ISP mitm sounds infuriating

I guess it wasn’t about the price for you then

I use borg

When I was a kid, this book was fun

isn’t it too good to be true? where is the catch?

try ordering by new, the active ordering will show old threads if people are still commenting on them

and that’s a good thing, on reddit you kind of can’t keep a conversation as the threads die too fast

this could probably run all lemmy instances in a little corner of its ram

One anecdote to illustrate the point: On my last job, I was initially directly chosen by upper management that was my former boss in another company. The HR interviewer blocked me anyway, the higher ups hired me as a contractor for a year, and only them they hired me directly

Now you mention it, maybe people with a better interview/offer rate are also doing a better job on not wasting time with positions they aren’t a great fit? I get interested when they ask me about things I used only a little before, so I end doing a lof of these

I suspect that some interviews are just to say they interviewed X people before they chose someone

I already live in a low cost country, so moving to a cheaper place wouldn’t work

Some professional help is probably a good idea. My CV is probably not a big part of the problem, it’s getting me those interviews, maybe it gets me interviews for the wrong jobs. As I’m never sure what I want to do, I could make it look like I am all about stack X, and in the next morning I feel like I want to do some Y, and I get a call from someone that wants something to be done on K, on which I only had experience in a 3 months project and left some mention of it there.

I do that, and it saves me a lot of time with things ending on the screening call. I’m tempted to write all this stuff in my resume / linkedin so I don’t even waste time with the screening. It’s easier now I’m already employed, it will probably be harder when I really need another job

I loved this analogy, it works for old languages as old movies, some characteristics as movie genres and to explain there is not just one and only right language, and that people would have different preferences.

I’m asking mostly out of curiosity, but I had a use case that I would like to completely avoid a build step. At work we have a very old web interface, that when I attempt to sell the idea of any major improvement the answer is “this is end of life, we are rewriting it”. But the rewrite will take a long time, and it is easier to make gradual improvements without introducing new tooling. This one is from the 90s, there the JS is in a folder and is shipped as is.

Thanks, I found this book and a lot of papers about it on this site: http://algorithmicbotany.org/

I did some experimenting on that direction, but stopped at this weird thing. The way I’m doing it would be too slow with more than one tree

It is recursively changing the angle at random and shrinking the size. I dunno if that would count as a L-system, the wikipedia article for L-system has too much math that I don’t understand

I am a fellow organic food ingesting, carbon based human, using my meat based appendices to slowly communicate with other carbon based humans on the public network. While I type this my meat based appendices are getting very tired, because I totally had to use mechanical movements to close electrical circuits in a very inneficient way to send signals to a computer

There is a bot posting ai generated stuff on my server, but this is my normal account, to post normal human things

About the third point, the performance of your JavaScript code can be worse if it’s broken down into several small files rather than a single, bundled file. When a browser encounters a script tag linking to an external JavaScript file, it makes an HTTP request to fetch that file. This process occurs for each separate file. Each HTTP request involves time for network latency, server processing, and data transfer.

I’m usually preferring typescript too, but this point got me curious. I’m guessing it wasn’t an honest point, almost everywhere I look people are still using a build step, and I didn’t notice any move in a different direction

Whenever I tested something that sounds great yet it is slow to get adoption I end learning a reason why it it’s not growing. It’s good to learn what the reason is before you spend a lot of time on it
