I can program and I have a mechanical engineering degree but I have super niche skills so I can’t get hired abroad. I always read that there’s a skills shortage in tons of countries but there aren’t any actual jobs to take.

Their official phone app was, and still is, garbage. So I used a 3rd party app.

When Reddit killed API access, they did it in such a way that it killed that entire ecosystem abruptly. I’d have happily paid a small fee for API access to continue using the site, but no such option existed. Even at this point I’d still do it but that option still isn’t there in a way that’s useful.

After that, I found out that the 3rd party app i liked the most, Sync (on Android), had a Lemmy version. So I downloaded it to try it out. And here I am.

My wife didn’t typically game in the traditional sense, but games she’s enjoyed in the past are the older Mario games, the Sims, and project zomboid (which she describes as the Sims but with zombies).

She’s also got like 100 hours in power washing simulator and she’s too scared to try Stardew valley because she knows it’ll consume her life.

Never forget this masterpiece:

I get that there are solutions to the problem, but there’s no way a team of 10 can port 35 years of win32 dependence and keep the business solvent. Maybe incrementally, over the course of 10-15 years. We’re just now migrating off of .NET 4.8 because we use WCF so much.

Well, we all know what Anakin Skywalker thinks of this game.

It’s an adoption problem. My company only supports windows because all our customers use windows. All our customers use windows because all their vendors only support windows.

First thing I did when I heard it was required for win 11.

What’s the dew point at those temperatures?

Python is Spanish; a ton of people learned a bit in school and never picked it back up again. Places that speak it natively all have their own conventions because, even though the native languages were replaced by colonizers, a lot of the native languages patterns remained in place. Most places that speak it are super welcoming and stoked that you’re trying to learn.

Assembly is proto-indo-european

Can’t believe they showed one guy fucking another guys foreskin, that seemed really out of place

When you burn a disc it means using a laser to etch the data as pits and lands in a track on the disc. You’re physically changing the disc when you write to it.

This is terrible advice.

OP needs to set boundaries in a paper traceable way after establishing then in person (an email of “dear boss lady, I want to eat lunch alone, kthxbye”), and track violations of those boundaries (dear boss lady, today you sat with me at lunch after I asked you not to, please explain why). (Obviously be more professional).

Then after a few violations, OP can go to HR because suddenly the boss lady is starting the fire; there is a clear history of personal boundaries not being maintained, leading to a hostile work environment.

This only doesn’t work when the company is like 5 people and HR is your boss’s cousin or whatever.

I started using Python ~15 years ago. I didn’t go to school for CS.

Compared to using literally anything else at the time as a beginner, pip was the best thing out there that I could finally understand for getting third party code to work with my stuff, without copy paste… on Windows.

When I tried Linux, package managers and make were pretty cool for doing C/C++ work.

Despite all that, us “regular” engineers were consigned to Windows.

We either had to use VBA or a runtime that didn’t need to be installed.

Downloading a movie only to find it was the pain Olympics or a cartel/terrorist beheading was also fun

Do you think zero bills have been proposed? They all run into the Republican senate filibuster.

From other discussions I’ve seen, the guy stepping down was frustrated by having C code rejected that made lifetime guarantees more explicit. No rust involved. The patch was in service of rust bindings, but there was 0 rust code being reviewed by maintainers.
