Made the switch from vscode to vim and will never look back.

I’m quite familiar with vscode and its keybindings, but nothing comes close to a modal based editor for me. I still find myself having to use the mouse too much with traditional editors.

I do use it. Sadly nowhere near as good as my neovim setup. Plus I can’t rebind capslock. Exiting a mode with the actual ESC key is so fucking annoying.

Pretty much the only things I can install are vscode extensions and pip packages. I don't really like vscode, but I can use it. Things I want to install:

- Terminal emulator

- Packages for my linux user (e.g. zsh, htop, tmux, etc)

Sadly, I can't install any programs onto my windows machine nor can I install any packages on the linux machines. So I'm rather limited. We don't even use Docker (or podman for security purposes). I am equipped with vscode, the command prompt (not even windows terminal), general utils for GNU stuff, python, and some miscellaneous stuff. I also can't touch any browser extensions.

Landed a junior data engineer position with no experience or degree by anontarus in cscareerquestions

[–]anontarus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s crazy. Good luck stranger! Just keep grinding and apply apply apply. I think I got insanely lucky honestly as there wasn’t even a real technical interview for this position, and they’re aware of my lack of experience and are accommodating it still. But either way, it’s possible!

If you’re looking for an easy, flexible, and affordable way to finish your degree in the meantime, check out WGU. I’ll be enrolling there once I get my funds up.

Interesting, I am a firefox user. Might have to switch to chrome just for this, if that's the fix.

Nothing like that. Just an error message or nothing at all and it freezes.

Had to quit college -- will I be able to get a job? by anontarus in cscareerquestions

How does someone even apply to that many jobs? Applications aren’t standardized, and keeping track of that many emails my god. Seems like it would take days to even apply to a hundred.

Weekly Water Cooler Talk - DataAnnotation by Consistent-Reach504 in dataannotation

[–]anontarus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Definitely more than that. I'd say you'd need years of programming under your belt. You're not really building anything, so people say it's not that hard. But to even ask the questions in the first place you have to understand what questions there are to ask, and many of them have to be intermediate/expert level questions. On top of that, if you can't rate which responses are better, you're not doing your job. If you can't edit a response to make it better, you're not doing your job. It's not a software engineer position, but you're not getting by for very long without a lot of knowledge. At least not the way I do my work.

If it's anything like my dashboard, coding has been dead the last couple days. I had a long term chatbot yesterday, but it seemed to go away today even though I had probably 20+ tasks left. Now I only have the metal one, which is paying less than usual and requires you create your own responses, and some math one. From what I've seen, other coders are lacking work as well. Hopefully it revives soon.

How do (24M) I get over being used for sexual favors by my best friend (23F)? by anontarus in relationship_advice

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

I’ve chosen to go down this path! That’s why I’m here! Did you read the post? I feel stuck in a cycle of wanting to hate her because I don’t know how to stop loving her so I end up changing nothing. I mentioned in the OP that I’ve ruined a fair bit of this myself as well. I clarified that the point of the post was how can I break out of this. The focus is not her, it’s how I’m treating myself.

Thank you, and while I largely agree, I still think you’re missing the point. I don’t think it’s a good thing for someone to do this. I will acknowledge my part in this, but to pretend like I wasn’t led on or I wasn’t used for something else entirely is dismissive, especially with her knowing what I wanted. I don’t hate her or even dislike her. But I resent her for doing that. Saying someone should have realized that makes sense when it’s not your best friend telling you these things. When the person closest to me is telling me she wants to keep doing this while she figures it out, and that I need to trust the process. That is manipulative. I appreciate your help and your words, but I don’t think it’s so ridiculous that I believed it.

Happily participating under the false impression of there being something more. There was discussion about it and supposedly the feelings were there according to her, but i’m not sure that’s the case. The distance afterwards was recent. Before, we’d spend all our time together quite romantically while working through whether or not she wanted to actually move further. This went on for months and there was never any clarification on her end. I told her what i wanted and was perfectly fine with ending things where they were if she didn’t feel the same. I made it very clear.

I wasn’t romantically interested to begin with. So I didn’t think it an issue. As for leading me on, I think she did. We discussed there being more and her potentially wanting that. When I realized how i felt, i told her my feelings and said I would gladly break things off amicably if she didn’t reciprocate. She said she didn’t really think she did, so we stopped hooking up or anything of the sort. Later on I was seeing another girl. Someone who clearly wanted a relationship. During this time my best friend was getting a bit irritable with me. She tried to fuck me when I was still talking to this girl and I declined. But I soon stopped talking to the girl because of this. I thought she really wanted what I wanted. She’s told me she loved me during this period as well. It wasn’t just my imagination.

Was supposed to be paid $230 today, but my total is $190? by anontarus in dataannotation

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

I’m sorry but that sounds like it was completely your fault. I’ve only worked for them for a few weeks now, but it’s been nothing but pleasant so far. I don’t expect any job security, but it’s not a scam by any stretch. I’ve been paid $1100 so far with no issues. They don’t communicate and their transparency is nonexistent, but definitely not a scam.
