This is one of the reasons I think education in languages are really important. It makes you realise that language is just an encoding of a thought. The sounds are irrelevant. The choice to try to insult is key. Just because somebody used a word you do or don’t take offence to doesn’t matter. The important part is whether they meant to cause you harm.
I doubt that was a literal shower thought .
I find that response rather disappointing. It seems like your goals are not aligned with the people who are attending. You’re on a recruitment drive and they are trying to effect political change.
Dsa? Psl?
Agree with everything you said, but if you’re going to ask me about anything, then the thing I do 40 hours a week every week should be a safe subject. If I’m interviewing a chef, I’ll probably ask them about working in a kitchen. I may even ask them to demonstrate something.
I think it’s a reasonable expectation.
The key thing is to be as relaxed as you can be. Interviewing is a skill you learn, so go for a few interviews that you’re not as interested in. Try not to go for your dream job first, because you’ll be stressed to hell. Get a couple under your belt first if you can.
Interviews aren’t an exam. They’re a conversation.
This is a good point. Being interviewed is a learnt skill. You get better at it by doing more of them. I always advise people to start a job search by going on a couple of interviews that you’re not that interested in.
I don’t prepare, because it’s testing a task that I do pretty much everyday. If I can’t do it on-demand I don’t see how I can call myself a programmer. That said, I do have some strategies.
Often the interviewer isn’t looking for people able to recite detail in the documentation. They are looking at the quality of the code you’ll produce. So I concentrate on explaining my approach to the problem, rather than the code.
…and so on. If it’s on a whiteboard I’ll often write in pseudo-code that looks something like a language, but I’ll state that I’m not trying to write perfect, compiler ready code.
I let them guide me to the level of detail they are looking for.
If it turns out they want to score points on me for missing a bracket, or getting the order of arguments wrong, then I take that as a negative against the company. Interviews go both ways, and you’re looking for people you can work with too. So if they’re going to nitpick in an interview they’re probably going to be horrible to work with day-to-day.
You asked the equivalent of “What’s a limey bastard?” at a British pub. It’s quite funny, but basically everything you kicked off answers your question.
You’ve misunderstood the thread.
They refused to sign on to the new requirements along with everyone else.
Conflict often arises because somebody is pissed off and nobody is listening. The first thing to do is listen and understand where they are coming from.
Tense situation is a karen yelling at one of my colleagues because her father’s operation was postponed because I kid you not 4 doctors called in sick today. Rumor has it they’re striking for better pay.
So, this “Karen” has a sick relative that she wants be helped, and nobody is helping. Sounds like she’s got a fair reason to be agitated. Now you may not be able to do anything personally about it, but ignoring her makes the situation worse. Try listening and then explaining why you’re unable to help, maybe pointing her in the direction of somebody who has responsibility.
The first thing is to listen, then show a little fucking empathy.
Lets start by assuming the balloon stays the same size as it rises in the air column and we’ll ignore the temperature drop. The pressure and density of the gas inside the balloon remains the same, but at some point the air density outside the baloon will drop to match the density of helium inside the baloon. At that point the balloon would stop rising as the weight of the atmosphere it displaces is the same as weight of the helium filled balloon. It’s like a little boat on a sea of air.
However, balloons don’t stay the same size. As they float up the atmospheric pressure drops. The balloon will expand because the pressure inside the balloon is higher that the pressure outside. It still has a bouyant force on it because the weight of atmosphere it displaces is still larger than it’s own weight, so it continues to go up. Outside pressure continues to drop. Balloon continues to grow. Eventually the balloon bursts.
Personally I find she falls in to the category of people who protest things we already know are bad. So I think all she does is self-promote and accomplish nothing. I don’t disagree with her on any of the things she chooses to fight for, but I think she chooses the least effectual way to fight.
Great, she’s shown the IDF are a bunch of cunts who are preventing aid reaching Gaza. We knew that. What’s changed? IMO all she’s done is move the camera lenses from Gazans onto her for a while.
That this thread is full of results from existing studies.
I’d just built my first PC and had no love for Win 3.1 which was rapidly becoming the default. I wanted to keep codíng having come from from Atari STs and had no desire to learn the windows APIs. An OS that came with C compilers by default was higher level than I was used to as I’d been doing 68000 assembler on the ST, but it was still low level enough.
IIt was also similar enough to the Sun IPCs and IPXs that I was using at university.
I can’t read it, but I’ll guess his pitch is “Give me Ukraine and let me do what I want”. How close am I?
It changes.
In the UK the sequence Cameron -> May -> Johnson -> Truss -> Sunak definitely had differences. They were variations on a theme sure, but there were differences.
Impeachment just opens somebody up to trial without the protections of the office. It does not remove them from office.
Probably depends on what you mean by populist.
The solution will always be communication. You have to tell them that they are pushing you away; how they are hurting you; how you can’t live with the hate.
Keep away from the talking points. Talk about your feelings with them. Talk about your fear that if they continue you will lose them. If they still care about you, the thought that they are causing you pain should be horrific to them. Tell them that you fear losing them to hate.
…but keep away from the facts. Don’t try to prove them wrong. If they bring stuff up… “I don’t care if that’s true or not. It makes you angry, and full of hate, and I can’t live with that level of hate in my life”.
Share emotions. Don’t worry who’s right or wrong. It’ll be hard, but that’s the only way to start. Their rational brain is corrupted. It doesn’t work and appealing to it won’t work.
My french is good enough for the first part, and it’s practically non-existant.
