I’m gonna be looking for a new job soon and I’ve been reading stuff like this more & more. Makes me really scared. I guess reaching out to recruiters directly via LinkedIn is more important than ever. I also hope the AI software hasn’t made its way down to small/medium-sized companies yet, since those are the ones I’d rather work for anyways

I was hoping this would allow me to take over Bluetooth speakers that people use while skiing and replace their music with a PSA about how no one wants to hear their music

Most annoying people on the mountain

Windows + . to bring up emoji keyboard

Various Linux DEs have emoji keyboards too, I know KDE does

The ORIGINAL source code is copyrighted, but decompiling does not give you the original source code. Decomp tools give you generic variable names like unsigned_int_4 and then it’s up to you to decipher what the purpose of the variable even is and give it a relevant name. So it’s virtually impossible you’ll get a character-for-character match to the original.

Also, decomps have different levels of accuracy. You may get something that is a perfect behavioral match, even though there’s differences in the instructions being run. You may get an instruction-perfect match but not a byte-perfect match between the binaries.

IANAL but this is what I’ve learned from following decomp projects on YouTube

Computer science is more of a math degree than anything else

I imagine they poached a lot of Spacex engineers by simply telling them “we won’t make you work ungodly hours, nor will we subject you to a narcissistic manchild with no engineering education dropping in on your meetings and trying to tell you how to do your job”

Not sure if you noticed, or if sorghum noticed, but the link about dried beans they had in their reply refers to another blog post about your question. The author found that yes, homemade bread is cheaper when considering electricity costs, but obviously YMMV depending on power costs and the price of equivalent store-bought bread

This happens to me too, especially when it’s a computer that I haven’t used in a while, which makes me think that yeah it’s the arms race. It stops once my browser is open long enough for uBO to update

I like front ends so I have a record of what I have and have not played, and so I can easily pickup where I left off with series and playlists, but to each their own

It’s a beautiful hat, gorgeous hat. Some are even saying it’s the greatest hat ever made

??? the Mario movie was good. I think Hollywood as a whole is doing a lot better with video game adaptations now (let’s not talk about Borderlands), like everyone expected the Minecraft movie to crash & burn but it turned out to be a fun movie for anyone who played the game a decent amount

I found about him from the documentary “Searching for Sugar Man”. I now play his two albums quite often. His first one is nice & upbeat, while his second one is more melancholy, so I play whichever fits the mood

My favorite song is probably Hate Street Dialogue

My attitude was: If I’m going to spend money on the digital deluxe edition of the game, I’m sure as hell going to get my money’s worth.

By admitting to the sunk cost fallacy, you’ve really only proven my point. You’re gonna find ways to defend the game more than you should, unconsciously or not.

I know it’s hard, but in this current era of live service games recording metrics beyond just purchased copies of the game, you should vote with your play time, regardless of how much you’ve already put into the game.

Tbh this is also the attitude of cod players who stuck around after the BO6 release. Warzone especially took a huge step backwards. 20 Hz server-side updates for a battle royale game is pretty sad

HELL YEAH, DEFINITELY GONNA DO A DRY RUN OF MY TAXES!!

lol that happened?

A few other people mentioning precise GPA requirements, but for the computer science school at my (large) university it was top 10% of your class for cum laude, top 5% for magna cum laude, top 2% for summa cum laude

As someone who graduated cum laude, I sorta regret it. I wish I spent more time socializing, networking, and generally managing my anxiety better. I was able to land a job after graduating sooner than a lot of my classmates, but I also had some internships and some personal projects under my belt, so it’s hard to say how much GPA played a role. It all comes down to what’s important to you, your field, and how much work you’d be willing to put in after graduating to get your first job

Heathcliff is my personal favorite one-panel comic

Using an RSS app like Feedly to subscribe to different comics can be fun. Also comics communities on Lemmy

I never used Pocket itself, but I do like having the grid of news articles on the new tab page, which I believe is powered by Pocket in some shape or form. Anyone know if that feature is going away too?
