I switched to fedora 3 months ago and it’s been fine
the only real issue is vidya that need high end hardware — dx12 runs noticeably worse than on win10, and nvidia drivers aren’t as good — and the occasional lack of random good software that I’m used to. An example, nothing as good as mp3tag exists, kid3 is a joke.
To be fair I’m not sure there’s much of a benefit vs running debloated win10 ltsc, but at least I don’t need to worry about microdick trying to upload my entire drive to their servers and try to push ads on me. KDE is excellent and I vastly prefer it to macOS, originally I thought mac sucks cause I’m just used to windows but months later macos still sucks while it took me just a few days to get used to kde

Back then incompetent new-hires were fired before the end of the week. Somewhere along the way companies became afraid to fire people for incompetence. This made the competent people frustrated and so they job hopped. Overtime companies become staffed with only the incompetent who do not hire the competent because incompetent employees always claim something is 1) impossible or 2) too complicated to hide their incompetence.
Jeets are reliably incompetent.

If everything wasn't digital, I imagine prospective employees would figure out it'd be less effort to sabotage job websites and (international) recruiters than fight everyone else in their country, and abroad, for a limited number of local jobs.

The only things to take away from you seem to be a cargo cult concept of first in, first to get the job, and to apply for remote work that no-one else wants to do (non-thirdie qualification required).

>>don't do [bullshit], they can smell your desperation
>>instead do [bullshit that is desperate]
I can see why this would seem off. The point isn't about making desperate moves, but about if that desperation is visible to the other person. Things like a desperately large number of applications aren't something that is visible to the person looking at your application, they just see what you positions that they manage that you applied for. Getting first in line in the application pool isn't something that reads as desperate, since they won't even consider that. Cold messaging recruiters and hiring managers on LinkedIn reeks of desperation in a way that's offputting to them, like a beggar with their hand out.

>The only things to take away from you seem to be a cargo cult concept of first in, first to get the job
Definitely take that away from what I said. You may not like it, but first 5 people in the applicant pool have much better visibility than applicants 30-450 in the pool of 500 streetshitters. Also you should take into account what I said about interviewing as much as possible with jobs you dont want, so when you get into an interview where you want to work, it's not your first time getting grilled with questions you dont know how to answer and so you have the interview format down.

were they a stroke of genius or a mistake? and how come no-one ever tried implementing rational numbers in hardware?

Can someone explain to an ignorant mathfag why computers don't implement rational numbers as a valid pair of ints?
I know people psychologically "like" decimal expansions, but what is the actual reason behind it?
Checking if denominator is zero is too complex? No unique form?
>>
>>107713981
and I didn't mean to be mean or actually think you were a chatbot
>>
>>107714106
Pair of ints wouldn't give a wide range of values that can be represented. With ints going around [-2e9, 2e9], there isn't really a way to store larger values. You can always use larger integer types, but to represent numbers like 1e100, or 1e-100 using the same number format (quite common for scientific applications), you'd need insanely big numerators.

The unique form can be achieved by enforcing that the gcd of the denominator with the numerator is always 1 (except for 0..), and that the denominator must be positive (numerators carry the sign). This representation guarantees uniqueness.

But the actual reason why computers don't 'implement' it, is that rationals don't require any special operations When you multiply two rationals: a/b * q/r, the result is (a*b) / (b*r), which was achieved using only integer operations. Additions/subtractions are a little harder to implement because you need to normalize the denominators, but they're essentially all integer operations, so there's no need for computers to have special instructions.

Even implementing special functions can be done using power series, which can be computed using rationals only,
Some languages like lisps have rationals as first-class language features and they work really well.

Then I'm puzzled that it's slow. A modern computer should have no problem comparing MD5 hashes against a filter list quickly, even if the list has a million items. I thought the slowness would be due to using some fancy perceptual hash algorithm that's hard to evade.

Can someone explain me the deal with Android and its version numbers?

Back in the days we had Eclair, Froyo and Gingerbread for 2.x.x updates, and ICS, Jelly Bean and Kitkat for 4.x.x updates. Now, ever since Lollipop, we are jumping from 5 to 6 to 7 to 8, even though Marshmallow, Nougat and Oreo could've easily fit as 5.x.x

What is the retarded logic behind this? I don't want to see Android with retarded inflated numbers like Chrome and Firefox which are around their version 50 or so.

i like kde plasma because it's very windows like but I don't like how the main feature is supposedly customization but they for some reason partially removed pointed corners in plasma 6.0 and the only way to get them back completely is to install some sort of plugin, right now you only get pointed corners in the bottom corners

just keep the pointed corners in the settings menu and let me flick them back on you had that in previous versions!
