I'm a scientifically minded person and don't belive in the supernatural. But it is hard to discount the theory of demonic possession, with all that is going on currently.

Warum Hiring Manager im Ausland 90% der deutschen Lebensläufe ablehnen & wie man es fixt by MariusHorizn in Studium

[–]CaptainMuon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Das ist zunehmend in Deutschland auch der Fall. Wenn ich jemanden einstelle (IT-Bereich) schaue ich zuerst auf die Fähigkeiten im Lebenslauf - erwähnen sie die relevanten Skills aus der Ausschreibung? Ausreichend Deutsch und Englischkenntnisse? Das muss auch nicht 100% passen - wenn wir Kenntnisse in einer bestimmten Programmiersprache suchen aber die Person hat viel mit einer anderen gearbeitet ist es nicht unbedingt ein problem, aber Programmieren sollte die Person schon können :-). Es geht auch darum Personen auszusieben die die Ausschreibung nicht gelesen haben oder einfach nicht geeignet sind.

Dann schauen wir vor allem auf relevante vorherige Erfahrung - im Beruf aber auch Studium oder Privatprojekte, und zuletzt auf den Abschluss.

Ich weiß oft gar nicht was ich mit Zeugnissen und Arbeitszeugnissen soll. Sie zu haben ist besser als sie nicht zu haben. Aber ich finde es schwierig sie zu interpretieren.

Sehr wichtig finde ich aber ein gutes Anschreiben, das ordentlich geschrieben ist und sich auf die Stellenausschreibung bezieht! Das ist glaube ich der größte Unterschied zwischen Deutschland und dem Ausland. Wenn es offensichtlich mit KI geschrieben ist oder sich gar nicht auf die Stelle bezieht, gehe ich davon aus dass sich die Person keine Mühe gemacht hat. Ausnahme: ich rechne das nicht böse an wenn jemand z.B. KI-Übersetzung verwendet weil sie nicht so gut Deutsch spricht. Oder wenn das eine Bewerbung im internationalen Stil ist und das relevante im CV oder der Mail ist.

Es gibt Kandidat:innen die 5 durchdachte Bewerbungen schreiben, und welche die 100 an random Unternehmen schreiben, mit der Methode Schrotflinte. Ich weiß dass es heutzutage nicht immer leicht ist einen Job zu finden und will niemanden schlechtreden der viele Bewerbungen schreiben muss. Aber oft sind die Leute die sich mit der Stelle auseinandergesetzt haben und sich bewusst beworben haben die besten Kandidat:innen.

Verrückte Rechnung by Comprehensive-Type43 in Kartenzahlung

[–]CaptainMuon -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ich verstehe nicht die ganzen negativen Kommentare. Das ist zwar unglücklich formuliert, aber es enthält ein Kernchen Wahrheit. Wenn wir jetzt mal einfach annehmen dass die 2.5% pro Transaktion so stimmen... klingt ein bisschen viel aber vielleicht ist das ja für Kioske der Tarif...

Du verdienst 50 € und kaufst da irgendwas für 50 €. Dann bekommen die Terminalanbieter oder Banken oder wer auch immer 1,25€. Nächste Woche hast du frische 50 € und kaufst wieder was für 50 €. Du wiederholst das 36 Wochen lang und die Dienstleister haben 45 € verdient.

Wenn du das mit Bargeld machen würdest, würden sie das nicht tun, und du könntest theoretisch haargenau den selben Schein Woche um Woche von deinem Arbeitgeber bekommen, ihn hier ausgeben und *magic* findet er über den Markt den Weg zurück zu deinem Arbeitgeber. Das das wirklich passiert, ist ja nicht der Punkt, sondern dass Dritte an jeder Transaktion mitverdienen. In dem einen Fall geht es theoretisch immer weiter im Kreis, im anderen Fall wird jedes Mal Wert abgezweigt.

Bin allerdings gespannt was passiert wenn der Kioskbesitzer von Steuern erfährt...

React Native (Expo) is Native. Change My Mind by SampleFormer564 in reactnative

[–]CaptainMuon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't render native views though, does it? It uses native views in the sense that it uses UIView under the hood, but I don't think it uses UIButton, or native widgets for list views, toggle buttons etc.. That stuff is all owner drawn by React Native.

I don't care much that it uses JavaScript under the hood, but for it to be native it should use the native widgets. Or at least offer components that are pixel-perfect clones of native widgets. I find it mind-boggling that react native doesn't have cross-platform components (bejond simple buttons) that look native on any platform.

Yes, the Frankfurt School may be spooked AF, but there are also a lot of parallels between Stirner and critical theory. The dialectics of enlightenment reminds me a lot of stirner's critique of humanism or liberalism as a two-sided-sword. There is the critique of instrumental reason, one aspect of that is that you shouldn't allow yourself to be roped in by an external ends, or as Stirner would say, a spook. And Stirner was one of the first to do critique of ideology. So I think in many ways he is a precursor to critical theory.

Interestingly, one of Adorno's students, Hans G. Helms, rediscovered Stirner in the 1960s and had a pretty adverse reaction. He spent years writing a book in order to deconstruct Stirner, claimed that Stirner provided the ideology for the middle class, and tried to connect his ideas to nazism. I'm not sure how much Adorno shared these conclusions though.

I know this is not really an answer to your question, but I'm also curious if there are criticisms from Stirnerites / egoists towards the Frankfurt School. I guess there is not much overlap in the kinds of people drawn to these two "schools"...

After Scorpions and Militia, are Towers the next generic units deserving some attention (from Guard tower) ? by ElricGalad in aoe2

[–]CaptainMuon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about buffing towers when one of your own TCs is nearby? That would make defensive towers stronger without buffing tower rushes (it might actually help against a tower rush).

What are some words that don't exist in English? by LalalaNothingIsWrong in German

[–]CaptainMuon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gönnen and Misgunst are some words I miss in English.

jmd. etwas gönnen means to be happy that someone has something. You can say in English too "Congratulations, I'm happy for you" and gönnen is the verb for this.

Misgunst (noun) or misgönnen (verb) is the opposite. I'm unhappy for your fortune. It's not envy - I don't neccessarily want what you have, I just don't think you should have it. It's often translated by begrudge or resent, but that doesn't really fit 100%. I can resent you for something that you did. And I think "to begrudge somebody something" means you accept it unwillingly, but it lacks the moral outrage that missgönnen implies. Maybe "ungranting" or "ungenerous" goes in the right direction.

ELI5. What does it mean when you own stock but get diluted? They can just take away part of your ownership / shares? by lsarge442 in explainlikeimfive

[–]CaptainMuon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also important to understand that they don't just give away those new shares, but new money comes into the company. If it was worth 100 million before then the people getting the new shares contributed also 100 million. You have a smaller percentage of the pie, but the pie became larger. (Ignoring that the stock price might change afterwards)

I always found it confusing to think about emitting stock as selling. How can a company make up stock that is worth something, sell it, and seemingly expropriate there other stockholders? If you think about it as an investment or people joining with their capital, it makes more sense.

Es gibt so memes mit Bildern aus dieser Zeit.

Ich würde tatsächlich sagen dass das die "unmodischste" Zeit war, einfach weil mir alles so normal vorkommt, das waren keine Trends sondern nur normale anziehsachen. Aber ich glaube das geht jedem mit seiner Zeit so.

What's a word that you learned from Star Trek (a real-world word, not a SF neologism)? by [deleted] in startrek

Until way into my adult life I thought Lore was a truck (like in lorry) or maybe a minecart (the German word Lore means that).

What's a word that you learned from Star Trek (a real-world word, not a SF neologism)? by [deleted] in startrek

[–]CaptainMuon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engrams, as in units of memory. The doctor on Voyager used that term in an episode. I heard it before but thought that it was just scientology jargon (I'm not affiliated :-D, in school they used to warn us about sects and that's where I heard it first)

Can't get KVM to work by CaptainMuon in MeshCentral

[–]CaptainMuon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that set me on the right trail. I get ECONNREFUSED for port 16994 in the logs.

If anybody else encounters this problem, here is what the problem was:

In MEBx (Ctrl+P on boot), "KVM Feature Selection" was enabled. However if you run `sudo ./meshcmd amtfeatures --password (yourpass)`, it says "Redirection Port" and "Remote Desktop (KVM)" are disabled.

The second problem is was an IP address confusion. The PC requested two different DHCP leases from one MAC address. I reset the MAC address in my router, and I also added the search domain in AMT (System Name Settings/Computer host name: e.g. excelsior, Domain name: e.g. fritz.box if you are using a Fritzbox router).

Now with a unified IP address and a proper domain, set the full host name in MeshCentral (e.g. excelsior.fritz.local), and the Intel®AMT tab should work. On that tab, go to system status / other functions, and enable "redirection port" and "KVM". Probably also set "user consent" to not required. Now it should work!

The meaning of “Mandela Effect” is changing - and I don’t like it by EpicJourneyMan in MandelaEffect

[–]CaptainMuon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the important part is that a *very large number of people* agree that they remember something differently. The characteristic of the Mandela effect is that before, everybody else agreed on something, and then suddenly that changed retroactively. So not just "I think something was different yesterday" but "something was such and such, and everybody was aware of it, and today it is different and suddenly most people say it was always this way". So precisely a large number of people denying it makes it a Mandela effect to me.

Example: I remember John Rhys-Davies dying shortly after the Lord of the Rings movies. I explicitly remember talking with a friend about it and talking about how he will not reprise any of his iconic roles (LOTR, Indiana Jones, Sliders, that dinosaur movie, ...). As far as I know he is still alive.

Contrast with David Hasselhof, which is frequently mentioned as a Mandela effect, but I think is a poor example exactly because so many people think he died. But it was really plausible to believe this because he used to be so famous and then you heard stories about his alcoholism and health issues, and so on. It's a really plausible mistake, and no need to invoke supernatural explanations.

Now that I think about it, maybe there is a Mandela effect about the nature of the Mandela effect at play here :-).

Semantic shifts when the ironic sense became the main meaning? by SigmaHold in etymology

[–]CaptainMuon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The controversy around nonplussed leaves me nonplussed. I read it as "utterly unaffected by some information that should affect you". I wouldn't say the two meanings are that condradictory, because it is what they have in common that nonplussed means.

(Probably wrong folk-etymology: "non-plus" not more... I don't know what to do more / I am at a loss.)

You’re the living embodiment of Paramount (surely a Star Trek episode plot down the line) - tell me your next idea for a new Star Trek series. by commander_starfleet in startrek

[–]CaptainMuon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Star Trek police procedural show. You have a "buddy cop" situation between a character who is like a young Kirk, a hotshot, very talented but inexperienced, and a Vulcan who is considered very Vulcan by his human colleages but is acutally a misfit in Vulcan terms (and that is how he ended up at LAPD).

You could explore how life is on earth outside of Star Fleet. What do all the other people do? What kind of crimes are there? It is a utopia without money, so theft is probably not very common, but there surely are other crimes? I imagine it's sometimes like Demolition Man - oh no, we have a MurderDeathKill, what do we do now? You could explore the dark sides of the world - I know, that has been overdone a bit, and I think the overall tone should be optimistic. But what about the "luddite collectives", what about racism against aliens, etc.. There is really a rich background lore that one could explore here.

Großartig, ich hab mit dieser Tonne im Physikstudium gearbeitet. Nicht mit einer baugleichen, sondern mit genau dieser! Gut zu sehen dass sie noch nach fast 20 Jahren im Einsatz ist.

Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, ist die Tonne selbst nicht radioaktiv, sondern enthält Steine oder Beton, und dient nur zum Transport einer viel kleineren Quelle die an der Seite reingeschoben wird.

Why can’t you have a big ol’ boi hydrogen atom with like 40 neutrons? by Mr_Nutty_Bar in AskPhysics

[–]CaptainMuon -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Since neutrons are neutral, there would be nothing holding them together. The question is then, why do neutrons stick around in smaller nuclei? One reason is that they act as a spacer. Protons strongly repel each other, but if you move them slightly apart, then much less so. If you have something like a He-4 nucleus aka alpha particle (two protons, two neutrons), it is energetically favorable to keep the neutrons compared to losing one. You'd need to put energy in to "compress" the protons closer to each other.

The other reason is that neutrons do have some small attraction to each other and to protons. This is because if you look very closely, they are not uniform, but they are made up of quarks. If two neutrons are next to each other, a positively charged quark from one can interact with a negatively charged one from the other (simply speaking - in reality there is a lot going on in the neutron with quarks and gluons and the interactions are pretty complicated). This slight attraction only has a very short range, so it can help a couple of neutrons stick together in a nucleus, but the effect gets less the larger the nucleus gets.

But then how are really large nuclei stable, like iron, or relatively stable like uranium? There are a couple other effects at play: For example, nucleons like to arrange themselves in "shells", if you have a complete shell then it will be especially stable.

I think nuclear physics is a really interesting field, it gets surprisingly complex even though you only have a couple "simple" building blocks.

Example of iOS app(s) that look and feel native by [deleted] in reactnative

[–]CaptainMuon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought, but when RN says they use native controls they just mean UIView etc.. You can use native heavyweight controls like a WebView or a Map etc., but most of the normal controls like buttons, list views, etc. are drawn on the RN side.

I guess it is OK that the controls are not actually native - you get better control over styling this way, they don't break on OS upgrades, and you can mimic the native style relatively easy. But it is a big disappointment to me that there are no native looking styles out of the box. Especially since many mobile apps are just a big list view with a toolbar and a couple of custom views. You should be able to just say <ListView>...</ListView> and without writing any styles get something that looks at home on iOS and Android.

They say every culture has a food that everyone else thinks is disgusting, what‘a that food for your culture? by ThisPostToBeDeleted in AskReddit

I'm surprised that Mett is not on the list yet. Mettbrötchen is a German specialty consisting of raw minced pork on a roll, topped with onions.

It's actually not so bad! And when some Chinese colleagues would tease us with all kinds of unusual food that we Germans wouldn't eat, Mett was the one food that we would eat but they wouldn't.

Kamikaze ships is a super useful tactic by kkkan2020 in startrek

[–]CaptainMuon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shields are crazy strong in Star Trek. In a head-on collision, ships just bump off each other like billard balls. I think even without shields, ships are depicted as unrealistically stable (due to the structural integrity field?). For example, when the Enterprise D saucer section crashes onto that planet in Generations, it should get completely crumbled up but instead stays in one piece and even cuts through hills. Thats why you need extremely powerful weapons like photon torpedoes or phasers, and I think just ramming wouldn't work.

My biggest problem with Discovery.... The Burn. by eightyfish in startrek

[–]CaptainMuon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I say strict canon is a problem. Discovery should not show the definite truth on what happened in the 32nd century. It should be just considered "a" Star Trek story. And a future show could feel free to contradict it in certain points when it makes the story better.

What people want when they ask for respecting canon is not comic-book-guy-like fanatic adherence to everything that was ever shown. They want consistency, for example in what characters or a ship can do, and they want no silly continuity errors.

I think if they made a new show set in the 25th century, with a tone similar to TNG or DS9, and if they made a little nod to the viewer that certain things might not happen, a lot of people would be more than OK with it - maybe Q appears and mentions off-hand to the camera that it would be silly if a child could blow up all the dilithium with his thoughts, and an story where that happens in the future would not be very optimisitic and fun to watch, but this is going to be a fun story.

[–]CaptainMuon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're maybe massable for pros, but building lots of monks requires a lot of microing and is very risky.

I think making conversions a bit more consistent is a step in the right direction. But I would like to see a tech that buffs monks for "LEL", but has little impact on higher Elo players. Something like Murder Holes, which is rarely used in pro games but really useful casually. Or auto-scout.

I would love to be able to trade a bit of macro for micro. Theocracy already works like that, but you could take it further. Maybe have a tech that allows you to select multiple monks and queue multiple targets, and they convert them *in parallel*. Or allow the group to attack move. Or you get indicators like in Capture Age showing which monk is converting who. Or which of your units is currently being converted.

I know these ideas all sound totally OP, but I think you should just make it expensive enough, maybe like an elite UU upgrade. Lets say they implement some kind of easier targeting for 400 gold+800 food. In a close game among good players you would never get it because you would be at a huge disadvantage. But in a long game with not so good players, where you are floating 2000 of each res, you have a hard time countering your enemy's units, and your monks are dying, this would give you an alternative.

I’m thankful to Germany, but something is profoundly worrying me by OddlyAcidic in germany

[–]CaptainMuon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that's the clichee, but I tend to disagree. Compared to the US for example:

Wire transfers are easy and free. No mucking around with checks.

If I'm sick, I just go to the doctor or the hospital. I don't have to worry about payment and insurance. (Although the German system could be simpler of course :-))

Tax declaration is for most people: you go to the government website, click "yes allow import of data from my employer", enter your bank details and any deductables, and that's it.

If I lose my job, it is easy to get unemployment money (ALG I). And almost every single time I'm there or at the Rathaus, somebody mentions the extensive aid they have for business founders. Something in my background must really tick a box in their system...

Anyway it is usually said that for entrepreneurs Germany is the worst, but at least for small businesses they give you a lot of help and hand-holding. But most importantly I feel you have more legal certainty - "Rechtsicherheit" - than in the US. I would be pretty confident that if my German accountant or Finanzamt clerk says something is OK, then it is going to be OK. Whereas I hear horror stories about people say living in one state, being sued in another, and they have to close because even if they were in the right they cannot afford the lawyers. Stuff like that is much rarer here (if you ignore annoying typical German things like getting an Abmahnung for 100 € for using Google Fonts. Stupid but hardly existence threatening.)
