roux is a lib

Either die or get a job. Not picky on which one.

Can I pretend I have mediocre experience of 5+ years and get away with applying for junior dev positions? 🤔

ML in the streets and AnCom in the sheets.

Technically 0 hours a day. Anyone wanna hire an unemployed mediocre programmer?

The dead frog in the show box scene had me laughing so hard the first time I saw it I was actually crying.

Imo homemade is better. This makes enough for 2 lbs of pasta and I found it freezes very well so we got 2 while meals out of it last time I made it.

I say “my recipe” but I got it from here: https://www.forkintheroad.co/vegan-spinach-pesto/#recipe

I use sunflower seeds instead of pine nuts because I’m not a millionaire. I have made it with a blend of spinach and basil before as well. Spinach is cheaper unless you grow basil or something.

This is actually the route I’ve been inching towards. I’ve started getting my veggie burgers with just veggies and will make a slaw for my tacos and I’ve been missing it less and less. I’m mostly gonna treat it as part of my “vegan junk food” list hopefully going forward.

But like I’ll still use nooch for like my pesto and such lol. But my pesto recipe is one of those things where you can’t even really tell it’s vegan imo.

You don’t really miss it after a few months. And maybe it’s stockholme syndrome but lately when I get something with vegan “cheese” on it, it hasn’t been awful. Last weekend I got a Daiya pizza thinking it was gonna be complete trash and it wasn’t horrible actually.

This is precisely what I was thinking. It happened a few times and later it worked again. I think it’s just happening because it’s not Twitter. It’s just a redirect site so it’s literally the same exact content.

I use the LibRedirect for various sites and half the time it either doesn’t load Tweets or it comes up with a page that Nitter was flagged for serving illegal content.

Thankfully what I mostly do right now isn’t gonna break anything major but I have had a few after 5 calls from product owners because certain things in our software that is custom configured for each client might have been done wrong(it’s kind of common enough that it isn’t that big of a deal) and it’s mostly a quick fix and from lack of communication. Where I struggle with is that I am first to call for support issues and I still don’t quite know the software or the industry like the back of my hand.

The small project I am rolling around in my head is probably already made but I want to be able to create a chat app that has full E2E encryption with chat history/room deletion based on if the chat hasn’t been active for a few hours or whatever. Sort of encrypted chat but with the killswitch of a VPN. But I don’t know if it already existing matters as much as the experience I would get from just doing it.

Also thanks for the encouragement. Lately especially I have been beating myself up because I should really be further along than where I am.

I actually got my first real project a few weeks ago after over a year here and just completely screwed the pooch on it. I had like 2 methods written but no functionality after a week with it. I don’t know if I was asking the wrong questions or what but the product owner which was one of our senior devs really had me struggling.

I’m finishing up on a course this week that covers a few things that my school didn’t cover and then I am gonna start working on my own project to hopefully get my bearings straight. I don’t really have one in mind but I’m considering a messenger app or ye ole student registry type app that a lot of people start with.

Meanwhile my dumbass has been trying to be even remotely functional with programming. A degree and a software dev job later I still don’t think I really get it.

Tbf I’ve had a similar thing happen like 6 years ago. I’ve been using Linux still but at the time I didn’t have much going on that system outside of a few games so it just turned into a long reinstall weekend. I forget exactly what happened but I also had another issue where I tried to install KDE Plasma desktop environment and it completely nuked my system. Idk if it was a user error or what.

I’m still a Linux fanboy but it’s not without its own set of issues. I try to be a bit more careful in the terminal after all that and I haven’t had any major issues since. I do need to do a fresh install sometime in the near future though.

Stuff like East Anti Cheat needs to have support for Linux essentially turned on. Otherwise the game won’t run even if WINE/Proton can run the game fine. I think a lot of devs don’t bother because they don’t know Linux in case OS specific support might be required, and the market was fairly small up until the Steam Deck came out.

For an example. A few weeks after the Steam Deck came out, suddenly Apex Legends and a few other games could be run on Linux without anti-cheat issues. The developers just turned on a switch and made a new build essentially.

For the longest of time is Linux users were mostly just told that people use Linux to cheat in games and that’s not really the case.

Overall though there is no real reason why anti-cheat software shouldn’t be able to work on Linux.

Not gonna lie some of the expansion mods I’ve seen scare me. I do wanna get back to Factorio if this DSP kick ever finishes though.

That’s fair. I watched the whole trilogy and honestly it just becomes a slog. They took a novel idea and tried to franchise it and I think that wasn’t the best idea. Hardcore Henry is still very much superior.

If you like cheesy b horror and practical effect demo there is one called Hotel Inferno that is first person continual shot similar to Hardcore Henry but it can be a bit rough at times. The English dubbing isn’t great for example. At times the practical effects almost feels like the finisher kills from Doom 2016.

Another movie that essentially tells the same story in a different setting is Snowpiercer. Both movies are great imo.
