[timid quartz]

Miko Elbrecht
Hello! I am a...

Some of my work includes:
- Bread Server Library
  - Kotlin library and passion project for extensive interfacing with computers and the internet
  - Support for a wide range of technologies such as binary format interfaces (PNG, MP3, GIF, etc.), cryptography, serial, and GPS
  - Direct access to Windows C++ APIs via Foreign Functions and Memory
- Name a specific Luau project and describe it
- Name something you did in Ada too and describe it

and then list other skills beneath

[spare quartz]

so you want me to move my third point to the top...

but that seems too early..

[timid quartz]

I've heard arguments for listing skills at the top and listing work at the top

[spare quartz]

@flint belfry

[timid quartz]

Personally I think your actual work is more important because it shows that you have applied the skills you have

Skills don't really mean anything for a job if you haven't actually used them for something

also your "opening sentence"

I'd remove the part about not having artistic skill, not really relevant and a recruiter wouldn't care

[spare quartz]

i dunno.. they feel close enough to me..

[timid quartz]

ok but they're still all the way at the bottom

[spare quartz]

siiiiiighhhh

[timid quartz]

you could do

• technical skills
• projects
• other skills

[spare quartz]

okay sooo what if i told you i already applied to 6 jobs with it though

like 20 mintues ago

[timid quartz]

good luck ¯_(ツ)_/¯

if you get noticed and called for an interview lmk

[spare quartz]

they're gonna fire me before i get hired..

if theres ONE company i know wont accept me its probably 1password

they seem too big

[flint belfry]

Erase Tool

[timid quartz]

You could say "Hello! I am a backend programmer with about a decade of experience. My interests include ..., and I've worked on projects ranging from ... to ..."

[timid quartz]

yeah where did you apply to

im curious

[spare quartz]

can you read this
https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?from=app-tracker-saved-appcard&hl=en&jk=d1a1aa958ca00431&tk=1j6g8knh7iepp800

[timid quartz]

yeah I can see the listing

[spare quartz]

https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=d1a1aa958ca00431&from=shareddesktop_copy
https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=f0fc2cece8b8c8d5&from=shareddesktop_copy

• 4 more

indeed is really opaque in my history so i can't find the other listings

they sent back an auto email though

i was gonna try and apply to that medical company but

i found out "staff developer" doesn't mean like. you're just a developer

it means you're a pretty big deal..

[spare quartz]

https://youtu.be/2ElAsCBNF1U?list=PLOdAdSdl8FLDhxjYCdI03jVZjS7yHsmu4

get a job kade.

[flint belfry]

i literally have one

you dont

[spare quartz]

get a better job.

[flint belfry]

get up to my level then you can tell me what to do

smh

[timid quartz]

I kinda doubt you'll get an interview but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

the swe market is just super saturated rn

[spare quartz]

well the alternative is

[timid quartz]

this isn't 2019-2021 where they'll hire anyone who can type on a keyboard

[rustic vine]

bro..

[spare quartz]

okay but you know by now that's not the issue now

it's actually getting seen.......

[rustic vine]

why is ur education first 😭

[spare quartz]

he's a schoolboy

[timid quartz]

wdym why is my education first

im still in college

[rustic vine]

mine is last

[spare quartz]

mine is nowhere

[rustic vine]

its at the bottom

cuz it doesnt matter

I jus put work experience at the top

[timid quartz]

ig ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I also have like

0 swe experience

in terms of like corporate swe

[spare quartz]

guardsman is close enough...

[timid quartz]

ig I could put projects/activities at the top but

@rustic vine what do you think of atp's resume

[spare quartz]

he's gonna tell me it's terrible too and ill have so many redundant messages :<

[rustic vine]

I didnt see it

[rustic vine]

internship?

[rustic vine]

virus

[timid quartz]

@rustic vine

[spare quartz]

it has kotlin inside..

[rustic vine]

powered by Kt

[timid quartz]

0

[rustic vine]

no way

[timid quartz]

closest I have is guardsman, robotics club, and vip

[rustic vine]

😭

[rustic vine]

um

this kind of resume is prolly ok if u are OP

[spare quartz]

who is op

[rustic vine]

and companies are desperate to get u

[spare quartz]

oh that op

[rustic vine]

then u can jus do whatever on ur resume lowk

but idk if thats a good idea for your first job

[timid quartz]

the real test is if atp gets called for an interview

[rustic vine]

prolly

[spare quartz]

what do i do in the case that i do..

[timid quartz]

uh dress nice

practice questions

[spare quartz]

its remote jobs

[timid quartz]

yeah so you'll get remote interviews

[rustic vine]

still has interview

[timid quartz]

lol

[spare quartz]

well i dont have a camera

[rustic vine]

u need one

[timid quartz]

mm kinda need one

yeah

[spare quartz]

hmmmm

does a weird ip camera thing work

[rustic vine]

I think your writing is pretty passive

which is probably not good

[timid quartz]

if atp gets an interview and especially if atp gets an offer I'm prob gonna change my resume immediately lol

[rustic vine]

lol

[spare quartz]

what 😭

[rustic vine]

same

tho I don't think you can get away with this kind of resume unless you are stacked

[timid quartz]

yeah same

[rustic vine]

half the companies do AI screenings too

and the AI will be like

[timid quartz]

yeah that's what I said

[rustic vine]

dang this resume is weird format

[timid quartz]

the ATS will just like

[rustic vine]

reject

[timid quartz]

send it to the bin

[rustic vine]

wait it lowk might also be goated

I dunno

give it a try maybe

with this

[spare quartz]

well rn i kinda just have to wait for any email

[rustic vine]

I think you should advocate for yourself more

[spare quartz]

HOPEFULLY ONE FROM GSA FIRST

[rustic vine]

and avoid being so passive

oh did u already apply

[spare quartz]

yes

[rustic vine]

goat

[spare quartz]

uhh harry

you know more than me

[rustic vine]

also I would prolly keep it to 1 page

[spare quartz]

do you know exactly what staff developer means

[timid quartz]

it's like above sr dev

iirc

[spare quartz]

the gist of it is, the only part on the second is my github/document written date

[rustic vine]

its the same as a staff engineer

[spare quartz]

what is that

[timid quartz]

yeah one of the things is like, speaking very actively

so like

start with power verb, explain what you did, explain impact

pretty typical format

[rustic vine]

🤷‍♂️

its company dependant

you don't rlly hear the term much

staff developer

[timid quartz]

im pretty sure staff is above sr

[rustic vine]

the title doesn't mean really anything

[timid quartz]

like you have jr, sr, staff, principal

[rustic vine]

yes

[timid quartz]

i think

[rustic vine]

its supposed to be

but who knows

companies are weird

[spare quartz]

sooo

[timid quartz]

normally you get an idea from yoe required

[spare quartz]

at what level does it start getting more political-y more than work-y

[timid quartz]

all of them

the moment you get hired

[rustic vine]

all of them

[spare quartz]

im only really familiar with the military levels of "employment"

[rustic vine]

if ur real question is when do you get people under you

that would be senior prolly

[timid quartz]

yeah sr usually

sr manages jrs

[spare quartz]

sr is old..

[timid quartz]

a lot of sr devs are only like 5yoe lol

[rustic vine]

imo I wouldn't bother applying for anything thats not entry level

[spare quartz]

👵

[rustic vine]

because if you haven't worked a swe job yet its pretty unlikely they will want to hire you

[timid quartz]

mfw entry level is still 3yoe

[rustic vine]

yeah well

its better than

sr devs

and beyond

[timid quartz]

but yeah harry

0 internships

lmfao

[spare quartz]

poor...

[rustic vine]

bro what u did all 4 yrs then

[timid quartz]

ok well like freshman year

i didnt rlly try

was still adjusting and was like "nobody gon hire a freshman"

[rustic vine]

it was also covid yea?

[timid quartz]

yeah

[rustic vine]

rip

[timid quartz]

so I SHOULD have tried then

[rustic vine]

ye

100% lol

[timid quartz]

but then the following years

ig I just didn't apply to enough places + my resume was kinda weak (didnt have many projects)

0 interviews

[rustic vine]

whatd u do summer after freshman year

[timid quartz]

worked IT @ high school

same for sophomore year cause I didnt get anuything

jr year I studied abroad

last summer I worked IT up here

[rustic vine]

where?

[timid quartz]

I wanna go into swe but all my experience is it 😭

[timid quartz]

japan

[spare quartz]

nerd..

[rustic vine]

dang thats cool

[timid quartz]

it was so fun

[rustic vine]

did u enjoy that

[timid quartz]

but not rlly a resume item

yeah

i enjoyed it so much

like it sucked to have 0 job but

[rustic vine]

did u fund that urself

[timid quartz]

partially

grandparents helped a lot

[rustic vine]

awesome

well I dunno what I can say

I think u know what I would say

[timid quartz]

im cooked lmfao

[rustic vine]

well

[spare quartz]

nah you're fine

👍

[timid quartz]

idk I could pivot IT, use spare time to build up projects + maybe a startup....

use that as experience to get into SWE

[rustic vine]

I think u need to build some connections

[timid quartz]

or just get stuck in IT all my life

lol

[rustic vine]

but your last 4 years was for that

[timid quartz]

I have a few

[rustic vine]

no job opportunities from them?

[timid quartz]

internships nah

as for full time

a lot of them have said to check back around nov

cause the full time that they have open now

they want to start like this month

[rustic vine]

sorry I gotta go for a bit

[timid quartz]

bye

but yeah

ik im cooked lmao

forced to do IT forever

[spare quartz]

ughh why is searching for jobs with ada such a pain

i dont want ADA info i want Ada info

[timid quartz]

y u even applying

you're not 18

[spare quartz]

you dont need to be 18 to work

[timid quartz]

idk if they'll hire you if youre <18

[spare quartz]

plus i turn 18 in like

6 months

which is the amount of time BSL has been a thing!

[timid quartz]

thinking about job makes me depressed lowk

thinking abt all the stuff I should have done

[spare quartz]

well then stop doing that

[timid quartz]

and how behind I am now

[spare quartz]

you should've invested in crypto 2 decades ago

[timid quartz]

i was a baby 2 decades ago

you didnt even exist

[spare quartz]

yeah

should've told your parents

but you didn't.

[timid quartz]

vs like 3 years ago I could have had a shot at an internship but didnt try hard enough

[spare quartz]

mmmmbbm

i need the government to turn on..

[timid quartz]

govt should stay off

[spare quartz]

they shouldn't//

should i apply to the nsa..

[timid quartz]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

you dont have anything to lose

[spare quartz]

they're gonna break into my house and kill me :<

[spare quartz]

• Software Specialties: Strong software development skills (C, C++, Assembly, ARM);

oh thats actually me

not the C/C++ parts just hte assembly and arm...

[timid quartz]

im so cooked...

wont be able to find a job..

end up homeless...

[spare quartz]

no..

[timid quartz]

maybe I need to get a master's degree just to put myself back into the internship-eligible pool

[spare quartz]

done

i should really memorize my SSN

i keep having to look thoruhg my phone for it 😭

[pallid loom]

how long are ssns even

in EU we've got OIB

[spare quartz]

3-2-4 numbers

in total 9

[pallid loom]

11 here

all a continous number

[spare quartz]

632-xx-xxxx 💪

[pallid loom]

also tbh it's really stupid to me that there's no newer standard than ssn

iirc ssn is dead easy to reverse

[spare quartz]

well there is, but.. a lot of companies still use it

like your ID

[pallid loom]

i guess that's also why identitity theft is a lot more common in the us

here it's basically nonexistant

[pallid loom]

i thought you guys didn't have ids?

[spare quartz]

(or DL since thats basically the same thing as an ID)

[spare quartz]

we do, i have my REAL ID

[pallid loom]

that's a stupid concept imo

if you're below 16 then what

[spare quartz]

you get an ID

[pallid loom]

you're not identified since you don't drive

[spare quartz]

no an ID and a DL is separate

[pallid loom]

i do know that

[spare quartz]

they can both be used as an ID

[pallid loom]

drivers and id

because iirc i read somewhere that ids arent even mandatory in the us

because it infirnges on the constitution or something

[spare quartz]

ive never heard that before

i just know pretty recently they updated the ID/DLs to REAL IDs

and you can't go on a plane if you don't update

[pallid loom]

i assume you guys also have digital ids

[spare quartz]

not sure

[pallid loom]

here they exist but aren't mandatory

apart from well doing stuff online

[timid quartz]

I’m so cooked….

[pallid loom]

like health data and so on

[spare quartz]

stupid dumb nsa

making me answer 90000 questions

[pallid loom]

turn off hdr!!!

[spare quartz]

nooo it looks coolll

[pallid loom]

it dont

[spare quartz]

okay well

thats just cause snipping tool is crap

[pallid loom]

have hdr
https://new.cdn.teo0781.dev/u/b63b122f-1f15-4566-91fd-bd23e0d0d736.png

holy shit this makes everything so much worse it's incredible

white looks gray and not white

[spare quartz]

you need to calibrate your monitor if it looks like that

occassionally it deepfries videos if your browser glitches out though

[pallid loom]

i know but it's

worthless basically

[spare quartz]

noooooooo

[pallid loom]

iirc not even my phone has hdr

[spare quartz]

well most modern phones have OLED now

[pallid loom]

nvm it does but not a lot of content supports it

s23 ultra

[spare quartz]

and OLEDs stunning... too expensive for my monitor though

[pallid loom]

oled is really nice

but tbh if a panel is made well then i don't really want an oled

for example in my car it looks pretty similar to oled

of course not as black or anything, but good enough for most usecases

[spare quartz]

my monitors still emit a pretty bright "black" so i would prefer to have an OLED screen in the future

[pallid loom]

didn't medicaid do that though

[spare quartz]

medicaids in a really weird spot

[pallid loom]

only for it to be eliminated so united healthcare can get another ceo killed

[spare quartz]

rn i have CHAMPVA which is a damn good insurance imo

but it requires i stay in school to keep the benefits

[pallid loom]

still is insane to me that you need to pick your insurance company

like the way it works here is the following

in croatia atleast

if you are in school, you have healthcare

college included

if not, its taken as taxes from your paycheck

and if not even that, only 80 € / mo.

80 € / mo. and you get all the same healthcare as everyone else

of course, we also have "extended" healthcare which gives you discounts on some medicines

but like 95% of them are covered by basic, the ones that aren't are like cancer treatments and such

[spare quartz]

that seems a little backwards

[pallid loom]

in which case you have to pay like 10% of the selling price

[pallid loom]

seems normal to me

[spare quartz]

shouldn't the treatment for most life threatening stuff be the most freely availalbe

[pallid loom]

oh yeah for sure

[spare quartz]

and then the more benign the "least" freely available

[pallid loom]

i expressed myself wrong

they will give you all the medicine necessary

be it you have money or not

then you owe the goverment a certain amount

that amount doesn't increase over time

0% interest

and only experimental drugs aren't covered under that

[spare quartz]

CHAMPVA pays off all medical treatments for the entire year after $3,000 is spent

[pallid loom]

for example normal chemo is completely free

[spare quartz]

but still gotta go to school since im not a "helpless child"

[pallid loom]

radiation aswell

only experimental shit is what you need to pay

or well, medicines that aren't prescribed

for example painkillers

a box of i think 20 tablets costs like 5€

1000 mg dose and 2000 mg being the daily max

so it's pretty affordable if you ask me

and ambulance rides and such are completely free

[pallid loom]

if you had some treatment done that requires painkillers, they're free of course

i'm pretty glad that i don't need to worry about paying shit if i'm in pain from breaking a leg

[spare quartz]

general anesthetic at a reasonable price and time? satisfactory

[pallid loom]

that's free as well

like i went thru multiple well not surgeries

i don't know how they're called

black spots on your skin

that can become skin cancer if exposed to sun for too long or mutate

basically i went in, got them removed, exited, no bill

just "have a nice day!"

[spare quartz]

oh the weird melanoma things

[pallid loom]

yeah

[spare quartz]

i haven't been to the hospital for a long time now, but i might be getting eye surgery soon

[pallid loom]

or for example my dad had to have a knee surgery

went in

did the surgery

stayed for a couple of days

no bill

[spare quartz]

i think my care was free when i was a child and got seriously hurt due to military crap

[pallid loom]

and it was a full on surgery, he wasn't awake

[pallid loom]

?

is it something serious or

[spare quartz]

its not dibilitating or gonna kill me, but basically my left eye is terrible at its job, and i can't see better than 20/50 even with correction

also i always see double

[pallid loom]

what surgery

i hope not LASIK?

[spare quartz]

LASIK will only fix the lenses, it's probably gonna relate to the muscles within my socket

thats for them to figure out though

[pallid loom]

ah okay

[spare quartz]

im just the drug recipient!!!

[pallid loom]

i thought you already had an apppointment or something

but LASIK is a really mixed bag

either you see perfectly well or you are in pain for the rest of your life

a bet i honestly wouldn't take

[spare quartz]

i have multiple, my first one where the specialist looks at me is in 9 days

[pallid loom]

also having to constantly lubricate your eyes or they'll seal shut is a bit...

yeah.,...

[spare quartz]

my eye doctor said the same thing, he thinks i should try out contacts instead of corrective lens surgery

[pallid loom]

oh most deff

i have a friend who has glasses / contacts

depending on when used and in what enviroment

contacts are nice (not speaking from my own experience though), since you have the same visual appearance but you're able to see

[spare quartz]

mbmbmbbmmmm

i forgot how long a shutdown takes to clear....

mainly cause this is the first time its actually affected me

[pallid loom]

just trump things

[spare quartz]

more like congress..

[pallid loom]

demolish a country but hey atleast the oval office has gold now

[spare quartz]

they can't figure out how to run the spending much less the country

[pallid loom]

95% to the army

yes please

[spare quartz]

more like 95% to ICE

[pallid loom]

other 2% can go to infra

[spare quartz]

seriously i got no idea how they could spend so much on ICE

[pallid loom]

wdym

it's really simple

same situation as in the balkans

corruption

that's about it

[spare quartz]

like WHAT immigrants are they trying to find

we're not like mexico where the whole country is armed (in the cartel sense)

[pallid loom]

the ones that are ruining the country and killing innocent people

(domestic are more likely to commit crimes)

[pallid loom]

and i don't mean domestic immigrants, people that are born in the us with us past

that's what the stats say atleast

[spare quartz]

yeah but if you try and use stats they're also gonna say "umm actually it's the black people doing it the data says it"

cause wouldn't you know it black people are put in prison more

wonder how that works

[pallid loom]

honestly though the biggest issue is just the culture that's been forced

or well the "narrative"

there's an interesting thing i noticed aswell

[spare quartz]

social media is a poison

[pallid loom]

may be kind of applicable in this convo

but basically in the balkans (where i'm from), there are constant disagreements with other nationals

croatians & serbs, serbs & albanians, so on

i'm currently living in Austria for my studies

balkan people are 30% of population here

those same wars don't exist

what i'm trying to say is, people when not under an influence of someone else can be nice

like serbs, croats, albanians, and so on live in harmony here

[timid quartz]

I’m so cooked…

[pallid loom]

greeting each other in the street, while in the balkans they hate eachother

[spare quartz]

YOU'RE FINE..

[pallid loom]

same could be applied to racial minorities

[spare quartz]

you're even higher educated than me bro....

[timid quartz]

It’s real aera doomerposting hours

[pallid loom]

what's cooked

[spare quartz]

aera is scared he wont get a job

and he's doomed to IT or homelessness

[pallid loom]

oh that's true

finished IT?

to the homeless camp you go

i'll be joining you in 3 years

no but fr, honestly no stressing about it

[timid quartz]

yipee..

[timid quartz]

ALL stressing about it

[spare quartz]

chaoing about it*

[timid quartz]

Honestly

[timid quartz]

maybe if I pick up a quirk like being a hardcore furry

[spare quartz]

nooo

dont do thattt

[timid quartz]

And like get rid of all my irl friends

And become gay

[spare quartz]

furries in IT are the most insufferable people imaginable

noooooooooooo

[timid quartz]

Maybe I’ll have enough free time and autism and motivation to grind out a huge project solo

[spare quartz]

im not in IT ❌

[pallid loom]

not yet

[spare quartz]

and i dont advertise im a furry ❌

[timid quartz]

And then finally get noticed enough for an entry-level job

[pallid loom]

[spare quartz]

thats just really cute art

[timid quartz]

Something like https://revolt.chat

[spare quartz]

aeraaa

just work on Aerasto Stupid Library

..

[pallid loom]

okay honest piece of advice

do some let's say charitable projects

you don't get paid but are able to put it on your cv

and by doing so you show that money isn't your main prior

people, atleast here, really value that

[timid quartz]

need to find them…

[pallid loom]

start searching

[timid quartz]

the nonprofit work…

[pallid loom]

won't be difficult

[timid quartz]

in coding….

[pallid loom]

honestly think of an issue that exists

idfk in my school there was a shitty notification system over teams

i made my own solution

there's your charity work

[spare quartz]

wait

[pallid loom]

you build rep while getting experience

[spare quartz]

you're good at rust right

apply to the NSA aera...

[timid quartz]

yeah…

[pallid loom]

just don't rewrite software for the 50 billionth time please

[timid quartz]

idk I don’t really have any rust projects…

[spare quartz]

write one.............

[timid quartz]

for resume…

[pallid loom]

make some

just told you how

ask your uni or whatever if they need anything

[timid quartz]

The closest thing I have rn is Shield lo

[pallid loom]

with some prof or whatever

like it doesn't even need to be that advanced

nobody will honestly look at the code behind it

it can be the most janky shit imaginable

as long as you did it yourself, know how it works, came up with ideas, and put them into practice

afaik companies don't look for people that aren't able to do problem solving on their own

sure you know how to write rust

do you know how the hell to intergrate it with ancient php

[spare quartz]

more companies need to integrate kotlin with windows C++ code

(not using jni)

[pallid loom]

doing work for FOSS also helps

no reward for you in it apart from rep but you gain experience

[spare quartz]

now forrrrrrr

[timid quartz]

well even when like

doing project

need to keep applying

[timid quartz]

yeah im out in 2 months and I'd have more time to make stuff then but like

[timid quartz]

mmmmm doing wat tho

[rustic vine]

I dunno. something you are passionate about

I can't tell you what that is

[timid quartz]

me neither lo

me and a friend thought about it

but we couldnt come up with an idea

[rustic vine]

do u volunteer

[timid quartz]

volunteer code? no

teo was mentioning that

i might

but again...schoolwork...

at least rn

[rustic vine]

no

volunteer in general

[timid quartz]

uhhhh sometimes yeah

a group im in does homeless ministry a few times a semester

[spare quartz]

typedef unsigned long ULONG; [u32]

[rustic vine]

the people I meet doing volunteering have often been incredible resources

that is why I mention it

[timid quartz]

also you reminded me I need to reach out to my highschool frc faculty mentor and see if he still needs help teaching the kids how to program in java lmfao

[rustic vine]

and its mostly other adults that were strangers to me before

not other students

[timid quartz]

yeah a lot of my connections rn are from that group

but none of them are like hiring managers

they can refer me to their hiring manager but like

that's it

[rustic vine]

almost all my volunteering is frc

btw

I've met so many people doing that

[timid quartz]

frc ❤️

[rustic vine]

also I do a good chunk of

oss work for the software frc uses

that is most of my volunteering

[rustic vine]

so wat

hiring managers r useless anyway

get referred to your future boss instead

[timid quartz]

hiring manager make decision...

[rustic vine]

so wat

if you can get someone on the inside to vouch for u

then it doesn't matter who makes the decision

getting referred to a hiring manager is dumb anyway

cuz they hire all the time

no need for a referral lol

I guess my point is that I think its more useful to get to know someone who could be your future boss

[timid quartz]

ic what u mean

[rustic vine]

also that boss will relate to what u wanna do

and understand why/how you're a good fit

better than a hiring manager

so theres 0 reason to try and specifically find a recruiter connection

tho any connection is a good connection

[timid quartz]

what if i just like...

become hikikomori neet...

[rustic vine]

wuts that

[spare quartz]

bayachao but weirder

[rustic vine]

I dunno what baya chao is

[timid quartz]

good

[rustic vine]

so what is this

also have u thought about working overseas

like in Jap or something

I dunno how the job market is there

just a thought

seems like u like the country

[timid quartz]

bro if i was alr gonna have to get underpaid in the us

japan would be worse

[rustic vine]

oh

I mean unless you need to sustain yourself with a job

I wouldn't rlly care about the money too much unless its unreasonably low

to just get job experience I think is important

can do it for a couple months, a year maybe

then you will have a much easier time applying elsewhere

and get appropriately compensated

I think a secret cheat code (not rlly, but people look down on it for some reason?)

is to live with your parents (as long as they are willing)

that way you don't have to pay rent, or you can share it

it makes it infinitely easier to start building wealth from entry level jobs

and building up some wealth to work with (invest, financial freedom, whatever) is imo crucial as early as you can

doing that is just much more difficult if you have to pay for your own living expenses

dunno why people look down on it, its honestly genius

[timid quartz]

my dad would make me pay rent lmfao

[rustic vine]

maybe renting with other people then

I just mentioned it as a possibility

and it was a thought I had a week or so ago talking w someone

[timid quartz]

maybe ill just like kill myself idk

[flint belfry]

i

[spare quartz]

u

[rustic vine]

wut

u ok

[timid quartz]

h

idk bro i feel like a bum

just dont do shit

no desire to do shit

idk

[rustic vine]

then do something abt it

literally anything

[spare quartz]

The shutdown is the twenty-first in modern U.S. history and the third under President Donald Trump. It furloughed roughly 900,000 federal employees and left another 700,000 working without pay. While essential services such as Medicare, Medicaid, the Transportation Security Administration, and Amtrak continued, many agencies, including the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the WIC program, faced partial or full suspensions of operations.

waaaahhh

[rustic vine]

just do something

[spare quartz]

oh my god that is so sad

[timid quartz]

easier said than done bro

how to tell bro hasnt been depressed

[rustic vine]

sorry

I dunno your situation

why this cycle of not doing anything and not wanting to do anything?

[burnt locust]

gonna attempt to learn lua

along with logic gates

need it for a stormworks project

[timid quartz]

if by “logic gates” you mean stuff like AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR, etc, those are really easy

but if you need help with Lua then feel free to chat here @burnt locust

or just generally feel free for any programming topic lol

[flint belfry]

@spare quartz the shakeshack at my airport uses or*cle

[spare quartz]

I was able to add in SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, SHA3-256, SHA3-384, SHA3-512, MD5, MD4, MD2 last night

I’m proud of myself …

https://github.com/Bread-Experts-Group/bread_server_lib/blob/main/src/test/kotlin/api/secure/cryptography/CryptographySystemTest.kt

[burnt locust]

alright awesome

[burnt locust]

yah all that

[timid quartz]

logic gates are uber simple

AND, OR, NOT are all self explanatory
XOR is eXclusive OR, it's basically the same as OR except if you have A=B=1 then A XOR B = 0
NAND, NOR, XNOR, etc are all like their normal gates except the output is NOTted

[spare quartz]

(all you need to emulate all logic gates is NAND)

[burnt locust]

i got lost at XOR

😭

hold on ill pull up my stormworks stuff

its pretty cool

[timid quartz]

basically

Two inputs a and b

a = 0, b = 0 | a XOR b = 0
a = 1, b = 0 | a XOR b = 1
a = 0, b = 1 | a XOR b = 1
a = 1, b = 1 | a XOR b = 0

"exclusive"

only A or B may be 1, not both

[burnt locust]

Where is the mocking

[spare quartz]

what is "mocking"

[rustic vine]

Mockito.mock

[rustic vine]

Wait u don't know?

[spare quartz]

no..

[rustic vine]

Omg

I know something about Java that atp doesn't

[spare quartz]

well because i really only study the class libraries and the JVM...

i never use libraries, remember...

[rustic vine]

Ok but ur using JUnit

[spare quartz]

yeah but thats integrated into my IDE

i can't control that

[rustic vine]

Check out mockito then

You might find it cool

Maybe can give you some ideas

[spare quartz]

what is it for

[rustic vine]

The way its implemented must be rlly interesting actually

[spare quartz]

because from a high level perspective it doesn't sound super useful to me

[rustic vine]

I've never looked proper

[spare quartz]

and i can only think of one field where it WOULD be useful, but... sun.misc.Unsafe

[rustic vine]

Basically it can create mock objects of different classes

That you can use as stand-ins for that class

You can do a lot with these mocks

And mocking can be very useful for testing

[spare quartz]

oh

[rustic vine]

Eg. you can verify a certain interaction happened with a mock

[spare quartz]

im gonna be honest i very partially use tests for like, actual unit testing

i find them a lot more useful as mini scratch projects for APIs im writing

[rustic vine]

Give the docs a quick read they'll explain better than I can

[rustic vine]

I've always been interested in learning how mockito actually works behind the scenes

Cuz it seems so powerful

[rustic vine]

Code looks good regardless tho

[spare quartz]

well the way it looks to me is it's probably an agent or using sun.misc.Unsafe

[rustic vine]

Well its open source methinks

[spare quartz]

soooo lazyyy though

i wanna code in MACs

[rustic vine]

import static org.mockito.Mockito.*;

// mock creation
List mockedList = mock(List.class);
// or even simpler with Mockito 4.10.0+
// List mockedList = mock();

// using mock object - it does not throw any "unexpected interaction" exception
mockedList.add("one");
mockedList.clear();

// selective, explicit, highly readable verification
verify(mockedList).add("one");
verify(mockedList).clear();```

// you can mock concrete classes, not only interfaces
LinkedList mockedList = mock(LinkedList.class);
// or even simpler with Mockito 4.10.0+
// LinkedList mockedList = mock();

// stubbing appears before the actual execution
when(mockedList.get(0)).thenReturn("first");

// the following prints "first"
System.out.println(mockedList.get(0));

// the following prints "null" because get(999) was not stubbed
System.out.println(mockedList.get(999));```

[spare quartz]

i also need to write multithreaded hashing augh

[rustic vine]

Pulled those from the docs site

[spare quartz]

rn the speed is ~800,000 hashes per second though (srl) ...

[rustic vine]

Does it make more sense now

We used it to an extent for unit testing

[spare quartz]
