@JourneymanGeek Applying ... just one more chance ?

Mine eyes thyey are bleeding - who thought that would be a good change to the way sites look ?

I have a friend who stopped his IT job and now spends his day collecting and delivering blood samples. Another spends a couple of days a week delivering new vans/cars and collecting old ones from around the country.

If I get bored I can always pick up some horse livery work - there is always pleanty of that around here.
My computer time will become limited to just gaming

user9517

Mar 21 14:41

May need to make adjustments but got to give it a whirl.

user9517

Mar 21 14:37

I'm stopping work in a few weeks and not currently planning to find anything in the short term an won't go back to tech stuff (or possibly anything) in the long term

user9517

Mar 21 14:35

Ouch

user9517

Mar 21 14:34

Between jobs long ?

user9517

Mar 21 14:32

That will likely save you from redundancy heartache

user9517

Mar 21 14:07

Always :)

user9517

Mar 21 14:06

@JourneymanGeek Has that piqued your interest ?

user9517

Playing catch up after creating something awesome and neglecting it - could easily have been slack or discord

user9517

Mar 21 13:22

I've just been reading the ting on meta about chat which made me curios

user9517

Mar 21 13:20

Haven't used slack in a looooog time so dunno anything about AI

user9517

Mar 21 13:17

What does discord offer over slack. The only think I missed when we left here was the threading which is still the best I've found/used

user9517

Mar 21 13:14

How is the appartment going ?

user9517

Mar 21 13:13

Cool that it's still going

user9517

Mar 21 13:11

@JourneymanGeek does the chat room that everyone left here for in 2014 still exist and in use at all ?

user9517

Mar 3 09:46

Failing with AI is more a failure to realise that they didn't need it. They need experts.

user9517

Mar 3 09:44

If they mess with chat they will screw it up - in particular the threading - which so far is the best I'm aware of.

Insolvency

user9517

Mar 3 09:40

Aye, they have spike of interest too followed by downsizing of the troops

user9517

Mar 3 09:31

The CEO turned up on meta, did/said the minimum to placate people and get them back where the company needs them and moved on to the next thing in his schedule.

If more people are hired then double will be let go in a few months when the social ambitions that are being pushed fail. Why not just witebox reddit ?

user9517

I had a brief spike of enthusiasm that almost made the level of putting an answer here ... get rid of social aspirations (metrics/signups/onboarding &c) and focus on Q&A. Use the freed up resources to improve the experience of Q&A to the point that people come back - spilt milk would have aged slower

How goes the apartment ?

user9517

Jan 24 14:12

Happy New Year
Oh no, not again - chaos monkey deployed
@JourneymanGeek How goes ?

user9517

Nov 12, 2024 14:33

Not with the same bowl of petunias though

user9517

Nov 12, 2024 14:25

Somewhat late but Oh no, not again

user9517

Oct 3, 2024 11:44

I use this mainly for running lots of VMs for work the 1700 seems to do the trick

user9517

Oct 3, 2024 11:36

I used to but not any more. Having said that I just looked at what my MB supports and getting an R7 5800x looks like a big jump up

user9517

Oct 3, 2024 11:24

and my MB is a PRIME X370-PRO

user9517

Oct 3, 2024 11:22

I'm still using a Ryzen 7 1700 + 64GB from 2017(I think)

user9517

Oct 3, 2024 11:19

What's the rest - I haven't built a system in years but I did look inside mine recently after spilling coffee all over the place ( no damage fortunately)

user9517

Oct 3, 2024 11:17

Cloud Stop not a bad idea

user9517

Oct 3, 2024 11:17

After reading the beginning of that post I am not sure I have the fortitude to fight my way though the manglement speak

user9517

Oct 3, 2024 11:12

oh I have never read the blog

user9517

Oct 3, 2024 11:12

... rate limits ?

user9517

Oct 3, 2024 11:11

Ongoing (data dump(ster)) or new stuff ?

user9517

Oct 3, 2024 11:10

Are we drama free between the community and the company (I am scared to look)

user9517

Oct 3, 2024 11:09

Hopefully soon then

user9517

Oct 3, 2024 11:08

Moooved in ?

user9517

Oct 3, 2024 11:08

Apartment complete ?

user9517

Oct 3, 2024 11:05

@JourneymanGeek how goes ?

user9517

@JourneymanGeek how goes the apartment ?

user9517

Jul 29, 2024 07:24

and also bear in mind that anything on the internet will be abused ...

user9517

Jul 29, 2024 07:12

I would not be at all surprised to find the data dumps are hosted on a ZX Spectrum connected by a 300 baud modem and a damp piece of string (or otherwise severely resource limited) so that they are less tha practical to download

user9517

Jul 27, 2024 13:29

So the legal team is as useless as TPTB.

user9517

Jul 22, 2024 12:33

Given the dysfunctional reality TPTB reside in, I don't see anything changing

user9517

Jul 22, 2024 09:33

Given what has happened to people within the company who are (perceived as) 'close' to the community, I don't see anyone stepping up any time soon. In fact I see the gap between the company and the community widening evermore and fewer people in the community engaging
