I don’t think the government uses COBOL. I know the government uses COBOL.

I will still judge you.

It’s divisive? I can’t think of a single person I know who doesn’t like that song. Even the ones that are boot lickers.

Nah, he’ll get foreign investors to help him and be further owned by foreign governments like he did for X.

Location has been super annoying for me in Fedora. Neither the weather nor the timezone automatically update for me. And I travel every week for work.

As a human, you don’t. You just task switch and end up doing both tasks poorly.

Cosby was on par with how we think of Tom Hanks today. He had a dad vibe that everyone loved.

Fair enough I suppose.

And unlike a cat you apparently have no night vision at all along with your dirty toilet?

If it’s up, you don’t even need to touch it, just sit… Also, clean your toilet. Don’t be proud of being a slob.

I ended up in the system administration world where certs are strongly recommended. In app dev, I have no idea.

Just be even lazier and sit down.

Haven’t taken a cert in a while either?

I don’t think you can get the CS degree with being completely incompetent. A bunch of interviews I had were white boarding the logic, not actual coding. Code is easy if you know the logic.

Not during a test. But maybe in those 20 hours they have.

Yeah, exactly. At least any fairly modern language. I don’t think I could just pick up assembly and read it without the class I took. Heck, I don’t think I could read it anymore now that it’s been several years since that class.

It’s super easy to learn how algorithms and what not work without knowing the syntax of a language. I can tell you how a binary search tree works, but I have no clue how to code it in Java because I’ve never used Java.

Many HR departments will automatically kick out an application if it doesn’t have a degree. It’s an easy filter even if it isn’t the most accurate.

We (the US) have farmers markets in a lot of places. They can have very specific times that I always forget about. Around here in the northern climate, the farmer markets stop during the winter or move indoors and shift to selling more jarred and canned goods. My neighborhood has a coop, but it’s more expensive than the grocery store and with a worse selection. We have options here, but they require more thoughtfulness.

I was just at Whole Foods, not the best barameter for price, every brand that wasn’t the store brand was $10+ for a dozen. The store brand was $5.
