Pretty much matches my experience. I'm an EE, I started out writing an LLVM backend for a custom DSP. Pretty good understanding of hardware, compilers and general low level things. Now I have a generic web dev job working on a generic

To be fair when a company says they use C++, it can mean anything from "C with classes" to crazy metaprogramming with almost automatic memory management. Since they have over 10 years experience, they are almost definitely in the

Isn't Tasker[0] the Android equivalent? I have never used an iPhone though, so I can't comment on the differences. I also haven't used Tasker in about 5 years, so I'm not sure if it's gotten more or less powerful ov

I find the exact wording believable enough. There was never a request, the Chinese government just accesses the data they need without a request.

In my (admittedly very limited) experience, Teams was almost free when you're already paying for microsoft 365. At least last time I had any involvement with it, the price difference between having teams in the bundle or not was neglig

In my cynical world view, your options are: 1. Rename the company 2. You (or somebody you know) gets a job at Microsoft in the correct team and removes 25friday from the backlist. I'm guessing at some point the past, there was a large

That is basically what happens in South Africa today. There are rolling blackouts and rich people with backup generators and batteries are unaffected. It's gotten to the point where richer cities (like Capetown) have their own power so

Ouch, that does sound painful. I've only ever used it on Linux and Mac which work similar enough that if it did override it, it would be a mild annoyance at best. I don't know windows + wsl enough that I'm sure I would'v

I'm pretty sure that was an option when installing, I remember unchecking it and 'code' still launches vscode for me. Curious how it's difficult to remove, I'd expect something like rm `which code` to do it. Unless

I have to use a Mac for work and it drives me crazy. I disabled everything I could find, enabled reduced motion preferences or whatever it's called and still got some animations. My "solution" is to use Aerospace [0], which

Yeah, vim was invaluable when I worked in the semiconductor industry. Lots of perl, TCL, SKILL (a lisp dialect) and giant verilog netlists. Languages which don't really have proper IDEs or great all in one tooling. Now I'm a webde

Yeah, I would have expected to get my ESTA denied, or denied entry at the border and shipped back. It would have never occured to me that I would be arrested for weeks. It's insane to me, it can't make economical sense, it must be

I wonder if this was real or if they set a custom prompt to try and force such a response. If it is real, then I guess it's because LLMs have been trained on a bunch of places where students asked other people to do their homework.

Really? I find it very believable, you make a high quality meme for your friend group. Someone decides to spread it further and now far-right people are taking it seriously when it's taking the piss out of the people involved.

The entire apple monitor settings are just awful. I have a small portable projector which accepts 4k input but just downscales it to 1080p. I cannot get osx to actually output at 1080p, all it does is output at 4k and scale the result. The
