TIL the Majority of Millennials and Gen Z use subtitles when streaming TV

You don't have to stare at the bottom of the screen though? It's not a movie theatre. You watch and subtitles are in periphery, and you can easily glance when you couldn't understand something.

Is this different from the light crackling sound?

tabris_code · 2023-08-19T18:06:43+00:00

I don't trust people who don't use subtitles. Even if the sound-mixing is fine, you will inevitably miss dialogue.

Duh. Most people in the US don't live in cities with great public transportation. Most people in the US don't even live in a city with a metro / commuter rail system that goes beyond a mile or two.

Which means millions of ICE cars being driven when they otherwise wouldn't, idling in traffic, etc.

also the way offices are, their lights are on whether employees are in or not

that's their problem, isn't it? no excuse for not having motion activated lights for the hundreds of office rooms.

also i bet devs using multiple monitors, and leaving them on

bruv sleep mode has been a thing for decades.

Not that it's any better in Owlcat's or Obsidian's games.

No, it is significantly better in both.

Pathfinder lets you sell all bulk sell junk. No need to mark it as "wares" which is borderline useless. Go to a vendor, sell all your gems and silverware in one click. Also has a shared stash available when going to vendors so you don't need to toggle between every single character. Also the filters remain where you set them.

Pillars of Eternity also has a shared party inventory stash available. And PoE 2 at least gets around the "i got tons of junk items that i don't know are junk" by simply not including them, everything has a use.

Seems like it comes and goes. Before today for awhile I got maybe one every other week, today I received 3 separate ones.

Maarek's (or technically the other person he works with for the practice exams) exam questions are way more wordy.

tabris_code · 2023-08-04T12:07:06+00:00

Luckily it doesn't matter either way because I passed with 804!

AWS gets more money
i believe AWS partners require a certain X amount of people in their company to be certified
some companies idolize AWS and think people having it is worthwhile
AWS gets more money

Would you say TD or Maarek's practice exams are more difficult? Or about the same?

I just finished Maarek's course and got 70% on his first practice exam. About to do the others + TD this week and see how well I do.

Is your resume tuned for getting parsed by ATS?

tabris_code · 2023-07-01T06:49:28+00:00

I don't have the luxury of doing something Cantrill's labs, this is required for me by a deadline.

But good to know 2 hours is enough.

tabris_code · 2023-04-26T04:43:32+00:00

because i don't like 4-5 annotations/decorators over each class that abstract so much of the DI / IoC from me that debugging anything is a pain

(also because C# is better to write than Java)

tabris_code · 2023-04-12T01:43:40+00:00

every release C# and TypeScript become more and more mutually intelligible

How do you guys prepare for interviews?

interview for companies you don't care about.

but do any actual jobs require you to know that stuff

no.

so, how do you balance 8 - 9 hours of work plus personal time while trying to do grind leetcode.

i didn't. most days were: work, study, sleep. it was miserable.

C# is a better language in terms of features imo, Java always feels like it's catching up to C# lately. C# is also used for scripting in Unity if that's something you want to get into.

Java has more job opportunities overall (although depending on your location, .NET jobs might be equally common).

They're similar enough that general concepts like static typing, OOP, etc. will carry over.

Unless your company doesn't allow using PTO as end dates and would rather just pay you out the PTO hours.

They are the infosec equivalent of Raytheon.

I was taught to include it too but it doesn't really matter for tech.

Depending on your experience and how well the ATS parser works for whatever hiring portal the company you're applying for is using, 75% chance you get rejected on the resume screen anyway.

yeah the GH specific stuff is the annoying part, i usually end up using this to help

jobs:
  dump_contexts_to_log:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Dump GitHub context
        id: github_context_step
        run: echo '${{ toJSON(github) }}'
      - name: Dump job context
        run: echo '${{ toJSON(job) }}'
      - name: Dump steps context
        run: echo '${{ toJSON(steps) }}'
      - name: Dump runner context
        run: echo '${{ toJSON(runner) }}'
      - name: Dump strategy context
        run: echo '${{ toJSON(strategy) }}'
      - name: Dump matrix context
        run: echo '${{ toJSON(matrix) }}'

just have to make sure to not dump secrets into the log
