That depends where you are. In America it is more often associated with lynchings than suicide.

Fair point, and taken. Interviews are a two-way street: the candidate should ask about everything that matters to them, and the company should ask about everything important they want.

To avoid situations like this, it’s best not to assume anything unless you ask first. Windows is the de facto standard in business, yes, but not everywhere and not in every industry.

If your work OS matters to you enough that you will pass on the job if you can’t pick, then you should ask. I would not want to hire someone who will be miserable in the job. And as a middle manager I probably don’t have enough pull to make an exception just for this guy anyway.

Rock stars play by their own rules and they will get whatever they ask for. For the rest of us, we just have to take what we’re issued.

Why would you not be very clear about this right at the start of the interview process so you’re not wasting everybody’s (including your own) time? If this is one of your absolute show-stoppers, then say so up front and we can either work with IT to get you what you want, or decline and move on to the next candidate.

Oof I saw that on HN but didn’t read up on it yet.

I’m a supporter and defender of open source, but I do have to watch for these things regularly in my $dayjob. However I would never propose this as a workaround. All the issues of trusting AI generated code side, this is just disingenuous in my opinion.

This is mostly true, but it depends on the license. Godot is MIT so they’re fine.

It usually depends if you link against/embed their code. For example if the library is GPL (LGPL is usually fine) then your game code may be liable to become GPL as well.

The moral of the story is to always check the license of your dependencies before distribution.

For very simple Kubernetes and Docker environments, I’ve used Dex IdP with good results. It’s low on features, but easy to set up.

Du har rett, det var ikke beste eksempelet kanskje, men er et jeg husket fra ungdomstiden da Språkrådet begynte å anbefale dette. Det var ikke få protester mot det heller på den tiden.

På motsatt side liker jeg å følge med et par YouTube kanaler: Rob’s Words og Words Unravelled. De tar en litt populistisk titt på opprinnelse av ord og uttrykk. Som du nevnte, så er det ofte man får ord som spretter fram og tilbake mellom språk over tid, og det har de vist flere eksempler på. Det er ikke alltid lett å vite hvor ordene egentlig kom fra.

Jeg har ikke bodd i Norge på en stund, så akkurat det med engelske importord har vært veldig tydelig for meg. Det skjærer gjennom for meg når folk nærmest bytter til engelsk midt i en setning. Eller kanskje enda verre: der de bruker ord i sin engelske betydning, men som har en annen betydning på norsk. Litt frustrerende for oss som prøver å følge med i norsk media for å holde språket vedlike. :)

Hei Becky. Det er kanskje ikke så mange gamle norske ord som kommer fra engelsk, men norsk har veldig mange lånord fra engelsk i fagspråk, spesielt i teknologi.

Det som kanskje gjør det litt vanskelig å finne disse ordene er et Språkrådet anbefaler å bruke norsk skrivemåte når utenlandske ord blir tatt opp i språket (norvagisering).

For eksempel brukte vi å skrive «yacht» som var lånt fra engelsk, men nå skrives det «jåt». Et annet mer moderne eksempel er «føkk» som er tatt opp i norsk, med varianter som for eksempel «føkkings».

I think Slackware dwarfed even Office on floppy count, but it may have depended on which modules you needed.

I’ve had the pleasure of installing Windows 95 and Slackware from floppy and I can’t say I miss that part.

I also have a box just like the one in the picture sitting in my drawer right now. With floppies. One of them has Netscape on it. I really should clean some day.

Getting an ID in the US is not as simple or cheap as it can be in Europe. A lot of people simply can’t afford it.

Most people don’t travel abroad (expensive) so they don’t have a passport.

Usually the drivers license and social security card (not valid for id on its own) is all they have. Even getting a copy of your birth certificate can be time consuming and expensive.

Everything is done on paper. You need to go to the court house and wait in line during the day when you need to be at work (and can’t get time off). You have to update your registration every time you move, even if it’s a few blocks because of gerrymandering. Your voting location changes and is not always intuitive. Parking can be limited and lines long.

You need paper copies of multiple other forms of id. And then they can make you do it all again by taking you off the voter list for “reasons”.

This is all intentional. They don’t want poor people to vote.

This is on top of the combo of a complicated electoral system that honestly most Americans don’t even fully understand, partially because it’s not taught well in schools.
