yeah can i get 1 large original crust pizza with pepperoni, hot italian sausage, mushrooms, peppers, and garlic? Also can i get 1 deep dish with extra pepperoni and cheese?
then i'd like an order of cinnamon knots and garlic knots, and 3 two liter bottles of Dr. Pepper. If you don't have Dr. Pepper, i'll take Mr. Pibb or whatever your qualified soda beverage is

An idiot I imagine! It's very interesting actually how shit like this goes down internally. People think there's some evil director of engineering mandating we horde data or whatever but most of the dumb evil shit we do is just engineers not understanding the consequences of the changes they make. It's really hard when you are writing code for accounts in all sorts of different states and the system is all deep and full of hidden logic, at some point someone probably fucked up and forgot to check whether an account was deactivated before it did whatever it did to your account. And your account was probably old enough it wasn't regulated like it is today. If accounts that old were reactivated today, the FTC or EU would be flinging all sorts of fines at us.
They used to let employees escalate issues like this for friends but I guess that was abused unfortunately. Hope you get it sorted out!

>kobold gardnercute, got a nice visual, and kobolds are typically seen as miners and adversarial, so seeing a gardner is different, gentle, and emphasizes digging in the earth for growth, rather than coveting. What makes this kobold take this gentle path? i am curious
>make the spiciest chiliah so the kobold has a competitive edge to them, they have a goal that they want to achieve, and it's in something that inherently causes pain, (i.e. spiciest chili). do they see a competition in the same way as a spicy food lover enjoys spicy food where they get the rush of endorphins? is this kobold mildly sadistic? or are they looking to make a flavorful chili, however there isn't a competition for that, so in order to find their foot in the door of the chili community, do they have to also try to inflict spiciness as a necessary evil to make their chili known?
also you say all sorts of adversary? who are these adversaries? are they competitors in the competition that want to knock this kobold out of the competition? is this other creatures that don't think a kobold should garden? are these other kobolds who don't think you should garden?
what is this little kobold trying to accomplish in this competition? and what is it that they truly need in this story?

>>1162007>do they see a competition in the same way as a spicy food lover enjoys spicy food where they get the rush of endorphins? is this kobold mildly sadistic? They're just delusional. They think if they're gonna do this all the way that they're gonna get a result better than ever could be expected of a beginner. After fighting so hard for it, they're gonna produce one mild chili, and they're gonna learn that the journey was more important than the result.

>They didn't think it was in their nature, they never thought they could make anything grow.why did they have this mindset? what is their history? did they used to work in the mines? or did they used to try and attack adventurers, but just felt disconnected?
>They're just delusional.okay interesting. are they truly delusional though? cause earlier you said that "they never thought a kobold could do it" is that a delusion, or more of just a need for self affirmation. Or are you referring to the delusion that they think they would just do it no matter what, in which case that level of certainty would hint at a disconnect from reality of their situation
>Because while they failed to produce a spectacular harvest, they did prove they could be a Kobold gardener.>I think what they truly need is to feel in control, capable of making something work in their life.ah so we see the need that unfolds to have control in their life, which is at odds of the reality that they cannot control the spiciness of the pepper.
i am feeling that the need for control is the need that is paired with the gardening, to gain control and show that "kobold's can be gardners!" despite what the naysayers say. but at the end they also must accept that there are things they cannot control. and that's okay in it's own right.
like the chili pepper, they cannot control what the pepper is like, the size or taste or spice, but through their actions, they allow it to grow and flourish. They manage garden their chilis, just like they manage the garden that is their life.
>naysayerswho are these naysayers? do they just have a status quo mindset of "kobold's can't garden!"? does the kobold have any sort of animosity with them, or to try and change their mind?
i am also imagining bugs or small theiving critters trying to steal the chili's and having a thematic connection to the naysayers that try to deny this kobold's ambition!

>>1162014>why did they have this mindset? what is their history? did they used to work in the mines? or did they used to try and attack adventurers, but just felt disconnected?One part cultural, a second part instinct. They just felt deep down it wasn't who they were. But they wanted to be more than what they were at the same time. I don't think a cute furry short would have time to go into that much background detail, I'm not sure if they were a miner or raider. I don't think gardening is entirely replacing what they do though, more like when they get home from pack tacticing some adventurers, they tend to their garden. I like the contrast of that idea.
>>1162014>Or are you referring to the delusion that they think they would just do it no matter what, in which case that level of certainty would hint at a disconnect from reality of their situationThey start gardening from the belief they can't succeed but in order to try they hype themselves up to the idea that they are going to so certainly defy expectations that they'll be massively successful. The reality is so much simpler, they aren't destined to fail or defy the natural order. They're just gonna grow some plants with modest success as a beginner, which is the first step on a different journey than they imagined.
>>1162014>but at the end they also must accept that there are things they cannot control. and that's okay in it's own right.Yeah, totally!
>>1162014>who are these naysayers? do they just have a status quo mindset of "kobold's can't garden!"? does the kobold have any sort of animosity with them, or to try and change their mind?>i am also imagining bugs or small theiving critters trying to steal the chili's and having a thematic connection to the naysayers that try to deny this kobold's ambition!
Mmmm, not as much anyone particularly important, more just the whispers of a village that sees someone they perceive as wasting time, doing something unkoboldlike.
Pests would definitely be a setback! They might start with 12 healthy plants and start losing them until they only have a single plant. Maybe it was the smallest, weakest one but that made it less of a target for pests.

Hmmm, hmmmmmm! Is this an account take over thing? Like does it appear that it's being used actively by someone? It seems to me most likely that your account was taken over and the abuser reactivated it, blocked you out of recovering it, and are probably doing something nefarious with it. If that's the case, your options are more limited because we've effectively had user consent to do everything it's doing. Maybe you would get further if you reported the account stolen instead?

I could imagine a scenario where the company fucked up and accidentally reactivated some accounts but I can't imagine any scenario other than abuse in which friend requests were all automatically accepted. Even if such a bug existed, it just wouldn't happen that both these things occurred at the same time! These two systems, deactivation and friending, are so different and so separately governed internally there's no way both these things happened at once without user intervention.
I get stock, yes. I am a shareholder of i own stock, how can they siphon value out of the stock to benefit a select shareholder? Unless you mean crashing the price deliberately so someone can buy cheap or something like that. I guess that could happen? But so far the stock has done pretty well and as made me a lot of money so I guess I have nothing to complain about. I feel like if the company was gonna fuck someone over to benefit someone else, i would likely be in the "benefit someone else" category. Fucking over the entire engineering staff is not a smart play when running a tech company. Most of us are only here because the pay is stupid good, they call the pay "golden handcuffs" for a reason.

Also am wondering like, dovetailing with the prior question about China, Iran, and Russia plus other governments, do you think that both AI and regimes that use AI can effectively, right now, effectively target people specifically using that technology for something negative (like, say, Russian state forces trying to wipe out all of the transgender individuals living in a certain city or Chinese state forces trying to get rid of everybody with pro-Taiwan related beliefs in some particular set of villages)?
And if you don't like that at all and don't think it's currently succeeding, then what exactly would you recommend somebody either in your position (working for a technology company) or somebody random on the street do if they oppose that kind of inevitable-seeming scientific progress, since it's kind of like a grain of sand being opposed to an ocean sending its waves over as far as futility goes?

It is impossible for AI to make my favorite comic Drop Out, because AI will never understand the things I've felt.
>>1162152AI can't help them do that. It's not a mind reader, it can only operate on information that is publicly available and the people that want to hide that because their lives are in danger aren't going to make it obvious. You are probably thinking about profiling based on what a person looks like or said that might make them fit a demographic. I suppose an AI could be trained to try to identify a demographic off small clues they give but I doubt it will be any more effective than existing profiling techniques.
I would recommend voicing opposition to AI when you can, but focus on protecting yourself more than trying to stop the inevitable. Build community, try to achieve as much financial independence and freedom as possible, move somewhere safer if you can. I know those aren't easy to accomplish things but it's the only thing I can think that would help.

If you are looking for permission to consume AI generated media guilt free, you will not find that from me.

>>1162242It's probably nothing too fancy. It's test automation, so going through the functionalities, designing all test scenarios, make sure full coverage is achieved.
Then put all things into code to cover the general outcome as well as perform all indepth code checks needed to be done. (identify if it's a coding issue, memory leak, performance,...)
Then put the results into an easily readable format and connect it to a JIRA plugin or something.
So it can be run overnight and all issues are reliably found into any new code plugged in.

>>1162248I've done mock interviews for friends before but nothing that really counted. I could sign up for doing real interviews but there's a long waiting list. I also already have enough "extracurriculars" for my performance evaluation and more wouldn't help me much.
I don't care too much for leet code, I never did that when I prepared for interviewing. But I can share a few of my favorite interview questions I got when I was last job hunting.
One was writing a regular expression evaluation engine from scratch, had an hour to implement the basics like character matching, + and *.
I had a problem to implement a word prediction engine, so you feed it a few letters and it'll tell you the most likely word.
For system design, I was once asked to design Google maps from scratch. What made that fun was the interviewer had not prepared an answer for it himself and he worked with me on the problem. So it was fun to bounce ideas off each other and imagine how Google maps works on the back end.

Depending on what you mean by "super old", Asterix and the Vikings was largely animated in Denmark, and isfrom 2006.
The two "Cykelmyggen" film from the late 2000s are a bit of an odd case, and are also definitely for small children first and foremost. They are made to LOOK like they were made in a uch older style than they actually are, so they are mostly puppet rig animated. But still charming.

Thereøs "Princess" from 2006, which is a pretty dark vigilante drama about a preacher who finds out that his estranged sister has recently died - and that she was a porn star. He now has to take care of her little daughter, and starts enacting revenge on the people in the porn industry he feels led her down a dark path.
There is a children's CGI animated film called "Det Utrolige Eventyr Om Den Kæmpestore Pære" (The Incredible Adventure of the Giant Pear), but I don't know much about it other than it is based on a kids' book by an artist I rather like named Jakob Martin Strid.
It's not really a danish movie, but the Cartoon Saloon film "Song of the Sea" from 2014 IS technically a danish co-production and had some danish animators on board, so... at least watch that one? If for nothing else, then because Cartoon Saloon make excellent stuff.

All of our attempts to go really big have usually fallen flat, or at least not gotten as big as was hoped. "Help, I'm A Fish" was an attempt to compete with the Don Bluth / Disney films of the time, for example. And Valhalla from 1986 (which you should definitely watch) went horribly over budget and pretty much bankrupted the studio despite beings een as a classic nowadays.
But "Valhalla", the "Jungledyret Hugo" movies (the first two anyway), "Bennys Badekar", "Fuglekrigen i Kanøfleskoven", "Aberne og det Hemmelige Våben", "Samson og Sally" og "Strit og Stumme", "Terkel i Knibe" and the "Ternet Ninja" movies are all stuff you should definitely check out... if you can find them anyfuckingwhere. They don't tend to easily show up online.
I actually keep considering doing subtitles for some of those older ones and having a little movie night on Discord. I'd need to buy a DVD ripper first though cause again, ain't no way I am finding digital copies.

I try to be hopeful and optimistic, but being against scientific capitalism and the new Earth that Alphabet, Bank of America, BlackRock, JPMorgan Chase, Meta, Goldman Sachs, et cetera is setting up seems kind of like being a dragonfly against a semi-truck (that's on the highway about to smack into you), you know?
For me personally, as somebody moving back to a U.S. state after being somewhere else for a long time, what can I do about the AI generated credit scores and other business profiles that determine whether or not I get to have fair housing?

>>1162402In my case it's not really about exhibitionism. It's more like, a return to nature kink? Like, the idea of being back in a natural place, stripping away all the technology and artificial trappings of humanity, and just embracing the instinct for physical intimacy with someone you consider your mate for life. If that makes any sense.
That sounds silly, that's what I like about what I've heard of that game. It doesn't take itself too seriously and just let's you do the fun thing.
I had a major hyperfixation on this story
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/77490/the-broken-knife/chapter/1420074/chapter-oneFor a few days, i couldn't work hardly at all, I just read and read until I had read it all twice. It's still being written, so I get a bit of new content daily, but it isn't as all consuming as it was before.

Chillet is very popular, and so is Lovander because it's the logical horny conclusion to Salazzle, and it's one of my faves because of that!

>>1162508There's a lot of factors to that. First, I just wanted to not be monolingual, and I felt like I would need people I could actually talk with for that to really be a reality. Living in California the obvious choice was Spanish but I don't really know anyone to speak Spanish with. I was really close to picking Hindi since I had coworkers at the time who spoke that, but Hindi was all their secondary language, primarily they spoke Tamil or Marathi or something else and it kinda felt like picking any of them was the wrong choice.
So anyway, I socialized on this board a good deal back then and at the time I knew two Danish speakers, Rose and Esh. I had been close to Rose even and knew Esh likes to talk about Danish stuff, so I kinda started Duolingo for Danish almost as a gag. I didn't really put much effort into it, but over a year I slowly worked my way into the Danish course, just because Duo gamified it enough I didn't wanna lose my streak.
Rose and I had a significant falling out ironically, and I knew Esh less closely then but I kept on doing that another couple years until I lost my Duo streak. Then that was kinda it for Danish, was probably just gonna slowly loose those skills over time.
Until a year later I accidentally found out that a new friend i was making was coincidentally also Danish haha. And around that time i started really considering moving to Denmark too, like i really wanted to rebuild my life from the ground up somewhere better for me and knowing a couple people from there and having basic language skills from there made it the obvious choice. So i started actually taking it seriously, which is funny because i skipped all the listening and speaking exercises on Duo and had neither skill at all because learning to hear Danish is a nightmare and I didn't have purpose for it! I had to unlearn all the incorrect pronunciations I imagined for all the words I had been reading, so it was kinda like starting further behind than if I was starting from scratch haha
But anyway, that's where I am with Danish now. I've visited Denmark twice and going a third time, and it's a lovely country and I'm convinced I'll move there eventually. I'm still trying to figure out if I should try to hold into this job longer for the money or just move. I'm trying to finish off my big work project right now since it'll probably be the biggest career opportunity I'll ever have in my life. But after that, I might pack up and move there on a whim at any point. I don't know how hard it'll be to find a job, I obviously can't stay their long without the work visa, but I imagine with my work experience I should be a very strong candidate wherever I apply.
Longer answer than anyone bargained for! But the Danish language is weirdly a very significant and important part of my life at this point.
>>1162509And then there's this guy, who helps me with Danish but never dares actually speak in back to me! Which I've learned is like, the most Danish thing ever to rather speak English even to Danish learners!

>>1162510>>1162510I answered this vaguely somewhere else in the thread. Probably some kind of turn based strategy, I really like the genre and I think I could come up with a lot of interesting and innovative systems for that kind of game.
>>1162513That's a really interesting take on the similarities between whales and shy, introverted, and stressed people. I can really imagine what you are thinking here! But while I'm shy, introverted, and stressed I'm actually pretty good a communicating with people when I decide to be, i have a pretty rich social life, almost more social life than I can handle as an introvert haha. So the comparison kinda falls apart for me
>>1162515Mmmmm, we have very supportive managers and all my colleagues have always been really kind and helpful! I don't think I could have made it this far if the managers were not as empathetic as they are. That said, it's a very demanding job and they ask a whole lot from us! I feel like it's very difficult to do the right things because the incentive system most rewards an engineer who acts selfishly and focuses on their big impact projects the most. As an engineer who likes to help other people, I make numerous small contributions, which are definitely valued but when I need to squeeze my year end impact into 600 words or less, the day I spent unblocking a colleague and how much time and effort that saved the company on the whole is not gonna make it on my performance evaluation. But I'm stupid and stubborn and have rigid values so I help people all the time which leaves me even more stressed about my performance and I always under perform on evaluations compared to what I know I can do and the value of my work.
But I think I'm making a kinder, happier workplace for my little area of the company so I feel it's all worth it to me

>>1162519So the thing is Mark is an engineer, lots of tech CEOs are techies and I think there's always been a culture of high expectations but at the same time treating us like rockstars. If anything things have gotten steadily worse over time, just because there's so much more pressure on the company from regulation and that scrutiny and the era of high tech being unstoppable in the market is over. Lots of things that used to be have been cut, like we used to have in house laundry service! Things are still ridiculously good for us compared to just about anywhere else, but I think it's just the nature of high tech.

Like I can read most non technical writing by filling in gaps and understanding context. But i can't do the same when writing or speaking! So I end up being pretty good at following Danish media but my ability to communicate it myself is lagging. I actually hired a tutor to help me with it and we meet once a week, it's been helping a lot but the thing I really need is total immersion!

False positives are pretty much built into the design of the system, since it doesn't really understand, all it does is try to mimic.

Honestly I think y'all are spoiled by your bilingualness! I've had to communicate with a lot of people with dubious English skills, but I just deal with that difficulty since it's the only choice we have to communicate. It's time for the Danish people to cope with learners!

>>1162820A few quick thoughts:
Job history isn't in software development, so for a web dev position, it might be better to put education before work history (since education is a CS degree) and list the most relevant and impressive classes.
If you have open-source projects or significant contributions to existing open-source projects, it might be good to call attention to them in the body of your resume instead of only a link to your GitHub account in the upper-right corner.
For a web dev position, I'd suggest changing your highlights sections as follows:
Highlights
• Experience with Go, JavaScript, C/C++, SQL (MySQL, Postgresql, and SQLite 3), TypeScript, and Bash shell scripting
• Experience with running a server, both bare metal and VPS
• Organized, efficient, and dependable
• Can collaborate and work well with coworkers and customers

So if you wanted to make lists for me like this, it would be incredibly helpful, I would even happily pay for the service.

>>1162950Dictionaries don't really lend themselves well to repetition practice. Plus, the ones I found online got really bad ratings, I was just looking for a decent Danish to English last night and the ratings weren't great.
It's kinda hard for this to be me driven, because I can't ask for words that don't exist in English. What's the point of asking for a translation of "teaspoon" when you use decimeterspoons or whatever the fuck you measure with! Or I might ask you to translate glass because that's what I would use more than cup to describe something to drink out of but maybe unbeknownst to me nobody would use glass like that in Denmark, or whatever you know. But i guess it has to start somewhere, somehow.
So here, if you want to help, let's begin with every noun i can think of that exists in a kitchen, filled in with whatever i think i know myself

>>1162971It's got some really cool twists on work placement. Every time you retrieve a worker you increase the power of that worker by 1. More powerful workers can obviously do more. Then a level 4 worker gets an extra powerful bonus effect that's different and unique for every type of action! But once you use a level 4 worker, you lose the worker entirely! You have to buy a new worker at level 1 to replace it. You have to be very strategic when and where you spend your high level workers!

>>1163021I am aware you don't have spinny death machines in your sinks typically. I kinda wish I didn't either because the thing ironically gets jammed up a lot, even when I try to put nothing but water down it!
A range is the name of both the stove top and the oven combined. The whole machine is the range.
Coil are the horrible old fashion stovetop burners, a type of heating element. Pic related
Induction stove is a newer type of stove that uses electromagnetic bullshit to heat the pan instead of having the stove physically get hot. So if you turned on the induction stove, you could touch it and it wouldn't be hot. If you put a non metallic pan on the induction stove it won't get hot.
A crisper is a drawer inside the fridge which you stick veggies in to keep them from getting soggy. Or in my case you stick them there to forget they exist so they can rot.
We don't say glass cleaner or washing material dingus! The only way I know to refer to them is by the brand name, this is why it's difficult for me to make flash cards myself

Or perhaps try something like typescript on top of js.
Or perhaps deepen the knowledge by focusing on specific frameworks like React or Angular or something.

I love it. It disappoints though because without the same level of investment as other langs, it won't receive the same level of acceptance.

>>1165015Ah okay. You sent me that encryption book. And started the skeleton for that app I was going to learn to code. I can't believe I never got started on that. Executive dysfunction is a real productivity killer.
Um. Questions...
Is there a program or software you were really excited about but for whatever reason never got to finish?

>>1165116Probably the only thing it would want to eat is my bunny, which is not food. But I would try some of my vegan chicken nuggets and if that didn't work and I was desperate I might give it some of my blood. I have a bunch and I even make more! Would have to figure out a better long term situation than that but it's a place to start in this hypothetical.

now i know vaguely what you do, as a senior engineer, but i can also safely tell you that i don't know anything about what you actually do in your job
so, in terms that i can understand, what do you do? bonus points if you use metaphors and things that i do know more about!

>>1165180So imagine a big city, on one side they have a bus route to get around and the other side has a subway.
My team is responsible for one district of this city that spend east and west. Well mayor zuck declared all transportation in the city must be by subway, and additionally all subway trains are gonna be replaced with a new type of train that requires some modifications to the existing lines.
Now, another weird thing in this city is that there's no Google maps or big map you can use to find your way to your destination. You have to rely on information desks throughout the city along the routes to find which is you next leg of the trip to take
Following so far?
So my job is to help whatever I can to convert my part of the city to the new trains and off of buses and old trains. I usually do survey work to determine if the tracks need to be retrofitted to accommodate new the new trains. Sometimes the tracks work as is or need minor fixes, other times we have to decommission a line and rebuild on along a new route. Then I have to build a blueprint for how that new line works and train the help desk to route people correctly. Sometimes new trains and old trains run equivalent lines and I have to have a plan to make sure they don't collide before the old line is decommissioned.
Sometimes I help replacing the buses, but that isn't my specialty so I try to let others do it. I spent all my time working on subways and I know all the secrets of how those work so my time is better spent there. Of course, there's areas where the replacement tracks for the buses would connect to the train line and I help out a lot there
We're slowly converting things piece by piece onto the new transportation system, but it's tough because we also have to integrate routes through other parts of the city we don't own and those other places have their own idea of how to run this upgrade and we might need to make a junction with them today but they say they won't work on it for a while. Then I have to either talk to their city council to make a deal or agree to working on their tracks too. They of course don't like other people touching their transportation network but it's also free labor and nobody in this city has half the resources to do the work needed!
On occasion, I'll get in there and help with the retrofit or new line or help desk training work itself instead of just making blueprints, but usually it's better for me to direct other people to do that than me doing it myself. That kind of things usually happens when we know there's underground gas lines and power lines nearby and they need someone very familiar with the underground so we don't take out a city block accidentally!
Besides all that, I also run a commission to investigate on the job incidents. If a train crashes, a bunch of people are directed to the wrong place, a power line is severed, then that's gonna come by my desk and I have to put together a committee to figure out how fix the issue and prevent it from happening again. Of course, good prevention requires a lot of effort and we're already running low on resources. So it's a constant tug of war between doing things safely and getting the project finished! Sometimes people lose power for a few hours and we have to spend time fixing it but to make sure that never happens is such a high bar to reach. We do our best
Because this city is so understaffed, I also run the sheriff's department for my area of the city haha. So I run around trying to respond to reports and direct people when there's crime and try to find ways to prevent crime from happening with whatever budget I have. It's an uphill battle but recently I've gotten a lot more funding for this so that's cool
Well that's what I do basically! If I ever seem tired, it's because I feel like I'm running half the damn city haha

Are you interested in any physical technology news outside of your direct work at your job, like beyond computing but advancements in trains, planes, cars, trucks, and whatnot?
Like what about the newest trains?
>>>1165241Given what you've talked about fixing the past several months, frankly, I'm impressed by how smart you are, and how determined too!

>>1165241strangely enough, i've been watching urbanist youtubers talk about city infrastructure, so i had an unusually high understanding of that!
which means you get a tasty cake of bonus points!
see, you just need to get the trains to start doing multi-track drifting, and will double the production of the trains, and help you clear away infrastructure for new stuff in a firey hell blaze!

Explosions are fine until your job becomes investigation yourself and putting yourself in front of your own committee to ask yourself why you were so careless!

>>1165265then it's simple!
you take over the investigation
then you declare that "nothing wrong or illegal happened"
and then you go about your life!
