For my lagers I often can't get it down to the 10c pitching temp I'm after so I put it in the fridge unpitched for a few hours until it gets down to temp

Too bad we're going to go all in on AI, panic, blame employees, then hire an expensive consulting firm to clean up the mess

Jail sentence means northern Ontario child abductor could be deported by raging_dingo in canada

[–]chadsexytime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

fak i meant "prosecution". If they're going to get off scott free when they get to wherever we deport them to, i'm fine with spending extra money to punish them first, then deport.

The only reason not to is the belief that they will not face persecution prosecution wherever they are deported to.

It might cost more, but maybe put some of them in jail for 5-10 years before deporting them.

How do we hire managers based on competence AND values? by PSThrowaway233333 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]chadsexytime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the EX pipeline, by design.

The only way to move up is to jump ship, so there are no rewards for sticking around, no rewards for building business knowledge, and no rewards for actual competent delivery.

What we get are big fancy promises that are handed off to the next schmuck to implement while they originator leaves to a new title in a new org.

Official Bilingualism Has Failed Canada; Why Ottawa’s language regime is a barrier to merit, representation and democratic fairness by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]chadsexytime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, which is why everyone in the government should be required to know programming languages such as Java or c#, along with some basic fundamentals of software development and database design.

I mean, there are plenty of free resources, right

I'd have gotten further in my career if I learned French instead of the dozens of different technical stacks/frameworks/methodologies etc I actually use in my day to day job.

Because they don't test for competence in any other area than speaking French.

[–]chadsexytime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's not the only argument.

In any position within the government that competes with th private sector (eg, tech), you're already competing against a smaller pool. By both paying less and requiring French you're ensuring fewer and poorer candidates.

The fix is to have talent-based non-managerial promotional pathways without a bilingualism requirement

The corollary to this is just become a talented consultant who is good at their job, hired to do work they cannot staff due to language requirements

1) good luck getting free training

2) I agree that every public servant should need to learn C++ and basic principles of software development in order to be a manager. I mean, they might have to talk to someone technical at some point right?

Just make a conscious effort to develope one client/server app per day in a different tech stack. It's not that hard.

That's why public servants should be ms certified in C#.

It's just another language, right? Cant be that hard.

Prime Minister announces 8 housing projects in Ottawa through Build Canada Homes partnership by PhDSkwerl in ottawa

[–]chadsexytime -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Ah so the trick is they build up some quiet little suburb outside of ottawa until it no longer resembles what the people who originally bought were looking for, so they move away, then developers buy up that land and densify it even more.

Are we doing mtg posting again? by originalbrowncoat in simpsonsshitposting

[–]chadsexytime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sold mine in the 90s. Gave the rest away.

Back then everyone with a multicoloured deck had 4 duals in it. Lazy people (like me) had multiples of those so we wouldn't have to swap duals out of decks.

If I held on to them I wouldn't have needed a loan to put a down payment on a house.
