At my level, just trying to go to French Lemmy instances or communities isn’t practical, the proficiency...

SpaceNoodle ,

Non

SpaceNoodle ,

Yeah, the bullets probably just showed up inside those people by accident.

SpaceNoodle ,

No, they were probably just spraying bullets in that direction for no reason when some Palestinians wandered through.

SpaceNoodle ,

Is that supposed to be better, somehow?

SpaceNoodle ,

It’s in quotes, so they don’t really mean it.

Anything is edible until you eat too much of it.

Some AI models get more accurate at maths if you ask them to respond as if they are a Star Trek character, ML engineers say (www.businessinsider.com)

SpaceNoodle ,

Go watch Star Trek IV first

SpaceNoodle ,

But then all it can do is multiply.

SpaceNoodle ,

Then go watch it second

SpaceNoodle ,

Sure, how often will I get paid? Can I do this from home?

SpaceNoodle ,

Yeah, it’s over.

No

SpaceNoodle ,

No, I’d have to use Word to notice.

SpaceNoodle ,

What a coincidence, I don’t use any of that software.

SpaceNoodle ,

Then what the fuck are they doing in there?

SpaceNoodle ,

For thirty-three years?

The ancient Roman is what?

SpaceNoodle ,

“Because quantum” always feels like new-age woo-woo bullshit.

It’s more likely just too vague to define.

I like the sponge smell

SpaceNoodle ,

I get a dopamine rush fucking sponges.

Are there any Windows-exclusive programs you use?

I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise...

SpaceNoodle ,

Only for very specific terrible chip vendor software which I hate but have no choice but to use because certification reasons.

SpaceNoodle ,

I’m disappointed either way

SpaceNoodle ,

Are these what you wear when you need to not poop for three days?

SpaceNoodle ,

Don’t need to worry about bump stocks if you don’t have guns to attach them to.

SpaceNoodle ,

Are you going to pick up other ingredients at the Bread Clinic and Cheese Clinic or are you just focusing on condiments first?

SpaceNoodle ,

Please respect my personal space and refrain from tickling me.

It’s No Surprise That “Skills-Based” Hiring Has Not Worked (www-forbes-com.cdn.ampproject.org)

This article outlines an opinion that organizations either tried skills based hiring and reverted to degree required hiring because it was warranted, or they didn’t adapt their process in spite of executive vision....

I built sites in PHP before I knew any Python.

All of my personal web stuff is now based on Flask. I basically just replaced the P in LAMP with Python.

SpaceNoodle ,

Y’all keep asking that. Yes, this was a while ago. Did they completely start over from scratch with 8? Otherwise, the clusterfuck is only growing.

SpaceNoodle ,

I’m not going to dig up decades-old code for you to pick over - but I do recall that the labyrinthian and ever-increasingly complex and buggy behavior of the multitudinous builtins was an undending pain in the ass.

SpaceNoodle ,

The problem is that PHP is inherently spaghetti.

SpaceNoodle ,

Using any of the builtins is incorrect usage, apparently.

SpaceNoodle ,

It makes me shudder to think how the modern web is just treating browsers as JavaScript application environments. Converting a little backend load into a massive frontend headache is the exact opposite of where we thought we were headed twenty years ago.

SpaceNoodle ,

It’s sacrificing efficiency on the frontend for the backend. It makes the backend easier to test, while making the frontend more complex. It significantly jacks up requirements for the clients while reducing them for the host.

You backend people are forgetting that there are devices on the other end that need to process and render this bullshit. It sells more new iPhones, though, so who the fuck cares?

SpaceNoodle ,

My point is that the JavaScript is inherently inefficient.

The possibility that you might suck less than someone else doesn’t fix that fact, or the fact that the modern web can bring a ten-year-old tablet to its knees.

SpaceNoodle ,

And both are complete clusterfucks, so it’s not that surprising.

But at this point it’s literally just a case of “old man yells at cloud.”

SpaceNoodle ,

More than PHP and JavaScript?

SpaceNoodle ,

By considering all aspects of a system, and identifying bottlenecks?

SpaceNoodle ,

Did you already forget the prior thread?

SpaceNoodle ,

Maybe go back and reread the thread, buddy.

SpaceNoodle ,

PHP and JavaScript are widely derided. What planet are you on?

SpaceNoodle ,

Look, I get it. You have no idea what the computer is actually doing when it runs your little scripts.
