fuck

when actually everyone knows engineering is all about being able to negotiate precisely which snacks and soft drinks go in the office break room

it depends on what you make. Margins on food, farming, automobiles, oil and gas, medical devices tend to be pretty small, comparatively speaking. Which are all fairly critical industries.

there’s one layer missing, which is that the US widget makers make their widgets from ingredients and components that don’t exist in the US, if you put a tarrif on everything, you can’t make a $12 US widget any more because widget juice now costs twice as much

You change some code and send it in, you add a cover letter explaining what you did and why. The Linux guy wants you to write more detailed cover letters when you do.

edit: wrote this before reading the article. he actually just wants people to write using active voice instead of passive.

I’m not actually a programmer (/engineer) I’m just a hobbyist. I work in supply chain, have worked at 4 companies in 8 years - all had stand ups, all of them are like this.

The purpose of stand up is to not listen to anything and say a sentence that no one listens to. It’s like a Buddhist meditation.

as a complete layman and hobbyist i also personally think that “more pythonic” coding can sometimes be more confusing.

I dont think any beginner reads “j for j for i in k” and instantly gets it.

maybe unpopular opinion idk

USAA has 8-12 ONLY. My smallest memorized password algorithm is 13 characters, that I typically use for throwaways, doesn’t even fit.

I would also add that you need to explain out-of-home steps, too.

I’m not an idiot but I didn’t go to school for compsci or similar and I don’t do it as a job. So frequently the instructions will go

• Get your IP address by entering this command
• Type your IP address in this line
• Now forward any chosen port to your proxy of choice and don’t forget to check your firewall settings!

My sibling in Eris, most people dont know any of those words.

I’m just being a silly billy it’s not directed at you.

It’s more like “ah if only there was a simple solution that could’ve been used.”

All images are hosted somewhere, I would consider an intern fresh out of college know how to correctly add an image to an email, or at least only be told once if somehow they had never seen this before.

yeah it uses this really neat semantic rendering programming language for serving structured documents across servers

It’s a bit tricky, but anyone with at least a Masters in CompSci should be able to parse some of it enough to get the gist. Bear in mind that the “source” is abbreviated to src, and “image” similarly. The rest is coding that gives the computer instructions, you’ll also need to replace FILENAME in the code with the actual filename. It goes like this

<img src="FILENAME" /> 

Let me know if I can explain it more clearly.

I leave space in my resume template, and every job I run through chatgpt for a list of skills. Add them in, spin up a cover letter same process and send.

.top is cheap right now and much easier to make into a phrase

Yes, it’s actually to notify people who aren’t part of countries with membership to the WTO of the first available year of public declaration of distribution without restriction, however, putting “1997” on your website makes it look old so people put current year to make it look new.

It’s only legally distinct in Aruba, Eritrea, Kiribati, Micronesia, North Korea etc… so it’s almost entirely useless.

I meant it’s a red flag if someone can’t spin up the code and is making an intern change it by hand every year.

it’s probably a red flag if your website can’t do currentYear() in the footer.

yeah every engineer knows you gotta set KidHeadKnuckleballClearance waaay higher than that, it’s compsci 101

I did Google that fwiw and the answer I got was that sparse autoencoders work so that it checks the output aligns with the input

If it’s unknowable if the input is correct, won’t it still be subject to outputting confidently incorrect information

ok fair, I meant - via synecdoche - the cluster of (or lack of) employment laws that make things flexible for employers works both ways.

It is very different in countries with strict employment laws

it literally says they were fired for using a mouse jiggler.

However, I live in a so-called right-to-work state, which means my employer can do whatever the fuck they like - but the flip side is - so can I.

The contract I signed doesn’t mention which or how many hours I work, just that I don’t disclose privileged information to competitors.
