Edit: this is from the perspective of a technical interviewer.

I’ve done around 200 or so technical interviews for mostly senior data engineering roles. I’ve seen every version of made up code, terrible implementation suggestion and dozens of folks with 5+ years of experience and couldn’t wrote a JOIN to save their lives.

The there were a couple where the resume was obviously made up because they couldn’t back up a single point and they just did not know a thing about data. They would usually talk in circles about buzzwords and Excel jaron. “They big data’d the data lake warehouse pivot hadoop in Azure Redshift.” Sure, ya did, buddy.

Yes, they were “pre-screened”. This was one of the BIG tech companies.

People have been asking for thicker phones with more battery for years. Wth

I really enjoyed Mindustry, even though I’ve never tried another factory-type game. The polish and depth was 100% there although I got lost at one point and didn’t know how to progress. That game really changed my perspective on what is possible for FOSS. Godspeed, devs

Holy crap this thing is pretty. Ty

Anyone know how we would be able to continue these products? My understanding is that this charger is 100% controlled by an app. Are there open source alternatives?

That’s even better. Thank you

When I worked in an office, most of my team was in other offices across the world. But we had to be in the office for that TEAM BUILDING

That’s such a good idea. My camera has to pair with my phone to get GPS readout and it’s a nightmare app. Going to look into this

This solved a 20-year mistery for me. If you listen to Pink Floyd - Nobody Home, I think this plays at 3:00

Hey. What is this from?

As someone who’s written tens of thousands of lines of SQL in dozens of environments, this guide has great tips and ugly code… Dear God, my eyes!

Two stones with one bird

I scrubbed the video for the better part of 40 minutes. Here’s the vibe. These points bounce off each other.

1. AI everything. This is aimed at investors who don’t know shit about games other than it has labor cost. Nothing novel was shown or discussed other than broad strokes of concepts which we already know about.

2. Sponsors and Ads everywhere. To remind us it’s EA

3. Creating is bad business. EA wants:

• to use AI, not artists
• fleeting interactions, not deep experiences
• sell platforms, not content
• engage algorithmically

They aspire to do to games what TikTok/Reels/Yt shorts did for video. Make it as easy to make a “game” (AI slop) as shooting a phone video. Let the algorithm bubble up addictive crap and get eyeballs on screens. Ads everywhere. Pay extra to make Iron Man a character in your 2-minute “game”

This is a nightmare and I hope they fail

This article suggests that there are a significant number of people who thought that the Lightyear movie failed because it included a same-sex kiss. How out of touch are these corpos?
