Exactly. We don't hire "junior" positions, because all the midlevels are juniors, all seniors are mid-level, and seniors don't apply. I'm a senior and a recruiter found me, I didn't apply (at least not to this company).

A lot of this has to do with recruiters. I've been interviewing for a few years at my company such with as many different sets of recruiters, from recruiting firms to our corporate recruiters, to ones we hired ourselves. Our corporate recruiters handed over garbage candidates who we could often tell wouldn't work out after the first 10 min of the interview, whereas the other two groups of recruiters would do a good job filtering so we'd get than a 50% hit rate on our first round. Unfortunately, we promoted our recruiters once the need for talent dropped (or they moved on to a recruiter firm), and now they're unwilling to go back to recruiting.

The quality of your recruiter matters quite a bit, so you'll want to find someone who is experienced hiring a certain type of person so they know what to look for.

The user agent tells the page what the browser is, so the page can tell whether you're runnit Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc. The intent is for the page to change behavior depending on the browser since each have different capabilities (web standards change quickly). Unfortunately, pages rarely get updated in a timely fashion when browsers implement web standards so the engine check is frequently inaccurate.

Changing the user agent means changing what web pages think you're running. If a page uses an optimized API on Chrome and a slower one on Firefox because Firefox was slower to implement it, then you can get a speedup by saying your Firefox is Chrome. Some pages refuse to run unless it's a specific browser, so lying can make those pages work.

I hope that makes sense.

I think the term pretty accurately describes what is going on: they don't know how to code, but they do know what correct output for a given input looks like, so they iterate with the LLM until they get what they want. The coding here is based on vibes (does the output feel correct?) instead of logic.

I don't think there's any problem with the term, the problem is with what's going on.

Gotta leave a trail so you can find your way back.

That's not really a thing here, the closest is a state level ballot initiative, which is supposed to be legally binding, but legislatures ignore/heavily modify them all the time.

I wouldn't put it past American gamers to make stuff up.

Even 60 is high. I'd buy a lot more games day 1 if they were around $40.

Same. I also like it for basic research and helping with syntax for obscure SQL queries, but coding hasn't worked very well. One of my less technical coworkers tried to vibe code something and it didn't work well. Maybe it would do okay on something routine, but generally speaking it would probably be better to use a library for that anyway.

RX6650 XT, everything works fine on my Linux desktop (Tumbleweed), my SO had had some issues on Windows with the 6700XT, but they run games in the background almost 24/7, so it could just be a heat issue in the ITX case.

The only way to have a roller coaster is if it started with Wells Fargo.

Hmm, I have a Tesla dealership nearby that seems short on staples...

Best I can do is tree fiddy.

Nice!

I self host Minecraft on our LAN so my kids can play together, and it's super nice.

Maybe. I think people are more selfish the larger the group gets. So if you're a small tribe, most people will work for the good of the tribe, but if you're able to easily move between tribes, there's less downside to selfishness.

So my opinion is we should assume selfishness and design a society around it, and capitalism does a pretty good job at that.

Yeah, I'm certainly looking around, but they also tend to have spyware. I just want a simple car that goes and stops when I say, and is really easy to repair if something goes wrong. EVs should be perfect for this, but for some reason manufacturers get away with tons of nonsense on them.

Buying what you prefer itself isn't an issue, but that should be the reason instead of "I need it because X, Y, Z." Most truck/SUV owners don't need a truck/SUV, they just want one.

My issue with trucks and SUVs are that they make the road more dangerous, since there's only so much a car manufacturer can do to protect against a vehicle more than twice as massive. That, and they're artificially cheap here in the US because of stupid regulations intended for farmers that got applied to them to reduce emissions standards.

Eh, we'll see how that turns out. If they can release here at the price point they wanted ($25k-ish), I'd probably get one.

That's what they claim, but their moderation practices feel a lot more on the tankie spectrum than marxist leninist.

Same. I'm looking into an EV, and I just want a simple car that goes and stops when I instruct it to. I don't need any kind of always-online service, I don't need cameras, etc, I just need to get to work and back.
