"Hey internet I was thinking of cutting some of my babies dick off"

"Bro wtf what"

"Just a lil bit, just the tip!"

"Aw okay that's fine mate!"

Did you think this would be how it goes?

Don't.... cut parts of your baby's dick off dude, it's a weird thing to do.

... Proceeds to use Svelte cuz it has the exact features I want

React is popular but I honestly don't care about llm weenie vibe coder junior devs being biased towards react. Lions don't concern themselves with the opinions of sheep.

The majority of shit apps are being made with react sure.

But skilled seniors who intend to make something robust don't even tend to have an llm enabled that will even influence their opinion on the first place. The majority of senior devs keep repeating the same sentiment: llms primarily are slowing them down more than helping.

Junior devs that crutch on llms are falling behind and the quality of their output shows. They grow slower and produce worse output.

It's one thing to use it for monotonous tasks, but if it influences your higher level important decisions you are probably already cooked.

Or.. I know what I'm talking about maybe.

For perspective, I sit at around a 40%-50% callback rate on my submissions to go to screening, when I'm looking for a job.

Formatting is honestly a big part. Left align what matters.

Too wordy, missing key details, too big, too small, etc

Missing they key words the job posting covers. If the job posting talks about Node and angular and your resume doesn't explicitly namedrop them, then it loses a tonne of points.

Usually the majority of resumes that pass the sanity check then go to screening. You'd be surprised how many people just screw up basic stuff.

Every single time I've had someone complain to me about job offers, I'll grab a random job posting I find and ask em to send me the version of their resume + cover letter they would send to that specific posting.

Quite often within a min or two I can find several reasons why their resume would've gotten bin'd

[–] pixxelkick@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

Usually these sorts of results are an issue with your resume or cover letter.

As someone on the other end, the sheer amount of applications I get means any resume that isn't setup correctly can just go straight into the bin and I still have hundreds of good resumes to work with.

If the majority of your applications get rejected/ignored BEFORE a screener that means your resume or cover letter is improperly formatted or something is wrong with them that triggers an auto reject

Whenever a racing game comes out and they put sonic in a vehicle, I wish they'd note it in the lore itself

It's gotta be a case of "sonic we are putting you in this car to make this race fair" which I'd find hilarious if they acknowledge it out loud.

IE have him say something like "don't make me get out of this car" or whatever as a threat, or, "I'd have won if I wasn't in this hunk of junk" or etc

The entire concept of Sonic in a car is hilarious to me, because while everyone else is going fast, he's just like "oh my goooood why is this thing so slooooww"

What makes that the more likely scenario?

Because it's their facility

this facility has never had this issue until the FBI showed up to commandeer their incinerator.

Says who?

For all we know they've had issues everytime they incinerate but they ignored it cuz a lil bit of smoke from 1 cat is way easier to shrug off compared to a huge amount of meth

It's very possible they just have been ignoring the problem because normal smoke from incineration a very small cadaver isn't a big deal, whereas meth fumes are extremely toxic and not something you can just shrug off

Lord knows I've worked with workers who have the "I've been doing it this way for 10 years and never had an issue, don't be a pussy" type of attitude too

So hard to say, without more info it's basically just us speculating.

rather than the FBI for their clear incompetence?

The article has not stated who was responsible for operation of the facility.

It's more likely the responsibility was on the staff to ensure the equipment at their own facility was functioning right

This sort of error should have been covered by prior operation licensing checks, a facility with an incinerator on premises shouldn't have negative pressure issues

So something somehow caused a negative pressure issue.

Usually the culprit is some kind of exhaust fan being run, or a door being left open too long

Based on time of year and how hot out it is, I wonder if a staff member left a door propped open or something.

Incinerator systems need positive pressure overall.

Anyone who lives in the north and has a gas based furnace heating system knows how deadly negative air pressure can be...

Read the article:

The incinerator is usually used by animal control officers to dispose of euthanised animals, but local authorities said it can also be used by law enforcement to burn seized narcotics.

[–] pixxelkick@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago (16 children)

The incident was caused when smoke was pushed in the wrong direction because of negative pressure, according to Assistant City Administrator Kevin Iffland.

That sounds like it wasn't a method specific issue, and if anything had been burnt in that incinerator it would've caused the same issue.

Sounds like the facility wasn't setup right, any facility with an incinerator should definitely have positive pressure, not negative.

Getting a later special meeting request with the ceo, at one company, because he wanted feedback on their interview process itself. He then offered me a different job and I had to decline cuz I already accepted another (this was a few weeks after the initial decline I gave)

In another case they just fast tracked me and I ended up declining the job anyways (didn't like the job)

I'm full time employed but I still do occasiobal interviews to keep feelers out for how the market is. But I typically decline most offers cuz they're not good enough to get me to actively quit my current job.

 

So, my fiance and I have for quite awhile come to terms with us being poly, primarily myself but she is cool with it.

Thing is, we've been together for 13 years now, are getting married soon, and while we have agreed that if we ever met someone we clicked with, we also have come to terms with the fact it feels like that won't actually ever happen.

We're both very introverted and keep to ourselves. We aren't actually party goers, and the wildest nights we have are the extremely rare night where we host a board game night with like, maybe 4 friends. And that's a "rager" for us, comparatively.

We've looked into some dating apps but the results are... abysmal. Non starter really.

And since we are both so far along in our life together, it feels more and more like it would be impossible to "Fairly" include another person anyways. They'd forever be "second" in that me and my fiance have thirteen (and counting) years of history, whereas the new person would be starting completely fresh. That doesn't seem like it could ever work anyways, no matter how hard we tried right?

We've talked at length about this and agreed that it just doesn't seem like it could even work, despite us wanting it to, and that we're sorta just gonna have to be cool with being monogamous poly, which is weird but I dunno how else to describe it.

The only situation I've considered that would work is if it was another couple that both of us click with both of them, and everyone vibes with each other in every direction, which then means at least everyone has someone else they have history with, and someone else that is new, which feels more like now everyone is on "equal" footing if you will, removing that feeling of imbalance.

But then of course we have to confront the fact that the odds of two people finding two other people and everyone vibing with everyone else is... well incredibly low. And when I say vibing I'm talking "we want to have a close committed intimate and romantic relationship" level.

So, I guess I wanted to send out some feelers on if any other folks are in this sort of state, how are you navigating it, how do you feel about it, lets talk about this sort of state.

Something to noodle on:

Is it morally wrong to try and initiate a poly relationship with a third person, when the other 2 people have a "fallback" of each other, such that the third person forever will be subjected to the 2v1 power imbalance, that if things broke down the 2 would quick the third out, forever putting them at a disadvantage?

Cuz, personally, I feel like I can't morally subject someone to that myself, I'd forever feel "off" about putting another person (no matter how willing) into that position, it feels... wrong.

 

Im looking for some form of self hosted application, ideally dockerized(able), that can connect to and manage an existing database (Im not picky on the DB type, Postgres prolly best though).

However Id like if it manages it via a nice well designed ERD. The closest I have found so far is PgAdmin but unfortunately it's ERD leaves a lot to be desired. It's kinda clunky, and it cant "diff" against your existing database to produce a migration script, all it can do is produce a script that expects you to totally drop the existing DB and re-apply the schema from scratch.

Something like Luna/Moon would be cool, but every example I look up seems to be an application you install locally on your machine and interact with directly, as opposed to a web interface.

If you know of such a tool let me know!

 

I just downloaded the app, its loading posts just fine from lemmy.world, but where on earth do I login?

Clicking on Profile and Submit just tell me they wont work unless I am logged in. Ideally these two CTAs should instead redirect to login if you are not logged in.

I am looking all over this interface and I am either totally blind or completely unable to find the login option, is it buried somewhere or am I crazy?

Edit: Nevermind found it, top of the burger menu, I think maybe the UX of that button could be made a bit more visual, it at first glance with the icon looked like just a title.

Perhaps add a big green + symbol on it so it pops more for adding your account? The dull blue and lemmy icon aren't what I normally would associate typically with a login button, so it totally didn't pop out at me. Legit took me a solid 5+ minutes to notice it D:

 

Right now there seems to be a bit of an issue where if I want to share a link to a lemmy post with a friend, but if we call different servers our "home", even though both of our "homes" have a roughly similar copy of the same post, there currently is no easy way that I perceive for us to navigate to "our" copy of that post.

This becomes further of an issue when it comes to search engine parsing. For example I use lemmy.world as my "home" server, however when I find information on google it may link to the fedia.io or whatever "sources" link.

For reading this is no big deal.

But if I want to respond to the post, I now need to somehow figure out a way to re-route to the lemmy.world copy of that post to make my submission with my user account.

I think ideally what we need to consider is perhaps one of the following:

A: a browser plugin that can automatically detect and redirect to the matching version of the post for your server

B: OAuth support, so I can OAuth login to any lemmy server with my credentials from my "home" server via an OAuth v2 token
