arxiv.org is a thing

We had one who pulled up the pdf of the textbook to read it word by word

Also surely a lot of people would know tar -Create Ze Vucking File and/or tar -Xtract Ze Vucking File

Funny story actually. After year 1 I was in peak condition, year 2 was normal, year 3 I gained weight. Year 1 I worked slowest and year 3 fastest. I just became way more efficient :p

I was garbage collector for 3 years as student job.

Not a single person in the company has done such a thing. We did dumb shit all the time but that wasn’t even close. I feel sorry that you decided that 1 person represents a whole industry

As long as you use proper lifting form it’s not that hard on your back. Without it you won’t last long though.

Also here in belgium all garbage collectors I know earn more than the teachers I know.

You get most of the day off after having worked a full day + still need a full and thorough shower + have low energy because it’s a physically demanding job

Running is not as extreme as you think, a lot of it is just carrying on the momentum of the truck after you jump off, other tham that it’s mostly just brisk walking.

The heavy stuff depends, regulations typically impose a limit on weight but a lot of people don’t follow it. You learn to use proper lifting form quite quickly though or you’ll get a hernia

It’s honestly not that shitty of a job (see my earlier comment https://programming.dev/comment/8949488 )

Fun fact: the main reason garbage collection is unhealthy is because you spend all day in the fumes of public roads & the truck you’re hanging behind.

Source: was garbage collector for 3 years as student job & we got a small hourly bonus for it.

Did it as a student job for 3 years. I was paid roughly 50% more than with all other student jobs.

Honestly collecting garbage is not even that bad. I got paid to do fitness all day, spending time outside while chatting with my coworker. The people sorting the trash, that was who we felt bad for. They had all the downsides of the job with none of the benefits.

You mean that instead of having a binary blob you have a generator for the data?

It’s all learned behaviour. If you grew up with F that makes total sense and C sounds ridiculous. If you grew up with C that’s totally intuitive for anyone, just as much as F, so using a scale that has no point outside of the weather sounds dumb. Neither system is more intuitive by any means. Both systems ave benefits and downsides.

Whenever I talk to americans and they use F I need to convert it because I grew up with C and that just makes more sense to me, even if I know the “0-100 F is according to human experience” thing. Like sure, 80F is hot, but how hot is it? Oh 27C that’s hot but not extreme.

Arguing one or the other is superior is not only pointless but also just silly

You clearly don’t use this one, don’t you know lemmy instances automatically censor your ********?

The oddity is having a military recruiter for a specific school. All we had was a stand for the military at a fair with all studies options (context: belgium)

Is there any reason why you didn’t just switch the keyboard layout to US if that’s what you’re used to?

I switched to US at some point because many if the keys for programming were just so much easier to access. If I have to use a pc for any decent amount of time, I just switch the OS layout to US now regardless of the layout that’s printed on the keyboard.

Context: I’m european. I know for sure the people at my local coffee shops are being paid a living wage, cause there’s laws for that.

Paying your employees a living wage is included in what I see as “a sustainable business model”.

I know the owner of my local coffee shop personally and while they charge €4 or more depending on the coffee you’re getting AND they roast their own coffee, so they cut down on the bean costs significantly while generating some extra profits as well by selling the beans, they still aren’t “just raking it in” as you make it seem.

A coffee from a coffee shop definitely should be $4 if you want them to ethically source good coffee and have a sustainable business model.

There’s still cheap, shitty coffee that’s built on modern slavery there’s always like mcdo. SB is the same quality ingredients but with knowing how to steam milk + syrups

Maybe the universal translator understands context and the intended meaning. The intended meaning was non-english so translating wouldn’t make sense.

Nope, IaaS. With a VPS you are in charge of everything except for the hardware. PaaS the only thing you’re in charge of is your code.
