Lmao but why? Are Polish folks especially concerned about the bathroom habits of their elders?!

Edit to add: before even knowing what it meant this one was my favorite.

Wait those are distinct?! Holy shit. And since Microsoft owns GitHub, that’s even less clear. Unbelievable.

Interesting, I posted a top level comment to you but you’re already doing some similar things to what I posted.

I like to ask candidates to tell me about a design pattern, or a framework, or a coding principle that they really appreciate and which changed how they think about or write code. It’s an open-ended way to show me they care about the craft.

People who find the field interesting and somewhat fun (AKA not just lucrative) usually have these kinds of preferences or paradigm-shifting moments / learnings. People who can’t come up with anything for this question tend to be real junior or just in it for the wrong reasons. Or so I tell myself, anyway.

I think Lenovos are kinda renowned as good candidates for Linux laptops, though I’m not knowledgeable enough to talk models and such. Go for it!

You’re great and you should feel great!

FWIW I shifted my monthly Wikipedia donation to The Internet Archive recently and recommend others do the same. Just a few bucks a month, please, it matters. Zero hate for Wikipedia, it’s a critically important piece of human culture, but they’re plenty good on $ and we need to be fostering backups of shared knowledge and historical records. This is important! No one will do it for us, only we who care can do it!

If there’s any new Lemmy users here, coming from Reddit (feel like I’m opening a seance), and if you’re wondering what else you might decide to change during this era of change -

Try Linux! It’s easy now, and frankly just better :)

Thanks for pointing this out, I had no idea. Removed it and left a review complaining.

Fair enough, I can imagine that pretty easily.

I get lots of mileage out of Hanlon’s Razor, and I acknowledge the rampant incompetence that suggests its applicability, but digital security seems like about the least appropriate place to apply this rule of thumb.

Probably time to start spinning up some shit like that, actually. Keep an eye on a broad index of salient search terms / hashtags, watch for dropouts.

That’s pretty crazy, good to know. We had a hard time hiring a “cloud engineer” last year ourselves, though for the client in question we were looking for deep Azure chops. I’ve been learning some Terraform for this reason so we can respond a bit better, sounds like I might be well served to focus on it. Feel like DM’ing with salaries / offers you’ve been hearing about, if you have?

Hmm really? Would proficiency with Terraform and knowledge of the services offered by at least one major cloud provider be considered “cloud server orchestration skills” or do you mean something more/different?

You just blew my MF mind.

I don’t mean a literal work output “quota”, that’s what I meant with layers of abstraction. A better question to ask yourself is how many Americans live paycheck to paycheck? The expensive nature of the modern world, the difficulty in being paid well enough to achieve not just stability but some personal forward progress - getting the resources for these is what I mean about needing to hit a “quota”.

What proportion of Americans are unable to hit the quota, described this way? What are the consequences, both to them and to wider society? Pretty bad situation, reminds me of just more complicated/obfuscated, “fuzzier” feudalism.

Can’t forget the terrible consequences of failing to meet “quota” (make enough to pay the bills).

But thanks for pointing this out, it really is similar, just with enough layers of abstraction to make the structure hard to see.

Dead Prez been radical and vocal about social and political issues since long before everyone else got there. Music is probably dated by now but their messages have always been consistent and they are very applicable today.

Hotdang, nailed it first try!
