Hm. Got tagged on a spam post that just says “hi”.

Ah, I didn’t know you could @moderation
in the conversation.
I’ve been using Vim for over 10 years. The first few years I used it badly. Later I took time to really learn it. Now I can use it fairly decently, but I still learn new things every now and then.
It feels like a really good investment. It’s been around forever, it’s gonna be around forever, it’s installed on almost all computers, and you’re going to be forced to use it at some point or another.
I really enjoy being able to go to any computer and starting up a familiar editor, without installing or configuring stuff. I also use a very vanilla Vim. If a coworker’s laptop or some server has a different Vim config than mine, I can usually do vim -u NONE
to get back to a familiar place.
if I choose to store them online/cloud encrypted / (edit: encrypt first then upload it) … there’s always the potential for a very near future breaches or compromises
Does this matter? Say you upload your encrypted photo backup to Mega Upload (or whatever) and some unauthorized person gets a copy of your encrypted data. So? It’s encrypted? They can’t read or see the data?
Are you worried about state actors breaking the encryption?
Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile
OH SHIT! That’s right! I forgot! Kendrick was doing the half time show! 😂
Thank you for posting this! I gotta watch the half time show now!
I only code in binary-encoded programming languages.
Ah, ok. I was barking up the wrong tree.
I tried a random Writefreely instance and it was extremely barebones and had poor markdown styling. It gave me the impression that Writefreely is more for publishing short stories, rather than technical content.
(Is that the point of Writefreely?)
It doesn’t matter if I’m a good person, if I don’t believe in god, I’m going to hellll.
Every time I go to Mexico, one of the first things I do is get tacos! I NEEEED EM!!!
Has someone actually been on an interview panel, where you decide to hire someone because they’re black?
(I definitely haven’t. Although, I haven’t been in a position that was in charge of mass hiring.)
surely you are not surprised that given a candidate that shows some interest, and a candidate that doesn’t care, the company would prefer the former.
Definitely. That’s why I lie.
if someone else is, then they will probably be easier to work with.
I actually really challenge this point. Specifically because I don’t care, I would say I’m very easy to work with. Example: Did the manager just order us to do something really stupid? Sounds good to me! I’m on it, boss! On the other hand, I’ve worked with tons of people who care way too much. Sometimes it seems like they think it’s their company. Those people are hard to work with.
The order doesn’t even have to be stupid, it can just be something the passionate employee disagrees with. At a previous company, we were told to make some app work because we had an important demo coming up. One super passionate dude on my team almost derailed us because he insisted that we fix the app the “correct” way. In theory, he was correct, however in practice he was dead wrong.
I didn’t care either way, so I just made the thing work.
I could say “I noticed you use MQTT for networking the pots…
Yeah, this is the same game I play. I avoid answering their question of “Why FlowerPot.ly?” and just give some generic answer that applies to any company, not specifically FlowerPot.ly. I would also throw in some lies like, “My brother owns an IoT flower pot. I think it’s so cool!”.
Imagine you got 3 job offers … the interviewer wants to know why his company is the one you’d choose
Because you expressed interest in hiring me? And I need a job? So I’m here? I’d also be perfectly content picking the other 2 companies if it’s the same salary.
What caught your eye about this job posting?
The fact that you guys said you were hiring?
they’d prefer someone who is interested
I guess this is the real problem. I don’t care about your company. I’m here to exchange my time for money. I have my own interests and they don’t involve working at your company.
But, yes fine. I understand this is the game I have to play. I will lie to you and tell you that it’s been my dream since I was a little kid to work at your dumb company, selling shit that no one needs or tricking people into giving you money.
One company that asked me this made… let’s say IoT flower pots (something mundane like that)… I guess I’m supposed to say: OMG! I. LOVE. CONNECTED. FLOWER. POTS! How did humanity survive without internet connected flower pots??! My sole purpose in life is to help make IoT flower pots. Please allow me to join you guys! 🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
Is it not possible to have something like this?
Sorry, I meant it’s up my alley to have this phone up my ally.
Mmm. Engine block eggs. If we can keep these down, we’ll be sitting pretty.
