I've thought about this sort of "reverse job board" for the traditional labour market.. How well does it work for rail Devs?

It says it in the article. Basically it's a way to get around the bias question. What I don't get is why they need to talk to the FEC anyway? Are they obligated to provide spam detection? Couldn't they just decide to not spam

My understanding is that it would just be reconfiguring the package to work with the package manager and to say that it came from debian official sources, etc. I don't think anything other than a Mozilla distribution would comply?

I'm really sorry, but I can never quite understand what the deal is with these tools are. I understand that virtual environments are important, but how are these tools any better than python3 -m venv .venv --prompt="foobar&q

I actually do this too, sometimes I'm just waiting for a project to come along that's a good fit for the language i want to learn.

I'm 8 minutes in and the presentation level is astounding. And with the red-bull sponsorship I'm sure this has got a bit of the cash behind it to keep such a great presentation. Thanks for the link, I will definitely keep an eye o

nice writing. I think you have a good point with the "death-ball" approach. I haven't seen it put it that way. I'm a big SC:BW fan. I haven't played in a while but I love watching it, and I feel like the competitive

The premise sounds good, I've never heard of it. Seems it isn't supported on gnome terminal yet. I'll have a bigger look on the computer. Thanks for the heads up

Another bad UI/ux problem is advertising standards. I had to go help my 70yo neighbour deal with Microsoft scammers after she clicked the "continue" button for her time scheduling form: https://ibb.co/CKCbRpf

I'm pretty sure after 10 years most vim users stick to a vanilla 5 line config for this very reason.

Genuine question: how does this compare versus something like modelling in primitive python? what benefits are there, or is it just a case of age and that this is language / system agnostic? I'm just finishing cosmic python[0], wh

There's a bit of an art to stringing them along. You gotta act like the damsel in distress some times. I got added to some whatsapp group investment scam once, when there was multiple scammers targeting me it was easier to do because t

Thanks. I was worried about giving people a reason to turn away, but as I'm writing this I realised that was a silly mistake to make. I've added the price in the "why I'm making this" page but not prominently.

Hi all, I made a quick landing page for a project idea that I had and I'm hoping some people can share their first impressions. Hopefully the site and project should be self explanatory (let me know if you have questions! - I'm st

I am too! Had a really large 3 day psychosis (including blabbering on Facebook for all to see), and ended up being locked into "involuntary mental health" ward in hospital for 2 weeks, 6 months of recovery with a nurse and 6 years

I highly recommend "the art of doing science and engineering" by Richard hamming. It's basically a book collection of his essays and history in the field. In fact I think this might be a chapter of it.

Thanks for this, it's helpful in a way.. I'm thinking that there isn't any other way of doing a feasibility study other than just putting it out there and seeing if there's any bites.

I largely agree with what you're saying. There is something about this demographic and it's getting largely worse, not better. I think most of this is enough feedback that we need to tailor our approach (as in almost put it in 180

I'm sure HR managers know that the majority of jobs they are hiring for are different from the job they're in, with different pay scales and demographics. Infact I'd say it's their profession.
