Absolutely. It’s from the time when families used to share a single phone! That they glued to the wall!!

I’ve only heard it phrased as “person” or “human”, so I guess that’s a good sign :)

Not understanding the questions is very much an indicator.

If it is an option, ask to take these tests together with a professional during assessment. They can both clarify the questions and will also make note of your approach to the test which is strong data.

Omg! Thank you!

Turns out it was this one: https://www.lemon64.com/game/microdeal-shuttle

Been gaming since 1984 or some such.

By number of hours played: Factorio

By number of hours I can monologue about a game at you: also Factorio

By how much I think it affected gaming industry and culture: Doom

The case studies, historical events, and intellectual movements discussed in the book all receive superficial treatment, and in general the content does not work in service of the argumentation.

That’s how academics say “this book is racist horseshit”

Xenon 2?

If you do microcontroller, look up PID regulator functions. Stabilizes anything measurable with super basic math.

Man made. Caused by the person cutting the plank doing a shit job.

Haha, that’s the attitude :)

I did say, in a nice way, that “they are your competitors either way”.

And yeah, companies treating interviews as a one-way evaluation is a red flag.

There was this book that was hype around 2010, called “Are you smart enough to work at Google?”. It was full of interview questions and brainteasers that I strongly suspected I’d find interesting, but I couldn’t get over the title. I wanted to scream “Fuck you, book! Is Google smart enough to hire ME?!”

We are, as a profession, systematically manipulated via these interview processes to feel stupid and inferior to drive down wages. I’d rather come off as slightly too arrogant now and then, rather than submit to that.

there are people who make me feel good because they give me various benefits. is that what you mean?

No, but it is a good point to bring up, because it illustrates the attitude you bring to human interactions. It reduces people to transactions, and it shines through. This creates a very strong wall/barrier to forming connections.

Start liking people. Practice finding things you like with people around you. Things that make you feel they are a good person.

React positively to other people when they say or do things.

Show interest in what occupies other people.

(And of course don’t do stupid shit like lash out or insult people to feel better.)

Real conversation, not exaggerated. Actually slightly toned down:

“We offer a competitive salary! It’s $number!”

“I have 2 offers 10% higher, from a shipping company and a finance company, in the same city”

“We don’t compete with the finance and shipping sectors”

“And 15% higher in one of the consultancies”

“We don’t compete with consultancies either”

(I think I’m going to put Reigninh Monarch of Norway on my CV. I just don’t compete with King Harald.)

Memoization cards! Good for driving snippets of information through short-term memory, medium-term, and into long-term.

Cut up cardboard pieces roughly credit card sized.

On each write a cue on one side e.g. “Anatomical name of funny bone”, and answer on other side e.g. “ulnar nerve”.

Keep them in stacks of “hourly”, “daily”, “weekly”, “monthly”.

Every hour, go through the hourly pile one by one and try to answer it, then flip and check. If correct, move to daily pile.

Every day, go through daily pile. Correct go to “weekly”, incorrect go back to “hourly”.

Etc for the other piles

i was literally just asking about mosquito bites what the fuck

You also asked if you should lie about safety on stuff to inject into other human beings who need medical aid. That shouldn’t even be a question. Needing money is no excuse to gamble with the lives of others.

The naming pattern makes it easier to have different “models” per major retailer. This hinders consumer price comparisons.

Why would anyone give a shit about negotiating with a government that change course 180 degrees on a whim, and recently launched a surprise fucking drone strike on Iran even while they were cooperating militarily?

Any negotiated promise or commitment from the US would be literally worthless. They’d just forget in a week anyway.

The music is stored in compressed form 7z, which as far as I can tell contains a few notes, a folder A that says “1000 x notes”, a folder B that says “1000 x A”, a folder C that says “1000 x B” etc in a long LONG string.

Except they made funnier folder names.
