@mnot It seems that Google still sucks at finding product names : Why call your spying AI powered tool "sTitch" when "sNitch" is much more appropriate ?

@leeloo @chris Is it the same Denmark that *check notes* helped the NSA spy on other european countries (and it's own people) for years ?

How do you say "irony" in danish ?

A massive power cut has hit large parts of Spain and Portugal. Shops, restaurants, and card payments were plunged into darkness. Card payments are not being accepted due to the power outage. Huge queues at cash points to get some cash for daily stuff. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c9wpq8xrvd9t This is why keeping some cash at home or wallet is so important. You never know. Too much reliance on digital world can mess you up badly. I hope it will get sorted out quickly.
Spain rules out cyber-attack as cause of power outage as travel chaos continues - live updates

Portugal's prime minister also says there is no indication of a cyber-attack, as officials investigate what caused the power outages.

@nixCraft is the alt text ai generated? Because "where the interviewer expresses surprise that the candidate's custom programming language, XYZZY, is only a year old," seems factually wrong. The interviewer isn't surprised by the languages age but that the candidate has not the right experience years count of that language, even so the candidate is the mind behind the language and it only exists one year.
It probably references an experience of a developer who actually experienced that himself.

I've seen that for other languages.
I think it's:
IT: "We need someone skilled in X".
HR: "No idea what X is, but our policy is at least 4 years experience in any programming language so that's what we'll put in the advert."

@not2b @nixCraft It has been going on a long time; I remember seeing a job ad early on for a Java developer where the experience requirement meant that only James Gosling or other people in the Star7 team at Sun who made what became Java could qualify…
Show threadTordenstormApr 19
@not2b @nixCraft that can possibly be a sign of a ghost job announcement. They announce non-existing positions and list impossible requirements so that they needn't interview any applicants for a position that has never existed.
Show threadLog 🪵Apr 19
@deadknight @not2b @nixCraft They create jobs with impossible requirements, so they can claim no local applicants are qualified, and seek temporary immigrant workers, who must lie on their resume to meet the requirements, and who then have no negotiating power because...
1. They can be fired for cause at any time because they lied when applying (by necessity).
2. They can be expeditiously be deported after being fired.
So they get paid far below what they should for the work being done.

@nixCraft i was rejected at an application to a job because i only had 5 years of experience in .NET Core.

They wanted someone with at least 6 and preferably 8.

At the time it was exactly 5 years since .NET Core hit beta and became widely available though not suited for production, and that was when i had started using it.

I told them "you're not going to find that until more time has passed" and i got a condescending reply.

I was one of the people writing the original Java language, and after I had worked on it for two years (and it was first released to the public after I started), I applied for a job and was disqualified because I had less than 5 years Java experience. Much eye rolling ensued.
