A lot of importing is so abstracted away from the end consumer, as well.

Edit: hell, I don't even know if she's single!

Then ask lol.

Asking someone you haven't seen in 20 years if they're with someone now is actually a normal topic of conversation.

What would you have them do, retcon the entire premise of the first?

Almost like a small cult or something you'd say?

I am the mother of a sex offender in c/goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 38 points 2 days ago (4 children)

She isn't a cruel person and she loves people, especially children.

This has got to be satire. You did not just genuinely end your post about your daughter getting charged with possession CSAM with saying she loves children.

Live coding interviews measure stress, not coding skils in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 3 days ago

I'm sorry, but as an interviewer I'll never not have some form of live coding. Some people just don't know how to code. I don't mean that in some elitist, gate keepy way. I mean some people lie on resumes. If I used Excel every day (like I was an accountant) I would not take someone's word that they know how to use Excel, I'd want to see them do it.

I am fully aware that problems are harder under stress. I advocate for genuinely easy problems in coding challenges. I don't like brain teasers. I don't really even care if you finish the problem. So long as I can tell that you know how to make a computer do things you tell it in code, know how to ask questions about a problem, and make progress towards solving it -- I'm happy.

At an old job I made the mistake of not conducting a coding session of some form and we hired someone who I genuinely believe didn't know how to program. They'd ask for help on tasks very often and I'd try to guide them in the right way, but once we paired up, they just wouldn't ever type anything. After me becoming more and more clued into something being wrong and seeing no progress I finally mentioned it to my manager. I don't think he ever got fired, just shuffled around.

So you're saying it reached escape velocity and survived the death of its leader?

Mechanical keyboards enthusiasts, have you reached your endgame? in c/mechanical_keyboards@programming.dev
[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago

Yes, and it's where I started. I got a few super nice keyboards with with switches and how swappable switches and they all have chatter/bouncing issues. I somehow tricked myself into thinking I liked stiffer switches or spherical cut key caps. Done cut, TKL, with Cherry MX Brown the the best for me. I just wish my control key wasn't sticky (spilled something on it ages age). WASD Code V2 is my board.

Case recommendations? Mid/full. Looking for something easy to get in and lift. (programming.dev)
 

I feel like a case can really make or break a build. Or at least your enjoyment of it. My specs are below, but I sort of picked a case at random. I'm looking for suggestions.

My current build has served me since 2010 and it's time to upgrade the CPU, Motherboard, and case. Everything that can be replaced easily has been and it's really showing it's age. I mention this because it's likely the case I pick will be used for the next ten years of my life!

Stuff I care about

  • Ease of opening for cleaning/assembling. Part of why I don't clean my current on as much as I should is how annoying it is to open.
  • Ease of moving. I'm more interested in handles than weight, but I still don't want something stupidly heavy.
  • Size. I'd prefer something a little too big rather than something a little too small. I don't necessarily want a full tower though. As long as I can get in easily and there is some extra room for the next GPU I'll inevitably buy in the next 10 years I'm good.

Stuff I don't care about

  • Water cooling. I have zero interest in getting custom water cooling. Too much effort for me.
  • Looks. I don't really want some crazy RBG thing, but I also don't specifically need some super minimalist thing either.
  • Price. So, obviously I don't want to waste money, but if I need to splurge a little I'm willing to. Within reason.

SD Card fails to format using official SD Card format tool on Windows (programming.dev)
 

I don't get a very detailed error message but it fails and tells me to try reinserting it. I've tried a few times. It fails at different percentages sometimes. Any thoughts or ways to get a more detailed error message? I have Mac and Linux too.

If you fail to pull Gale through the portal, can you recruit him later? (programming.dev)
 

I failed the strength check despite being a paladin and using inspiration. I never saw him again even after getting through nearly all of act 2. I've asked this before, maybe even in this community, but no one gave a concrete answer, likely because the game was still new.

Not really Vaporwave, but not too sure where it fits. These styles inspired a lot of Vaporwave things so I thought you might enjoy.

OP finds vulnerability where a forum sends you your password in plaintext over email and everyone misses the forest for the trees (lemmy.world)
 

This thread is frustrating. Everyone seems more interested in nitpicking the specifics of what OP is saying and are ignoring that a forum sends you your password (not an automatically generated one) in an email on registration.

How can I keep dust out of an unfinished basement? Or at least off of a specific area and table? (programming.dev)
 

I have an unfinished basement. It would be a great place for a workshop but some hobbies don't do well in a dusty environment. Would setting up an air purifier help? Even then I'm concerned it wouldn't get the entire volume of air.

One idea is to just cover the area in a tarp (or something more permanent) while not in use.

I hate to tidy up and will very likely forget even if I don't get lazy and I don't want to have stuff get dusty because it's laying out for a while.

I assume the dust is coming from the rafters when we walk around upstairs but I'm not certain.

The hobbies are pretty varied. Electronics (like Arduinos), sewing, painting, etc. Nothing crazy like woodworking or metalworking which create their own dust though. The dust is just the normal dust you see in basements lol.

Reddit's official TikTok account hypocritically showing off MSOutlookit (www.tiktok.com)
 

MSOutlookit is a "skin" for Reddit that makes it look like Outlook. In case the joke isn't clear it makes it easier to hide Reddit browsing at work from folks looking over your shoulder. http://pcottle.github.io/MSOutlookit/

It's just super disheartening to see Reddit themselves show this off after killing third party apps.

Where the hell do you recruit Gale if you fail to yank him from the portal? (programming.dev)
 

I feel like I'm losing my damn mind. I would've reloaded (or literally restarted the entire game) if I realized how much content a single damn skill check less than 30 minutes in would make me miss by failing. I feel like I've been nearly everywhere in Act 1. Where the fuck is he? Did I miss him? I'm like 30 hours in now. I don't want to restart the game.

Am I locked out of a romance after saying no to them? (No spoilers here.) (programming.dev)
 

I've been poking around and trying to avoid spoilers to check. This is before the celebration I see everyone mention. I told Lae'zel no because I wanted to do it later. It seems like the option is gone now. Does it ever come back? Is there any console command or mod to fix it?
