Kill the ads for sure, but go ahead and give me movie trailers before the start, but with some limitations in place:

  1. None of this "THE. TRAILER. STARTS. NOW" before the trailer starts
  2. The trailer must have a maximum length so it doesn't go on too long
  3. The trailer shouldn't give the entire plot away

Loving Dandadan and obsessed with the intro. The initial episodes fan-service bothered me as it normally does in anime, but it seems to have died down almost instantly after the first episode. The story is both crazy and feels wholesome in some way.

Got to say, I'm liking the strawberry milkshake colour background.

I'm truly impressed by the photographer not being in the photos.

Got a couple.

The first bad interview I turned up and had to wait for the owner who rocked up 15 minutes late. We had a discussion and he was happy with my IT skills, we then got into a discussion of how to run the business.

He asked me what would I do if a salesman kept selling Linux support to businesses but the company had no one that had experience of it, I said it didn't feel morally right to sell something that you can't actually fulfill currently, put a cork in the salesman regarding Linux support, train/hire staff and when ready then continue to offer it. He said that's not how his business works and to drive the business the salesman was doing the right thing.

During that interview I saw someone walk into the office that I had worked with in the past, they were incredibly unreliable, bad at the job and were fired, this one guy appearing gave me the final sign this was not the workplace for me. After the interview they gave me an offer that I declined.

The second interview probably a out 2 months later I turned up to was a small company of maybe 3 people. I turned up and it was a shared office space they used, he walked up to the receptionist and asked if there was a meeting room available, she said no. So he led me to the kitchenette area where he offered for me to sit on a sofa not to dissimilar to this...

Thee casting couch....

Having the hum of a vending machine in the background added to the ambience. We got to chatting and it sounded like the guy didn't really know what he wanted to do with the business or how to run it, generally seemed disorganised.

Towards the end of the interview wouldn't you know it, the same guy I used to work with walked into the kitchenette wearing the t-shirt of a company in the building, gave me "the nod" and proceeded to use the vending machine, which failed to dispense his choice and he stood there shaking the machine.

This guy must have been some kind of angel in place to stop me from taking bad jobs. I declined the offer they gave me. A year or so later I was telling a friend about this and we checked on the company, it went out of business.

They were bad interviews, but I still got something out of them.

Thanks for the response! Is there any estimate on when this is likely to be fixed?

I'm convinced that a lot of the Chinese takeaways in the UK are used for money laundering. Like 90% of the takeaways you go to only accept cash. I get they probably want to avoid a bit of tax on their earnings, but to completely exclude card sales and potentially lose out on that business really makes me think they are up to more.

You probably already have one, but if you don't; get an electric toothbrush.

Also get a water flosser for when you CBA to manually floss! Imo something is better than nothing.

 

Has anyone found since installing Balatro it is using battery even when you're not running it?

I noticed recently my battery has been running down a bit more than usual. I then noticed since my last charge it says Balatro has been using my battery even though I haven't played and it's not running as an app that I can close in the background.

This is a US website no?

My employer has already been putting measures in place to what seems to be potential loopholes. Hybrid working was bundled as part of "flexible working", they have separated it out into a different terminology. The term Flexible Working is now purely for those who want to change their hours like removing a day once a week and getting paid less, or moving hours from one day into the other 4.

A large number of companies are pushing to get people to RTO and I get the feeling these workers rights won't counteract that.

Ditto! My mum would jazz it up a tad by making an apple sauce to go with it. To this day it's so memorable for me as a delicious desert but for some reason I've not attempted to make it myself

BorrowBox is pretty great in what you can borrow for free. My other half gets audio books from it from time to time!

 

Hey all, I'm still a junior dev with years of experience in IT. One of the things I've noticed since making the switch is that (at least where I work) documentation is inconsistent.

Things I encounter include incomplete documentation, outdated documentation and written process details that have assumed knowledge which makes it difficult for junior Devs to pick up.

I've had a search and a lot of what is out there talks more about product and how to document that SDLC rather than best practice in writing and organising documents against the actual software engineering and its processes.

Does anyone have any good sources or suggestions on how I could look to try and begin to improve documentation within my team?

 
 

I recently kept getting advertised Loudermilk on Netflix. I'd see the initial trailer that they play and wasn't intrigued. I then sat down for lunch and wanted something to watch, I decided to give it a go and after the first couple of episodes I was hooked. I finished season 3 and it was such a fun show to watch. Unfortunately I see the studio that created it has been shuttered. What's the likelihood this show will ever be picked up again?

 

I know this is probably a long shot but does anyone know of a non-biased source of all party Manifestos?

I remember some time ago there was a site where people could answer questions on subjects that were important to them and based on those which party is recommended.

 

tl;dr Fantasia will give a 60-minute window for you to go back into the editor to keep making changes

 

Looks like someone managed to pull the gear sets from the benchmark. Loving the extra detail to all the gear, even if some look a little boring.
