Been gaming since 1984 or some such.
By number of hours played: Factorio
By number of hours I can monologue about a game at you: also Factorio
By how much I think it affected gaming industry and culture: Doom
The case studies, historical events, and intellectual movements discussed in the book all receive superficial treatment, and in general the content does not work in service of the argumentation.
That's how academics say "this book is racist horseshit"
Xenon 2?
If you do microcontroller, look up PID regulator functions. Stabilizes anything measurable with super basic math.
Man made. Caused by the person cutting the plank doing a shit job.
They actually took that into account :) Basic tech is not affected.
Haha, that's the attitude :)
I did say, in a nice way, that "they are your competitors either way".
And yeah, companies treating interviews as a one-way evaluation is a red flag.
There was this book that was hype around 2010, called "Are you smart enough to work at Google?". It was full of interview questions and brainteasers that I strongly suspected I'd find interesting, but I couldn't get over the title. I wanted to scream "Fuck you, book! Is Google smart enough to hire ME?!"
We are, as a profession, systematically manipulated via these interview processes to feel stupid and inferior to drive down wages. I'd rather come off as slightly too arrogant now and then, rather than submit to that.
there are people who make me feel good because they give me various benefits. is that what you mean?
No, but it is a good point to bring up, because it illustrates the attitude you bring to human interactions. It reduces people to transactions, and it shines through. This creates a very strong wall/barrier to forming connections.
Start liking people. Practice finding things you like with people around you. Things that make you feel they are a good person.
React positively to other people when they say or do things.
Show interest in what occupies other people.
(And of course don't do stupid shit like lash out or insult people to feel better.)
Real conversation, not exaggerated. Actually slightly toned down:
"We offer a competitive salary! It's $number!"
"I have 2 offers 10% higher, from a shipping company and a finance company, in the same city"
"We don't compete with the finance and shipping sectors"
"And 15% higher in one of the consultancies"
"We don't compete with consultancies either"
(I think I'm going to put Reigninh Monarch of Norway on my CV. I just don't compete with King Harald.)
They were stress-bored and were fidgeting by tapping their watch so much that it accidentally triggered the emergency mode and sent me this SMS.
Alert not intended but also in some way accurate.

Still new, and trying to learn all the things and terms :)
Came over this (store bought soap) and was wondering why it becomes sorta layered after use. I read today about "glycerin rivers" which can happen both during hot process soap, or cold process where the soap gets very hot during the gel phase.
I always felt it was a bit sad that the really cool engine exhaust was always down off the edge of the screen and anything interesting, so I decided to see how this worked.
Pretty happy with it! Learned from last time that I absolutely do not want any processing to go through the main storage, as it makes it so hard to select cargo when everything shifts around.
Also calmed down with engines and uncalmed on production. This thing is used to transport science from Gleba, so it's got to spend very little time refuelling.
Also added fuel, oxidizer and ammo gauges below the main storage so I didn't have to keep inspecing. When everything is full, a 3x7 rainbow lights up. :)
Any suggestions for name? It looks like a beefy dude with hairy armpits, so trying to come up with something that fits my mental image of that somehow.
My first working platform that has now taken me to my first two planets!
After the sad fate of Space Boat which went through the asteroid field like pudding through a cheese grater, and Space Boat II which did not have enough production capabilities to ward off wandering asteroids at Fulgora, the Space Boat III worked perfectly.
With the ability to travel safely and refuel and rearm itself in orbit around any of the starter planets, it is now running autonomous supply transport between Nauvis, Fulgora and Vulcanus without needing any oversight.
At some point I'll have to make a platform with bigger storage and stronger production capabilities so it can travel faster, but for now it does a solid job. :)

Not understanding the questions is very much an indicator.
If it is an option, ask to take these tests together with a professional during assessment. They can both clarify the questions and will also make note of your approach to the test which is strong data.
