Is that a knife you’re holding behind you?

Jokes aside this is a philosophical question, would knowing the answer let you change it? Would it be different if you didn’t know the answer? How do you know that knowing the answer isn’t part of the chain of events that leads to your death in such a situation?

What if the person offering was just scamming you and you lived thinking you’d die in 6 months but then it turns out it doesn’t happen?

Wait until you try to do something that involves managing child processes

Have you asked if you can’t use regular physical mail or walk the papers to an office yourself?

Otherwise you’d be better off finding someone in an office somewhere that still has a working fax machine and offering them a few bucks to send it

I’m not sure if you’re serious or not.

At my job they unilaterally decided that we no longer had access to our application logs in any way other than a single company wide grafana with no access control (which means anyone can see anything and seeing the stats and logs of only your stuff is a PITA).

Half the time the relevant log línes straight up don’t show up unless you use a explicit search for their content (good luck finding relevant information for an unknown error) and you’re extremely limited in how many log línes you can see at once.

Not to mention that none of our applications were designed with this platform in mind so all the logging is done in a legacy way that conforms to the idea of just grepping a log file and there’s no way the sponsors will commit to letting us spend weeks adjusting our legacy applications to actually log in a way that is useful for viewing in grafana and not a complete shitshow.

I’ve worked with a logstash/elastic/kibana stack for years before this job and I can tell you these solutions aren’t meant for seeing lines one by one or context searches (where seeing what happened right before and after matters a lot), they’re meant for aggregations and analysis.

It’s like moving all your stuff from one house to another in a tiny electric car. Sure technically it can be done but that’s not it’s purpose at all and good luck moving your fridge.

What a nice world you must live in where all your code is perfectly clean, documented and properly tracked.

The base version of IntelliJ is FOSS, and they kinda offer perpetual licenses for their paid applications. If you subscribe for an entire year, you get a perpetual fallback license. It’s just a license for an older version of the software, but you get to keep it forever. https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207240845-What-is-a-perpetual-fallback-license

You know that any software that requires a login or can update on its own can be bricked at a moment’s notice if someone in legal or accounting changes their mind about the whole “perpetual” thing.

What you didn’t put googling as one of your skills in linked in?

We have squirrels in my country but I’ve never seen one in person to be frank. If you’ve lived in a heavily populated area your entire life then it’s not uncommon you’d be surprised to see common wildlife out and about

“Baby don’t bomb me, don’t bomb me, no more”

If you’re doing it live with another person what’s most important is explaining your reasoning and speaking through your solution. When the test is being supervised by a qualified programmer then the objective isn’t to see how you solve that specific problem but rather how you reason trough stuff

If it’s just an unsupervised timed test just cheat as much as you want since the test is bullshit and most likely has nothing to do with the job you’re actually applying for.

Well if they don’t want your money anymore you might as well sail the high seas

That’s like asking where you can find a published paper and being linked to google.com

I think the original intention was to motivate people to create new technologies. If you spent your life savings designing and prototyping a new product in your shed you don’t want a giant company being able to go “cool, thanks I’ll make them myself and run you out of business”.

The whole point is that you’ll invest into it because you’ll be able to profit off it afterwards

I’d suppose people who work with nano machines don’t necessarily call them that either.

But it’s the buzz word that has been used to push it’s corresponding bubble

Don’t forget AI!

How far away are you from the computer? I use a Logitech keyboard mouse combo for mine and while it worked on and off at the start I put the dongle on a short USB extension and pointed it towards the couch and it’s been flawless

Still driving it, 2008 1.6 gol power, got it 3 years ago.

Very much a south American version of a golf but since it wasn’t designed that much for security it weighs 1000 kilos and has 97 hp.

But it’s one of the most reliable cars in the country and while the car has multi fuel injection the accelerator is mechanical, the steering is hidraulic, no ABS or Traction control, it has a markedly notchy 5 speed manual and the suspension is both stiff but with some significant body roll, mostly thanks to it’s light weight.

Thing drives like a FWD kart and I love it, you feel like you’re going super fast or doing dangerous stuff even in completely safe situations under the speed limit. Can’t wait to get it to a track day (they’re very uncommon in my country).

On top of all they’re worth 4k usd at most and the parts for it are dirt cheap. And the engine design is actually a Mercedes design from the 80s so it’s pretty solid people get 150 HP out of it very easily (which leaves you with the power to weight ratio of a golf GTI) with a few mods and if you get forged Pistons and a proper turbo you can go past 300 hp

What’s worse is googling a specific thing and having the results be just chock full of generic copy pasted thing with similar name

This is more correct
