I didnt realise AMEX could be this cringe
Pretty sure your cards not being accepted in half the modern world is not what winning looks like
lmao
i dont think i know anyone personally
that has an amex card
My gfs dad has one
He always pulls it out first

thats good. im glad for you tbh

so, in Gradle. If I implement A, and A uses B but I can't import B unless I implement it too, is there a way so I can do so with the exact same version that A uses?
maybe it's an XY problem but I'm using a library that throws exceptions that extend SQLExceptions but they're more specific than that so I'd like to be able to catch them with a bit more of control

The genus still has to match, and python is a whole genus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(genus)
Python is a genus of constricting snakes in the Pythonidae family native to the tropics and subtropics of the Eastern Hemisphere.The name python was proposed by FranΓ§ois Marie Daudin in 1803 for non-venomous flecked snakes.
Currently, 10 python species are recognized as valid taxa.Three formerly considered python subspecies have been promoted, a...
My partner wants to cross two types of ducks. We already raised some hybrids like that, but bought, not crossed from our ducks
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulard this duck hybrid
The mulard (or moulard) is a hybrid between two different genera of domestic duck: the domestic Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata domestica) and the domestic duck (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus), derived from the wild mallard. American Pekins and other domestic ducks are most commonly used to breed mulards due to the breed's high meat production. L...
so, I've got a small performance question. I've got a program which reads in a ton of files, processes them, and writes them back to disk (it also interacts with a database in the midst of all of this, but not much time is spent on that in the grand scheme of things). Now, after a tad bit of profiling, seems like my program is spending most of its time processing the files. Now, I could probably do this processing in parallel, which would probably warrant some sort of a speedup. Now, my question is, if the API for my program looks something like the following (pseudocode, for example's sake) ~ ```py
def do_something(files_to_process):
for file in files_to_process:
processed = process(file)
write_to_disk(processed)
def process(file):
contents = read_file(file)
parsed = parse_file(file)
return parsed
def write_to_disk(processed):
... # irrelevant, program isn't spending much time here anyways
would I be able to meaningfully run process in parallel? something likepy
processed = do_in_parallel(process, files_to_process)
``` I'm asking, since process is also reading in files from disk, and I'm not sure if that sort of I/O is going to impact the effectiveness of doing running process on a bunch of files in parallel. (fwiw, reading in the files from disk isn't taking up much time in comparison to the actual processing).
or would I have to somewhat refactor my API (for example, reading in the files separately, and processing them separately, and parallelizing the latter
You could create a queue of files to process and thread process, allowing it to pull from the queue.
hmm, and read all the files in before processing them?
Can the files be processes independently?
I'm not using python, if that's of relevance ~ I just want to know if I'd have any trouble if I just did all my processing (the for loop) in parallel
Then in the parallel thread read/process/write. Make each file its own little process that can start and finish as the disk allows. Then you just control the # of total processes running.
because I'm not spending much time actually reading the files, in the grand scheme of things
I see
I get caught in the trap of trying to solve for the batch instead of the individual all the time. When I finally just write code that can do "the thing" once, I find it so much easier to scale after that.
handling of individual files is already pretty self contained, fwiw
Then it should be pretty trivial to wrap that handling into a process/thread/whatever your language is calling it. Let that process pull from a list or queue. See what type of boost you have.
sounds good then, thanks
It could always just not work. haha
I'm using rust, so I also have the option of pulling in parallel iterators via rayon - https://github.com/rayon-rs/rayon - but with that, there may be trouble with side effects
parallel anything always adds a spice of side effects, race conditions, and joy.
rayon is somewhat less painless, in that regard
it guarantees data race freedom
thanks for the insight!
the point of rust's Send/Sync traits is to avoid race conditions across threads

I hate kubernetes
k8s hates you
I hate it more
Also, dumb kubectl, why isnt showing node information default
I spent like 30seconds having to look it up
Squeal and whistle
why do you hate k8s?
any reason is valid. I was just curious
Theres no documentation on which node runs what so until i compile it i'm having to hunt down nodes
Cant afford the 10 seconds it takes
what sort of ammo do you use for nodes? π
π¦ π«
Ah yes Bird Squirtgun.
I'm a chronic fidgeter right? I'm almost always playing with... something at my computer desk.
This is problematic, because I have soy sauce packets at my computer desk at the moment.
I am awaiting the moment my fidgeting backfires and I am covered in a thin coating of soy sauce.
do you have a rubiks cube
I do have a Rubik's cube on my desk as well.
Not good enough i dont think unless you know how to solve it
I'd invest in a quality fidget toy
my spidey senses tell me that mr. otter knows how to solve one and you dont
I used to
i actually havent done one in a while
same. I've probably regressed a significant amount
Yeah... what need for fidget toys π
((I would move the soy sauce packs far far far far far away from the keyboard))
ok im worse but not that worse
im ao5ing around 26s
probably was around 20 before
wtf? My record is currently something like 15.... years
hand reveal + timezone reveal + i know your home address now
absolutely owned

is that a gan
I don't know, it was wildly expensive.
so probably yes
Twas a gift from a coworker because I used to click my pen 
am i misremembering or are gans like $50
y'all impressive.

I can solve a rubik's cube "eventually".
some time under... :scroll scroll: 6 minutes.
the new ones have a microchip that connects to an app
i watched a video

The literal moon has better connectivity speeds than my area.
you mean latency?
why don't you just move to the moon then??
my upload speed in mbps is single digits
You thought playing with your friends in Adelaide was rough... nothing like playing with moon ping.
π
at least you didn't have to deal with slowdown from copper wires or something
it's all vacuum
slowdown from what 5 gbps to 4
looks at coax cable coming out of the wall yeah.. copper lines. haha... those would suck.
Moral issues.
speaking of high latency i gotta start doing the work i planned to finish an hour ago
I can't find the article now. Sad. There was a blurb about one of the major cellular companies wanting to get service to the moon by 2025. I found it entertaining.
Nokia! Nokia wants to launch 4G to the moon.

At least we know it will survive the harshness of space.
Pretty ambitious for a struggling telecoms company
they're not gonna deploy anything, Tipping Point is an NASA research umbrella program.
I don't use them so I don't care
its more that dish network was supposed to be the other major carrier
"for competitions sake"
but its just a running joke on the vergecast
lol
@honest star how do I make a pivot table in notion π₯Ίππ. do I just need to make a roll-up manually
Painfully. But I usually do different group-bys in table view
Yet another Excel W
o
actually about to switch to excel lol
or I create my own backend and simply use notion as a frontend π€π€
can excel make default values for a new row
actually this is pretty attractive
Not really
Needs some formula magic
why?
the undiscovered table?
because I want to see fun aggregate stats
I see. aggregate stats are indeed fun
currently my repr is a little janky, but it "works". i'm hoping to fix this for next year though
next year I want to be able to put multiple tags on each app, so I don't have to sum to get counts, or have "denied after interview"
and also track languages/ responsibilities in the ad
rex, more like, rexcel

dont even start
this stakeholder literally just replied to me and said

"the daily report will be ongoing -- there is no end in sight"
(β―Β°β‘Β°)β―οΈ΅ β»ββ»
eff that
man i dont even have time to automate a job to send out daily excel reports wtf
who has time for this
you will

rexcels seething at the sight of notionchads?
yeah except I can't make a fucking pivot table
who basically adds relational databases without pivot tables
dont start rumors
sheesh
I should get into this notion nonsense
it's alright
oof
oh btw I got denied by the 6 hour drive place
a six hour commute would've probably been a pain
well I would live there
Notepad best method. 
Yikes
anyways, i think it should be relatively easy to make my backend thing
notion π₯Ί
notion is supposed to have an api i think. hopefully i can just eat entire tables at once
well i want to make a simple CLI to spit out a pivot table for my applications
because this sucks
You should do that chart thingy everyone seems to have.
this thing
sorry, that one's ugly af
that's amusing. i would rather just have a normal tree, lol
Like this
that looks ok
my main issue is it's not really possible to compare how many interviews you had between companies, yk
so i'm thinking just have one "interviewing" stage

what
Wdym by that lol
like, some companies might have 1 interview, some might have 3
Oh you mean stages?
yeah something like that
like, final interview at one company might be 1st interview, at another it might be 4th
Some you can branch off:
initial interview -> video call -> video call 2 -> Final interview -> Offer
like that

Welcome to /r/DataisBeautiful
Spoilers ||It's ugly af||
that looks greater than 10:1 app to interview ratio
and i have a meetup soon π¬
offers should be coming out this week for this company i think. and for the kidney one too

tomorrow i think i have to write a followup for this other company
kidney health company π©
i'm really nervous for this one π more so than other ones for some reason π
Why? Just because they are kidney shaped?
no for the meetup in 15 minutes. that one i don't care about that much
I'm probably missing some context. Interview meetup? Other meetup?
to go over the takehome π©
Oh that one. lmao, if they meeting up it means they liked your work.
or they do it to everyone π
The mf take home I had, gave me dog shit instructions and didn't contact me after.
I think it was weeks later, email rejection
"data scientist" w/ 100% data engineering description.
Honestly, I wasn't going to go anyways after the first interview.
π©
Also, be sure to mention other methods. "I know I can do X here, but due to Y, I didn't implement"

do you even play that game
You mean the $12 season pass game?
π©

you heard the news
there's 2 passes now. one's 6, one's 12
i think 15 is delayed by a few months
wat
I stopped paying for season pass a while back. Haven't been disappointed since.
your mistake was paying in the first place π©
free game = never pay
π¬ i think i'll join in 2 minutes π¬

Good luck 
also idk if i told you, but they told me in the first interview they brought down 400 resumes to 10 for interviews, then sent 6 the takehome
ok, time to join i think π¬
also one person just uploaded files to github
ok bye guys ;-;
so you're quite special
i think it went pretty well
they said my project was the "most ambitious"
I got dinged for not matching the output perfectly
I kinda failed there ngl
and they said offers or no offers by the end of the week
This is for an internship right?
indeed
ok but they asked to confirm a salary range and i may have given too high of a lower bound π¬
Don't sweat it. If they really want to keep you, they'll tell you the max they can offer.
π
Also, take home for an internship is next level bs
well, strictly speaking i could have banged it out in like 30 mins
"how much free labor is this person willing to do" is basically take home tests
well, the thing was obviously not a free labor thing
Urgh, got nothing done today.
the fun thing is that baseball season started
oh also, they asked about chipotle lol
Why lol
idk one of them was interested
chipotle? yeah I work there
Oh, makes sense then.
they asked what thing they shouldn't get, and I said lettuce
you are doomed
it is what it is
Why not
hey party people
I said so

Hello everyone
hey @umbral bobcat
amusingly normal
@honest star hello resident notion power user
Have you ever had to batch import nested markdown files into notion? I see the api does not allow uploading files to Notion
when you say nested markdown files, what do you mean?
I have a dir named jira and about 50 dirs in it with md files in them
I also have a bunch of other file types
Ideally i want to mirror my dir structure in notion
Unfortunately Notion doesn't have a tool like that. You could probably script it in Python without too much effort. Best they've got is a transfer tool for a platform like confluence, but that's very specific for the confluence
Aye script it is then
is there any server for MATLAB like this one?
Elixir was quite an interesting language to dabble in
But virtually impossible to target windows
bruh these python youtube videos are getting wild
they confidently give possibly the worst solutions
for i in range(len(list)) and then list[i] π
Felt like C code lol
yeah, that's how you would do it in C
that's not even a good way to do that probably
Why what
Why would whoever wrote that do it that way
Because thats probably close to how you would do it in c or java or whatever shit lang they learned
It looks like discount two sum problem
it just looks like twosum, but you can't use the same value

I think I'm addicted to this stuff, and I love it https://flybyjing.com/shop/sichuan-chili-crisp
I like odd potato chips.
The tingly sichuan spice is just so good
I don't remember the chips I had in Italy but they were generically labeled like 'spicy' or something.
And they might as well have been laced with an addictive substance.
oh?

Oh yeah
They even have an extra spicy version that is for some reason stocked at the whole foods near me
damn should i be checking my local whole foods

also this whole "buy now pay, later" thing is getting out of hand
lol
hahahhaa
planet money did an podcast ep over it and it was apparently a whole industry that popped up during the pandemic lmao
buy now pay later has been around for over 2000 years
and the modern form for over 100 years
Sell your data? Also, it can show up on your credit report
I saw a 'finance a pizza' thing recently.
You can quite literally take a personal loan out to order a pizza.
pizza is yummy
they charge the supply side. and apparently it works according to planet money's investigations. since it increases the likelihood the consumer actually purchases the product instead of having "shopping cart syndrome" https://open.spotify.com/episode/1p6X1X8IomAVZU4DY20Z7m
Listen to this episode from Planet Money on Spotify. A wave of companies that allow customers to pay for items from their favorite stores in four interest-free installments has taken over the country. But is "buy now, pay later" lending too good to be true? | Subscribe to our weekly newsletter here.
sorry its been around but apparently got much more profitable during the pandemic
much, much more apparently
Is buy now pay later that new of a concept for people in the US?
I'm afraid that makes no sense on its face
No, it's been around since before there was a USA
I know that, but haven't actually heard of anyone using it in the US until recently
hell remote buying has been around for almost 100 years now (aka the "catalog mail order" business pioneered by sears roebuck & co)
Maybe I'm just clueless
alright mr rmah. you know best.
it's extremely common in the US. most purchasing is financed by credit card companies
well, the banks that are part of the CC network
damn, even banks are part of the Comedy Central network?
indeed
anyway
im not referring to the concept of lending with the term "buy now, pay later". as mentioned in the podcast, im specifically referring to the 3rd party services used in these ecommerce sites to provide this 0 interest, multiple payments service for online buyers.
that specifically
has gone up during the pandemic
true
how many brains do you have
none that are fully functioning
is the sum of them a fully functioning brain?
they are all partially functioning and make up a composite whole
that's good enough

Have a meme
I cant add more Select options in notion without first converting it to Multi-Select
What in the fuck
this is so funny dude
yeah. statuses are kinda bad
yes you can?
sounds like a skill issue
/template
I dont have an option like that
yes you do it came free with your notion
it's that
its what
thats a different thing
the only templates i see are from the template gallery
no you're supposed to like, make your template in the thing i think
But I'd have to submit it for approval
or whatever the process is
no way to have an offline private template?
wait what? no in the button i think
idk what that means
yes but you can use it to insert content
yeah, the button can do that
or you can just duplicate a "template" page
honestly, incredibly dumb
literal beta product

Idk they just asked if godly's project was in the list of vim extensions I know, so I looked it up and found that name
it's quite public and connected to that username
e.g. github
and @next vessel found the wrong name anyway π
no linkedin by that name though π³

No, but also, don't go out of your way to de-pseudonymise people on the server. I'm pretty public about my identity, but a lot of people aren't, and would be upset.
you know, the real advantage of linked lists for deques is that they're way easier to implement for my tiny brain
That is indeed very uncool.
lol what are you trying to do in notion vs. vscode
people like to use that one thingy
obsidian
my friend is obsessed with that one
allows for more customization or whatever
obsidian kinda only has markdown though
it doesn't have kanbans or databases or the other fancy stuff notion has

he's mad at using sticky notes or something
well like, digital sticky notes
if you want more flexibility
just create his own site
he can
since he knows web dev
lol
heh

speaking of databases, this was pretty neat to read https://www.notion.so/blog/sharding-postgres-at-notion
i think chesscom also did that, and i think they've a blog post about it
idk

oh nevermind, it was just about them https://www.chess.com/blog/CHESScom/chess-is-booming-and-our-servers-are-struggling saying they had a problem lmao
Dear chess community, On December 31, we had seven million active members on Chess.com in a single day for the first time. On January 20, we had ten million active members.

ah, it's not that technical
oh well
how many notes do you have
if its not that much you can probs just copy and paste lmao
Got a bunch that follow different structures as markdown with vscode and also got quick notes
Theyre about 60 md files and assorted images and json
Importing programmatically is a nogo with the api atm
ok literally it sounds like you did this to yourself lmao
Well yes
wack
Im trying to move to a better platform
@rugged owl unstructured data irl
at this point youre just missing some audio notes or something
Theyre pretty structured
Well no, actually theyre all well structured its just that theres 3 types of structure
Imagine 3 collections of docs
Also apparently notion bad
Embrace NotePad
youre probably just trying to fit a square block into a round hole or whatever
ok but like, notion is missing so many features
Like MS notepad?
Notepad is first. Notepad is love, Notepad is life.
notion is almost good in most facets
yeah. just like ||python||
i-
jk

Notion api is lacking imho, not being able to upload a file is bullshit
notion is missing a lot
well
i cant even say missing a lot bc it solves my needs lmao
idk what people want from it
like what features do you need
like more features like in OneNote?
Word?
uh, pivot tables, for one
google docs?
just use excel lmao
why do you want your note-taking app to do pivot tables
no lol. excel has less note-taking features
I want snippets like vscode
I want actual status type
I want notion api to let me upload my files
for my stats!
the ratios!
literally just do your stats somewhere else and paste them back in
Where notion issue tracker
or just build something lmao
ok, but when they update i have to do it again
Im gonna spam issues till they fix it
you want a jira + notion mix?
i've written down "notion backend". but i've got like 5 projects to get through first
No i mean, where can i make meta-issues for notion
Oh its on github
oh notion is opensource?
its nice bc i can just enter my numbers in my phone
Brb getting blocked by makenotion
oh it is
then the stats are displayed on the web version
The excessive mouse usage in notion actually hurts my bones
oh, that's just the api
ikr? wtf. and then mar wants an issue tracker in notion. what are these features
So... Jira? or Confluence? 

he was asking for the place where he can make issues about notion
mhm
We already got both those and they suck ass
what do you mean by snippets
I dropped a screenshot further up
This
text expands into bigger text
its like emmet
why not just make your stuff nested
but builtin
bro if notion wants to add tables and kanban boards why can't they add a pivot table
it's not that hard
Why are you using pivot tables for NOTES
not on the roadmap. laughs in PM
i see
it's not for notes, it's for the tables bruh
just make your own site lol
"as designed" fuck off
my workflow currently is
- name folder jira reference/relevant triage name
- make notes.md in it
triage/jira-> ctrl + space- select snippet to expand to template note
you may now laugh at me
π
π
ye
Mine is open Notepad, write notes, name + toss in note folder.
why would i take personal notes, wtf
leaking company secrets be like:
notion wont have the features you need dude
There's so much more other garbage in notion, why couldn't it have this one
i only use notion for tracking schoolwork, random notes, and job apps, lol
they built around personal note-taking
EXACTLY
Jira, confluence 
even trello dude
it has the features mar would need
what the fuck is this if not for work use
Or be me, never touch either one.
do either of those have pivot tables
It's a poor attempt at getting that corporate money.
startups tbh
which can work in any chaotic environment
wtf, I don't have an excel emote


lol sg not having an emote that i do? surprised
I was hoping for notion to be at least decent so I can pitch it for a wiki instead of shitfluence
it's only natural you would have the excel emote
HAHAHA
im leaving hmph

lmfao
π
all you had to do was stay
my deque is not working very properly π¬
i resize and now i'm just overwriting all the old elements
and they were not copied to the new spot
it's always missing the one feature you need π
cute
you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself
it is what it is
I really hate sql, running this 20min pandas thing took me my entire afternoon.

stack recommendations?

use my just started C webserver
which i subsequently split off into making a threadpool project lol
go
im going to be inspired by work and use mongo
or maybe i should be inspired by work again and use oracle

im thinking create-t3-app
dunno what that is

i fixed my deque. issue was not multiplying by sizeof(size_t) π
oh hey i got another interview
sent at 8:27pm π
@high havenI'm starting to understand this bullshit sql request from business side. It's starting to make sense why their requests makes no sense. 
sg i got another interview
Wtf, what cheat code are you using?
you still working? rip.
jk. i only stopped like 10 min ago

anyway
the "uncompetitive company" one
why dont you enlighten our fellow non-data folks

Well, I'm still working because I spent the morning doing nothing I just semi figured out what their mf email meant.
salaried moment
me at the beginning of the week
then my manager was like why dont we just have a meeting with the other team
and i was like ok great let me drill this into their heads

stakeholders are sometimes something else smh
They want data splits on the avg losses for Indmenity/Medical only claims. But they phrase it as the following:
"... averages are for losses in regards to indemnity and medical by state and industry"...
IS THAT indemnity + medical BY state & Industry? OR is that Indemnity BY state & Industry AND medical by state & industry?
ALSO, the FIRST doesn't even make SENSE BECAUSE ADDING THEM IS EVERYTHING. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
That's ALL THE DATA, WHAT SPLITS?

lmao if it was my coworker that received this, hed send it back to them to clarify and say he aint doing shit until they get more specific in their specs
obv in a more polite way in email
but if he was with me at the time, hed cuss them out lmao
wait
i have a screenshot
Bruh, all I got was some mf notes from my boss. And when I asked to clarify wtf this means, my boss is like: "You can ask blah blah".

rofl
Well, if anything I understood our datalake more. 
Pinning me even more into this position. Smh
π³
half data engineer
half data governance person
whatever tf that means

if it makes you feel better, i absolutely hated the bulk of the work they made me do
in march
"Foot in each door department" was what my boss said. I'm becoming that one greak god Hermes. Jack of all traits, master of none.
i would be okay with that if it was actually shit i liked
It's more so that stuff I do does nothing in terms of helping out my career.
All ad hoc stuff are worthless on a resume.
Worthless? Hardly.
well if it makes you feel any better, my favorite podcaster said some words you might not like

:comeatmebruh:
surprised you didnt see it earlier
I take that back. If you truly feel it's worthless then it is. Doesn't sound like a fun time to me. I wouldn't stop that from selling the hell out of how well I handled it though. 
It's more so that I suck ass at SQL. So the same thing that takes me like 30mins in Pandas takes me hours in SQL.
just do it in pandas

Me: Yes, and nobody did it better.
thats what i do

is this the new "just code" except we are all out of a job because of checks notes an autocomplete system?
this is the "drop anything data related and just code"
We have offshore team to do that.
oh... oh I might have bad news for that idea.
Who tells us it takes weeks of "testing" to basically replace an existing script with a new script.

it's cause they're all manually QAing
taking screenshots and building spreadsheets of each test. Individually.
they prob use notion lmao
notion linked into Jira. Come on. Got to think big.
"just code"
Oh that's particularly evil...
- Commit the code
- Push to remote
- Open a PR
- CI runs the tests
- CI opens a Jira ticket for QA team to test
- CI spins for two weeks
- QA team moves the ticket to "done"
- CI fails on deployment please try again.

indeed
one of the devs, when i came to nashville, told me how during a recent p1, he had to stay up 72 hours straight to help debug the issue
what's a p1
oh sweet summer child
P1 is really bad isnt it
Something not quite as bad as a p0
how do i say "i'm interested in the position" but with more emotion
basically one of the reasons why i wouldnt want to be a full dev
"priority 1" ?

"When do I start?"

no but in response to an email for interview availability π©
what is it π
preocts will tell you
"I'm looking forward to engaging with you during the interview process. Will I be able to sign any onboarding papers at that time or will next Tuesday work?"
preocts tell me

"p1" means Priority 1 incident. Second highest ranking you can give it. P0 is commonly just called a crisis.
oof
You simply turn off your computer, and phone. And then 
well if you're a good enough dev, then those won't happen :D
Well, you technically work with a team.

you say this like there isnt anything called tech debt
legacy code
Thanks for reaching out! I am interested in the position.
I am available on:
- Thursday, April 6: 11am-4pm EDT
- Monday, April 10: 3:30pm-4pm EDT
Sincerely,
i've got this so far π₯΄
i simply would not join a company with tech debt π€
things that def dont scale but the business only wants to put features on the roadmap instead of working on tech debt/scaling work
gl with that
Common themes:
p4 - Something is broken, nobody notices it, we'll fix it
p3 - Something is broken, a few people have noticed, here's a work around while we fix it
p2 - Something is broken, most people have noticed, we don't have a work around yet.
p1 - Something is broken, you have to be blind to not notice it. We have no work around, no idea what caused it, and we need an adult
p0 - The business is literally bleeding money, we think the servers are literally on fire, halp.
I wouldn't have a job if this were true. I'd be happy with that.
The biggest difference between a p1 and a p0 excluding legitimate disasters is the involvement of governance, legal, and shareholders (if public).
I'm not sure why but the word "halp" absolutely slays me.
π₯Ί
It's like "Oh shit" versus "Oh shit" and you are on camera in high def.
caught in 4k
what ive noticed is the business (tech-backward companies) will only allow for tech debt/scaling work to be done after something has already exploded
otherwise they want only product features on the roadmap
Isn't that kind of the history of... tech in general?
its worst in some industries vs. others
That's an unhealthy culture that needs changing or avoiding. We have pockets of that where I work. We... aren't polite to those teams and things change fast.
The sheriff that took my finger prints here for my background check said "You're the first person I've met in cybersecurity" and I was like... don't you guys literally have cybersec people auditing these systems? That's my literal finger prints, home address, and all my PII...
Long story short, they don't have a cybersec team...
it really does. thats why i wouldnt want to be a dev at my company. devs notice issue and raises flag -> gets ignored -> time passes -> things explode -> business gives in -> fix finally happens.
rinse and repeat
Show how 16 hours of a dev's time could have saved the company a few hundred million after a p1 and... yeah, minds change. (of course this is literally the fix it only after it breaks mentality)
The point being that I think even now, people just fail to realize how important data infrastructure and security is.
yeah very hard to convince until the incident actually occurs
These 00, 3, 8, ZZ values in my "States" as in US STATES. 
Everyone calls it DevOps.... nobody actually does what DevOps means. 
DevOps develops ops duh
ZZ I think means outside the US no?
data validation fail
oh does it
That's typically how I've seen it represented on datasets.
Huh

No clue what 00,3, and 8 could be.
interesting
why is 00 even a thing. is that a string of 2 zeros bruh
You might also have AE and AP in there.
Technically we have Canada Provence too. e.g. BC.
@young shoal letting software do work for you is nice
ππππππππ
i'm just gonna send this π©
I can't think of how I'd go differently that isn't just all "me". aka, constructively you are saying what needs to be said.
π ok. i'm just trying to not seem "cold" or something
(The main author of texmacs is also one of the authors of the O(n log n) integer multiplication algo paper)
oh interesting. they prob used latex though lol
I read the paper and realized the name was familiar π
"I am eager to interview for the position." if you want to add a little leaning forward I suppose. Where's mina? They are so good with words.
I'm a mallet. I just say what I say.
(just ask chatgpt :^)
so what's the context?
you're in back and forth with a recruiter?
or some other contact at a company?
i applied. they emailed about my availability for interview
though they say they are a "principal software engineer", so i prob don't have to BS that much
the words "ask chatgpt" should be an auto 10min mute 
!rule 10
just ask chatgpt
oh that doesn't even say don't say that
Hi,
Thanks for reaching out! I'm excited to interview with you, I'm available on
... time options ...
let me know if either option works for you....signature...
Also, your format earlier is fine. You don't really need to even add "I'm interested in the position". Sounds a bit out of place given that you're clearly interested by providing time slots.
perhaps
though maybe you were given those time slots?
yeah, they gave some ranges and i gave subsets of them
in that case rephrase last line as "either option works for me"
Is it a video interview? Or initial phone screen and did they give you the name of the hiring manager? (if not recruiter?)
but in general I probably wouldn't overthink it π
Sincerely,
public static void ααα’
actually signing with SavagePastaMan is funnier
I've gone by my last name for the longest time online
my last name is probably shared by at least 50 million people
mine is shared by...9?
Oh I see, then just something like:
Hi RedBar,
Thanks for reaching out! I'm still interested in the internship. Here is my availability:
...
Best, / Thanks,
SAVAGEPASTAMAN
hmmm
Don't over think it lmao
Long as you don't go too far left field, principal SE probably seen all the responses before.
the all caps is an important touch
gonna g?? it
Mf SQL telling me lines I comment out are not valid. 
I started signing emails with
// My Name Here
years ago and it still amuses me
do you just put your actual name underneath or
I meant the //
oh, why lol
they do?
You're going to come back in 5 years and be like:

hmm, maybe it's more of a local custom 
also they literally sent it 1 hour ago. like, 8:30pm
so idrk how this thursday slot is gonna work out lol
Huh, new term learned and forgotten by tomorrow: Bikeshedding
No, I live under a rock.
it's not that uncommon of a term
I think I might have over complicated my original query. I just reduced it by like 1/4 the size. 
perks of not being a dev lol
see like, the company is based in EU, so i didn't think that much of the weird time, but then i realized it's an even worse time in the EU lmao
speaking of which, isn't it past your bedtime fenix
oh?
i've never seen it Β―_(γ)_/Β―
(or you're too young to have written letters by hand maybe)
i may have written like 1, when i was very young
friday and monday off, technically also half of tomorrow but I kinda pushed that half-day to another date
4 day weekend!
oh so that's why my prof decided to not have class on friday
We don't get either off 
where in EU?
Eh fuck it, calling it quits for today. This SQL query is tomorrow's problem
finland i think
huh
Wait, isn't Finland in nato now?
it is
well the HQ is in finland
π
I didn't expect finland
wΓ€rtsilΓ€
yeah
I've never heard of them π
me neither lul
Well, at least it's listed.
they're not a tiny company, lol. they're 17k employees
LaughsIn100ks
and that doesn't look correct
