Wait, so he’s been at it for years now?

I’ve had his posts in my feed somewhat recently and I was kind of in awe of dude’s dedication to do full time posting on topic of Linux users having no life, but had no idea he’s been doing it for so long now. 🌚

I think there will be some inventions in regard of “take home projects” like certification of said tasks, secure repositories - things that let you easily check if whatever you just got is legit, or maybe in-browser environments for doing tasks, where it’s all handled on employers servers. Just takes someone to formulate an idea that could be sold and rest is details.

And as of resumes, phone interviews and in-person interviews - kinda happened already, at least speaking from my engineer’s perspective. Today just hiring someone without in-person interview is a bit foolish due to how easy it is to just open ChatGPT tab or whatever on another screen. And potential engineers then are invited to an in-person interview and fail it miserably after giving somewhat competent answers in online call.

Damn, I thought LinkedIn itself got hacked, but that’s just “recruiter” trying to get people to install malicious npm modules. 🥱

Good heads up tho, I periodically get folks trying some bullshit with me in there like “let’s talk on WhatsApp”.

Now think of some folks actually being quite successful by selling courses and trainings where they just talk nonsense in bureaucratese to the audience. 💀

If you’re very new to that - I’d just recommend picking up some Arduino (at least UNO R3) starter kit plus some measurement tools - multimeter and maybe an oscilloscope (there are cheap handheld ones like DSO).

And then you just fool around with what you’ve got - try to read each sensors data, try to use each actuator, think of some useful projects with what you’ve got.

And from there you can go to stuff like ESP32 to explore wireless stuff (mostly compatible with Arduino too).

That’s a big “IF” tho. I’ve been teaching embedded programming classes and had to teach folks some very basic stuff like how to RTFM or how to look for stuff on the internet - people don’t even use search engines anymore. 🌚

Another European europeansplaining here.

There was that thing with memes that if corporate social media people posted some meme - that would be akin to that specific meme’s death certificate. Like, people had fun with something, and now there’s corporations trying to buddy up, and it’s bo fun.

So… kinda the same thing with celebrity endorsements. Immediately makes things feel 10x less genuine.

I feel like AI employed to audit the company and look for ways to increase efficiency can certainly get funny ideas about guys who get seven figure paychecks for showing PowerPoints once in a while. 🌝

“Oh, someone had the same problem” as I see forum thread in search results, followed by finding out that thread turned into a gaslighting session on why OP’s problem wasn’t actually a problem, and no solution was provided as result. 🌝

Each sensible country nowadays figured that all those Olympics and World Cups are now simply an enormous money sink and dick measuring contest for authoritarian hellholes, hence the protests in all somewhat sensible countries before each one.

And I wouldn’t even go into massive corruption of all these international sports committees, with president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino specifically also being a fucking tone-deaf degenerate.

As someone doing teaching, I already had quite enough of “If you have any further questions - just let me now! 😊” in answer boxes.

Article actually describes it well enough, how scientists trained a model on data from CT scans of patients who were treated for other conditions some time before being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Damn, how do I become a man now that I never subscribed to Joe Rogan’s podcast in the first place. 🌝
