Wait those are distinct?! Holy shit. And since Microsoft owns GitHub, that’s even less clear. Unbelievable.

Interesting, I posted a top level comment to you but you’re already doing some similar things to what I posted.
I like to ask candidates to tell me about a design pattern, or a framework, or a coding principle that they really appreciate and which changed how they think about or write code. It’s an open-ended way to show me they care about the craft.
People who find the field interesting and somewhat fun (AKA not just lucrative) usually have these kinds of preferences or paradigm-shifting moments / learnings. People who can’t come up with anything for this question tend to be real junior or just in it for the wrong reasons. Or so I tell myself, anyway.
Holy fuck! Welp, today’s the day, I’ve been a heavy Google user since they became a company basically. Starting to unwind all that TODAY.
Doing this exact thing, right at the moment I’m reading this. Oof. Time to get my shit together lol.
I think Lenovos are kinda renowned as good candidates for Linux laptops, though I’m not knowledgeable enough to talk models and such. Go for it!
You’re great and you should feel great!
FWIW I shifted my monthly Wikipedia donation to The Internet Archive recently and recommend others do the same. Just a few bucks a month, please, it matters. Zero hate for Wikipedia, it’s a critically important piece of human culture, but they’re plenty good on $ and we need to be fostering backups of shared knowledge and historical records. This is important! No one will do it for us, only we who care can do it!
If there’s any new Lemmy users here, coming from Reddit (feel like I’m opening a seance), and if you’re wondering what else you might decide to change during this era of change -
Try Linux! It’s easy now, and frankly just better :)
Thanks for pointing this out, I had no idea. Removed it and left a review complaining.
Fair enough, I can imagine that pretty easily.
I get lots of mileage out of Hanlon’s Razor, and I acknowledge the rampant incompetence that suggests its applicability, but digital security seems like about the least appropriate place to apply this rule of thumb.
I’ve been falling in love with Plasma lately and I really enjoy these updates / notes!
Probably time to start spinning up some shit like that, actually. Keep an eye on a broad index of salient search terms / hashtags, watch for dropouts.
That’s pretty crazy, good to know. We had a hard time hiring a “cloud engineer” last year ourselves, though for the client in question we were looking for deep Azure chops. I’ve been learning some Terraform for this reason so we can respond a bit better, sounds like I might be well served to focus on it. Feel like DM’ing with salaries / offers you’ve been hearing about, if you have?
Hmm really? Would proficiency with Terraform and knowledge of the services offered by at least one major cloud provider be considered “cloud server orchestration skills” or do you mean something more/different?
I’ve gotten to spend some time where my major responsibility was to refactor and improve “research-grade” code from some scientists. Felt like tending a Zen rock garden, but code lol, I found it really relaxing and lovely.
You just blew my MF mind.
Dead Prez been radical and vocal about social and political issues since long before everyone else got there. Music is probably dated by now but their messages have always been consistent and they are very applicable today.
I have a copy of Josan’s “The_Future_is_Now / Neon_Rising” and it’s maybe the coolest fucking thing I’ve ever laid eyes on. The photos don’t really do it justice, it’s just page after large page of jaw-dropping, gritty, detailed cyberpunk illustration. Like if Mœbius was infected with some digital virus. And it tells a story and follows characters through the world he’s created, and there’s some limited text at the end. If you can get hold of a copy (no idea if that’s difficult or not), it’s seriously remarkable.
