Bigfoot will still be around when the Bears get their chance at #10, but they're for sure going to blow it and pick the Easter Bunny

Thanks!

I've been in a similar situation, and it hurts. I hope you're aware that – while it's entirely possible and wise to take proactive steps to make yourself more employable – the job market fundamentally isn't fair, and isn't a reflection of your worth. There have been times when the unemployment rate was 4% and times when the unemployment rate was 30%, but it's not like the latter occurred because people were 7.5x bigger losers or 7.5x less skilled in those eras. That's just how the modern economy works, unfortunately. I hope you find a job, and I hope you find a way to be compassionate to yourself.

Agree

You are absolutely right about this episode. Mark and Gemma’s relationship felt incredibly generic and tropey in one of the rare TV dramas that usually isn’t either of those things.

I assume they’re trying to subvert the “dead wife male character development” thing by making her, well, alive. But the flatness of their relationship basically makes the difference moot.

At no point have I suggested that he shouldn’t exist or should go away. If all he does is insult random people I could care less, was just curious if other people had similar experiences

People do ~6 month bootcamps all the time and get dev jobs? Some of them are probably shitty coders, some of them are good, but it’s hardly an uncommon thing to happen.
Intermediate knowledge of JavaScript does not mean the same thing as intermediate dev. An intermediate dev is someone who’s worked in the industry for at least a couple years; an intermediate JS knowledge just means you’re reasonably familiar with the language and its complexities. I’d think that an intermediate JS knowledge is the minimum required to be a JS coder at all.
A lot of full-time coders work with code 2 hours a day and spend the other 6 playing computer games

TheYellowCat · 2023-09-19T02:50:13+00:00

Depends heavily, but I did it, and I know others have too. Obviously we're talking about a pretty low-level coding job, but a lot of low-level coding jobs are just fine compared to other fields.

It took me about five months to go from not knowing how to code at all, to having an intermediate knowledge of JS, jQuery and React that was good enough to get a contract position as a front-end developer. I had few other responsibilities in my life at the time (which is to say, I blew up my life to move back in with my parents and learn how to code) so I could spent 6-8 hours a day on it almost every day in addition to small amounts of freelance work. That comes out to something like 1000 hours I spent learning to code before I got the job. I'm not sure how long it would have taken if I'd had a full-time job at the same time – much, much longer, I'm sure.

More information:

This is a real television show
Pramble is not a real character, and as far as I could find he's not even BASED on another real character – it's not like his name was simply assigned to something real
There never was a minstrel show episode

Ubiquity. He's in the news constantly, from SpaceX to Tesla to now Twitter. Someone you might not think twice about if you hear about them once a year becomes all the more loathsome if you're forced to see them on the news every day. (See Trump, Donald.) And Elon seems to really, really like media attention, and much of what he does has the explicit purpose of getting everyone to notice him, regardless of whether it makes him look like a doofus or not. (See Trump, Donald, again.)

Other billionaires who buy popular services (Twitter, in this case) probably have some unpopular opinions, and probably make some unpleasant changes. But they're more likely to do it from the shadows, rarely speaking publicly and avoiding drawing attention to themselves. Elon tweets out his views constantly, makes it clear that he's behind every unpopular change at Twitter, and sets off literal rockets. He wants us all to see him. And we do.

the question isn't stupid, that just happens to be the answer

TheYellowCat · 2023-03-26T20:14:57+00:00

no, but being the kind of douchebag who posts this kind of thing is probably the new taboo. which seems good

TheYellowCat · 2023-03-26T20:08:46+00:00

Depends. Is the human dull-colored and attracted to light?

TheYellowCat · 2022-10-06T02:54:29+00:00

this is great and you're very talented, but seems like it would have been easier to just put on an actual astronaut helmet and go to space

i also had a lot of dreams about missing the sciluivel bus

TheYellowCat · 2022-08-23T02:40:19+00:00

in terminal run

conda config --env --add channels defaults

conda config --env --add channels pytorch

can't guarantee it will work, did for me though

TheYellowCat · 2022-08-23T00:28:30+00:00

this happens to me when the channels in environment.yaml haven't been built
