I got a callback from one of the many job application (finally), had to complete a task (I didn't even get started), and I think that the requirements were pretty unreasonable?
  • Might be much for an internship, but they aren't asking for months of work.

    When they ask for LinkedIn clone without feeds, it's pretty clear they just mean the ability to create, edit, and share a profile. They basically say as much in further bullet points. That's straight up CRUD(minus delete). This is pretty much backed up by them wanting NextJS and MongoDB.

    The next key requirement that sounds like it would take a lot of time is the SEO part of it. That doesn't make sense at first glance, but since they specify that one must use NextJS, it becomes more clear what they meant. NextJS offers feature specific for SEO score like SSR and component streaming. So they want them to implement something regarding that.

    The rest are just what you should do with any take home, follow best practices and provide a readme detailing why you made what decisions. If you chose something over another option mention it because that tells whoever looking at it that you at least thought of it.

    Overall, may be too much for an intern, but they probably don't expect them to finish it. Just list what they would do to complete it in the readme and leave it at that.

  • Supreme Court agrees to weigh whether Trump can be kicked off ballot in Colorado
  • That just means every member of congress is an insurrectionist because they have just as much or more power to change that.

    It is not insurrection in either todays definition or the 14ths contemporary definition, and that would be slapped down.

  • Sorry Ezri
  • They could of made Dax join with Arjin(Geoffrey Blake) and make it like Curzon choosing Jedzi. At least we'd have better context of the character and we wouldn't have had to spent half of the last season establishing and developing Ezri.

  • Them's Fightin' Herds to end active development without finishing story mode
  • I mean, the game is good, but you can see the spike in steam charts right at the point it was announced for EVO. Like outside the initial release, the game averaged under 20 players. After that they spiked and then just slowly got back to averaging less than 20 players the last few months.

    I like the game, but it's not comparable to the other successful indie titles like UNIST or Skull Girls. Yeah it kills punch planet, but outside the first few months it released to may 2021, it did similar numbers.

  • wtf is wrong with my computer
  • WD40 isn't a lubricant, it's for "Water Displacement." While as a liquid it can be used as one, it is a poor one. It's whole purpose is to cover a metal part with a hydrophobic layer. It's good at removing water from something like your sparkplugs. Maybe they thought water had gotten in and was causing issues with contact?

  • Beating Jekyll and Hyde - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)
  • Or barred because he literally posted a literal dick measuring picture to twitter. Or that he ran off Bootsy. Or that his drunken antics were always causing problems. He's a problematic guy even without considering the racist comic.

    Too bad lots of people stay friends with shitty people, I won't fault James for that. It's hard to cut them off once they are already in your life.

    At least they separated professionally for the most part(I think Mike has shown up in costume uncredited in two recent episodes, and James has joined a stream or two of Mike's when hanging out with him)

  • the right reacting to a leftist meme
  • I think the big issue is that joking about school shootings is satirical to bring up how common it is in hopes to change it, while joking about fat people is just to be mean. No one is going to change because you made fun of them, in fact it might make the problem worse as state of mind is a factor in being unhealthy.

    You could probably make the same argument about abortion jokes being satirical, but I don't think abortion jokes are made in order to enact social change. It's usually just to be offensive. Satire is usually used to point out how ridiculous something is, the hope is that we as a society will see it and do something about it.

  • Chinese programmer ordered to pay 1m yuan for using virtual private network
  • The 1m was confiscated because it was ‘illegal income’, not because he used VPN.

    Yes, it’s still shitty that using VPN to access GitHub makes his income illegal

    using VPN ... makes his income illegal

    Yes, they fine wasn't a flat 1m or whatever, but because he earned it while using a VPN on and off(cuz the great firewall periodically blocks github). None of that would of happened if he didn't use a VPN, so saying that the direct reason he's in trouble isn't why he got punished is less honest.

    If your complaint is about how the number was determined, perhaps it would be better as "Chinese programmer ordered to pay entire income(1m yuan) for using Virtual Private Network." Honestly, either headline is fine as long as the details of how that number was chosen is in the article.

  • Hunter Biden sues Rudy Giuliani, attorney Robert Costello for "hacking" laptop data
  • From Washington Post:

    In the lawsuit, Biden does not concede that the laptop was his, but he does acknowledge that at least “some of the data that Defendants obtained, copied, and proceeded to hack into and tamper with belongs” to him. The lawsuit charges that Biden’s data was “manipulated, altered and damaged before it was copied and sent” to Giuliani and Costello.

    He specifically says some of his private data was hacked, he's not saying the laptop they had was his, just they definitely had his private data.
