ISP mitm sounds infuriating

No, I didn’t anticipate significant backslash. The criticism of Wikipedia is valid, but I’m comparing it to the raw stream of BS I get on social media, not to an idealistic vision of what wikipedia should be

I guess it wasn’t about the price for you then

I don’t think it was ever born to have died. I think they grossly overestimated how much this tech would improve

I asked stable diffusion for a photo-realistic version of this image. This isn’t what I had in mind

I use borg

When I was a kid, this book was fun

isn’t it too good to be true? where is the catch?

try ordering by new, the active ordering will show old threads if people are still commenting on them

and that’s a good thing, on reddit you kind of can’t keep a conversation as the threads die too fast

this could probably run all lemmy instances in a little corner of its ram

cloudflare has an option to serve your content inside tor without an exit node, is that better or worse?

I’m using it to allow my ipv6 only server be visible for ipv4 users, maybe I’ll think on alternatives now

One anecdote to illustrate the point: On my last job, I was initially directly chosen by upper management that was my former boss in another company. The HR interviewer blocked me anyway, the higher ups hired me as a contractor for a year, and only them they hired me directly

Now you mention it, maybe people with a better interview/offer rate are also doing a better job on not wasting time with positions they aren’t a great fit? I get interested when they ask me about things I used only a little before, so I end doing a lof of these

I suspect that some interviews are just to say they interviewed X people before they chose someone

I already live in a low cost country, so moving to a cheaper place wouldn’t work

Some professional help is probably a good idea. My CV is probably not a big part of the problem, it’s getting me those interviews, maybe it gets me interviews for the wrong jobs. As I’m never sure what I want to do, I could make it look like I am all about stack X, and in the next morning I feel like I want to do some Y, and I get a call from someone that wants something to be done on K, on which I only had experience in a 3 months project and left some mention of it there.

I do that, and it saves me a lot of time with things ending on the screening call. I’m tempted to write all this stuff in my resume / linkedin so I don’t even waste time with the screening. It’s easier now I’m already employed, it will probably be harder when I really need another job

I loved this analogy, it works for old languages as old movies, some characteristics as movie genres and to explain there is not just one and only right language, and that people would have different preferences.

You’re right, I tested with an alt account and the ban from my instance didn’t affect it at lemmy.world. Thanks :-)

I’m asking mostly out of curiosity, but I had a use case that I would like to completely avoid a build step. At work we have a very old web interface, that when I attempt to sell the idea of any major improvement the answer is “this is end of life, we are rewriting it”. But the rewrite will take a long time, and it is easier to make gradual improvements without introducing new tooling. This one is from the 90s, there the JS is in a folder and is shipped as is.

Thanks, I found this book and a lot of papers about it on this site: http://algorithmicbotany.org/

I did some experimenting on that direction, but stopped at this weird thing. The way I’m doing it would be too slow with more than one tree
