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.

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

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.

+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.

Some bloggers have experimented and used Mastodon as a medium to comments on their blog posts. Works quite well.

Siemens makes NX. Catia is made by Dassaults. They compete for the same space in the market

It’s a software that is used extensively in aerospace and car industries. It’s also ludicrous how expensive the licenses are.

It’s hard to beat for completeness of functions but also for complexity.

Working with Catia is the other way around, no amount of documentation is complex enough that you really understand what something does or can do.

It’s a pretty standard process to have some parts installed “loose” and tightened at a later time. It could be to ensure fitment, add rigidity or even just to protect the mating surfaces from the elements during transport.

Also it’s probably not just because Boeing is gonna open them up that they don’t fully secure them. I haven’t seen the specs but it’s quite common to have a reinspection requirements when disassembling something that was fully installed for stress and damage.

Pretty much nothing in aerospace is left to communications. The assembly manuals are not just complete, they are painfully exhaustive.

I disagree but you do you.

Edit: dammit you edit your comment a lot for someone who claims to know how to write code properly.

Because everyone knows a function stops at the if-else. Nothing ever happens afterward.

I say ess cue ell for the sake of uniformity because it’s not Mysequel nor Postgresequel and the language changed from Sequel to the acronym SQL in the 70s so not really in the “too new” ballpark anymore.

It was added in 3.10 and is surprisingly complete. The tutorial pep is a good starting point to see what it can accomplish

Fixed!

def is_even(n):
    match n:
        case 1:
            return False
        case 0:
            return True
        # fix No1
        case n < 0:
            return is_even(-1*n)
        case _:
            return is_even(n-2)

There’s nothing limiting what a comment should be as far as I know.

As an example of what I mean, I’ve seen in a 10k+ lines python code a few lines of bit manipulation. There was a comment explaining what those lines did and why. They didn’t expect everyone to be proficient in bit manipulation but it made it so that anyone could understand anyway.
