I realize political content is in general discouraged here, but I feel this particular instance (rather, the backlash of replies) may be of interest as a "catalyst" post considering the entity in question is, I think, pretty widely known by this point on the nerd/hacker internet.

Title was taken from their second reply.

I only worked a single restaurant for about 7 weeks. I'd leave with my ears ringing, everything outside sounded muffled at the end of the night.

I understand the appeal some people see in the work (it is honest work after all), but I literally could not hear what people said in there. I just nodded and assumed it wasn't profane!

My apologies, I misspoke. It's the program itself that, without my intervention, will go haywire, regardless of whether I've followed a guide or started from scratch. I seem to be the only one with this particular problem, so I never knew how to fix it.

How did you get EAC working exactly? I tried to use it on numerous occasions and each time it would randomly freeze or repeatedly show a dialog box (I forget what it was now, something about tips maybe) until I closed the software. Even while I did nothing the boxes kept appearing. This would cause it to overlay itself endlessly in a loop.

I have to wonder whether in the coming decades we'll have types of nature preserves or botanical amusement parks where you can stroll through entirely bioluminescent fields (small fields!) of trees and shrubs. Not unlike Avatar, but maybe not (yet) so strongly vibrant. :)

Completely guessing, but the thought comes to mind that Rust was (still is? I don't keep up these days) portrayed as The C Killer. So to specify "written in Rust" was to imply "I wrote something low-level without C/C++" or "I rewrote Popular C Tool in Rust" in the name of memory safety.

This is all wild speculation on my part, so please take it with a large grain of salt. I welcome alternative explanations or experiences.

I've been told by recruiters directly that the multicolumn layout style can mess up applicant tracking systems, so it's best to go with the standard format. It looks boring, but it won't cause the system to reject your resume because of extra spacing or formatting.

Not a good source of input, but I've had a Chromebook for the last ~8 years that has no cracks or broken anything. I've only had to replace the SSD once in the entire time it's been running near 24/7 as a home server and auxillary PC with GalliumOS.

Then again, it stays on a shelf, but it hasn't had any mystery developments in play. Maybe the screen has washed out a little but that's it.

There are examples, yes, but I took it as the implication that a 10x engineer shouldn't be the bare minimum for the entire workforce's ability to reason about a problem or dedication to its craft (and thus lead to the meme that one isn't worth spent effort unless they are in the >=10x group).
