I’m still in a mechanical engineering world so just saying INT and FLOAT has people running away. Excel is the “safe zone” for them, sadly it means that I’ll just be doing the VBA part and oh gawd please get me out of here…

Can confirm. Was quite unhappy in my mechanical engineering job, had an opportunity to develop something nice in python, was told we’d do it in excel/vba instead, still unhappy.


He could very well be one of the last 2 us president now.

I’m currently trying Fedora Kinoite and from the get go the hassle of getting a proper Firefox+codecs to watch online videos feels like a major step back.
Then you have the issue of installing software in flatpack (is: vscode, texmaker) that are either not fully working of need to have their access tweaked. Atomic distros appeal is to “just work” it doesn’t seem like it does.


No Pika? My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.


I debated between the edit and “earn it” but I figured at this point the edit would be better.


Hyenas are matriarchals and they fucking deserve it.
Edit: They deserve their social position, not being ripped apart if that wasn’t clear


Some bloggers have experimented and used Mastodon as a medium to comments on their blog posts. Works quite well.

IMHO the issue in this situation is not the comment but that the person updating the code didn’t do his job properly which shouldn’t be an excuse not to do it from the start.


I don’t care how much you think your code is readable, plain text comments are readable by everyone no matter the proficiency in the programming language used. That alone can make a huge difference when you’re just trying to understand how someone handled a situation.


The main issue is programming in a specific language limit who can contribute to those who speaks that language. In that sense English makes sense as it is already a widely used language in a work context. It would probably limit those who are willing to use the software as it makes auditing harder.
New employees are responsible of at least 75℅ of documentation clarification and process overhaul.
Keep everyone awake and on their toes.
Some companies don’t see privacy as security. They want to know your background, when you punch in/ punch out, if you’re the type of person to leak secrets over the “dark web”.
Some also don’t believe in privacy at all, they believe in contract. When choosing a platform they want to know if they can sue them for breaching an NDA.
I did not receive an offer from that specific interview but yeah, I admit it was odd and didn’t inspire trust so I wouldn’t have accepted anyway.
Or simply being flagged as spam because of all the phishing training that goes on in big companies.
I’ve been told multiple times that having a @protonmail email makes me look like a conspiracy theorist, once in an interview. Privacy is way more niche than I’d hope for.
First thing I’d do is to look at the client (fedora) journal for anything funky happening.
‘sudo systemctl status nfs-client’
Since it’s random I assume you won’t have any timeout in your /etc/fstab but it might be worth taking a look anyway.
Be aware that if the network drops the NFS will be disconnected and won’t auto-reconnect so this could also be the issue.
I don’t know if it plays well with container mounted volume, but looking at autofs could be a solution to auto-remount the share. I use it profusely for network mounted home directories.
