  • Looking for specific app

    Jump

  • I find it hard to beat Markor (available on F-Droid) for quick journaling on a phone.

    It has quick keys for instant open note files and todolist files, and has customizable (and reorderable) buttons, including an available button that inserts the current date with one touch.

    So in your shoes I would pull the quick date button to the start of the toolbar, and add dream logs to the Quick Note every morning.

    So then the taps are:

    1. Open Markor
    2. Tap Quick Note
    3. Tap Insert Date (looks like clock)

    Then type in dream notes.

    1. Tap 'Save'.

  • At the very least, they played a really memorable gig at Tenagra.

  • Should I trade in my car for something cheaper?

  • One of your implied questions is, "Can I get a reliable vehicle from around 2015 and spend less than $414 monthly, combined, on loan interest and repairs?"

    To which I say, "probably". I've bought cars that meet those requirements, for my definition of "reliable". But your needs may vary.

    I will say, financing a car is among the top unnecessary "stupid taxes" that I have paid, in hindsight.

    Now that I don't have car payments, I've found that ~$414 per month chucked into a savings account can buy a surprisingly decent car surprisingly quickly.

    And having no car payment feels like I imagine having a rich uncle must feel like.

  • What's your version of "I DON'T like it but I do like people who do like it"?

  • (not my meme, but I'll add) Some missing context - Professor Chang, pictured in the meme - is also shouting at something that clearly isn't gay.

    Professor Chang is essentially a continuous uncomfortable non-sequiter of nonsense.

  • How it started vs. How it's going

    Jump

  • Lol. When I retire, I'm going to change all my job titles on social media to "entrepreneur" just to fuck with my friends.

  • Yes. I love the confidently incorrect additional comments explaining in detail how the incorrect code works.

    Though I'm usually pretty angry at that point, it is also pretty funny.

  • The twofold reason Cybersecurity professionals always hit the bar early on Friday afternoon:

    1. It's a great example for their sysadmin colleagues.
    2. Easy access to sysadmin colleagues if something goes wrong.

  • ISBN Search is a non-monopolist source of the same information.

  • What reason do I express for changing jobs during my interview?

    Jump

  • Agreed. And either way, they remember me fondly later when they're ready for their next job switch...

  • As a hiring manager, I hear "my position is a one year contract" fairly regularly. It tells me a couple things:

      1. This person is talent I wouldn't have access to if not for the expiring contract.
      1. There's a solid chance that the current employer gets off their ass and makes a permanent offer when they realize I've made an offer.

    Honestly, neither is a negative, to me.

    • Regarding 1, I do like when I get a shot at talent that wouldn't normally be on the market. I have a track record of successfully recruiting and retaining those folks.
    • Regarding 2, Knowing there's a chance their current employer will counter-offer is pretty normal for the talent I hire. I already account for that when making my job offers.

    So overall, as others have said, I would just tell the truth about this. Everyone has a right to look out for their job security.

  • In my experience

    That's great, and that's why it's an option.

    But research consistently shows that everyone is different and has different learning needs.

    More ways to learn means more people succeed in learning.

    Now your specific question is still quite interesting, with emphasis added to default:

    Why it is not the default option for universities?

    I think online is rapidly becoming the default for anything that can be learned online, for anyone who can learn online.

    But I'm thankful that we have both community colleges and universities for things that cannot be effectively taught online and for people who needs more modes of learning.

  • Yeah. Every farmer I've met was also a solid mechanic.

  • That's pretty plausible. Inexperienced engineer plus overheating...good chance that adds up to a malware infection.

  • Yeah. Hiring inexperienced children into government isn't fraud, by itself. But I bet it makes fraud way easier.

  • has Elmo only hired people who claim that they can "wrangle data" and say "yes" ?

    There's two issues going on:

    1. Elmo's sociopathic approach to laying people off is public knowledge, and top experts have the luxury of not even applying for his jobs.
    2. Elmo's ability to judge engineering talent has likely been wildly exaggerated thanks to how he has successfully bought organizations full of talented people, in the past.

  • What is a specific fear you have?

    Jump

  • Im not sure what is going to happen when I have kids

    For me, it went like this:

    • I'm afraid I'll drop or hurt this tiny helpless child.
    • But this tiny helpless child can't even go drink milk by itself.
    • I guess I can only make things better helping it get milk. I'll just be really careful.
    • That wasn't so bad. I guess I can do this.

    Then repeat in stages every 15 minutes or so as it needs diapers, or cuddles to warm up, or cleaned, or milk again, or diapers again.

    Until eventually I'm confidently picking it up in a moment of complete terror so that it won't run out into traffic.
