This feels like Napoleon’s soldiers and the mamluks, or what was said about them.

Or something. Above a project of certain size, divisions of labour and stuff make the project complete faster, but before that it seems like a lot of extra busy work that slow down the project

I am aghast at how difficult interviews are compared to literally every aspect of most jobs I’ve had.

One could, indeed, argue that consulting firms make their bread and butter by not having things work but fixed temporarily.

I use the numpad quite a bit when entering lots of numbers with one hand. Comes up a bit in drafting, some data entry… Some video games.

This thread has made me curious though. That said I am very attached to my 15 year old logitech keyboard. Done some soldering, cleaned a lot of beer out

Haha my first thought

My dad had tapes, but I never got to see data go from a tape to ram. They had 8 GB of space, I remember

Reminds be of the conversations about transferring hard drives using the public transport system in my city. Good bandwidth, terrible latency. Then everyone got faster internet and stopped pirating

I miss mine. Good battery life. Big hard disk. Chugged a bit on google docs with large documents. Hot processor. Liero

I am bad at coding and it is a skill that I do not think everyone can achieve to a professional level, thus telling people to “learn to code” is similar to telling them to “just hustle”, “hit the bricks and hand out resumes”, and other flippant stories that mean you stop having to think about poverty.

That said, I do believe the narrative actually was true for some people at some time. Maybe in the 90s and early 2000s if you were able to cobble together a computer from bits your university was throwing out and you had internet access, you could punch well above your weight. But that certainly was never true for everyone.

(I like to be optimistic about people’s ability to learn things, mostly hampered by access, time, and lack of interest, but I went to a boilermaker’s course recently to learn how to weld and none of those kids were going to learn how to code even if they were interested, whatever their other skills were.)

I am a data hoarder and endorse this message.

Old lifeboat from the r/chapotraphouse banning 3 years ago. It almost instantly became the largest lemmy instance at the time and so the devs next bunch of patches were optimising so our servers weren’t crash constantly. I think that state of affairs kinda maintained until the reddit blackout. Officially, it’s non-sectarian leftism, but practically speaking it’s a more shitposty less serious lemmygrad with way higher throughput. Also for a non-trans focused space online, it’s very trans.

The name itself was just the meme that was popular on r/cth at the time of shutdown ("Look at this dope ass bear "), and there was a vote to move away from the podcast themed name.

Because of the load and a few other things (I don’t remember, I’m sure there was drama), there was a lemmy fork that only recently got reintegrated, but it means hexbear is now federated into the lemmyverse.

More annoying to do on mobile (desktop is just middle click)

Hexbear nods

When this happens, I reload, which seems to return me to where I was in the feed. It’s a workaround, but it would be nice to just press the back button
