anyway I remember someone posted this webapp where you feed it sentences and then it generates more sentences in a similar style, and we used it to generate selectbutton posts but I can’t remember the link or what it was called. anyone remember?
edit I found it it’s https://talktotransformer.com/
It weeds out most people. People with perfectly reasonable CS degrees and work experience on their resume, so they get through that part of the screen but get annihilated by questions as easy as fizzbuzz anyway. Ikr
Most people who apply, anyway. It might be a case of the worst people apply for lots of jobs and the best people mostly stay put in one place and rarely interview.

console.log(i%3?i%5?i:"Buzz":i%5?"Fizz":"FizzBuzz")i think my labour market value just went down

Learning on my own with very little programming background means I don’t really have any way of knowing how convoluted my code is vs what it needs to be. I just try things until they work and then clean it up.
i think your example would be accepted as more readable at a glance, especially in an interview. you could probably simplify it by replacing the final ‘else if’ line with just ‘else’, but otherwise it’s fine.
what nettle posted is more of a hyper-compact code golf solution, which some developers aren’t impressed by
yeah, it doesn’t reflect well on me that i’m still amused by that kind of thing.
(to be clear, wasn’t trying to dis your answer, i spent 45 minutes happily messing with it, first programming i’d done for like 2 years)
Broco brings up a good point. You need to ask yourself who you want privacy from. The question is one that meganerds take for granted while marketing agencies take advantage of it by acting as if a VPN is a universal privacy guard. A VPN is useful for privacy from your ISP and will avoid the bigger dragnets (eg torrenting game of thrones). It’s … less useful in other circumstances, for the reasons outlined above.
There are cases where it can be useful to combine a VPN with a more general privacy tool like Tor.
wait, why wouldn’t you want less verbose code if you can do it with less?
Be verbose enough that it can be easily maintained without having to decipher hieroglyphics every time there’s a bug.
Oh wow this is for the real real heads
code should err on the side of being verbose, clean, and readable if you’re on a team, imo. no one wants to try and read your mind. unless you’re working on something with strict memory limits there’s no benefit to saving lines of code aside from looking cool and it isn’t always more performant either.
I’m in the market for a modem and router so I can stop paying $10 a month in rental fees to my ISP. What kind of stuff should I keep in mind?
Apparently my 500mbps connection requires a modem with DOCSIS 3.1 and 32 channels. There’s a surprisingly small collection of modems on amazon that fit these specs and they’re all pretty pricey.
On top of that, I don’t know ANYTHING about what to look for in a router.
modern modems are expensive and I would just keep renting one tbh
you should run your own router on top of that regardless though. the most performant one I’ve ever used that doesn’t cost a ton, which I’m using right now, is the tp link ac2300. they don’t make them anymore so you’re probably at the point of getting a used one or ignoring my recommendation though. in general if you want to do any kind of in-home streaming between two wireless clients or NAS stuff, you should probably get a 4-band router, but otherwise you’ll be OK with any 5ghz 802.11ac that’s rated for 1300mbps or faster.
Thanks! If the modem I’m renting already has a built-in router, what’s the potential advantage of running my own on top of that?
I’ve never ever had an ISP-provided combo modem and router that can do anything remotely complex without being needlessly frustrating
like, if you’ve ever had bad latency issues when multiple people are connecting to it at once, or tried to stream anything over your local network, or tried to do any kind of other advanced routing… you will want to buy another router. if not, don’t worry about it!
So I am getting into Roll20, and I really wanna play a Pathfinder2e/D&D5e campaign… where would be the best way to do that? Are there any SBers interested in running something small?
Hell yes more sb tabletop games pls
Make a damn podcast why dontcha
I will say it’s kind of weird to “get into Roll20” as distinct from getting into a game you would play using Roll20? Like it’s a platform for playing games, it is not itself a game and I find it weird that someone could “get into” a neutral piece of technology like a platform. Maybe I’m just not getting what you’re saying
But yes absolutely more sbers playing ttrpgs together on the internet
i wanna play an apocalypse engine game with sb people that’d be cool
