Motorola (technically owned by Lenovo now, but even some of the Lenovo phones are great).

I have this one. It’s the best Android calculator I’ve used.

I love the widget feature. You can add a whole calculator to your home screen, I have it taking up my second page, so whenever I need a calculator I swipe across once and it’s there.

As someone who went from being miserable running a pizza kitchen, to my dream job of being a software engineer, I can’t fathom how anyone would want to go the opposite direction. Everyone has different preferences I suppose.

Don’t forget to enable himem.sys

For some reason it never occurred to me to check if others online were sharing their own bad experience of the canonical recruitment process. That would have lessened the impact a bit at the time if I knew it wasn’t just me.

I was going through two other recruitment processes at the same time, so I didn’t stop too long to think about it.

I’m in Australia, not showing up for me.

Yep, this is the reason. I have many different identity key files in my ~/.ssh folder, and for some reason ssh always tries all of those first, then exhausts the login tries and doesn’t ask for a password.

I have the same problem when I specify a specific private key file with -i ./path/to/priv.key. If that key is different than the ones in my .ssh folder, it will use all those first before the specified one, and often exhausts login attempts giving a very hard to diagnose login failure. In that case I need -o IdentitiesOnly yes option to tell ssh to only use the one I specified.

I had the same experience with Canonical. They advertise hundreds of jobs in LinkedIn, in every major city around the world.

I applied for one that matched my skillset well, and the recruiter was enthusiastic about my application.

After my application was accepted, and passed the first round of scrutiny, they wanted a long and detailed cover letter answering some very specific and personal questions about your education and career. Eg. “How would your friends describe you in High School?” and “What was your least favourite subject in high school?”. Man, high school was 20 years ago, how is that relevant? And weird stuff like “how can Canonical become a global leader in Software and compete against Microsoft, Apple, and Google?”. I’m a senior software engineer, not a CEO.

I did a whole series of tests, did their online exam and weird online IQ test thing. I passed them all with very good results. Then suddenly got the rejection letter out of nowhere.

I don’t think they actually want to recruit people. They have no budget to put on new software engineers. They just want to advertise hundreds of jobs on Linkedin and send candidates through meaningless hoops for weeks to make it look like they’re recruiting.

I’m not in US either. This was actually in a computer lab, and I got there 10 minutes early, the lecturer wasn’t there yet. Her guy is not in our class, he left when the class started.

No, unrelated.

Fyi, Tidal dropped MQA in July and moved to using FLAC. https://www.headphonesty.com/2024/06/tidal-officially-dumps-mqa/ I like Qobuz too, and I support and encourage their mission in the streaming world. But personally I find more of my favourite artists are available on Tidal than on Qobuz. Unfortunately I find the tidal “station”-style playlists are also garbage. Nobody has a chance to effectively compete with Spotify’s algorithm on that front.

I’ve experienced both.

I worked up the courage to ask her out after some of her friends assured me she was single, and said I had a good chance.

She was great about it, said she was flattered and let me down gently with the “oh, I would, but sorry I have a boyfriend” line. I thought it was an excuse to soften the rejection.

A week later I saw her walking on campus holding hands with a guy, and later I saw her in class sitting on his lap. Turns out she really did have a secret boyfriend for almost a month that she didn’t tell her friends about, but after she said it to me, she felt she could make it public.

To answer your question, getting rejected was not as bad as I thought, but seeing her with someone else was unexpectedly worse for me.

I dropped out of that uni at the end of the semester and never saw her again, but still occasionally think about her.

How the heck is he 25? Dude has bushy old-man eyebrows and greying hair. He looks 55, not 25.

Try Nobara. It’s based on Fedora but it’s got a whole bunch of gaming-related patches including all of the required additions for out-of-the-box HDR support.

It’s actually optionally-typed. But if you’re liberal with type annotations you can treat it as statically typed.

Julia

Yeah, that’s how I’m choosing to interpret them.

Common cold is rhinovirus, not norovirus.

Everyone replying seems to be confusing “timeline” with “generation” or “era”, discussing how this point in time is better than other times in history. That is not what OP was asking.

+1 for Fedora. It is exactly what OP is asking for.
