I almost gave up on Starfield because the main quest is just chasing MacGuffins around the universe, apparently? But I started doing the Ryujin Industries side quests and those are kinda fun I guess.

I don’t know the context here, but my college roommate used to listen to Car Talk and I hated it. He hated when I watched Star Trek though, so we both just sucked it up and dealt with it like adults.

Is it the employer’s responsibility to determine that somebody is or is not a spy? Like the scam here was to do the actual job and send money back, not to steal company information etc. companies have legal obligations to make sure people are authorized to work in the US etc, but the government sets those standards. If you’ve got convincing enough paperwork, it’s the governments job to enforce this stuff, not the employer.

That said, I’ve interviewed several remote people who were clearly using fake identities and also clearly didn’t have the skills for the job. Seems obvious their scam was to just collect a paycheck doing nothing, so if that’s the same group, then the employers bear some fault for hiring unqualified people… but on the other hand if the North Koreans were actually doing the jobs they were paid for, no reason the company should care.

There any xenonauts communities on lemmy?

Way too many other meetings. Meetings all the time.

There was a nice period where we had 2 meetings a week. One team meeting, then one social happy hour meeting with just the devs and no manager. (Mostly so we could complain about the manager, but general social bonding also). We also did plenty of ad-hoc meetings as needed, but generally the two regularly scheduled ones struck a good balance of getting things done without wasting time.

In hindsight, that manager could be a difficult person to work with, but the overall balance of trade-offs was way better with him than it is now. Very few, very efficient meetings, were one of the positive tradeoffs for sure.

How much does your SDK do? If it's just wrapping calls to an HTTP API, use something like OpenAPI / Swagger to document the API, then auto-generate client libraries based on the OpenAPI specs.

Then if you add any language-specific niceties on top of the auto-generated code (i.e. accessor functions to set up user credentials etc) you have to write tests for those parts in that particular language. But the bulk of the API you can test in whichever language you prefer, then just assume the code generator is doing its job and creating a compatible API in the other languages.

I was so hopeful when that was going on, that they were building up to a larger reveal. Like this was before they did any Mirror Universe episodes, so I was really hoping they’d do a thing where Crewman Daniels reveals that Archer’s moral compromises were leading up to that timeline, and they work together to set things right. Would have been the perfect commentary on where US foreign policy was going at the time.

But instead they did space Nazis and revealed that humans in the mirror universe were always evil for no real reason.

Hmmm, ok I misread it. I was thinking the duplicate had already been printed before the conversation started, and they were waiting to destroy the original. But he does say the duplicate has been printed "complete with memory of this conversation".

I guess if he remembers the conversation he knows it’s not true. If he doesn’t remember the conversation, you get more amusement next time you tell him.

Fully remote job and we have people spread across time zones. We just moved it to 8:45 AM west coast time, because the previous 7:15 time slot wasn't working for those of us way over here. I kinda feel bad for the east coast people who have to do it at 11:45 now, since that's usually lunch time for me.

Really I wish we'd go back to just not doing standups.

software developers with access to GitHub’s Copilot chatbot were able to finish a coding task 56 percent faster than those who did it solo

Are these competent developers, or the kind who already take 4 or 5 times longer to do a task than their peers?

Several couples have selected the “divorce” option and passed those lamps on in the intervening years. You’re next, bub.

Given the year, this probably came from one of those “Playboy lite” men’s magazines that were popular at the time, like Maxim or FHM.

Later on when I want to look productive I’ll delete all those printfs then pay myself on the back for committing a lot of code changes that sprint and for reducing our log storage costs by 75%

Value watching is just printf; change my mind

Is gmail still considered beta?

I appreciate the quick hack, but with a little more foresight you could have just put up a blurry jpeg with that number and changed the prompt so it looks like a CAPTCHA. Nobody would have given it a second thought.

well, "Genesis does what Nintendo won't do", therefore Genesis must run Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p 60fps.

Why can't I play it on my Super Nintendo?
