I’m still in a mechanical engineering world so just saying INT and FLOAT has people running away. Excel is the “safe zone” for them, sadly it means that I’ll just be doing the VBA part and oh gawd please get me out of here…

Can confirm. Was quite unhappy in my mechanical engineering job, had an opportunity to develop something nice in python, was told we’d do it in excel/vba instead, still unhappy.

I remember those questions! As soon as I read high school my mind went from “working for Canonical would be nice” to “let’s justify not writing an essay by reading everything bad about Canonical”.

Lucky for me it was easy as r/recruitinghell was full of post about people doing the whole process and being rejected. Also the CEO had a reddit account and the way he was justifying this process didn’t jive with me, at all.

Just tried both and I don’t know which one made me feel better

One felt like being run over by a train, the other felt I was a legless puppy in front of a kindergarten.

I dunno, I’m getting tired of them

“Dasher, Dancer, Prancer…”

“His name is Meatball”

Having to install things mostly through flatpaks works seamlessly until it doesn’t. Then you’re stuck in dependency hell where you have to open holes in your containers to allow access to files or binaries.

I’m at a point where I layer enough software that I don’t know If there is still value added.

Another solution is to do z-hop inlay

+1… Started using Zola and built on top of it to learn scss, javascript, and HTML. All that extra building was not required for a running site but was still a great learning experience.

Some bloggers have experimented and used Mastodon as a medium to comments on their blog posts. Works quite well.

30 years ago was 1994, the internet was quickly becoming a thing and if you would have told them that companies would eventually offer extra services if you chose to store your data with them, they would have believed you because that’s how the banking system worked for centuries prior.

Siemens makes NX. Catia is made by Dassaults. They compete for the same space in the market

It’s a software that is used extensively in aerospace and car industries. It’s also ludicrous how expensive the licenses are.

It’s hard to beat for completeness of functions but also for complexity.

Working with Catia is the other way around, no amount of documentation is complex enough that you really understand what something does or can do.

Damn, rust really embrace the “Hey, Can I copy your homework?” Meme. I like rust btw, it’s just funny how often I see something along the line of “it’s like X, but in rust!”

It’s a pretty standard process to have some parts installed “loose” and tightened at a later time. It could be to ensure fitment, add rigidity or even just to protect the mating surfaces from the elements during transport.

Also it’s probably not just because Boeing is gonna open them up that they don’t fully secure them. I haven’t seen the specs but it’s quite common to have a reinspection requirements when disassembling something that was fully installed for stress and damage.

Pretty much nothing in aerospace is left to communications. The assembly manuals are not just complete, they are painfully exhaustive.

I think you mean red, blue, yellow , and green in Japan.

1st gen was brutal

I’m just waiting for ntscworld so I can buy the dual pack of almost identical games.

Fedora 39

The main issue is programming in a specific language limit who can contribute to those who speaks that language. In that sense English makes sense as it is already a widely used language in a work context. It would probably limit those who are willing to use the software as it makes auditing harder.
