I’m still in a mechanical engineering world so just saying INT and FLOAT has people running away. Excel is the “safe zone” for them, sadly it means that I’ll just be doing the VBA part and oh gawd please get me out of here…

Can confirm. Was quite unhappy in my mechanical engineering job, had an opportunity to develop something nice in python, was told we’d do it in excel/vba instead, still unhappy.

I remember those questions! As soon as I read high school my mind went from “working for Canonical would be nice” to “let’s justify not writing an essay by reading everything bad about Canonical”.

Lucky for me it was easy as r/recruitinghell was full of post about people doing the whole process and being rejected. Also the CEO had a reddit account and the way he was justifying this process didn’t jive with me, at all.

VM is still windows tho, just one layer deeper.

Freecad is OK but it wouldn’t even be considered in a commercial setting like I’m working in. I work with Catia, Solidworks and Polyworks. None on those run on Linux.

Sadly Windows is still required for a lot of cad softwares.

Just tried both and I don’t know which one made me feel better

One felt like being run over by a train, the other felt I was a legless puppy in front of a kindergarten.

“OK then do me a favor, shut it down, unplug the power for 5 second and plug it back in”

I dunno, I’m getting tired of them

Having to install things mostly through flatpaks works seamlessly until it doesn’t. Then you’re stuck in dependency hell where you have to open holes in your containers to allow access to files or binaries.

I’m at a point where I layer enough software that I don’t know If there is still value added.

I’m currently trying Fedora Kinoite and from the get go the hassle of getting a proper Firefox+codecs to watch online videos feels like a major step back.

Then you have the issue of installing software in flatpack (is: vscode, texmaker) that are either not fully working of need to have their access tweaked. Atomic distros appeal is to “just work” it doesn’t seem like it does.

I use colemak-dhm btw

No Pika? My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

I debated between the edit and “earn it” but I figured at this point the edit would be better.

Hyenas are matriarchals and they fucking deserve it.

Edit: They deserve their social position, not being ripped apart if that wasn’t clear

Pretty much the same reason why Quebec offers high subventions for R&D. This in turn attracts new companies and specialized employees. What the province pays in subventions they get back in attractive jobs.

+1… Started using Zola and built on top of it to learn scss, javascript, and HTML. All that extra building was not required for a running site but was still a great learning experience.

With the exception of Ontario, which is beefing up consumer protection legislation, Canada has poor consumer protection legislation, said Tamblyn Watts.

Just a side note, for a long time now companies have refused to sell items in Quebec due to the strict legislations surrounding consumer protections. Maybe Ontario is catching up but I wouldn’t say they are the exception in Canada.

Especially that this was mostly a smoke screen considering how easy it is to register a company in Canada and then buy estate from said company. Suddenly it isn’t foreign investment anymore.
