Oh yes. No kids, no pets.

No job?

Or is this just a weekend routine?

2pm: have a meeting of max 1 hour.
3pm: end of work day, start prepping diner.
7pm: done with diner, wash the twenty pans and nine oven trays.
7:30pm: more weightlifting, more testosterone = more better.
9pm: time for bed, a good night rest starts early!

Social life is a waste of time 99% of the time, just take those antidepressants more often.

It is. If it's 140 mbit/s (or 15 MB/s), Flight Simulator only uses 54 GB per hour. OP is confusing bits and bytes.

It's still a shit load of data.

Even from across the ocean I can see the shitshow that is your electoral system. Third parties won't work as long as that dumb First Past the Post system is kept up, so you're completely wasting your vote.

The kids will be killed by the Genocidal State of Israel anyway. Your only choice is if you want to watch from a broken system of democracy, or a dictatorship.

It's common, but still a tad weird.

My job consists of creating internal apis for databases to be consumed by internal systems. So yes, wrapping databases in APIs is very common and sometimes required.

The part I find weird of my job, is that the database isn't one of our team. We're accessing someone else's database, to be consumed by our own api, and writing a api to do so nicely. That's the crooked part.

Amsterdam Central Station will go under significant maintenance soon, causing the train to depart from Schiphol Airport instead (if I'm not mistaken).

He's really good at writing words about his on-stolen-content-based generated image, you got to give him that.

But no, fuck copyrighting AI content, that's a dead channel from a copyright perspective.

I got used to using Copilot for a project that had it be accessible for very junior programmers (thus: lots of explanation in comments). It worked great, creating a chunk of boilerplate for each described function.

It's absolutely useless in the real world. Code is 5+ years old, crosses over various coding conventions and does not use the stuff seen as default on StackOverflow.

Copilot couldn't figure out what I wanted. Intellij's long list of internal If-statements does the job though, and saves on a few households of power consumption.

I've never heard that. I want my CV to be a representation of what I can do, not how much time I spent making what I can do look good.

My resume was about 4 pages with Europass, but in the end the cover letter did the heavy lifting.

For my most recent application I submitted an Europass resume. It embeds an xml with the pdf, making it machine readable.

Whether or not the ATS can read it, I don't know.
