1. Interview
2. team meet-up
3. coding tasks with my thought process

According to the team I nailed it + above expectations. I was asked for my salary: Said at least between X and Y.

I received an offer with X.

1. negotiations
2. negotiation feedback

They raised it to the middle

I declined. New offer arose: Y.

I declined again since they were cheap and not transparent like me.

Received a flame e-Mail afterwarsa about how I would dare to decline since it is the matching salary. I have wasted their time and effort. THE CEO WROTE THE LAST SENTENCE IN UPPERCASE.

Oh, and I should have been responsible for one year to maintain enums about tax numbers, since everybody started there like this.

Uff.

I just talked to my superior about the most urgent thing EU countries are facing currently. I should add that he is 100% disabled but studied in CS and reads everything which is interesting to him and his world view.

When I said that social media dictates the discussions and the media, we agreed on the thought after a short period.

And if we could solve this issue we mostlikely would get awarded a noble price.

What I am trying to say: Social media is run by - at least - flawed people. And used by the evil ones to their maximum, putting the honest Ones into a position to explain.

We are loosing our discourse, we are mixing our cultures - or we split at our ethics.

Social media is a cancer with no current treatment. Civilians will be in favor of social media since it also benefits society directly. But we are diminishing other things with it.

Maybe there will be one more brilliant mind educated who may aid us in these times.

Thats why you are beeing told beforehand and may just pick a stock photo.

Well, you have the option to elaborate otherwise. Huge effort to normalize this survey.

I - carefully - maintained a music library. Got an ipod. Loved the device. Though sync via itunes was cumbersome.

Wanted to sync my tracks back to another device. Nope. Not supported. Everz track was rewritten into some garbage, including its tags.

Locked in a prison without knowing.

My elderly parents got iphones. They started sharing pictures via their message app. Required multiple times showing them that we - android users - receive aweful pictures. Prison.

Apple watch is only syncing with iphones. Prison.

Used to be an app developer. Releasing something as open source for ios is not feasible. You have to anually pay 120 USD to publish. Prison. Therefore you release the app in a paid manner. They tell you which price to raise. And tax 30%. Prison.

A friend wrote a thesis with some apple-writer thingy. Asked me for some help saving in the required file format. Couldn't manage to. Prison.

Maybe you can use some German bank. They allow one to interact with their API for free. I use GNU cash for it. Though I doubt that you can file your taxes via GNU cash and be aligned with current UK law. You would need to check it for your own.

GTFO, clicking on "buy now" two times results in some shop which has "aliexpress" as the official partner.

This can't be a product from the sources mentioned, can it?

Our countries welcome Ukrainian refugees.

I am friends with Russians in my country.

Russiana living here sneak benefits by saying they are Ukrainians.

The majority of Russians living here voted for Putin polls have shown.

Some Russians denounce our media and only watch Russian state TV.

So if they can't adapt after beeing here for decades I tend to believe that the Russian common sense differs immensly from ours. And therefore I agree with this propaganda: Fuck Russia.

They talk about eachother on the highest level but Russian citizens - here or in Russia - do not form loud critique. If my Brother was jailed for critique I would apread the word in my circles who would spread the word.... WE IN THE WEST WOULD MAKE US HEARD.

Russians benefiting from the lower prices just agree with their government and apparently do not care about their country killing innocent people.

So fuck Russians as well.

• Obviously not every Russian is stupid or bad. But if they want to get out of their war, they have to speak up. This is exactly what they demand from other countries with inner conflicts.

Middlefinger to those Asteroids !!

Also we are already onto bundling it as a .deb

It's a statement: Russia as the only country on the world is not allowed to participate to the biggest human collaboration in existence which runs 90% of all computers due to bad state actions.

They should fucking speak up to Putin not Torvalds.

May I?

A controlling department wasn't granted any money for digitializing their workflow.

So these guys created their own solution(s!). Things like dedicated "user interfaces" loading data from tables created by hand. After years these people realized that data formatting is quite the issue.

They started to put random rules into different tables:

Two empty lines: New Group Data Record. One empty line: New Subgroup Data Record.

Excel tables aggregating this data via hardcoded links.

A dedicated table to start calculations on parent tables.

They mutated data like this:

Load data from excel files into one. Manually delete, add or change lines (or columns). Start a collection run from dedicated excel file and load new excel file data and replace old excel file data.

They had files where 'it was easier to read' when they pivot the data. This was troublesome since some values are intermediate results. Dropping one column may imply dropping another one as well.

All workflows required manual alignments along the way.

They were only able to process 10% of the data from a year within a year. Managing millions in cash.

Their data input came from different internal sources. Programs which were written two decades ago once and without any tests. Talking like VB, macro's from host servers and copy-pasta data from other internal programs.

And don't get me started on customer tables.. They created a zip-code encoded filesystem hierarchy where each customer data (you guessed it, excel file) was renamed and then saved. In each of these directories where randomly named files if something went wrong; So no actual file patterns to rely on.

I respect them.

They creates a diagram for their tables with word. Word! (Didn't know either: you can select the web view in the bottom right corner and you get an infitive canvas..) Madness.

Gives you an adapter and an standalone tool. All banks should use the same API, apparently.

If they are familiar with these task a solution can get outlined with words easily.

The author summarized it perfectly.

Thanks, Sir.

I searched for an pendant of SHOWHN: (/c/showlemmy) for a serious post but couldn't find any.

Maintaining such isn't in my capabilities and should be done by younger lemmings; So anyone feel free to move this post entirely in order to show me a matching community!

"Stop it Morty! Microsoft just wants to sell licenses to hardware vendors, don't you see it you, you, you stupid little btch. It's a conglomerate, Morty!"

More insights I gained using this laptop (intended for the curious Linux enthusiast):

• Kernel support for Audio and Screens is heavily dependend on user space: X.org and Wayland experience differs immensely. Even some udev-rules only work with certain compositors (and X11 feels like it is out of scope).
• Debian lacks people contributing to the linux and linux-firmware package. The onboarding is quite steep due to a lack of alignment between code and documentation.
• Developers if userspace programs react very fast to new requirements but they rely on upstreamed (to Debian's kernel-team) kernel-config's.
• Prompting bugs to the kernel appears to be done through kernel contributors only: Users will prompt hindrances on IRC (via OTFC, #aarch64-laptops) prompting the contributor and they will verify and support before addressing issues.
• There are archived advancements to the support which can't be merged due to citation reasons and alignment with upstream can't be done by the individual (there is a pareto-capable kernel for virtualization but within one week hunderts of commits need to get reviewed). This is impressive imo.

Awesome suggestion. It has a browser preview!

Steam may be some indirection he may be troublesome about (hope this isn't lost in translation).

In the same vein I will name "Tiny Glade".

Nah men. You play the victim card. This is still in active use to reason about misdoings by Russians.

Don't compare yourself to Western countries in such a simplified way.

Russians have contributed too much crimes in their occupied countries in the last centuries. You guys felt and acted entitled.

There are always other choices.

You guys contributed actively to cruelty. Instead of admitting things you compare yourself to others to denounce them.

Reflect about yourself, not others.
