Wow, the most recent GTA game is still ten years old?

Because liberal mystification with fancy-sounding concepts made to make you feel dumb so you don’t realize it’s just creative surplus labor value expropriation

Same — I don’t recall a single sports-related post — not even a meme. Maybe my instance already defederated from all the home servers of these communities (I think that’s how it works?).

Wow, I thought for sure this was DALL-E.

Shows, I suppose how the existence of these things cheapens what would otherwise be a sense of awe or appreciation.

Holy shit the reason for tee never really clicked until I saw this post. I’d used it in pasted commands, but it had always seemed superfluous.

Nothing happened because he forgot to uncomment the commands im_stuff.jpg

False; it says “100% Safe & Secured” right there on that logo. How could that possisbly be a scam?

Different threat models. There’s the threat of being punished or fired by workplace surveillance;

Separately, there’s also the threat of some unknown third-party snooping on your data for whatever other reason (identify fraud, etc).

The post discusses the first and I’d argue that’s more compelling for most people, but the second is also valid.

What did they test for, exactly? Meat allergy?

Excellent instance name

Is that good lol Tbh I’m trying to get away from it and become a backend generalist because I’m sick of the (1) ML hype that leads to absurdly unrealistic / unsatisfiable requirements and (2) the need to work with internal customers (data science people, etc)

mid-level (5ish YoE) SWE and MLE/ MLOps roles

More annoyingly, there have been so many baits and switches/ playing fast and loose with the term remote.

• Job description title: “remote”
• Job description body: “remote 2 days a week!”

or, halfway through the process

“Sorry, initial job description has been filled. Here’s another role, though, which is incidentally equivalent to the old one but the job description now says hybrid!! :) :)”

Can confirm - have been looking for four months for remote roles. I’ve done maybe 20 or so interviews to various stages, but no offers.

The industry in general is bleak right now.

But it is possible; probably easier with 15 YoE.

His defense mechanism:

I wonder what it would look like without these measures?

Back in My Day™, we had minimal MDM on the school computers.

Yes, the kids that wanted to fuck around (look at porn, download music, play games) fucked around, but they would have the old-fashioned way, anyway. The most common thing was just changing the desktop photo to a Lamborghini, or something. Anyway, we turned out…. Well… not necessarily ok, but I don’t fault the computers for lack thereof where applicable.

Admittedly, these weren’t personal laptops but just ones in the library or computer labs, but still.

Also managed to be pretty functional while blacking out nearly daily (at my worst), and interestingly enough, the anxiety during the hangovers (which became pretty much any time in between) is also what finally caused me to turn the corner.

Oh hell yes, I was looking for the RES equivalent, and weirdly enough, this is how I found it.

Hmm true. It does sometimes stop tracking, which is extremely annoying.

Another annoyance (that’s probably not unique to it) is that I’m doing calorie counting, and I’ve found I have to halve the calories it reports to get an accurate number.

FWIW I have an Inspire 3 and it’s reasonable. It has a chime to find it, Bluetooth seems solid enough, and it’s definitely waterproof as I run it under the sink to wash it every day. Cheap, too, so I don’t really care if it breaks. Small, so not a big, clunky fashion statement or something.
